1. Refer to the Non-IFRS Measures section for a full reconciliation on cash costs ($ per oz sold), AISC ($ per oz sold), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings and additions to mining interests. Comparative cash cost and AISC values have been adjusted from amounts disclosed prior to Q3 2022 following a change in the methodology used to calculate total cash costs ($ per oz sold) and AISC ($ per oz sold) in Q3 of 2022.

2. The face value of long-term debt as at June 30, 2023 is as disclosed in Note 10 to the Interim Financial Statements.

Gold sold totalled 54,228 ounces in Q2 2023, representing an increase of 10% over Q1 2023 as a result of increased production. Gold revenue for Q2 increased by 16% over Q1 2023 to $106.2 million, driven by the increase in gold ounces sold and a 5% increase in the average realized price of gold to $1,959.

Cash costs per ounce sold increased by 11% in Q2 2023 against Q1 2023, reflecting the strengthening of the Colombian Peso (COP) against the US dollar during the quarter, which appreciated by 9% over the same period, which resulted in higher US dollar equivalent costs for locally sourced COP-denominated cost inputs.

In H1 2023, the Company continued to ramp up lead and zinc concentrate shipments from the Segovia Operations polymetallic plant, contributing $5.7 million in revenue. Income from mining operations increased by 5% in Q2 2023 over Q1 2023 to $34.9 million, with total income from mining operations for H1 2023 reaching $68 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Net cash provided by operating activities of $9.3 million in Q2 2023 reflects a decrease of $10.4 million from Q1 2023, driven largely by annual tax payments of $52.9 million made by the Segovia Operations. Following the payment, the Segovia Operations has a $10.6 million income tax receivable which will be applied to 2023 income tax liabilities.

EBITDA for Q2 2023 improved by 44% over Q1 2023 to $30.5 million, bringing the total EBITDA for H1 2023 to $51.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2023 improved by 2% over Q1 2023 to $39.5 million, with adjusted EBITDA for H1 2023 totalling $78.2 million.

Project Updates

Marmato Lower Mine

● On July 12, 2023, the Company received approval from Corpocaldas of the PMA which permits the development of the Marmato Lower Mine.

● Construction of the new underground mine will provide access to the wider porphyry mineralization below the current Upper Mine, which allows for mechanical bulk mining methods in the Lower Mine.

● Highlights of current construction activity include:

◾ all the land required for construction has been secured;

◾ initial environmental monitoring systems have been installed;

◾ tender bids for key long lead procurement items are in the market with orders to be placed in Q3 2023;

◾ construction of the access road to the new process plant and mine portal and declines is expected to commence at the end of September 2023, followed by construction of the process plant, mine and non-process infrastructure;

◾ the new 4,000 tpd mill and processing facility is on schedule for mechanical completion by the end of Q3 2025; and

◾ Ausenco has been appointed EPCM contractor for the processing plant.

Soto Norte

● Aris Mining is leading a new approach to engagement with government, local communities, artisanal and small-scale miners in the project area, and the Agencia Nacional de Minería (ANM) and introduced additional scope in communications strategies to expand awareness and understanding of the Soto Norte Project.

● The Soto Norte Project team continues with environmental and technical studies to support a new Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) application, scheduled to be submitted to ANLA during H2 2023.

● Calimineros, the artisanal and small-miner group at Soto Norte, are finalizing pre-operative activities and expect to start operations in Q1 2024. The Company plans to process the material mined by Calimineros at the Segovia Operations’ Maria Dama processing plant.

● Delimitation of the Páramo de Santurbán, a protected area of the Andes mountains, was completed in June 2023 and supported by the four municipalities related to the Soto Norte Project. The agreed delimitation, as mandated in 2017 by the Colombian Constitutional Court, was completed, in alignment with local, regional, and national government, as well as local communities. The Company expects the Colombian Ministry of Environment to issue its final resolution of the delimitation in H2 2023.

Toroparu

● Following completion of the Aris Mining Transaction (as defined herein), management commenced a re-evaluation process for the Toroparu Project and reduced previously planned expenditures until the evaluation is complete and the development plan is fully defined.

● During H1 2023, the Company incurred expenditures totalling $9.3 million related to the Toroparu Project, which compares to $60.4 million during FY 2022.

● During H1 2023, the Company also announced the results of the updated mineral resource estimate effective February 10, 2023, based on a new detailed structural analysis and updated geological model, confirming that Toroparu is a large-scale gold-copper deposit with an updated measured and indicated mineral resource estimate of 5.4 million ounces of gold and 118 thousand tonnes of copper, and an inferred mineral resource estimate of 1.2 million ounces of gold¹.

● Aris Mining management is progressing additional studies to update, fully-define and optimize the development plan.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Outlook

Aris Mining has established a strong group of high-quality mining assets that combines free cash flow generation from current operations, attractive large-scale development projects with long mine lives and growth potential from exploration upside. At the Marmato Lower Mine, tender bids for key long lead procurement items are currently in the market with orders to be placed in Q3 2023, and following the approval from Corpocaldas of the Lower Mine PMA, the construction of the access road to the mine portal and declines is expected to commence by the end of September 2023.

Construction of the new underground mine at Marmato will provide access to the wider porphyry mineralization below the current Upper Mine, which allows for bulk mining methods in the Lower Mine. The construction plan is expected to allow the existing Upper Mine to continue producing in the range of 20,000 to 30,000 ounces per year, aligned with the 25,216 ounces produced in 2022 and updated 2023 production estimates. The Upper and Lower Mines have a measured and indicated mineral resource of 6.0 million ounces of gold, which includes a proven and probable mineral reserve of 3.2 million ounces. The expanded Marmato Mine is expected to deliver average production of 162,000 ounces per year over a nearly 20-year mine life from the mineral reserves.

