Business Overview
Aris Mining is a gold producer in the Americas with an attractive blend of current production, exploration programs, and growth projects. The Company operates two mines in Colombia, the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Upper Mine, which produced 226,151 ounces of gold in 2023. With expansion projects in progress, Segovia and Marmato aim to produce at a combined rate of approximately 500,000 ounces of gold per year by the second half of 2026. In June 2024, Aris Mining increased its ownership in the Soto Norte Project (PSN) to 51%, and the Company is advancing studies to develop a new underground gold, silver and copper mine with a reduced environmental footprint that incorporates opportunities with local contract mining partners (CMPs). In Guyana, Aris Mining is advancing the Toroparu Project, a gold/copper open-pit mining project. Aris Mining is committed to pursuing acquisitions and other growth opportunities to unlock value through scale and diversification.
Highlights
•Revenue exceeded $219.4 million in H1 2024, with an average realized gold price of $2,308 in Q2 2024 and $2,182 for H1 2024.

•In Q2 2024, the growth in AISC margin was primarily driven by higher revenues compared to Q1 2024, resulting from a 12% increase in realized gold prices.
•The market price of gold directly impacts the price of mill feed purchased from the CMP segment of the Segovia Operations. Consequently, higher gold prices also contributed to higher cash costs in Q2 2024.
•Working capital outflows related to VAT receivable incurred in Q2 2024 and H1 2024 are expected to be recovered in H1 2025 in accordance with regular timing of reimbursement from the Colombian tax authorities.

Outlook
Current Operations
For 2024, Aris Mining expects consolidated gold production to be between 220,000 to 240,000 ounces, with in-progress expansion projects to contribute to production growth in 2025 and beyond. The Company is on track to meet the lower end of its full-year 2024 production guidance.
During H1 2024, the Segovia Operations produced 88,613 ounces of gold, while the Marmato Upper Mine contributed 11,370 ounces of gold, bringing total gold production for the six-month period to 99,983 ounces. Plant throughput at the Segovia Operations was slightly reduced in the three months ended March 31, 2024 (Q1 2024) due to planned maintenance, and was further impacted in April 2024 by unplanned maintenance. The processing plant has been operating at above the current design capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day since May 2024.
Gold production at the Segovia Operations is expected to increase in H2 2024 with the processing plant operating at design capacity and as the mine plan progresses to higher-grade zones.
Gold production at the Segovia Operations is sourced from a combination of Owner Mining and CMP mill feeds, with Owner Mining contributing 49.5% and CMPs contributing 50.5% to gold production in H1 2024. Gold produced from Aris Mining’s land titles by Owner Mining and CMPs had an AISC of $1,481 per ounce sold in H1 2024, with cash costs of $1,206 per ounce for Owner Mining and $1,114 per ounce for CMPs, respectively. Additionally, mill feed purchased from CMPs operating “off-title” had a purchase and processing cost of $1,625 per ounce sold during H1 2024. The price of gold affects the cost of mill feed purchased from CMPs. Consequently, higher gold prices may lead to increased costs in H2 2024.
For H2 2024, Aris Mining expects that the cash cost per ounce of its Owner Mining segment will increase somewhat due to inflationary pressures. Cost pressure on the cash cost per ounce of the Company's CMPs operations is expected to continue due to the higher gold price level seen this year compared to our budget assumption of $2,000 per ounce. Thus, cash cost per ounce at Segovia is expected to range from $1,125 to $1,225 for the full year 2024 compared to our prior cash cost guidance of $975 to $1,075. Due to increased sustaining capital for development and the cost pressures described above, full year 2024 AISC per ounce for Segovia is expected to range from $1,400 to $1,500 compared to our prior AISC guidance of $1,225 to $1,325
For additional discussion, see the Segovia Operations review starting on Page 7.
Near-mine Exploration Programs
In H1 2024, $7.5 million has been spent on the exploration drilling program at the Segovia Operations, with this year's drilling program at 70% completed. Aris Mining continues to intersect high-grade mineralization near existing infrastructure, as discussed in a mid-year exploration progress news release issued on August 12, 2024. The results of the 2024 exploration drilling program are expected to drive growth in the Segovia Operation's high grade mineral resources and reserves.
In-progress Expansion Projects
•Segovia Operations processing plant expansion
The expansion to 3,000 tonnes per day (tpd) is progressing on schedule for completion in early 2025. The gold production rate of 200,000-220,000 oz in 2024 is expected to gradually increase to over 300,000 oz as the new plant capacity is used by (i) increasing mining rates and (ii) providing more processing solutions for CMPs.
•Marmato Lower Mine expansion project
Construction commenced in Q3 2023, and, as of June 30, 2024, $33.6 million of the $280 million construction budget has been expended.
•Soto Norte Project
The Company will sole fund certain operating costs during the pre-licensing period, with non-operating and project construction costs funded on a pro-rata ownership basis with our joint-venture partner, Mubadala. Feasibility level studies are underway, with results expected in early 2025.

