Aris Mining Charts Ambitious Growth Trajectory with New Production Targets

Aris Mining sets 2026 gold production target of 300k-350k oz, driven by Segovia and new Marmato plant. Shares rise 7.6% as strategy shifts to execution.

Following a record-breaking performance in 2025, Aris Mining is accelerating its strategic plans. The gold producer has outlined fresh operational goals for the current fiscal year, providing a clearer roadmap toward its objective of reaching an annual output of one million ounces. A significant operational boost is anticipated in the latter half of 2026, driven by key project milestones.

Market Confidence and Strategic Shift

Investors responded positively to the detailed plans, with the company's shares advancing 7.58% to €17.31. This market movement reflects growing confidence in Aris Mining's evolution from an acquisition-focused entity to an operator with a sharpened focus on production growth and project execution.

2026 Operational Framework and Key Assets

For the full year 2026, Aris Mining is targeting consolidated gold production in a range of 300,000 to 350,000 ounces. This continues an established growth trend, building on the prior year's record revenue of $909 million. The company's Segovia operations in Colombia remain the cornerstone of its output, projected to contribute up to 300,000 ounces on their own.

A major near-term catalyst is the completion of the new processing plant at the Marmato site. The first gold pour there is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. This facility represents a pivotal shift from construction to active capacity expansion and is expected to substantially increase processing throughput.

Advancing Long-Term Development Projects

Alongside its core operations, management is progressing several long-term expansion projects. In Colombia, preparations are underway to submit the environmental license application for the Soto Norte project, with filing expected in the second quarter of 2026. Meanwhile, in Guyana, a pre-feasibility study for the Toroparu project is nearing completion.

These initiatives are fundamental components of the long-term strategy to scale annual production to the one-million-ounce mark. The upcoming Annual General Meeting in Vancouver on May 7, 2026, will provide a forum for shareholders to review this strategic direction and the integration of the core Colombian mines with the broader regional development portfolio. In the interim, market attention is likely to remain fixed on the progress of environmental studies for the Soto Norte project.