During H1 2023, the Segovia Operations produced 94,395 ounces of gold at an AISC of $1,108 per ounce. During H2 2023, gold production from the owner operated mines is expected to increase between 8% and 25% compared to H1 2023, as a result of processing rates increasing to a scheduled average of 2,100 tonnes per day in H2 2023. In addition, a modest increase in mill-feed purchased from partner-operated mining is expected such that the Segovia Operations achieves production in the range of 195,000 to 210,000 ounces – marginally lower than the initial 2023 production guidance of 200,000 to 230,000 ounces. The table below summarizes the H2 2023 and full-year 2023 outlook for the Segovia Operations:

	H1	H2 Outlook			FY 2023 Outlook
Segovia Operations: Mid-year Outlook	Actual	Low	-	High	Low	-	High
Attributable production: Owner-operated mining (ounces)1	52,732	57,000	-	66,000	111,000	-	118,000
AISC/oz	$ 1,007	$ 950	-	$ 1,050	$1,000	-	$ 1,050
Attributable production: Partner-operated mining (ounces)2	41,663	43,000	-	51,000	84,000	-	92,000
AISC/oz	$ 1,236	$ 1,200	-	$ 1,300	$1,250	-	$ 1,300
Total Segovia Operations	94,395	100,000	-	115,000	195,000	-	210,000
AISC/oz, combined mining operations	$ 1,108	$ 1,145	-	$ 1,245	$ 1,125	-	$ 1,175

1. Includes Company-operated areas within the mines, utilizing owner-managed labour.

2. Comprises contractor-operated and other small-scale mining operations within the Company’s mining title that are operated by miners under contract to deliver the mill feed mined to the Company’s Maria Dama plant for processing.

On a consolidated basis, Aris Mining expects to produce between 220,000 and 240,000 ounces during 2023, which compares to previous guidance range between 230,000 to 270,000 ounces.

Due to the expectation of increased mill-feed purchased from partner-operated mining operations (with relatively high AISC as the purchase price is calculated based on contained gold grades and prevailing spot gold prices), the overall outlook for Segovia Operations’ AISC has been revised to between $1,125 and $1,175 per ounce, which compares to original 2023 guidance of $950 to $1,050 per ounce, which was originally forecast with a gold price assumption of $1,700 per ounce.    

While Aris Mining continues to seek growth opportunities via business combinations and the acquisition of producing mines or advanced development-stage projects, the Company’s key objectives for 2023 include:

● implement targeted exploration programs at both Segovia and Marmato that prioritize expansion of mineral resources and their conversion to mineral reserves with planned exploration expenditures of $19 million in 2023;

● advance the Soto Norte Project environmental licensing process with the submission of a new environmental assessment study to ANLA, with completion of the licensing process to occur in early 2025; and

● Progress additional studies to update, fully define and optimize the Toroparu development plan.

Refer to the Non-IFRS Measures section for a full reconciliation of cash costs ($ per oz sold) and AISC ($ per oz sold) to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements. Comparative cash cost and AISC values have been adjusted from amounts previously disclosed following a change in the methodology used to calculate total cash costs ($ per oz sold) and AISC ($ per oz sold) in Q3 of 2022.

Gold production at the Segovia Operations of 47,882 ounces for Q2 2023 reflected an increase of 3% over Q1 2023, bringing the total production for H1 2023 to 94,395 ounces. This increase is driven by an increase in throughput to the Maria Dama plant following completion of repairs in April, as well as increased ore availability as the nation-wide explosives and detonator availability improved following the shortages experienced in the first three months of 2023. The frequency and size of explosives deliveries improved progressively throughout Q2 2023, allowing blasting to occur on more regular intervals which allowed management to focus on increasing stope availability.

Cash costs per ounce sold¹ in Q2 2023 increased to $926 over the same period in 2022, and increased to $872 per ounce sold for H1 2023. Total attributable cash costs decreased by 2% for Q2 2023 when compared to Q2 2022, further decreasing the total attributable cash costs by 7% for H1 2023 when compared to H1 2022. The decrease in cash costs was driven in part by an increase in by-product and concentrate revenue credits to $7.6 million in H1 2023 over $2.8 million in H1 2022, as zinc and lead concentrate shipments ramped up from the polymetallic plant commissioned in Q4 of 2022. By-product and concentrate credits included in total cash costs for Q2 2023 increased to $2.7 million over $1.2 million in Q2 2022.

AISC¹ per ounce sold decreased to $1,108 for Q2 2023 over Q2 2022, driven by a 15% decrease in total AISC as a result of prudent sustaining capital expenditures, which decreased by 74% period over period, and partially offset by lower gold ounces sold. Total AISC for H1 2023 decreased by 15% over H1 2022, and after taking into account the impact of

lower gold sales period over period, resulted in a decrease in AISC per ounce sold to $1,108 per ounce for H1 2023 when compared to H1 2022.

Sustaining capital expenditures of $9.7 million at the Segovia Operations for H1 2023 included:

● $1.2 million for ongoing exploration and mine geology campaigns at the four operating mines;

● $5.7 million for ongoing mine development; and

● $2.6 million for underground equipment, infrastructure improvements and tailings storage expansion.

Non-sustaining capital expenditures of $10.3 million at the Segovia Operations for H1 2023 included $7.6 million related to drilling completed under the exploration program, $1.8 million related to non-sustaining mine development and equipment, and $0.8 million for the new Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP). The new ERP, which is designed to provide improved performance management and cost control for the Segovia Operations, successfully launched at the beginning of July 2023.

As it relates to cashflow generation, an annual income tax payment of $52.9 million was made by the Segovia Operations during Q2, pursuant to the Colombian tax regime. The payment relates to the 2022 tax liability, as well as an installment payment in respect of 2023 income taxes. Positive working capital movements in Q2 2023 were a result of $24.9 million in value added tax (VAT) refunds received relating to 2022, with the VAT refunds remaining expected to be received in Q3 2023.

The price of ore purchased from the contractor and the artisanal and small-scale miner segments of the Segovia Operations (collectively “partner-operated mining”) is contractually determined using the grade of the material and the market price of gold at the time of purchase. Over a period of time, the price of this purchased ore will fluctuate in line with movements in the market price of gold – allowing for consistent margins from the partner-operated mining segment. This pricing mechanism also creates a natural hedge to currency fluctuations and further allows these groups to be active participants to changes in the market price of gold. As a consequence of these fluctuations in the gold price, the Company is not able to control the input costs associated with the ore purchased from partner-operated mining to the same degree as the ore sourced by owner-operated mining, where it has control over all aspects of the mining operations and the associated input costs. As a result, the full cost of production associated with the ore purchased from partner-operated mining is generally higher than the ore sourced from owner-operated mines at the current gold prices. The table below reconciles the cash cost per ounce sold and the AISC per ounce sold for ore sourced from owner-operated mines and other partner-operated mines to the totals for the consolidated Segovia Operations:

Marmato Lower Mine Project

On July 12, 2023, the Company announced that it has received approval from Corpocaldas of the PMA which permits the development of the Marmato Lower Mine.

