Aris Mining is a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company’s registered and records office is 2900-550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3.
Business Overview
Aris Mining is a Canadian gold mining company focused on South America. The Company operates the Segovia and Marmato underground gold mines in Colombia, which together produced approximately 257,000 ounces of gold in 2025. Aris Mining is listed on the TSX and NYSE under the symbol ARIS.
The Company is advancing expansion projects at Segovia and Marmato that are expected to increase gold production to approximately 500,000 ounces per year, driven by the ramp-up at Segovia following the installation of the second mill, which was completed in June 2025, and construction of the new Marmato bulk mine and Carbon-In-Pulp (CIP) plant, with first gold expected in Q4 20261.
Aris Mining’s portfolio supports a longer-term objective of approximately 1 million ounces of annual gold production2. Key projects include the high-grade Soto Norte gold project in Colombia and the Toroparu gold project in Guyana, where a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) is in progress and a construction decision is expected in early 2027.
Additional information is available at www.aris-mining.com, www.sedarplus.ca, and on www.sec.gov.
1 Reflects expected steady-state annual gold production run-rates of approximately 300koz at Segovia and 200koz at Marmato following completion and ramp-up of the respective expansion projects. For more information, please refer to the Company’s news releases dated June 30, 2025 regarding the Segovia expansion and March 12, 2025 regarding the Marmato expansion.
2 Includes potential production estimates from Toroparu, which is based on a preliminary economic assessment effective October 21, 2025, which contemplates a 7.0 Mtpa operation over a 21.3-year mine life with average annual gold production of approximately 235 koz at a base case gold price of US$3,000/oz. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There can be no assurance that the projected production will be achieved. In the case of Soto Norte and Toroparu, such production also remains subject to obtaining all necessary permits and to formal construction decisions by the Company.

Highlights | Key Performance Indicators
During Q2 2026, Aris Mining delivered consistent gold production and strong financial performance while significantly increasing investment in its operating mines and growth projects. Although realized gold prices and gold sales volumes were lower than in Q1 2026, the Company continued to generate substantial cash from operations and maintained a strong financial position. At June 30, 2026 Aris Mining held cash and cash equivalents of $425.6 million.
During the first half of 2026, operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid totaled $170.1 million. The Company invested $166.3 million in growth and expansion capital, primarily to advance the Marmato expansion and increase underground mining and haulage capacity at Segovia. These investments are intended to support near-term production growth while advancing Soto Norte and Toroparu as longer-term development opportunities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (all figures are expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated) | ||
Q2 2026 Financial Highlights
•Gold revenue remained strong at $321 million, supported by 72,124 ounces of gold sold at an average realized gold price of $4,450 per ounce. Compared with Q1 2026, gold revenue reflected a 4% decrease in gold ounces sold and an 8% decrease in realized gold prices.
•EBITDA was $163 million as compared to $182 million in Q1 2026, reflecting continued strong operating performance despite lower realized gold prices during the quarter.
•Adjusted EBITDA was $179 million, compared to $212 million in Q1 2026, after normalizing for non-cash and non-recurring items. On a trailing 12-month basis, Adjusted EBITDA reached $690 million, demonstrating the Company's strong profitability, cash flow generation and leverage to gold prices.
•Net earnings were $94 million, from $98 million in Q1 2026. Results for Q2 2026 include $167 million in income from mining operations, down from $204 million in Q1 2026.
•Adjusted net earnings of $96 million or $0.47 per share, demonstrating continued strong profitability compared with $124 million or $0.60 per share in Q1 2026.
•Cash and cash equivalents increased to $426 million at June 30, 2026, up from $392 million at December 31, 2025, while the Company continued to invest significantly in its growth projects. The increase primarily reflects:
◦$170 million of operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid;
◦$40 million installment received under Marmato's precious metals stream following achievement of the 50% construction capital expenditures milestone;
◦$36 million inflow from other working capital movements, proceeds from stock options and finance income;
◦$46 million of debt repayment and servicing; and
◦$166 million invested in growth and expansion capital.
•Net debt was reduced to $44 million, down from $86 million at December 31, 2025, further strengthening the Company's financial position.
Q2 2026 Operational Highlights
•Gold production totaled 73,710 ounces, consistent with the 74,339 ounces produced in Q1 2026.
•Segovia
◦Produced 64,424 ounces in Q2 2026, a 3% decrease over Q1 2026, reflecting the processing of 202,480 tonnes at an average gold grade of 10.23 g/t, compared to 175,370 tonnes at 12.41 g/t in Q1 2026. Gold recoveries were 95.7%, compared to 95.3% in Q1 2026.
◦AISC margin decreased to $157 million, down 21% from Q1 2026, reflecting lower realized gold prices and slightly lower gold sales volumes.
◦Owner-operated mining (Owner Mining) comprised 67% of the mill feed, consistent with Q1 2026. AISC was $1,767 per ounce, compared to $1,492 per ounce in Q1 2026, primarily reflecting lower Owner Mining ounces sold, together with higher owner mining sustaining capital as the Company increased investment in underground development to support higher mining capacity. H1 2026 Owner Mining AISC was $1,623, below the full-year 2026 guidance range of $1,700 to $1,800 per ounce.
◦Contract Mining Partner (CMP) sourced gold comprised 33% of the mill feed and generated an AISC sales margin of 46%, bringing H1 2026 CMP AISC sales margin to 43%, above the top end of the full-year 2026 guidance range of 35% to 40%.
◦Combined AISC of $1,986 per ounce, compared to $1,963 per ounce in Q1 2026, reflecting the increase in Owner Mining AISC described above, partially offset by lower CMP AISC due to the decrease in the average realized gold price.
◦Total investment at Segovia, including sustaining and non-sustaining capital, increased to $31 million in Q2 2026, from $17 million in Q1 2026. This investment is advancing the development work required to increase mining rates and improve haulage efficiency, including new ramps and a main underground haulage circuit connecting the El Silencio, Providencia and Sandra K mines.