Gold production at the Segovia Operations of 43,705 ounces in Q2 2024 reflects a decrease against the 47,882 ounces achieved in Q2 2023. Tonnes processed during the quarter were impacted by six days of downtime at the processing plant in April for unplanned maintenance. Despite the downtime, tonnes processed during Q2 2024 were consistent with Q2 2023. Processed grade decreased by 10% for Q2 2024 over the same period in 2023. Gold production at the Segovia Operations is expected to increase in H2 2024 with the processing plant operating at design capacity and as the mine plan progresses to higher-grade zones.
Mining costs increased by $19.5 million for H1 2024 when compared to H1 2023, of which $5.1 million was related to the strengthening of the Colombian peso against the US dollar period-over-period, $2.2 million was as a result of state mandated wage increases and inflation, and $5.5 million was as a result of the higher average realized gold price in H1 2024 and its impact on the cost of mill feed purchased from on-title CMPs at the Segovia Operations.

The price of mill feed purchased from the CMPs at Segovia Operations is adjusted for the grade of the material and the market price of gold at the time of purchase. The price of the purchased mill feed will fluctuate over time in line with movements in the market price of gold – allowing for relatively stable margins from the CMP segment. This pricing mechanism also creates a natural hedge against currency fluctuations as the purchased mill feed is effectively acquired on a US dollar basis.
Owner Mining & On Title CMP
The Owner Mining and on-title CMP operations at the Segovia Operations include mining operations controlled by Aris Mining, and internal and external mining partners who operate on Aris Mining titles. Internal mine partners benefit from Aris Mining's infrastructure, while external mine partners are responsible for their own mine support work.
The on-title business produced 76,315 ounces of gold, with a cash cost per ounce sold of $1,206 and $1,114 for owner mining and on-title CMPs, respectively, in H1 2024. Cash costs per ounce were primarily impacted by the increasing gold price as there was a 12% higher realized gold price in Q2 2024, when compared to Q1 2024, which impacts the cost of the material purchased from CMPs.
Total all-in sustaining cost (AISC) per ounce in H1 2024 was $1,481 for the on-title business and was impacted by the same factors as the cash costs discussed above.
Third-party Purchased Material (off-title CMP)
Management considers the off-title CMP business at the Segovia Operations to be a distinct business unit due to its independent nature and incremental characteristics. The mill feed received from these parties is typically of very high grade (15 to 30 g/t Au) and uses less than 5% of Segovia's processing capacity. Consequently, the Company only incurs minimal incremental processing costs beyond the purchase cost of the material, allowing this supplemental mill feed to be a valuable contributor to cash flow.
In Q2 2024, the off-title business produced 46% more ounces than Q1 2024, due mostly to an increase in the average gold grade of the deliveries, which increased by 55% to 29 g/t in Q2 2024 over 19 g/t in Q1 2024. The increase in grade, and the 12% increase in gold price led to the increase in the purchasing and processing cost per ounce of the third-party material. Despite the increase in costs, the third-party business generated a margin of $3.8 million in Q2 2024 which compares to $3.4 million in Q1 2024.