Construction of the new underground mine will provide access to the wider porphyry mineralization below the current Upper Mine, which allows for mechanical bulk mining methods in the Lower Mine.

The Upper and Lower Mine have a measured and indicated mineral resource of 6.0 million ounces (Moz) of gold, which includes proven and probable mineral reserves of 3.2 Moz of gold¹.

Construction highlights include:

● the total project cost estimate remains at $280 million, including the $17 million spent since the 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study² on pre-construction activities related to mine development, camp access and road design, Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management (EPCM) services, and land acquisition;

● all the land required for construction has been secured and construction of the access road to the new process plant and mine portal and declines is expected to commence at the end of September 2023, followed by construction of the process plant, mine and non-process infrastructure;

● Ausenco has been appointed EPCM contractor for the process plant and tender bids for key long lead procurement items such as mills, crushers, feeders, thickeners, oxygen plant, gold room, and filters are currently in the market, with orders to be placed in Q3 2023;

● the new 4,000 tpd mill and processing facility is on schedule for mechanical completion by the end of Q3 2025;

● in addition to the site infrastructure, a 32-kilometre 115 kV transmission line will be built on a ‘buy build operate’ basis to provide power to the Lower Mine, related processing facilities and infrastructure; and

● environmental and social safeguards and monitoring systems have been placed during June and July 2023, in alignment with the PMA and the Company’s sustainability policy.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Lower Mine expenditures included $3.1 million for mine infrastructure, land acquisitions and environmental studies and $2.3 million for engineering and design studies and other project-related costs.

Marmato Upper Mine

On April 20, 2023, the Company entered an agreement to form a new partnership with approximately 260 artisanal and small-scale miners to deliver high-grade material from Level 16 of the currently operating Marmato Upper Mine.

● Artisanal and small-scale miners commenced operations on Level 16 in early May 2023, with initial mined ore of 545 tonnes, with an average gold grade of 7.44 g/t held in stockpile at the end of June 2023.

● During the month of July 2023, the processing plant commenced batch processing of the stockpiled ore. The installation of a dedicated crusher at surface to process this higher-grade ore is underway, which is expected to assist in ramping up production from the artisanal and small-scale miners commencing in Q3 of 2023.

● The inclusion of the highly productive workforce is expected to enhance the overall performance of the Upper Mine while expanding our commitment for building responsible and profitable partnerships with artisanal and small-scale miners in Colombia.

● The agreement represents the first step in rolling out a Small-Scale Miners Program at Marmato, based on the highly successful model developed at the Segovia Operations, with support from the local, regional and national governments.

The Company acquired control of Aris Gold, the former owner of the Marmato Mine, following the closing of the Aris Mining Transaction on September 26, 2022. As a result, the comparative information presented below for Q2 and H1

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

2022 are from the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of Aris Mining Holdings Corp. (formerly Aris Gold Corporation), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aris Mining Corporation, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (the Aris Holdings Interim Financial Statements).

	Three months ended,			Six months ended,

1. The Marmato Mine information included for the three and six months ending June 30, 2022 comprises operating results while the mine was under the control of Aris Gold. The Marmato Mine information included for the three months ending March 31, 2023, and the three and six months ending June 30, 2023 comprises operating results while under the control of Aris Mining, following the closing of the Aris Mining Transaction on September 26, 2022.

2. Refer to the Non-IFRS Measures section for a full reconciliation of cash costs ($ per oz sold) and AISC ($ per oz sold) to the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Interim Financial Statements. Comparative cash cost and AISC values have been adjusted from amounts previously disclosed following a change in the methodology used to calculate total cash costs ($ per oz sold) and AISC ($ per oz sold) in Q3 of 2022.

Gold production for Q2 2023 increased by 39% over Q1 2023, with ore throughput increasing by 23% as nation-wide explosives and detonator availability improved following the shortages experienced in the first three months of 2023. Gold production decreased by 17% compared to the same period in 2022 to 6,121 ounces, driven by 23% fewer tonnes processed for the quarter as the operations continued to be impacted by the aforementioned national explosives shortage in Colombia, which manifested in Q1 of 2023. The effect of fewer tonnes processed was marginally offset by a 7% increase in grade for Q2 2023, compared against Q2 2022. Gold production for H1 2023 decreased by 29% compared to the same period in 2022 to 10,511 ounces, driven by 30% lower tonnes processed and a 3% reduction in gold recovery for the period and offset by a 7% increase in grade for H1 2023, compared against H1 2022.

Aligned with the increase in gold sold for Q2 2023, cash cost per ounce decreased by 13% over Q1 2023. As a result of the lower throughput and overall lower production in Q2 2023 versus Q2 2022, cash costs per ounce sold increased by 39% to $1,790 over the same period in 2022 (Q2 2022: $1,287 per ounce sold). Similarly, cash cost per ounce sold for H1 2023 increased by 52% to $1,907 over the same period in H1 2022 (H1 2022: $1,257 per ounce sold).

Compared to Q1 2023, AISC decreased by 5% for Q2 2023 driven by the improved production and increase in gold sold. Sustaining capital additions were $1.4 million for Q2 2023, compared against $0.3 million for Q2 2022. For H1 2023, sustaining capital additions were $1.9 million, compared to $0.7 million for H1 2022. The lower ounces sold, combined with flat total cash costs, and an increase in sustaining capital spend over the same periods in 2022, resulted in a 47% and 55% increase in AISC, respectively, for Q2 2023 and H1 2023 when compared to the same periods in 2022. AISC for Q2 2023 was $2,258 per ounce sold (Q2 2022: $1,537 per ounce sold), while AISC for H1 2023 was $2,305 per ounce sold (H1 2022: $1,487 per ounce sold).