•Marmato
◦Produced 9,286 ounces, a 19% increase over Q1 2026, reflecting the processing of 84,610 tonnes at an average gold grade of 3.79 g/t, compared to 77,040 tonnes at 3.53 g/t in Q1 2026.
◦Production in Q2 2026 continued to reflect the operating capacity of the existing flotation plant, with mill feed sourced primarily from ore development and stopes in the Bulk Mining Zone and from CMPs operating in the Narrow Vein Zone. Throughput is expected to increase materially following commissioning of the new CIP plant, with first gold expected in Q4 2026.
Project Development Highlights
•Marmato expansion advancing toward commissioning and first gold
◦Construction of the new 5,000 tpd design-capacity CIP plant remains on schedule for first gold in Q4 2026.
◦The SAG and ball mills are now on site and mechanical installation is underway.
◦The Bulk Mining Zone is prepared to support the initial ramp-up of the new CIP plant. The underground connection completed earlier this year established direct access between the Bulk Mining Zone and the new CIP plant area, improving access, ventilation and haulage, and supporting the planned production ramp-up.
◦During Q2 2026, the Company invested $64 million towards the construction of the Marmato expansion project. Including underground development and ancillary growth projects, total non-sustaining investment at Marmato was $76 million in Q2 2026.
◦As at July 1, 2026, the estimated capital required to achieve first gold from the Marmato CIP plant in Q4 2026 is approximately $118 million. After the final $42 million installment from Wheaton Precious Metals expected in Q3 2026, the net funding requirement of approximately $76 million will be funded from the Company’s cash balance and operating cash flow.
•Toroparu Project progressing toward a potential early 2027 construction decision
◦The PFS remains on schedule for completion in H2 2026, supporting a construction decision targeted for early 2027.
◦Project optimization work in support of the PFS includes updated mine scheduling, engineering studies and other activities to advance construction readiness.
◦Pre-construction activities underway, including construction of the Puruni River bridge, camp expansion, road improvements and other site infrastructure.
◦The project team has grown to 100 employees in Guyana, with several key leadership appointments made during the quarter to support project development and execution.
◦Aris Mining continues active engagement with the Government of Guyana and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission to obtain the mining license and keep stakeholders informed of project progress.
◦Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) completed in October 2025, outlining an attractive project with after-tax NPV5% of $1.8 billion, IRR of 25.2%, and 3.0-year payback at $3,000/oz gold3.
◦During Q2 2026, capital expenditures totaled $6 million at Toroparu.
•Soto Norte Project nearing completion of environmental studies and environmental license application preparation
◦The project incorporates industry-leading environmental and social design features, including a metallurgical process free of cyanide and mercury, together with a CMP program that allocates approximately 750 tpd of processing capacity to local miners, over 20% of Soto Norte’s 3,500 tpd processing capacity.
◦The environmental studies and the preparation of the environmental license application are nearing completion.
◦PFS completed in September 2025, demonstrating robust economics with an after-tax NPV5% of $2.7 billion, IRR of 35%, and 2.3-year payback at $2,600/oz gold. Strong leverage to higher gold prices, at $3,000/oz the NPV5% increases to $3.3 billion with IRR of 40%.
◦During Q2 2026, capital expenditures totaled $6 million at Soto Norte.
3Based on a preliminary economic assessment effective October 21, 2025, which contemplates a 7.0 Mtpa operation over a 21.3-year mine life with average annual gold production of approximately 235koz at a base case gold price of US$3,000/oz. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Operating Performance | Segovia
Segovia is 100% owned by the Company and is located in a historic mining district of Colombia. Approximately 60% of the gold sold in 2025 was produced from Owner Mining while the balance of approximately 40% was produced by processing mill feed purchased from CMPs, which was sourced from both within and outside of the Company’s mining titles. The operations include four underground mines and two processing facilities:
•A conventional processing facility, that produces doré and was expanded from 2,000 to 3,000 tpd in June 2025, with ramp-up continuing to advance.
•A 200 tpd polymetallic processing plant that recovers lead and zinc concentrates, including gold and silver from tailings.

