ARIS MINING APPROVED FOR NYSE UPLISTING

Aris Mining Corp. has received approval to uplist its common shares from the NYSE American to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

The company's common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ARIS. Upon uplisting, Aris Mining's United States trading symbol will change to ARIS from ARMN, aligning the company's U.S. and Canadian trading symbols.

Aris Mining's common shares will cease trading on the NYSE American after market close on Feb. 18, 2026. Trading on the NYSE under the symbol ARIS is expected to commence at the opening of premarket trading on Feb. 19, 2026. Shareholders are not required to take any action in connection with the uplisting.

To mark the NYSE uplisting and trading symbol alignment, senior management of Aris Mining will be present on the floor of the NYSE on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, and will participate in the NYSE closing bell ceremony.

Neil Woodyer, chair and chief executive officer of Aris Mining, commented: "We believe the move to the NYSE will enhance our visibility among U.S. and global institutional investors and better reflect the growing scale and quality of our portfolio. Aris Mining is building a leading gold mining company in South America with the potential to reach one million ounces of annual gold production from our 100-per-cent-owned mines and development projects. Aligning our U.S. and Canadian trading symbols under ARIS further strengthens our corporate identity across global capital markets."

About Aris Mining Corp.

Founded in September, 2022, Aris Mining was established with a vision to build a South America-focused gold mining company. The company's strategy combines current production and cash flow generation with transformational growth driven by expansions of its operating assets, exploration and development projects. Aris Mining intends to unlock value through scale, diversification and execution. The company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (ARIS) and the NYSE American, and has been approved to uplist to the New York Stock Exchange. Aris Mining is led by an experienced team with a strong record of value creation, operational excellence, financial discipline and good corporate governance in the gold mining industry.

Aris Mining operates two underground gold mines in Colombia: Segovia and Marmato, which together produced approximately 257,000 ounces of gold in 2025. With expansions under way, the company is targeting an annual production rate of 500,000 ounces of gold, driven by the commissioning of a second mill at Segovia, completed in June, 2025, and ramping up since, and the construction of the CIP plant at Marmato, with first gold expected in Q4 2026.

Beyond its operating assets, Aris Mining has a development pipeline that supports its longer-term growth outlook to achieve annual production of approximately 1.0 million ounces of gold. Aris Mining owns the Toroparu gold project in Guyana, where a preliminary economic assessment was completed in October, 2025, and a prefeasibility study is in progress, positioning the project to advance toward construction. In Colombia, Aris Mining also owns the high-grade Soto Norte gold project, where a prefeasibility study was completed in September, 2025, that balances scale and strong economics with industry-leading environmental and social design features. Environmental studies are being finalized and on schedule for submission in Q2 2026 to initiate the Soto Norte licensing process.