Soto Norte

The Company holds a 20% interest in, and is the operator of, the Soto Norte Project in Colombia, with the option to acquire a further 30% interest. A Feasibility Study¹ on the Soto Norte Project estimates a steady-state production rate of 450,000 ounces of gold per year at life-of-mine AISC of $471 per ounce of gold. In response to the detailed technical feedback provided by ANLA to the former operators in 2021, Aris Mining is leading the drafting and submission of a new ESIA. During the three-months ended June 30, 2023, drafting of the new ESIA continued to advance. Delimitation of the Paramo was completed in June 2023 and supported by the four municipalities surrounding the Soto Norte Project. The agreed delimitation, as mandated in 2017 by the Colombian Constitutional Court, was completed, in alignment with local, regional, and national government, as well as local communities. The Company expects the Colombian Ministry of Environment to issue its final resolution of the delimitation in H2 2023.

As operator, Aris Mining’s team is contributing its knowledge and experience and ensuring a respectful consultation process with the local stakeholders. Aris Mining is also evaluating opportunities to support rolling out a Small-Scale Miners Program at Soto Norte, based on the highly successful model developed at the Segovia Operations. The Company

¹  See section entitled Qualified Person and Technical Information for reference to the Soto Norte Technical Report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

also expects to have its flagship partner-operated mining program in Soto Norte, with the Calimineros group, to start operations in Q1 2024. While the Soto Norte project progresses toward construction, the Company plans to process the material mined by Calimineros at the Segovia Operations’ Maria Dama processing plant.

Soto Norte will be a significant project for the local and regional communities, providing employment and skills training for up to 1,800 construction contractors and up to 940 full time operations employees, and a strategy to procure goods and services from the regional community.

Revenue increased by 8% and 2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, over the same periods in 2022. Q2 2023 and H1 2023 benefited from concentrate sales of $1.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as shipments of lead and zinc concentrate commenced from the Segovia Operations’ polymetallic plant in Q4 2022. When compared to Q2 2022, gold ounces sold in Q2 2023 were steady and revenue improved due to a 5% increase in the averaged realized price of gold to $1,959/oz (Q2 2022: $1,859/oz).

The cost of sales for Q2 and H1 2023 increased by 25% and 20% respectively over the same periods in 2022. The increase is largely attributable to the inclusion of the higher-cost Marmato Upper Mine operating results for Q1 and H1 of 2023, following the close of the Aris Mining Transaction on September 26, 2022. Costs were also impacted by inflation in Colombia, which reached 12.13% at the end of June 2023 while the US dollar remained flat against the Colombian Peso period over period of USD1:COP4,127 on June 30, 2022 to USD1:COP4,191 on June 30, 2023.

During H1 2023, Denarius completed two equity offerings which resulted in the Company holding a reduced ownership percentage in Denarius. The Company concluded that it no longer had significant influence in the investee, and therefore, discontinued accounting for the investment using the equity method from April 4, 2023, being the date of the completion of Denarius’ most recent private placement, and began carrying the investment at fair value through profit or loss. The Company recorded a loss on discontinuation of the equity method of $10.0 million (Q2 and H1 2022: $nil) and reclassified the fair value of the Denarius investment of $3.4 million to other financial assets. The loss was calculated as the difference between the fair value of Aris Mining’s retained interest and the carrying amount of the investment in Denarius at the date the equity method was discontinued, including a $1.9 million loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income that was reclassified to profit and loss on discontinuation of the equity method.

Liquidity and capital resources

Aris Mining’s objective when managing liquidity and capital resources is to safeguard the Company’s ability to support normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis, continue the development and exploration of its mineral properties, support the development of the Marmato Lower Mine, Toroparu and Soto Norte Projects, and pursue accretive acquisition opportunities. Aris Mining intends to finance any potential acquisitions and growth with a prudent combination of debt and equity.

Aris Mining had a working capital surplus of $203.5 million (being current assets less current liabilities) at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: $233.0 million) and sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund its current operating and administration costs.

Aris Mining currently generates sufficient cash flow from operations at the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Upper Mine to sustain ongoing operations. The Company is, however, in a growth phase as the Lower Mine project ramps up, various optimization and exploration activities continue at the Segovia Operations, studies and development plan definition continue at Toroparu and investments in the Soto Norte Project continue. The Company expects this phase of growth to continue and should further funding be required, an appropriate mix of debt and equity would be considered.

2.  As presented in the Interim Financial Statements and notes for the respective periods.

Working capital requirements of the Company are met through the cash flow generated by ongoing operations, with the surplus cash flow reinvested into expansionary capital projects. Following the Aris Mining Transaction, the Company discontinued its dividend and share buy back policies with a preference for using cash flow to fund the Company’s growth. Key components of Aris Mining’s operating working capital at June 30, 2023 include:

● Cash and cash equivalents of $214.3 million, representing a 28% decrease from the $299.5 million at the end of 2022.

● The Note payable due to MDC Industry Holding Company LLC (Mubadala) relating to the deferred consideration for the 20% interest acquired in the Soto Norte Project, which amounted to $51.5 million (inclusive of accrued interest) at December 31, 2022, was settled during the first quarter of 2023 and is no longer included as a liability of the Company.

● Current portion of long-term debt of $32.9 million, reflects an increase of $17.4 million from the $15.5 million of long-term debt at the end of 2022. This increase is driven primarily by the reclassification of the $13.6 million in Convertible Debentures (as defined herein), which mature on April 2024, from a non-current to a current liability during the second quarter of 2023. The remaining increase reflects principal and interest repayments on the $300 million Senior Notes and Gold Notes.

● Income tax payable of $nil, representing a decrease of $25.8 million at the end of 2022, mostly as a result of $52.9 million in annual income tax payments made by the Segovia Operations during Q2, pursuant to the Colombian tax regime. The payment related to the 2022 tax liability, as well as an installment payment in respect of 2023 income

taxes. Following the payments, the Segovia Operations have a $10.6 million income tax receivable which will be applied to 2023 income tax liabilities.

