Aris Mining stock (ISIN CA04040Y1097) was last at CAD 24.95 on the TSX at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 2, 2026, up 1.46 percent from CAD 24.59. The quote stood 20.7 percent below the 52-week high of CAD 31.47, giving the recent company update a market context.

Soto Norte reaches a new stage

According to Aris Mining on September 30, 2026, preparation of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the Soto Norte gold-copper project is complete. Community meetings in Matanza, Suratá and California are scheduled for October before the assessment is finalized for submission with an environmental license application.

The project has 4.6 million ounces of gold reserves at a 7.0 grams-per-tonne average grade and an initial 22-year mine life, according to Investing.com on September 30, 2026.

Capacity creates the growth case

The planned processing facility has capacity of 3,500 tonnes per day, including 750 tonnes per day for material from local miners. The design also targets concentrate production without cyanide or mercury, while owner-mined output is projected at 203,000 ounces of gold per year across years 1 to 21, based on the company release dated September 30, 2026.

Aris Mining's current operating base adds another comparison point. Segovia and Marmato produced 257,000 ounces of gold in 2025, while expansion plans target 500,000 ounces of annual production after ramp-up, according to Aris Mining on September 9, 2026.

Stock remains below yearly high

Aris Mining's market capitalization was CAD 5.1 billion and trading volume was 467,948 shares on October 2, 2026. The TSX quote ranged from CAD 12.25 to CAD 31.47 over the prior 52 weeks, placing the latest price closer to the middle of that span than to its upper boundary.

For investors, Soto Norte adds a long-duration development option, but the project still depends on environmental licensing before construction and mining can begin. The October community process is therefore the next concrete step for the project timeline.
