Aris Mining Corp. (ARMN) may be based in Vancouver, but its future is being forged in Latin America — and that future is getting brighter. The company is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic and profitable gold producers in the region, with major expansions underway across its flagship assets in Colombia and Guyana, notes Sean Brodrick, editor at Weiss Ratings Daily.
If management delivers, Aris could evolve from a regional operator into a 500,000-ounce-per-year powerhouse by 2027. That’s transformational.
Aris is executing one of the most ambitious organic growth plans in the gold sector today. Management is guiding for 230,000 ounces to 275,000 ounces in 2025, and by 2027, it expects output to exceed 500,000 ounces annually — nearly doubling current levels.

Recent financials show the momentum is real: Q3 earnings surged to 36 cents a share, a scorching 350% rise from a year earlier. Margins are widening, free cash flow is building, and earnings are poised to run even higher. Wall Street sees a 225% jump in earnings in 2025, followed by another 80% gain in 2026.
Best of all, this expansion is fully funded. Aris ended Q3 2025 with $415 million in cash, and debt has plunged to just $64 million, down dramatically from $241 million at the end of 2024.
Aris Mining’s rise is anchored by four world-class projects that give it diversified, multi-jurisdictional strength:
- Segovia (Colombia): One of the highest-grade underground gold mines on the planet. A mill expansion is ramping production toward 300,000 ounces per year by 2026, powered by consistent high-grade feed and excellent cost control.
- Marmato (Colombia): A major underground buildout is underway, targeting first production in late 2026. This will become a second large, long-life complex feeding Aris’s growth engine.
- Soto Norte (Colombia, JV with Mubadala): A tier-one undeveloped deposit with a robust PFS. Aris owns 51% and operates it. The permitting progress could unlock massive upside.
- Toroparu (Guyana): A new PEA outlines 235,000 ounces per year over a 21-year mine life with strong returns. This represents Aris’s next-generation project pipeline and long-term value lever.
In this constructive gold-price environment, mid-tier producers with expanding high-grade output are primed for outsize gains. Aris is perfectly timed for this cycle: costs are stable, cash flow is robust, and each project milestone adds real, material production growth without taking on risky leverage.
Aris Mining is a rapidly scaling, cash-flow-positive producer with one of the clearest multi-asset growth stories in the sector. With production set to blow past 500,000 ounces by 2027, multiple expansions moving forward and a fortress balance sheet, Aris is positioning itself as Latin America’s next mid-tier champion.