All-In Sustaining Costs and Margin
Q2 2026 compared to Q1 2026
AISC at Segovia, including both Owner Mining and CMPs, averaged $1,986 per ounce in Q2 2026, a slight increase from $1,963 per ounce in Q1 2026.
•Owner Mining: AISC increased to $1,767 per ounce from $1,492 per ounce in Q1 2026, primarily reflecting lower gold ounces sold (41,520 ounces compared to 45,789 ounces), together with higher sustaining capital expenditures. Owner Mining AISC margin decreased to $112.9 million from $155.9 million in Q1 2026.
•CMPs: AISC averaged $2,415 per ounce, compared to $2,948 per ounce in Q1 2026, reflecting lower mill feed purchase costs consistent with the decline in gold prices during the quarter. CMP AISC margin was $44.2 million, compared to $42.7 million in Q1 2026.
Combined AISC margin was $157.1 million, down 21% from $198.7 million in Q1 2026, reflecting lower realized gold prices and lower gold ounces sold.

Q2 2026 compared to Q1 2026
Operating Variances
Revenue decreased $42.3 million, or 11%, to $330.2 million in Q2 2026 from $372.5 million in Q1 2026, primarily driven by the average realized gold price, which decreased 8% to $4,450 per ounce from $4,861 per ounce. Lower gold ounces sold contributed a further $13.2 million to the quarterly decline.
Cost of sales and social contributions decreased $6.7 million, or 4%, to $145.8 million in Q2 2026 from $152.5 million in Q1 2026, primarily reflecting the lower cost of CMP mill feed purchases at Segovia ($11.6 million) and lower social contributions ($4.2 million) which were both driven by lower gold prices. This was partially offset by higher mining and processing costs at Segovia and Marmato due to an increase in tonnes mined and processed at both operations, together with a 2% appreciation of the COP against the U.S. dollar during the quarter.