Other costs
By-product and concentrate revenue credits were $5.2 million for H1 2024, compared to the $7.6 million recognized in the same period in 2023. The H1 2023 concentrate revenues were elevated as the polymetallic processing plant became operational in early Q4 2022, and the first shipment of lead and zinc concentrate took place in Q1 2023 and included accumulated production from the commissioning period.
Sustaining capital expenditures of $12.7 million at the Segovia Operations in H1 2024 included:
•$3.0 million for ongoing infill drilling and mine geology campaigns at the four operating mines;
•$8.4 million for ongoing mine development and underground equipment; and
•$1.3 million for plant and surface infrastructure improvements.
Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $27.3 million in H1 2024 included $7.1 million related to drilling completed under the strategic exploration program, $15.7 million related to non-sustaining mine development and equipment purchases, $1.8 million related to the expansion of the processing plant to 3,000 tonnes per day, $2.2 million on expanding the current tailings storage facility and $0.6 million for a new Human Resources Information System.
Outflows related to working capital movements are largely driven by the settlement of accounts payable outstanding on December 31, 2023, as well as the build-up VAT receivables during H1 2024 in accordance with the Colombian Tax Authorities practice of settling VAT refunds related to the preceding year in the second quarter of the current year.

Gold production for Q2 2024 decreased by 10% compared to the same period in 2023 to 5,511 ounces, driven by a 2% decrease in tonnes processed, a 5% reduction in grade and a 2% decrease in gold recovery rate.
Since commencing operations in Q2 2023, CMPs at Marmato delivered 4,746 tonnes of material at an average gold grade of 7.03 g/t. During H1 2024, the Company has continued to work closely with CMPs to establish a sustainable operating model to improve labour availability and efficiency, while increasing the plant feed grade with higher grade small-scale mining ore. The inclusion of this experienced workforce is expected to enhance the overall performance of the Upper Mine while expanding our commitment to building responsible and profitable partnerships with artisanal and small-scale miners in Colombia.
As the Company continues to invest in the modernization of the historic Upper Mine, non-sustaining capital investments during H1 2024 totaled $3.3 million compared to the $1.3 million spent in H1 2023. To support ongoing operations, sustaining capital spent for H1 2024 was $1.6 million, compared to $1.9 million spent over the same period in 2023.

Revenue increased by 7% and 9% for Q2 and H1 2024, respectively, over the same periods in 2023 as a result of stronger gold prices offset by fewer ounces sold period-over-period from lower planned production. For Q2 2024, gold ounces sold decreased by 9% to 49,469 and the average realized gold price per ounce increased by 18% to $2,308, compared to the 54,228 ounces sold at an average realized gold price per ounce of $1,959 in Q2 2023. For H1 2024, gold ounces sold decreased by 3% to 100,513 and the average realized gold price per ounce increased by 14% to $2,182, compared to the 103,386 ounces sold at an average realized gold price per ounce of $1,916 in H1 2023
The cost of sales for Q2 and H1 2024 increased by 22% and 27%, respectively, over the same periods in 2023. Compared to 2023, operating costs for Q2 and H1 2024 were negatively impacted by a combination of the inflationary environment in Colombia, the strengthening Colombian peso ("COP") and the impact of higher cost third-party material at Segovia (see Segovia Operations section for further details). Between June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the average COP exchange rate used for translation strengthened against the US dollar by 13%, adversely impacting the US dollar equivalent of peso denominated production input costs by $14.2 million for H1 2024 over H1 2023. Inflation in Colombia remained elevated well above the Colombian Central Bank's target rate of 3% during 2023 and up to the end of Q2 2024, peaking in June 2023 at 12% and retreating to 7% by June 2024.
Interest and accretion charges for Q2 and H1 2024 related primarily to interest expense for the Senior Notes (as defined herein), fees associated with financings and accretion of provisions. Interest and accretion charges decreased to $13.3 million in H1 2024 over the $15.6 million recorded in same period in 2023. The interest charges recorded in H1 2023 included amounts related to the note payable to MDC Industry Holding Company LLC (Mubadala) for the

