Current Operations and Future Goals
Aris Mining currently operates two underground gold mines in Colombia—the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Complex. In their last reported production year, these mines produced a total of 210,955 ounces of gold. As the company looks to the future, ambitious expansion plans aim to boost annual production to over 500,000 ounces of gold. This goal will be facilitated by the recent completion of a second mill at Segovia, with further expansion efforts at the Marmato Complex expected to ramp up shortly.
Additionally, Aris Mining has a 51% stake in the Soto Norte joint venture, where a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) indicates robust economic potential. Plans for a smaller-scale development are underway, showcasing Aris Mining’s strategic focus on sustaining long-term growth while adhering to top-tier environmental and social design standards.
Aligning with Community Interests
Recognizing Colombia's rich endowment of high-grade gold deposits, Aris Mining is actively seeking partnerships with the small-scale mining sector in the region. These partnerships position the company to foster safe, legal, and environmentally responsible mining practices that not only support local communities but also align with broader industry standards.
