Marmato Mine - Aris Mining Corporation

The historic Marmato Upper Mine is a narrow-vein mine using small scale, labour intensive mining methods and is currently producing approximately 25,000 ounces of gold per year.

A large expansion project is underway with construction of a new Lower Mine to access wider porphyry mineralization below the Upper Mine. The expansion started in Q3 2023 and includes a new portal and decline, dedicated 4,000 tpd processing facility and the use of efficient mechanized mining methods. First gold from the Lower Mine is expected in late 2025.