initial 20% interest acquired in the Soto Norte Project. On settlement, the note payable amounted to $51.5 million (inclusive of accrued interest) and was settled at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
The foreign exchange loss recorded in the period presented above relate largely to movements of the COP against the US dollar. During H1 2023 the COP strengthened from USD1:COP4,810 on December 31, 2022 to USD1:COP4,191 on June 30, 2023, resulting in an adverse impact to earnings driven by USD denominated receivable balances during the period of strengthening. Conversely, during H1 2024 the COP weakened from USD1:COP3,822 on December 31, 2023 to USD1:COP4,148 on June 30, 2024 - resulting in a positive impact to earnings as USD denominated receivables balances are settled during the period of weakening.
The Company has a number of financial instruments which incur changes in fair value from quarter to quarter and are recognized at fair value through profit and loss. In Q2 2024, the Company recorded a net loss on financial instruments of $6.1 million compared with a net gain on financial instruments of $11.8 million in the same period in 2023.

Aris Mining's objective when managing liquidity and capital resources is to safeguard the Company's ability to support normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of our mineral properties and support the advancement of our expansions and large-scale development projects.
The Company had a working capital surplus of $110.5 million (being current assets less current liabilities) at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: $143.9 million) and sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its current operating and administration costs. Aris Mining currently generates sufficient cash flow from operations at the Segovia Operations to sustain ongoing operations. The Company is, however, in a growth phase as it progresses its expansion projects, including (1) the construction of the Lower Mine project, (2) various optimization and exploration activities continue at the Segovia Operations, (3) studies continue at Toroparu and (4) the funding of project development expenses of the Soto Norte Project during the pre-licensing period. The Company is in a strong financial position to fund growth projects based on cash flow from operations from the Segovia Operations, cash on hand and the remaining stream financing from WPMI. Working capital requirements of the Company are met through the cash flow generated by ongoing operations, with the surplus cash flow reinvested into expansionary capital projects. Key components of Aris Mining’s operating working capital at June 30, 2024 include:
•Cash and cash equivalents of $121.7 million, representing a 37% decrease from $194.6 million at the end of 2023.
Page | 14
Management's Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 | ||

