## Products & services

• Underground gold mining
• Gold concentrate and doré production
• Mine expansion and plant construction
• Mineral resource development
• Exploration and prefeasibility studies

- **Gold mining operations** (85%) — Production of gold from operating underground mines in Colombia.
- **Processing and gold sales** (10%) — Milling, processing, and sale of produced gold as concentrate or doré.
- **Development projects** (3%) — Construction and ramp-up of new mining and processing capacity.
- **Exploration and project advancement** (2%) — Drilling, studies, and permitting for future mine development.

## Customers

Aris Mining sells gold into the bullion and metals market rather than to a narrow end-customer base. Its revenues are ultimately tied to refiners, traders, and financial counterparties that purchase produced gold, while project development value depends on future production markets. Customer demand is therefore driven by global gold pricing, liquidity in precious metals markets, and the company’s ability to deliver saleable output from its mines.

- **Gold bullion buyers** (primary) — Buy produced gold for trading, hedging, or downstream fabrication value.
- **Refiners and precious metals intermediaries** (primary) — Buy mine output to refine, certify, and route into market channels.
- **Commodity market participants** (secondary) — Indirect buyers via the gold market where pricing drives realized revenue.
- **Project financing and strategic partners** (secondary) — Support development-stage assets such as new mines and processing plants.

- Bullion and metals traders buying produced gold
- Refiners and counterparties handling physical gold sales
- Financial-market buyers exposed to gold pricing
- Future project partners and investors in mine growth
- Offtake-style buyers for mine output when available

## Geography

Aris Mining is headquartered in the United States for reporting purposes, but its operating footprint is concentrated in South America, especially Colombia. The company’s current mining and development assets are in Colombia, with additional growth projects in Guyana. Geography matters because production, permitting, logistics, and political risk are all tied to country-specific mining regimes and infrastructure conditions.

- **Colombia** (100%) — Operating mines and current production are centered in Colombia.

- Operating mines are in Colombia
- Growth projects extend into Guyana
- South America is the core operating region
- Head office/reporting is tied to the United States
- Country risk affects permits, logistics, and development timing

## Strategy

Aris Mining’s strategy is to expand production from its existing Colombian mines while advancing a pipeline of larger-scale growth projects. The company is building processing and mine capacity to increase annual output and diversify beyond its current operating base. Longer term, it is positioning its portfolio for materially higher gold production through development of Soto Norte and Toroparu.

- **Ramp up Segovia and Marmato** (short-term) — These assets are the core production base and the main source of near-term growth.
- **Advance project pipeline** (medium-term) — New projects extend the company beyond current mine life and support longer-term scale.
- **Build toward larger-scale output** (long-term) — A broader production base can reduce dependence on any single mine and improve strategic flexibility.

- Expand Segovia and Marmato production capacity
- Ramp up new processing infrastructure
- Advance Soto Norte and Toroparu studies
- Move toward a larger multi-asset production base
- Use Colombia operating scale to fund growth

## Risks

Aris Mining is exposed to the normal operating risks of precious-metals mining, including geotechnical issues, plant performance, labor, and reserve replacement. Because the company operates in Colombia and is developing projects in South America, it also faces country, permitting, and political risk that can affect production timing and capital deployment. Gold price volatility and execution risk on expansion projects remain central to business performance.

- **Gold price volatility** [high] — Revenue is directly linked to global gold prices and realized pricing.
- **Underground mining and processing risk** [high] — Mines can face dilution, ground control, equipment downtime, and throughput issues.
- **Country and permitting risk** [high] — Operations and projects depend on host-country approvals and mining-policy stability.
- **Project execution risk** [high] — New mills and plants must be completed and ramped without major delays or cost overruns.

- Gold price volatility affects realized revenue and project economics
- Underground mining carries geotechnical and safety risks
- Colombia and Guyana expose the company to permitting and political risk
- Construction and ramp-up risk can delay expected production growth
- Exploration and reserve conversion may not replace mined ounces

## Accounting

Aris Mining’s financial reporting is shaped by mining-specific estimates such as reserves, mine lives, and development capitalization, which can materially affect depreciation, depletion, and impairment. The company also reports under IFRS and notes that it measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, while development-stage projects require judgment on capitalization versus expense. Because output and costs can vary with mine sequencing and plant ramp-up, period-to-period comparability may be affected by operating and construction timing.

- **Reserve and resource estimates** — Affects depletion, depreciation, and impairment testing
- **Capitalized development expenditures** — Affects reported operating expenses and asset base
- **Fair value measurements** — Can introduce earnings volatility from mark-to-market changes
- **Ramp-up and production timing** — Affects comparability of margins and unit costs

- Reserve and mine-life estimates affect depletion and impairment
- Capitalization of development costs can shift expenses between periods
- Fair value measurements affect certain financial assets and liabilities
- Ramp-up timing can create quarter-to-quarter production comparability issues
- IFRS adoption and disclosure changes may affect presentation