● Accounts receivable of $38.2 million, which decreased by 21% from $48.5 million at the end of 2022, and was impacted largely by:

o the receipt of $24.9 million in Q2 2023 relating to VAT refunds due to the Segovia Operations for the 2022 tax year, which comprise 5 of the 6 bi-monthly submissions, with the remaining expected to be received in Q3 2023;

o an additional $10.6 million income tax recoverable related to the Segovia Operations following the annual income tax payments made in Q2 2023 (discussed above), to be offset by 2023 income tax liabilities.

● Inventories of $33.3 million, which increased from $26.6 million at the end of 2022, driven primarily by the strengthening of the Colombian Peso again the US Dollar, as well as the timing of production consumables delivered to the Marmato Mine in late June 2023.

● Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $41.4 million, which decreased from $47.3 million at the end of 2022 as a result of the settlement of payables in the ordinary course of business.

● Other changes in working capital from normal operating activities included an increase in prepaid expenses and deposits of $1.9 million, an increase in the current portion of warrant liabilities of $7.4 million and an increase of $1.7 million in the current portion of deferred revenue.

The net decrease in cash at June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 was $85.1 million, and is attributable to the following components of the statement of cash flows during the period:

● Aris Mining’s operating inflow before tax payments was $81.5 million (H1 2022: inflow of $102.1 million); the inflow was attributable to the positive income from mining operations.

● Income taxes paid of $52.4 million (H1 2022: outflow of $46.4 million), in line with the timing of the annual income tax payments related to the Segovia Operations, as required by the Colombian tax authorities.

● Investing activities resulted in net outflows of $99.0 million (H1 2022: outflows of $90.6 million), which were driven primarily by the settlement of the $50 million note payable due to Mubadala, $42.3 million for sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures (H1 2022: $55.5 million) and $3.4 million in contributions to investments in associates (H1 2022: $2.6 million).

● Financing activities resulted in outflows of $17.9 million (H1 2022: outflows of $21.2 million), related primarily to the payment of $14.4 million in interest on the $300 million Senior Notes, note payable and convertible debenture. There were also repayments related to the Gold Notes of $3.7 million. In H1 2022, other financing related outflows comprised $3.1 million in share buy-backs and $7.0 million in dividends paid.

Significant Financings

Senior notes

On August 9, 2021, the Company issued $300 million face value of senior unsecured notes (the Senior Notes) for net cash proceeds of $286.0 million after discount and transaction costs. The Senior Notes mature on August 9, 2026. The Senior Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest at the rate of 6.875% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears in equal semi-annual instalments on February 9 and August 9 of each year.

The Company’s subsidiaries which directly own the Segovia Operations and the Toroparu Project have provided unsecured guarantees for the Senior Notes. Prior to August 9, 2023, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to August 9, 2023, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.875% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

On and after August 9, 2023, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the relevant redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Senior Notes) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes up to the redemption date. The redemption price for the Senior Notes during the 12-month period beginning on August 9 of each of the following years is: 2023 – 103.438%; 2024 – 101.719%; 2025 and thereafter – 100 %. At June 30, 2023 the liability associated with the Senior notes is $299.3 million.

Gold notes

As part of the Aris Mining Transaction, the gold notes that were issued by Aris Gold (the Gold Notes) are consolidated into Aris Mining. The Company recorded a liability of $67.9 million for the initial fair value of the Gold Notes using valuation pricing models at the closing date of the Aris Mining Transaction. Significant Level 2 inputs used in the valuation model include a credit spread, risk free rates, gold future prices and implied volatility of gold prices. At June 30, 2023 the liability associated with the Gold notes is $62.5 million.

Convertible debentures

As at June 30, 2023, a total of C$18.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (Convertible Debentures) were issued and outstanding. The Convertible Debentures mature on April 5, 2024 and bear interest of 8.00% per annum, payable monthly in cash in arrears. At June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Convertible Debentures was $13.6 million, determined using the binomial pricing model and Level 2 fair value inputs.

WPMI stream on Marmato Mine

As part of the Aris Mining Transaction, the Company acquired the deferred revenue associated with Aris precious metals purchase agreement (PMPA) with WPMI (Marmato Mine PMPA). Under the arrangement, WPMI will provide aggregate funding amount to $175 million, of which $53 million had been received prior to the Aris Mining Transaction, with the balance ($122 million) receivable during the construction and development of the Marmato Lower Mine.

Pursuant to the terms of the Marmato Mine PMPA, WPMI will purchase 10.5% of gold produced from the Marmato Mine until 310,000 ounces of gold have been delivered, after which the purchased volume reduces to 5.25% of gold produced. WPMI will also purchase 100% of silver produced from the Marmato Mine until 2.15 million ounces of silver have been delivered, after which the purchased volume reduces to 50% of silver produced. WPMI will make payments upon delivery equal to 18% of the spot gold and silver prices until the uncredited portion of the upfront payment is reduced to zero, and will make payments upon delivery equal to 22% of the spot gold and silver prices thereafter.

The Company and its subsidiaries have provided security in favour of WPMI in respect of their obligations under the Marmato Mine PMPA, including a first ranking general security agreement over substantially all properties and assets

Page | 17        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

of Aris Holdings and its subsidiaries, security over the mining rights comprising the Marmato Mine, and a first ranking share pledge over the shares of each of the subsidiaries of Aris Holdings.

The contract will be settled by Marmato delivering precious metal credits to WPMI. The Company recorded the deposit received as deferred revenue and recognizes amounts in revenue as gold and silver are delivered under the Marmato Mine PMPA.

WPMI stream on Toroparu Project

The Company is party to a PMPA with WPMI with respect to the Toroparu Project (Toroparu Project PMPA). Under the terms of the Toroparu Project PMPA, WPMI will purchase 10% of the gold and 50% of the silver production in the Toroparu Project in exchange for up-front cash deposits totalling $153.5 million.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has received an initial deposit of $15.5 million, with the remaining $138.0 million subject to WPMI’s election to proceed following receipt of a final feasibility study for the Toroparu Project, environmental study and impact assessment and other project related documents. If WPMI elects not to proceed with the remaining stream financing of $138.0 million, WPMI will be entitled to either (i) a refund from Aris Mining of $13.5 million of the $15.5 million already paid and termination of the Toroparu Project PMPA or (ii) a reduction of the gold stream percentage from 10% to 0.909% and the silver stream percentage from 50% to nil.