•Current portion of long-term debt of $23.5 million, reflecting a decrease of $13.3 million from the $36.8 million of long-term debt at the end of 2023, representing principal and interest repayments on the $300 million Senior Notes and Gold Notes.
•Income tax payable of $15.6 million, representing an increase from $6.3 million payable at the end of 2023, largely as a result of the additional income tax expense of $19.3 million recorded in the six months ending June 30, 2024, offset by bi-monthly withholding tax credits from Colombian subsidiaries.
•Accounts receivable of $62.3 million, which increased by 27% from $49.3 million at the end of 2023, mostly related to the build-up of VAT receivables during the first six months of 2024, in accordance with the Colombian Tax Authorities practice of settling VAT refunds for the preceding year in the second quarter of the current year.
•Inventories of $44.8 million, which increased from $38.9 million at the end of 2023, driven primarily by the timing of production consumables delivered to both mining operations at the end of June 2024.
•Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $62.9 million, which decreased from $69.3 million at the end of 2023 as a result of the timing of supply deliveries around year end, as well as the timing of payments to larger suppliers.
•Other changes in working capital from normal operating activities included an increase in prepaid expenses and deposits of $0.8 million and a decrease in warrant liabilities of $10.5 million, reflecting the warrant exercises during the first six month of 2024.
The net decrease in cash at June 30, 2024 for H1 2024 was $73.0 million compared to a net decrease of $85.1 million for the same prior year period. The net decrease in cash is attributable to the continued investment in growth and expansionary projects, debt servicing and planned lower production:
•Aris Mining’s net cash inflows from operating activities were $11.0 million (H1 2023: inflow of $29.0 million). Operating cash inflows in H1 2024 were mainly lower due to a build up in non-cash operating working capital items of $40.7 million as discussed above and lower income from mining operations considering less comparative production and increased mining costs period-over-period.
•Investing activities resulted in net outflows of $85.4 million (H1 2023: outflows of $98.9 million), which were primarily driven by $75.8 million for sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures (H1 2023: $42.3 million). H1 2023 outflows included settlement of the $50.0 million note payable to Mubadala relating to the deferred consideration for the initial 20% interest acquired in the Soto Norte Project.
•Financing activities resulted in net inflows of $4.0 million (H1 2023: outflows of $17.9 million), related primarily to $24.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants partially offset by the payment of $10.6 million in interest on the $300 million Senior Notes and repayments related to the Gold Notes of $7.4 million.
Acquisition of Additional Interest in the Soto Norte Project
The Soto Norte gold-silver-copper project in Colombia is one of the world’s largest undeveloped underground gold projects with Tier 1 scale and economics. Aris Mining is the 51% majority owner and operator of PSN.
•On June 28, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 31% interest in the Soto Norte Project, increasing its total ownership to 51%.
•As consideration, the Company issued 15,750,000 common shares to Mubadala, representing an approximate 9.3% ownership stake as of June 30, 2024, and will issue an additional 6,000,000 common shares to Mubadala following receipt of an environmental license to develop PSN.
•The total consideration paid was allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets and the liabilities acquired as shown below:

Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management
The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.
a)Financial instrument risk
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
•Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
•Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash in trust, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The Senior Notes are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. An observable fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes have been assessed using the trading value of the bonds on the Singapore exchange which indicate a fair market value of $283.6 million.
Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL on a recurring basis include the warrant derivative liabilities, the DSU payable, PSU payable, the Convertible Debenture and Gold Notes which are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the statements of financial position at fair value are categorized as follows:
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 1 | Level 2 | |||||||||||
| Gold Notes | $ | — | $ | 61,482 | $ | — | $ | 63,310 | ||||||
| Warrant liabilities | 15,712 | 367 | 26,053 | 553 | ||||||||||
| DSU and PSU liabilities | 1,550 | 3,050 | 1,903 | 2,804 | ||||||||||
| Investments and other assets | 4,547 | 6,792 | 4,254 | 5,505 | ||||||||||
| Convertible Debentures | — | — | — | 13,913 | ||||||||||
| Total | $ | 21,809 | $ | 71,691 | $ | 32,210 | $ | 86,085 | ||||||
At June 30, 2024, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during the period.
b)Credit risk
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Trade | $ | 2,071 | $ | 3,505 | ||||
| VAT receivable | 56,005 | 40,045 | ||||||
| Income tax receivable | 3,461 | 4,503 | ||||||
| Other, net of allowance for doubtful accounts | 946 | 1,386 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 62,483 | $ | 49,439 | ||||
The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily arises from its cash balances (which are held with highly rated Canadian, Colombian and other international financial institutions) and accounts receivable. The timing of collection of the VAT recoverable is in accordance with Government of Colombia’s bi-monthly filing process. The timing of collection of HST recoverable is in accordance with Government of Canada quarterly filing process. As at June 30, 2024 the Company expects to recover the outstanding amount of current VAT and HST receivable in the next 12 months.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 | ||

Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable arises from the Company’s delivery of its production to international customers from whom it receives 97% - 99.5% of the sales proceeds in the case of gold and silver, and 90% of sales proceeds in the case of concentrates, shortly after delivery of its production to an agreed upon transfer point in Colombia. The balance is received within a short settlement period thereafter once final metal content has been agreed between the Company and the customer.
c)Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from:
•Translation of subsidiaries that have a functional currency, such as COP, which differ from the USD functional currency of the Company. The impact of such exposure is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).
•Translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such as the Canadian dollar (C$) and Guyanese dollar (GYD). The impact of such exposure is recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss).
The Company monitors its exposure to foreign currency risks arising from foreign currency balances and transactions. To reduce its foreign currency exposure associated with these balances and transactions, the Company may enter foreign currency derivatives to manage such risks. In 2024 and 2023, the Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.
The following table summarizes the Company’s current net financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos and Guyanese dollars (in US dollar equivalents) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as the effect on earnings and other comprehensive earnings after-tax of a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the foreign currencies against the US dollar on the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company, if all other variables remain constant:
| June 30, 2024 | Impact of a 10% Change | December 31, 2023 | Impact of a 10% Change | |||||||||||
| Canadian Dollar (C$) | (3,212) | (293) | (15,664) | (1,425) | ||||||||||
| Colombian Peso (COP) | 10,255 | 932 | 11,301 | 1,027 | ||||||||||
| Guyanese Dollar (GYD) | 119 | 10 | 100 | 9 | ||||||||||
d)Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Gold and silver prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may enter commodity hedging contracts from time to time to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in spot commodity prices.
The Company is required under the covenants of the Gold Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to put in place commodity hedging contracts (put options) on a rolling four-quarters basis to establish a minimum selling price of $1,400 per ounce for the physical gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account. Gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account will be sold to meet the Company’s financial obligations for the quarterly Amortizing Payments of the Gold Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, such hedging will not be required if one of the following conditions is met:
-the Company determines that any such hedging contracts are not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms; or
-the failure to obtain any such hedging contracts would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations to make the quarterly Amortizing Payments.
As at June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding commodity hedging contracts in place.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Aris Mining has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

1.Other purchase and contractual commitments include all contractual agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company, including expenditures required to comply with current mining and exploration license requirements.
Aris Mining’s current silver and gold production from the Marmato Mine and future production from the Toroparu Project are subject to the terms of the respective Wheaton Precious Metals International (WPMI) streaming agreements.
As part of the acquisition of the Soto Norte Project, Mubadala retained a streaming interest of 7.35% of payable gold and 100% of payable silver on the Soto Norte Project. The stream applies to incremental production after the first 5.7 million ounces of gold have been produced. Mubadala will make payments upon delivery equal to 15% of the spot gold and silver prices. In addition, subsequent to transaction, Aris Mining has the obligation to fund Mubadala's 49% share of certain operating costs until the earlier of the receipt of the environmental license for the Soto Norte Project or December 31, 2027.
Liquidity risk
Associated with the contractual obligations and commitments summarized above, the Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted cash flow requirements, as well as any requirements that arise by virtue of the financial instruments held by the Company. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to pay its obligations associated with its financial liabilities as at June 30, 2024.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in and potentially subject to legal actions and proceedings. The Company records provisions for such claims when considered material and an outflow of resources is considered probable.
The Company is subject to tax audits from various tax authorities on an ongoing basis. As a result, from time to time, tax authorities may disagree with the positions and conclusions taken by the Company in its tax filings or legislation could be amended or interpretations of current legislation could change, and any of these events could lead to reassessments. The Company records provisions for such claims when it determines it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept its filing position.
No such provisions have been recorded by the Company.

Over the trailing eight quarters of results, earnings from mine operations has remained in the $25 million to $40 million range, driven by gold sales of between 49,000 and 59,000 ounces per quarter. Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share fluctuated throughout the last eight quarters, and were significantly impacted by the revaluation of financial instruments between periods, acquisition and restructuring costs, and gains and losses from fair value charges to investments related to acquisitions and divestments.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified a non-material error in the fair value of the listed warrant liability previously reported as at December 31, 2022. As a result of these adjustments, there was a reduction in net income of $5.5 million ($0.06 per share, basic and $0.05 per share diluted) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a reduction in net income of $1.0 million ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in net income of $1.6 million ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and an increase in net income of $1.4 million ($0.01 per share basic and diluted) in the three months ended September 30, 2023. The counter adjustment to each of the above recast adjustments was made on the statement of financial position to the warrant liability.
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. For further information on our significant judgements and accounting estimates, refer to note 4 of our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The significant judgments, estimates and assumptions made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, in addition to the following:
Asset Acquisition - The Soto Norte Project
The assessment of whether an acquisition of assets and liabilities meets the definition of a business or whether it is an acquisition of assets requires judgment. In this assessment, management considers whether the acquired set of assets and activities consists of inputs and a substantive process and whether these inputs and substantive processes have
Page | 19
Management's Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 | ||

