ARIS MINING INCREASES SEGOVIA OPERATIONS’ MEASURED AND INDICATED

MINERAL RESOURCES BY +114% TO 3.6 MOZ AT 14.34 g/t AU

Vancouver, Canada, November 2, 2023 – Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS;

NYSE-A: ARMN) announces updated mineral resource estimates for its Segovia Operations in Colombia

effective September 30, 2023 (the “2023 MRE”). Aris Mining will file an updated technical report in support

of the 2023 MRE within 45 days of this news release.

Neil Woodyer, CEO of Aris Mining, commented “In early 2023, Aris Mining launched a strategic exploration

and infill drill program at the Segovia Operations and a review of the geological interpretation and resource

estimation methodology. After assessing the findings of our reviews as well as our impressive mid -year

drilling results (see News Release from August 16, 2023 ), we decided to expedite the process of updating

our mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates. Segovia has a history of expanding its gold resources

and this current estimate represents a leap forward. We are now in the process of updating the mineral

reserve estimates, which is expected to be completed by the end of November.”

Notes:

• Mineral resources are inclusive of mineral reserves.

• Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and have no demonstrated economic viability

• There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, or

other relevant factors that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.

• Totals may not add due to rounding.

2023 MRE Notes:

• A gold price of US$1,850 per ounce was used for the 2023 MRE.

• The 2023 MRE utilized a gold cut-off grade of between 2.80 g/t and 3.12 g/t depending on mineral resource area.

The cut-off grade values were applied to vein grades diluted to a minimum height of one vertical metre.

• The 2023 MRE was prepared by Pamela De Mark, P . Geo., Senior Vice President of Geology and Exploration of

Aris Mining.

Previous MRE Notes:

• The mineral resource estimate used a US$ gold price per ounce of $1,400 in 2017, 2018, and 2019, $1,700 in

2020, $1,800 in 2021, and $1,850 in 2022 to determine a gold cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t in 2017, 2018, and 2019,

2.9 g/t in 2020 and 2021, and 2.65 g/t in 2022, all using a minimum mining wid th of 1.0 m.

As of September 30, 2023, $10.5 million of the planned $17 million 2023 budget had been spent with 83,205

metres of the planned 84,500 metres of drilling completed. Drilling will continue until the budget has been

spent, to an estimated 105,000 metres.

News Release

In June 2023, Aris Mining engaged Mining Plus to complete a thorough audit of the Segovia Operations’

mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which led to several recommendations to improve the

estimation processes. A significant difference of the 2023 MRE compared to previous MREs is a change in

the methodology used to select drillhole and channel samples to create the vein wireframe interpretations

in 3D geological modelling software. This change involved utilizing the “snap to sample ” function to

appropriately select the high grade vein samples in the vein interpretation. The improvement to the vein

interpretation methodology resulted in both the elimination of significant numbers of waste material

sample assay s and the inclusion of significant numbers of high grade vein sample assays , better

representing the volume and grade of the vein material that is expected to be mined . The impact on the

mineral resource estimate is both a material increase in the volumes of high grade vein material as well as

a reduction in the amount of diluting waste grades that have the potential to lower estimated grades to

below the mineral resource cut -off grades, thereby eliminating those volumes from the mineral resource

inventory.
