Aris Mining guides 2026 gold output to up to 350 000 oz
Canada-listed Aris Mining expects gold production to increase in 2026 to between 300 000 oz and 350 000 oz, as output rises at its Colombian operations and a new processing plant comes on line.
The guidance follows a strong 2025 in which the company produced 256 503 oz of gold, exceeding the midpoint of its guidance range of 230 000 oz to 275 000 oz and marking a 22% increase on 2024 output.
For 2026, production is expected to be weighted towards the second half of the year as growth projects advance.
At the Segovia operations in Colombia, output is forecast to increase to between 265 000 oz and 300 000 oz, compared with 227 762 oz in 2025. The increase will be supported by higher mill feed from both owner-operated mining and contract mining partners.
Production at the Marmato mine is expected to rise to between 35 000 oz and 50 000 oz in 2026, up from 28 741 oz in the previous year. Output will be back-end weighted as the new carbon-in-pulp (CIP) processing plant is commissioned, with first gold expected in the fourth quarter.
Chairperson and CEO Neil Woodyer said the company entered the year in a strong financial position following record results in 2025.
“During 2025, our operations generated $322-million of cash flow after sustaining capital and income taxes, fully funding our growth and expansion initiatives. After these investments, we generated $127-million in net cash flow, demonstrating the strong underlying cash generation of the business.”
He added that the ramp-up of a second mill at Segovia supported record financial results during the year, while development at Marmato’s bulk mining zone was ahead of schedule as the company advanced construction of the new processing facility.
Beyond its producing assets, Aris is also advancing longer-term growth projects, including the Soto Norte project in Colombia and the Toroparu project in Guyana.