the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs. Management concluded that the Soto Norte Project did not constitute a business and accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Soto Norte Project
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an asset acquisition requires management to make estimates and assumptions, giving consideration to both market and income-based valuation methodologies to determine the fair value of the exploration project to be recognized. In the case of an asset acquisition, the measurement of common shares and contingently issuable common shares paid as consideration for the acquisition is also determined with reference to the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Determination of Control or Significant Influence in the Soto Norte Project
The Soto Norte Transaction resulted in the Company obtaining a 51% interest in the Soto Norte Project. Judgment is required to determine whether the Company controls or has significant influence over the Soto Norte Project, which impacts the accounting treatment to consolidate or account for the investment using the equity method, respectively. The assessment required judgment related to factors including, but not limited to, the relevant activities of the Soto Norte Project, and the substantive rights of the shareholders to approve, amongst other things, operating policies, budgets, and financing plans. The Company determined that it had obtained control over Soto Norte as of June 28, 2024.
Changes in accounting policy
Aris Mining’s Q2 2024 Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, under IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and were approved by the Company’s board of directors on August 13, 2024. These financial statements were prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and methods of computation as outlined in Note 3, Material accounting policies in Aris Mining’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Aris Mining's Q2 2024 Financial Statements do not include all of the notes required in the annual financial statements.
New accounting standards issued
IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements that clarifies that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current depends on the rights existing at the end of the reporting period as opposed to the expectations of exercising the right for settlement of the liability. The amendments were effective January 1, 2024 and have been applied retrospectively. Under existing IAS 1 requirements, companies classify a liability as current when they do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The IASB has removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead now requires that a right to defer settlement must exist at the reporting date and have substance. The amendments therefore resulted in a change in the classification of liabilities that can be settled in an entity's own shares. Previously, counterparty conversion options were not considered when classifying the related liabilities as current or non-current. Subsequent to the application of the amendments, when a liability includes a counterparty conversion option that may be settled by a transfer of an entity's own shares, the Company takes into account the conversion option in classifying the liability as current or non-current. The Company's convertible debentures and warrant liabilities were impacted by the amendments.
Previously, the Company's convertible debentures were recorded as long-term debt and were classified as current when the instrument was maturing within 12 months after the reporting period. However, given the holders of the debenture have the option from issuance to maturity to convert the principal into common shares of the Company, the related liability is classified as current as at January 1, 2023 under the revised policy because the conversion option can be exercised by the holders within 12 months after the reporting period. Similarly, the Company's warrant liabilities were previously classified as non-current and warrants expiring within 12 months after the reporting period were classified as current. Under the revised policy, the warrant liabilities are classified as current as at January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 because the warrants can be exercised by the holders at any time subsequent to issuance.
As a result of the adoption of the IAS 1 amendments, the statement of financial position as at January 1, 2023 has been restated, with a reclassification of $13.2 million from non-current portion of long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt, and a reclassification of $21.8 million from non-current portion of warrant liabilities to current portion
Page | 20
Management's Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 | ||

