Aris Mining's shares are up 110.3% YTD, and trading well below the industry average.
Aris Mining Corporation (ARMN - Free Report) recently commissioned the second processing mill at its Segovia Operations in Colombia. This key milestone will lead to an increase in Segovia's processing capacity by 50% to 3,000 tons per day, with a ramp-up currently underway. This firmly places ARMN to achieve its full-year 2025 production target of 230,000-275,000 ounces.
The Segovia Operations, a cornerstone of Aris Mining's portfolio, saw a 12% year-over-year rise in production to 99,076 ounces in the first half of 2025. ARMN’s total gold production shot up 13% year over year in the first half to 113,415 ounces, driven by the strong growth at Segovia. This growth underscores the Latin America-focused gold mining company’s operational strength and positions it favorably to achieve its full-year production target.
ARMN is set to beef up production rates in the second half of 2025, driven by the ramp-up of the expanded Segovia mill. Production for 2025 is expected to be weighted toward the second half, reflecting the uptick in milling capacity at Segovia.