In addition to the up-front cash deposits mentioned above, WPMI will make ongoing payments to the Company once the Toroparu Project is in operation as follows:

◾ Gold: the lesser of the market price and $400 per payable ounce of gold delivered over the life of the Toroparu P-roject, subject to a 1% annual increase starting after the third year of production.

◾ Silver: the lesser of the market price and $3.90 per payable ounce of silver delivered over the life of the Toroparu Project, subject to a 1% annual increase starting after the fourth year of production.

Non-IFRS Measures

Aris Mining has presented certain non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios in this document. The Company believes these measures and ratios, while not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Total cash costs

Total cash costs and total cash costs per oz sold are a non-IFRS financial measure and a non-IFRS ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Total cash costs per oz sold are calculated by dividing total cash costs by volume of gold ounces sold.

Aris Mining believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS such as cost of sales, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate operating income and cash flow from its mining operations. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Adoption of the World Gold Standard methodology is voluntary and other companies may quantify this measure differently because of different underlying principles and policies applied.

Aris Mining changed the method of calculating cash costs in Q3 2022 and all historical information was adjusted. Total cash costs now exclude royalties and include the appropriate mine-level general and administrative costs. General and administrative costs associated with the corporate office (Canada) are excluded from the calculation. Management considers that royalties are not controllable by the operations team and as such exclude them from their cash costs – these costs are included in AISC below. Conversely, mine-level general and administrative costs are controllable by the operations team and as such are included in total cash costs.

All-in sustaining costs

AISC and AISC ($ per oz sold) are a non-IFRS financial measure and a non-IFRS ratio, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. AISC ($ per oz sold) is calculated by dividing AISC by volume of gold ounces sold.

The methodology for calculating AISC was developed internally and is calculated below, and readers should be aware that this measure does not have a standardized meaning. This non-IFRS measure provides investors with transparency to the total period-attributable AISC of producing an ounce of gold and may aid in the comparison with other gold mining peers. Management uses this metric as an important tool to monitor operating costs. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Aris Mining changed the method of calculating AISC in Q3 2022 and all historical information was adjusted. AISC now excludes all non-mine-level general and administrative costs, environmental penalties and non-mine lease payments. Management considers that these costs are not controllable by the operations teams.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are a non-IFRS financial measure and non-IFRS ratios, respectively, and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. Adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are calculated by dividing adjusted net earnings by the number of shares outstanding on a basic basis, respectively.

Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share (basic) are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.

Adjusted net earnings is defined as net income adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, foreign exchange gains, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted net earnings per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic basis as determined under IFRS.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures and are common financial performance measures in the gold mining industry; however, they have no standard meaning under IFRS. EBITDA represents earnings before interest (including non-cash accretion of financial obligations and lease obligations), income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization.

EBITDA is then adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as: share-based payments, change in fair value of financial instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses, income and losses from equity accounting in investees, and losses on deferred and current income taxes, and other non-recurring items (Adjusted EBITDA).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. Judgments and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, having regard to prior experience, but actual results may differ significantly from the amounts included in the financial statements.

The Company considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the significant judgments and estimates made in these consolidated annual financial statements and determined that the effects of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the estimates and judgments applied.

a) Significant judgments in the application of accounting policies

Areas of judgment that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

Asset acquisitions

The Company applies judgment in determining whether the exploration and evaluation assets it acquires are considered to be asset acquisitions or business combinations. Key factors in this determination are whether reserves have been established; whether the project is capable of being managed as a business by a market participant, and the nature of the additional work to convert resources into reserves.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Management is required to apply judgment in determining whether technical feasibility and commercial viability can be demonstrated for mineral properties. The technical feasibility and commercial viability is based on management’s evaluation of the geological properties of a mineral deposit based on information obtained through evaluation activities, including drilling, sampling, metallurgical testing, resource and reserve estimates and economic assessment of whether the mineral deposit can be mined economically. Once technical feasibility and commercial viability of a mineral property can be demonstrated, exploration costs will be assessed for impairment and reclassified to development projects within mineral properties.

b) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The areas which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include:

Mineral reserves and resources

The Company’s mineral reserves and resources are estimated based on information compiled by the Company’s qualified persons. Mineral reserves and resources are used in the calculation of amortization and depletion, for the purpose of calculating any impairment charges, and for forecasting the timing of the payment of shutdown, restoration, and clean-up costs.

In assessing the life of a mine for accounting purposes, mineral reserves and resources are only taken into account where there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral reserves and resources, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Mineral reserves and resource estimates may vary as a result of changes in the price of gold, production costs and with additional knowledge of the mineral deposits and mining conditions. Changes in the mineral resource estimates may impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment,

Page | 24        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

reclamation and remediation obligations, recognition of deferred tax amounts and depreciation, depletion and amortization.

The mineral properties balance is amortized using the units-of-production method over the expected operating life of the mine based on estimated recoverable ounces of gold, which are the prime determinants of the life of a mine. Estimated recoverable ounces are based on mineral reserves and estimates of mineable mineral resource balances. Changes in these estimates will result in changes to the amortization charges over the remaining life of the operation. A change in reserves and resources would change amortization expense, and this could have a material impact on the operating results.

Depreciation

Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful lives and residual values for the computation of depreciation and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions.

Indicators of Impairment

The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, E&E assets, development assets and operating assets are assessed for any impairment indicators such as events or changes in circumstances which indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there are indicators of impairment, an exercise is undertaken to determine whether the carrying amounts are in excess of their recoverable amount.

The Company considers both internal and external sources of information in assessing whether there are any indications that long-lived assets are impaired. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of its long-lived assets. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which property, plant and equipment are being used or are expected to be used, and in respect of long-lived assets, the right to explore in the specific area has or will expire in the future and is not expected to be renewed, substantive expenditures are neither budgeted or planned, exploration has not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources or sufficient data exists that although development of a specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the assets is unlikely to be recovered.

