About this update from Aris Mining Corp

[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 9, 2023 /CNW/ - Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS) (OTCQX: TPRFF) announces financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (H1 2023). All amounts are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated. Aris Mining CEO Neil Woodyer stated: \"Since the merger with GCM Mining in September 2022, Aris Mining has been making continuous progress in the integration and transformation of our Colombian operations.

This partner-operated mining category encompasses our contractor workforce as well as the acquisition of mill-feed from artisanal and small-scale miner units. Our 'for-profit' partnerships with community-based groups introduce two distinct operating cost structures at the Segovia Operations. During H1 2023, the all-in sustaining costs from our owner-operated mining operations were $1,007 per ounce of gold1. In contrast, the AISC from partner-operated mining operations was $1,236 per ounce of gold1. It's notable that our partner-operated cost structure primarily hinges on a percentage of the spot gold price. Anticipating an upswing in partner-operated mining activities for the latter half of 2023, we have developed projections based on an average gold p...