Corporate Variances
The Company recognized a share-based compensation recovery of $0.8 million in Q2 2026 compared to an expense of $7.6 million in Q1 2026. Cash-settled performance share units (PSUs) and deferred share units (DSUs) are fair valued based on the Company's share price. Q2 2026 reflected a lower revaluation expense due to a lower share price appreciation than in the prior quarter.
Non-operating Variances
In Q2 2026, the Company recognized a gain on the fair valuation of the Cboe Canada listed Gold Linked Notes (Gold Notes) of $26.2 million compared to a loss of $8.5 million in the prior quarter. The revaluation gain in Q2 2026 primarily related to the decrease in gold price. The valuation of the Gold Notes incorporates credit spreads, risk-free rates, volatility, and gold future prices.
Foreign exchange loss in Q2 2026 was $28.3 million unfavorable compared to Q1 2026, primarily due to the continued appreciation of the COP against the USD during the quarter, which resulted in higher translation losses on USD-denominated monetary balances held in COP-functional entities.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense decreased $16.7 million compared to Q1 2026, primarily reflecting lower taxable income from mining operations driven by lower realized gold prices and slightly lower gold ounces sold.
Q2 2026 compared to Q2 2025
Operating Variances
Revenue increased $126.8 million, or 62%, to $330.2 million in Q2 2026 from $203.5 million in Q2 2025, driven by a 36% increase in the average realized gold price, contributing $84.3 million, combined with an 18% increase in gold ounces sold, which contributed a further $36.4 million. By-product revenue also increased $6.1 million, reflecting increased volumes and stronger metal prices.
Cost of sales and social contributions increased $46.3 million, or 47%, to $145.8 million in Q2 2026 from $99.5 million in Q2 2025, primarily reflecting higher mining and processing costs at Segovia and Marmato due to an increase in tonnes mined and processed at both operations, together with a 14% appreciation of the COP against the U.S. dollar during the period, and higher gold-price-linked CMP mill feed purchases at Segovia ($9.8 million). Royalties across both operations increased $7.1 million in line with higher realized gold prices and sales volumes, and social contributions increased $3.5 million in line with higher realized gold prices and gold sales volumes.
Corporate Variances
The Company recognized a share-based compensation recovery of $0.8 million in Q2 2026 compared to an expense of $8.1 million in Q2 2025. As described above, Q2 2026 reflected a lower revaluation expense for PSUs and DSUs due to a lower share price appreciation than in the prior year quarter.
Non-operating Variances
The fair-value-loss relating to the listed Warrants in Q2 2025 had no corresponding impact in Q2 2026 following the exercise and expiry of all outstanding ARIS.WT.A Listed Warrants on July 29, 2025. The warrants were classified as a financial liability and marked to market through profit and loss, with the valuation driven primarily by changes in the Company’s share price.
In Q2 2026, the Company recognized a gain on the fair valuation of the Gold Notes of $26.2 million compared to a loss of $6.3 million in the prior year quarter. As described above, the revaluation gain in Q2 2026 primarily related to the decrease in gold price.
Foreign exchange loss in Q2 2026 was $32.7 million unfavorable compared to Q2 2025, primarily due to the continued appreciation of the COP against the USD, which strengthened approximately 14% during the quarter, resulting in higher translation losses on USD-denominated monetary balances held in COP-functional entities.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased $18.1 million compared to Q2 2025, primarily reflecting higher taxable income from mining operations driven by higher realized gold prices and increased gold ounces sold at both Segovia and Marmato.

H1 2026 compared to H1 2025
Operating Variances
Revenue increased $341.7 million, or 95%, to $702.7 million in 2026 from $361.0 million in 2025, driven by a 52% increase in the average realized gold price, contributing $233.1 million, combined with a 27% increase in gold ounces sold, contributing $97.3 million. By-product and concentrate revenue also increased $11.3 million, reflecting the same increased volumes and stronger metal prices noted above.
Cost of sales and social contributions increased $112.0 million, or 60%, to $298.3 million in 2026 from $186.3 million in 2025, primarily reflecting higher mining and processing costs at Segovia and Marmato due to an increase in tonnes mined and processed at both operations, together with a 13% appreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar during the period, and higher gold-price-linked CMP mill feed purchases at Segovia ($33.7 million). Royalties and social contributions across both operations increased $15.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, in line with higher realized gold prices and sales volumes.
Depreciation and depletion in 2026 were $10.9 million higher than in 2025, primarily due to a 31% increase in gold production as the expense reflects the units-of-production depletion method applied across operations as well as a higher depletable cost base following continued sustaining capital investment and the commissioning of the second mill at Segovia in June 2025.
Corporate Variances
Share-based compensation expense decreased $5.1 million compared to H1 2025, primarily due to the revaluation of outstanding PSUs and DSUs reflecting the Company's strong share price performance during 2025.
Non-operating Variances
The fair-value-loss relating to the listed Warrants in 2025 had no corresponding impact in 2026 following the exercise and expiry of all outstanding ARIS.WT.A Listed Warrants on July 29, 2025. The warrants were classified as a financial liability and marked to market through profit and loss, with the valuation driven primarily by changes in the Company’s share price.
In H1 2026, the Company recognized a gain on the fair valuation of the Gold Notes of $17.7 million compared to a loss of $11.4 million in the prior year. The revaluation gain in 2026 primarily related to the decrease in gold price.
Foreign exchange loss in H1 2026 was $51.5 million, which was unfavorable compared to H1 2025, primarily due to the continued appreciation of the COP against the USD, which strengthened 13% in the current year, resulting in higher translation losses on USD-denominated monetary balances held in COP-functional entities.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense for H1 2026 increased by $64.2 million compared to H1 2025, reflecting higher taxable income due to higher income from mining operations.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital
The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, and with the combination of operating cash flows from Segovia, Marmato, and the remaining $42.0 million milestone payment from Wheaton Precious Metals International (WPMI), the Company expects to have sufficient cash available to fund operating activities, expansion projects, and strategic initiatives, including the advancement of the Marmato expansion, and study work at Soto Norte and Toroparu.
As at June 30, 2026, the Company held a working capital surplus, calculated as current assets minus current liabilities, of $267.7 million (December 31, 2025 - $232.2 million) which was underpinned by a cash balance of $425.6 million which increased by $33.7 million in 2026. The increase primarily reflects strong operating cash flow, $40.0 million installment received under Marmato's precious metals stream financing following achievement of the 50% construction capital expenditure milestone, partially offset by continued investment in growth projects. Notably, the Company advanced construction of the new CIP processing facility at Marmato, and made debt service payments including scheduled interest on its Senior Notes as well as interest and premiums on its Gold Notes.