If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset to determine the extent of the impairment. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is used. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If it is estimated that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. Reversals of impairment are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment

Assets that are subject to depreciation and E&E assets are reviewed for impairment, or reversal of impairment, as the case may be, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there is a change in the recoverability of the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units or “CGUs”), which are typically individual mining projects. The estimates used for impairment reviews are based on detailed mine plans and operating budgets, modified as appropriate to meet the requirements of IAS 36, Impairment of Assets.

Page | 25        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Value in use is determined based on discounted cash flow models taking into consideration estimates of the quantities of the mineral reserves and mineral resources, future production levels, future gold and silver prices, and future cash costs of production, capital expenditure, shutdown, restoration and environmental clean-up, excluding future expansions or development projects. Assumptions used are specific to the Company and the discount rate applied in the value in use test is based on the Company’s estimated pre-tax weighted average cost of capital with appropriate adjustment for the risks associated with the relevant cash flows, to the extent that such risks are not reflected in the forecasted cash flows.

When evaluating fair value less costs of disposal, fair value is determined based on the amount that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and generally uses a discounted cash flow model based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, including future expansions or development projects. In a fair value less costs of disposal analysis the assumptions used are those that a market participant would be expected to apply. Where a discounted cash flow model is not applicable in the valuation of the asset (for exploration projects), the fair value less cost of disposal is estimated using the market multiples approach based on comparable public companies and transactions in similar jurisdictions.

An impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that were previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date when an event warrants such consideration. The reversal is limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of any applicable depreciation, had no impairment charge been recognized in prior years.

Provision for decommissioning

The Company assesses its provision for decommissioning when new material information becomes available. Mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing, and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.

Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs the Company will incur to complete the decommissioning work required to comply with existing laws and regulations at each mining operation. Actual costs incurred may differ from those amounts estimated. Future changes to environmental laws and regulations could also change the extent of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company. Changes in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for such obligations and to mineral properties. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning obligation. Actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.

Fair values of financial liabilities

The Gold Notes and warrants are recorded at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Fair values of Gold Notes have been determined based on a valuation methodology that captures all the features in a set of partial differential equations that are then solved numerically to arrive at the value of these financial instruments. The fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, commodity prices, time value, volatility factors, risk-free rates and credit spreads. The fair value estimates may differ from actual fair values and these differences may be significant and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Fair values of listed warrants have been determined based on a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying securities. Fair values of unlisted warrants have been determined using a liquidity discount from the Black-Scholes value of the listed warrants, which is consistent with the discount that the market has applied for trading prices in comparison to the Black-Scholes valuation of the listed warrants.

Deferred revenue

Judgment was required in determining the accounting for the PMPA between Aris Holdings, Aris Mining, and WPMI which has been reported as deferred revenue.

Page | 26        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Streaming arrangements are accounted for as contract liabilities (deferred revenue) in accordance with IFRS 15. These contracts are not financial instruments because they will be satisfied through the delivery of non-financial items (i.e. delivery of gold and silver ounces), rather than cash or financial assets. Under the Marmato PMPA (see Note 14 of the Annual Financial Statements), Aris Holdings is required to satisfy the performance obligations through the delivery of gold and silver, and revenue will be recognised over the duration of the contract as Aris Holdings satisfies its obligation to deliver gold and silver ounces.

The deferred revenue will be recognised as revenue in profit or loss proportionally based on the metal ounces delivered in relation to the expected total metal ounces to be delivered over the life of the mine. Each period management estimates the cumulative amount of the deferred revenue obligation that has been satisfied and, therefore, recognized as revenue. Any changes in the estimates are accounted for as a cumulative catch-up in the year that the estimates above change.

Key inputs into the estimate of the amount of deferred revenue that should be recognized are as follows:

Valuation Inputs	Description
Financing Rate	IFRS 15 requires the Company to recognise a notional financing charge due to the significant time delay between receiving the upfront streaming payment and satisfying the related performance obligations.
Long-term commodities price curves	Estimates of the long-term commodities prices are estimated in order to calculate the expected revenue value per ounce to be recognized from deferred revenue for each delivery to WPMI.
Life of Mine Production	Life of mine production is estimated giving consideration to IFRS 15 requirements constraining estimates of variable consideration and therefore is based on the approved life of mine and the portion of mineral resources anticipated to be converted to mineral reserves and mined.
Timing of construction milestones	The expected timing for when the Company will achieve the construction milestone requirements for the additional funding from WPMI have been estimated based on the Marmato prefeasibility study.

IFRS 3 – Business Combinations

Judgment was required in determining the acquirer in the acquisition of Aris Gold. Aris Mining has been identified as the acquirer in the acquisition of Aris Gold and the Company has accounted for the Aris Mining Transaction as a business combination. In identifying Aris Mining as the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company took into consideration the voting rights of all equity instruments, the corporate governance structure of the combined Company, the composition of senior management of the combined Company and the size of each of the companies. In assessing the size of each of the companies, the Company evaluated various metrics, including, but not limited to: market capitalization; assets; cash provided by operating activities; sales; net earnings; and mineral reserves and resources. No single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that Aris Mining is the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.

Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management

The nature of the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold properties exposes the Company to risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and credit risk. The Company may at times enter into risk management contracts to mitigate these risks. It is the Company’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken.

a) Financial instrument risk

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Page | 27        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

● Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

● Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

● Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash in trust, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and Soto Norte deferred payment approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

The Senior Notes are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. An observable fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes have been assessed using the trading value of the bonds on the Singapore exchange which indicate a fair market value of $236.0 million.

Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL on a recurring basis include the warrant derivative liabilities, the DSU payable, PSU payable, the Convertible Debenture and Gold Notes which are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the statements of financial position at fair value are categorized as follows:

	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 1		Level 2
Gold Notes	$	-	$	62,454	$	-	$	67,145
Warrant liabilities		12,213		244		15,360		954
DSU and PSU liabilities		1,095		780		826		293
Investments and other assets		4,249		-		412		-
Convertible Debentures		-		13,647		-		13,182
Total	$	17,557	$	77,125	$	16,598	$	81,574

At June 30, 2023, there were no financial assets and liabilities measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized at fair value that would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy during the period.

b) Credit risk

	June 30,  2023		December 31,  2022
Trade	$	339	$	13,576
VAT receivable		23,602		30,489
Income tax receivable		11,542		-
Other, net of allowance for doubtful accounts		2,834		4,597
Total	$	38,317	$	48,662

The exposure to credit risk arises through the failure of a third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk primarily arises from its cash balances (which are held with highly rated Canadian, Colombian and other international financial institutions) and accounts receivable. The timing of collection of the VAT recoverable is in accordance with Government of Colombia’s bi-monthly filing process. The timing of collection of HST recoverable is in accordance with Government of Canada quarterly filing process. As at June 30, 2023 the Company expects to recover the outstanding amount of current VAT and HST receivable in the next 12 months.

Credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable arises from the Company’s delivery of its production to an international customer from whom it receives 99.5% of the sales proceeds shortly upon delivery of its production to an agreed upon transfer point in Colombia and the balance within a short settlement period thereafter.

c) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from:

Page | 28        

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

● Translation of subsidiaries that have a functional currency, such as COP, which differ from the USD functional currency of the Company. The impact of such exposure is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss).

● Translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, such as the Canadian dollar (C$) and Guyanese Dollar (GYD). The impact of such exposure is recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss).

The Company monitors its exposure to foreign currency risks arising from foreign currency balances and transactions. To reduce its foreign currency exposure associated with these balances and transactions, the Company may enter foreign currency derivatives to manage such risks. In 2022 and 2021, the Company did not utilize derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.

The following table summarizes the Company’s current net assets held in Canadian dollars, Colombian pesos and Guyanese dollars (in US dollar equivalents) as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as well as the effect on earnings and other comprehensive earnings after-tax of a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the foreign currencies against the US dollar on the financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company, if all other variables remain constant:

	June 30,  2023		Impact of a 10%   Change		December 31,   2022		Impact of a 10%   Change

d) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Gold and silver prices can be subject to volatile price movements, which can be material and can occur over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may enter commodity hedging contracts from time to time to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in spot commodity prices.

The Company is required under the covenants of the Gold Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to put in place commodity hedging contracts (put options) on a rolling four-quarters basis to establish a minimum selling price of $1,400 per ounce for the physical gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account. Gold being accumulated in the Gold Escrow Account will be sold to meet the Company’s financial obligations for the quarterly Amortizing Payments of the Gold Notes. Under the terms of the agreement, such hedging will not be required if one of the following conditions is met:

- the Company determines that any such hedging contracts are not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms; or

- the failure to obtain any such hedging contracts would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to satisfy its obligations to make the quarterly Amortizing Payments.

As at June 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding commodity hedging contracts in place.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Aris Mining has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Basis for preparation and accounting policies

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Details of the significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 3 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accounting policies applied for the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Risks and Uncertainties

Exploration, development and mining of precious metals involves numerous inherent risks. As such, Aris Mining is subject to financial, operational and political risks that could have a significant impact on its profitability and levels of operating cash flows. Although Aris Mining assesses and minimizes these risks by applying high operating standards, including careful management and planning of its facilities, hiring qualified personnel and developing their skills through training and development programs, these risks cannot be eliminated.

Tailings Management

The tailings collection, treatment and disposal operations at the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Mine are subject to substantial regulation and involve significant environmental risks. The extraction process of separating gold and other metals from the host rock produces tailings. Tailings are the process waste rock generated once crushing, grinding, and extraction of gold or other metals from the ore is completed in the process plant, which are stored in engineered facilities.

Unanticipated failures or damage as well as changes to laws and regulations may occur that could cause injuries, production loss, environmental pollution, a loss event in excess of insurance coverage, reputational damage or other materially adverse effects on the Company’s operations and financial condition resulting in significant monetary losses, restrictions on operations and/or legal liability.

A major spill, failure or overflow of the tailings facilities (including through matters beyond the Company’s control such as extreme weather, seismic events, or other incidents) may cause damage to the environment and the surrounding communities. Poor design or poor maintenance of the tailings facilities or improper management of site water may contribute to facility failure or tailings release and could also result in damage or injury. At the Marmato Mine, underground mining commenced at the Upper Mine in 1993 but the first tailings storage facility was not constructed until 2006. A second nearby facility was approved in 2012. These first facilities have an approved environmental permit, but were not designed or operated to international standards. Aris Mining is undertaking the detailed design for the closure and remediation of these facilities. Failure to comply with existing or new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension or revocation of permits and other penalties. The costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine or increase the costs of development or production and may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. The Company may also be held responsible for the costs of investigating and addressing contamination (including claims for natural resource damages) or for fines or penalties from governmental authorities relating to contamination issues at current or former sites, either owned directly or by third parties. The Company could also be held liable for claims relating to exposure to hazardous and toxic substances and major spills or failure of the tailing facilities, which could include a breach of a tailings facility. The costs associated with such responsibilities and liabilities may be significant, be higher than estimated and involve a lengthy clean-up. Moreover, in the event that the Company is deemed liable for any damage caused by a major spill, failure or overflow of the tailings facilities (including through matters beyond the Company’s control such as extreme weather, seismic events, or other incidents), the Company’s losses or consequences of regulatory action might not be covered by insurance policies. Should the Company be unable to fully fund the cost of remedying such environmental concerns, the Company may be required to suspend operations temporarily or permanently. Such incidents could also have a negative impact on the reputation and image of the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Readers are encouraged to read and consider the risk factors which are more specifically described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF for the year ended December 31, 2022 dated as of March 31, 2023, which is available on www.aris-mining.com and under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company is currently aware or which it considers to be material in relation to the Company’s business actually occur, the Company’s assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects, are likely to be materially and adversely affected. In such circumstances, prices of the Company’s securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. In addition, such risk factors could cause actual amounts to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements related to the Company.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Internal controls over financial reporting

Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate and recorded, processed, summarized and reported to allow timely decisions with respect to required disclosure, including in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in internal controls

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations of controls and procedures

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
