All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Aris Mining CEO Neil Woodyer stated: "Aris Mining combines free cash flow generation from current operations with attractive large-scale development projects with long mine lives and growth potential from exploration upside. During 2022, our business generated $51 million of free cash flow from current operations that substantially funded $73 million in long-term growth investments. Aris Mining's near-term growth projects include the construction of the Marmato Lower Mine, the Soto Norte gold-copper project undergoing permitting and licencing, and the Toroparu project in Guyana, where we are progressing additional studies to update, fully-define and optimize the development plan.

Looking forward, we expect to produce between 230,000 and 270,000 ounces of gold at an AISC1 of between $1,050 to $1,150 per ounce during 2023.