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.
The Company may at times hold financial instruments, derivatives and/or contracts containing embedded derivatives that are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Financial liabilities classified or designated at fair value through profit or loss, including the Gold Notes, are measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss, except for changes attributable to the Company’s own credit risk, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Aris Mining Holdings Corp. (Aris Holdings), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has Gold Notes that trade on the Cboe Canada under the symbol “AMNG.NT.U” as described in note 11 of the 2025 annual financial statements. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal value is $19.6 million. The Gold Notes bear interest at 7.5% per annum, payable monthly. In addition to the interest, the Gold Notes pay a gold premium calculated each quarter as the amount by which the London Bullion Market Association Gold Price on the measurement date exceeds the floor price of $1,400. The Company has not entered into any instruments to hedge against the market movement of gold, and there is risk that rising gold prices would result in higher premiums to be paid. However, there is a natural hedge to this risk as rising gold prices result in higher cash flows from increased AISC margins that are available to fund the potential exposure.
Further information about our financial instruments, derivatives and contracts containing embedded derivatives and associated risks is outlined in note 17 in our 2025 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

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 there will be a tax liability associated with its filing position.
Outstanding Share Data
As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has 206.4 million common shares issued and outstanding and 4.1 million common shares issuable under stock options. A further 6 million common shares are issuable to Mubadala following receipt of an environmental license to develop Soto Norte.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This MD&A 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. 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. The Company discloses these financial measures and ratios because the Company believes that 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 and All-in sustaining costs
Total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce 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 ounce 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 cash flow from its mining operations. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. This measure is intended to be reflective of the total cash cost associated with operating in Colombia.
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 greater transparency regarding the total period cost of producing an ounce of gold and may assist in comparisons 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.

Free cash flow
Operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid and free cash flow after growth and expansion capital are non-GAAP financial measures and are common performance metrics in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring or non-operating items, less sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining lease payments. Free cash flow after growth and expansion capital is calculated as operating free cash flow after sustaining capital and taxes paid less growth and expansion capital expenditures.
Aris Mining believes that these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s ability to generate cash from its mining operations after maintaining its asset base, and its capacity to fund growth initiatives, reduce debt, strengthen liquidity, or return capital to shareholders. Management uses these measures as key internal indicators of financial performance and capital discipline. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, including net cash provided by operating activities as reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

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.
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, 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.

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 other non-recurring items (Adjusted EBITDA). In the table below the Company has provided the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements.

Accounting Matters
Basis for preparation and accounting policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Details of the material accounting policies for significant (or potentially significant) areas that have had an impact (or may have an impact in future periods) on the Company’s financial statements are disclosed in note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
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, 2025 dated as of March 11, 2026, 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 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 from those described in the forward-looking statements related to the Company.
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 regarding required disclosure, including in its annual filings, interim filings, or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation.
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in internal controls
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, 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 is also 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.
