Aris Mining reported strong top-line results for the third quarter of 2026, with revenue significantly exceeding analyst expectations due to high realized gold prices averaging $4,205 per ounce. While gold production of 69,257 ounces was slightly lower year-over-year, the company's financial performance was bolstered by a 21% increase in realized prices. However, profitability was pressured by the 20% appreciation of the Colombian Peso against the US dollar, which increased reported operating costs. The company remains focused on its expansion projects, with the Marmato CIP plant reaching final construction stages and first gold expected in December 2026.
Key Highlights
- Revenue beat estimates by 89%, reaching $295.4 million compared to the $156.25 million consensus.
- Consolidated All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) rose to $2,356 per ounce, impacted heavily by foreign exchange headwinds and higher sustaining capital at Segovia.

- Segovia operations reported owner-mining AISC of $1,945 per ounce, with year-to-date costs remaining at the low end of full-year guidance.
