ARIS MINING RELEASES ITS ANNUAL SUSTAINABILTY REPORT
Vancouver, Canada, October 6, 2023 – Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS;
NYSE-A: ARMN) has published its 2022 Sustainability Report which summarizes the Company’s performance
within relevant Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics . The report is available in both
English and Spanish for review and download on the Aris Mining corporate website at www.aris -
mining.com.
Neil Woodyer, Aris Mining’s CEO, commented: “We take immense pride in our identity a s an
environmentally and socially conscious gold mining company. This Sustainability Report serves as both a
reflection of our journey thus far and a roadmap for the path ahead. As we move forward with the
construction of the Lower Mine at Marmato we are poised to replicate and enhance the success we have
achieved at the Segovia Operations.”
2022 Sustainability Highlights
Our People and Partnerships
• The combination of the Segovia and Marmato mines under the Aris Mining umbrella represents an
opportunity to implement best practices in health and safety. During 2022, we conducted an initial
assessment by area identifying opportunities for improvement , which led to the adoption and
development of the Vision Zero Safety Program.
• At the Segovia Operations, we have formalized more than 2,900 miners, which has resulted in more
than 12,000 people gaining access to social security and banking services, among other benefits.
• Formalization not only results in increased revenue to artisanal and small-scale miners, but also
leads to improved health, safety, and environmental conditions and a reduction in illegal ancillary
activities.
• Diversity and inclusion are integral aspects of Aris Mining's core values and are deeply ingrained in
its corporate identity. This commitment is a testament to our continuous efforts to empower
women within the industry. At the end of 2022, Aris Mining Segovia had a workforce of 2,037
employees, with approximately 10% women. Of the 1,197 employees at our Marmato Mine, 126
are women, accounting for 1 1% of the workforce. Aris Mining is working to increase the inclusion
rate of women in our workforce and seeks to achieve 14% representation in both operations by the
end of 2023.
Our Communities
• We operate the “La Salada” School with over 800 students from local communities. We are thrilled
to announce the impending graduation of our very first high -school class in 2024. Our efforts
extend to more than 2,500 students who we are preparing for state examinations.

• We invest in road maintenance and construct pedestrian overpasses, enhancing road infrastructure
and ensuring safer and easier access to homes , workplaces and community centres. We actively
support health infrastructure development and organize eye health initiatives within our
communities. We also create community and cultural spaces that honour and respect local cultural
and religious traditions. We also provide training programs to community members and leaders,
focusing on subjects such as human rights, healthy lifestyles, and entrepreneurship skills.
Our Environment
• A significant milestone achieved by Aris Mining Marmato in 2023 was the approval by Corpocaldas
of the modification of its environmental permit for the construction and operation of the Lower
Mine project. In 2023, Aris Mining proposed and established a trust fund with over US$11 million
for the modernization and upgrading of wastewater tre atment systems, air emissions control,
water purification and addressing environmental liabilities in pursuit of Marmato meeting the
highest environmental standards.
• As a result of our conservation efforts directed at lowering our power consumption, we had an
annual reduction of 496.6 tonnes of Scope 2 CO2-equivalent emissions at the Marmato Mine in
2022 compared to 2021.
• Beyond energy, our dedication to responsible re source utilization extends to water management.
We treat 100% of the domestic water we draw , and a substantial portion is returned to the
community, ensuring a valuable and secure supply of drinking water.
• We work to ensure that tailings storage facilities are safe sites that comply with the Company’s
environmental management plans and the commitments made to the relevant government
authorities, and repurpose them as community recreational spaces. In 2022 we delivered a total of
200,540 tonnes of clean rock from the mining operations to be used as aggregate in road
construction to improve the infrastructure needs of the region.