of warrant liabilities. The statement of financial position as at December 31, 2023 has also been restated, with a reclassification of $11.0 million from non-current portion of warrant liabilities to current portion of warrant liabilities.
There was no impact on the statement of income (loss), statement of other comprehensive income (loss), statement of equity, and statement of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Adopted accounting policies not previously disclosed
The following previously adopted accounting policies not disclosed in the annual financial statements were applied in preparing the interim financial statements.
Non-Controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents equity interests in subsidiaries owned by outside parties. The share of net assets of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. The non-controlling interest is allocated a share of net income and other comprehensive income, which is recognized directly in equity even if the results of the non-controlling interest have a deficit balance.
The Company recognizes transactions with non-controlling interest as transactions with equity shareholders. Changes in the Company's ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
The Company has elected an accounting policy to measure the non-controlling interest in an acquisition of assets that does not constitute a business at either the fair value of the non-controlling interest or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the net assets recognized. The Company measured the non-controlling interest in the Soto Norte Project at the date the Company acquired control based on the proportionate share of the entity's recognized net assets.
Measurement of previously held interest in an asset acquisition
In an acquisition of assets that does not constitute a business, the previously held interest forms a part of the consideration paid for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the time control of the assets and liabilities is obtained. The Company has elected an accounting policy not to remeasure the carrying amount of previously held investments in associates on acquisition of additional interests that do not constitute a business.
Risks and Uncertainties
Exploration, development and mining of precious metals involves numerous inherent risks. As such, Aris Mining is subject to financial, operational and political risks that could have a significant impact on its profitability and levels of operating cash flows. Although Aris Mining assesses and minimizes these risks by applying high operating standards, including careful management and planning of its facilities, hiring qualified personnel and developing their skills through training and development programs, these risks cannot be eliminated.
Readers are encouraged to read and consider the risk factors which are more specifically described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's AIF for the year ended December 31, 2023 dated as of March 6, 2024, which is available on www.aris-mining.com, under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and in its filings with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company is currently aware or which it considers to be material in relation to the Company's business actually occur, the Company's assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects, are likely to be materially and adversely affected. In such circumstances, prices of the Company's securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. In addition, such risk factors could cause actual amounts to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements related to the Company.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document refers to a number of non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, which are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios described below do not have standardized meanings under IFRS, may differ from those used by other issuers, and may not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios reported by other issuers. These financial measures and ratios have been derived from our financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. We disclose these financial measures and ratios because we believe they assist readers in understanding the results of our operations and financial position and provide further information about our financial results to investors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Total cash costs
Total cash costs and total cash costs per oz sold are a non-GAAP financial measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Total cash costs per oz sold are calculated by dividing total cash costs by volume of gold ounces sold. Aris Mining believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as cost of sales, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate operating income and cash flow from its mining operations. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Management has included a secondary total cash cost and total cash cost per ounce measure, that includes the cost of royalties incurred on precious metal shipments from its Segovia Operations. This measure adds back the cost of royalties to total cash cost and is intended to be reflective of the total cash cost associated with operating in Colombia. Adoption of the World Gold Standard methodology is voluntary and other companies may quantify this measure differently because of different underlying principles and policies applied.

All-in sustaining costs
AISC and AISC ($ per oz sold) are a non-GAAP financial measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. AISC ($ per oz sold) is calculated by dividing AISC by volume of gold ounces sold. The methodology for calculating AISC was developed internally and is calculated below, and readers should be aware that this measure does not have a standardized meaning. This non‐GAAP measure provides investors with transparency to the total period‐attributable AISC of producing an ounce of gold and may aid in the comparison with other gold mining peers. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are a non-GAAP financial measure and non-GAAP ratios, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings by the number of shares outstanding on a basic basis, respectively.
Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.
Adjusted net earnings is defined as net income adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, foreign exchange gains, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted net earnings per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic basis as determined under IFRS. In the table below the Company has provided the reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. EBITDA represents earnings before interest (including non-cash accretion of financial obligations and lease obligations), income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization.
EBITDA is then adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and losses on deferred and current income taxes, and other non-recurring items (Adjusted EBITDA).

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Internal controls over financial reporting
Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate and recorded, processed, summarized and reported to allow timely decisions with respect to required disclosure, including in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation.
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in internal controls
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations of controls and procedures
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
