Neil Woodyer, Chair and CEO, commented "During the third quarter, we continued to advance our growth plans at both Segovia and Marmato. At Segovia, owner-mined tonnes increased approximately 23% from Q1 to Q3. Production from our external mining partners was affected earlier in the year by temporary constraints on access to explosives, which impacted their tonnes and grades. This issue was resolved in September under the new Colombian administration, positioning partner production to increase toward planned ramp-up levels.
At Marmato, the new Cascabel 3 filtered tailings facility, a key component of the expansion project, has been commissioned. We used the associated planned downtime to carry out upgrades at the existing flotation plant, while construction of the new CIP plant continues to advance toward first gold in Q4. With mining underway in the Bulk Mining Zone, ore stockpiles building ahead of CIP commissioning, and the Cascabel 3 filtered tailing facility now operational, Marmato is well positioned heading into 2027. 3 koz, up 16% from the same period in 2025.

The planned transition from Cascabel 2 required approximately four weeks of flotation plant downtime, which was used to complete upgrades and extensive maintenance and contributed to lower production in Q3 2026.
