Aris Mining's Q2 Gold Sales Surge: Will Volume Momentum Last?

Aris Mining Corporation ARMN delivered higher year-over-year gold sales volumes in the second quarter, fueling a notable rise in gold revenues and earnings from mining operations. ARMN’s gold sales jumped roughly 23% year over year to 61,024 ounces. This marked the highest sales volumes since the fourth quarter of 2023. Segovia, a cornerstone of Aris Mining's portfolio, saw a 24% year-over-year rise in volumes.  

The growth in sales volume underscores Aris Mining’s operational efficiency and improved output from its key Colombian assets. Higher sales volumes contributed to a 75% year-over-year surge in gold revenues to $200.2 million, and a solid 208% surge in earnings from mining operations. Going forward, Aris Mining’s ability to maintain or accelerate its sales volumes will be crucial in amplifying revenues and cash flows during favorable gold pricing environments and reinforcing investor confidence. The momentum is likely to continue in the second half, driven by the ramp-up of the expanded Segovia mill.

Among its peers with exposure in Colombia, B2Gold Corp. BTG saw flat year-over-year gold sales in the second quarter. B2Gold’s consolidated gold sales were 210,384 ounces in the quarter compared with 210,228 ounces in the prior quarter.
