David Londoño, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mineros, commented: “We are pleased to report another record quarter of financial results for Mineros. From a financial perspective, record gold prices provided us with another record for revenues and profits in the second quarter of 2025 of $182.4M and $43.5M respectively. These results were generated from the production and sale of 53,907 ounces of gold at an average price of $3,313, which price is 15% higher than the first quarter of 2025 and a full 42% higher than the average gold price for the second quarter of 2024. Net earnings per share were $0.15. Cash costs and all-in sustaining costs at the low end of guidance for Nechí and approximately 12% above the high end of guidance for Hemco because of the very strong gold price and its effects on the cost to purchase ore from the cooperatives representing our artisanal mining partners.”

Mr. Londoño went on to say, “With en excess of $109M in cash and a strong and flexible balance sheet we are ramping up our search for appropriately sized additions to production, both organically, with the near-term development of the Porvenir Project at our Hemco Property, and inorganic growth. We remain focused on maximizing stakeholder value.”

Financial Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2025

Revenue increased by 37% to $182,403 during the second quarter of 2025, compared with $133,384 in the second quarter of 2024, with gold sales of $178,573 at an average realized price per ounce of gold sold of $3,313, compared with gold sales of $124,976 at an average realized price per ounce of gold sold of $2,327 for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2025 is due to a 42% increase in the average realized price per ounce of gold sold, and a 0.4% increase in ounces of gold sold, offset by a 63% decrease in sales of silver of $4,146.

Cost of sales increased by 17% to $107,442 during the second quarter of 2025, compared with $91,991 in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to: (i) higher gold prices which increase the costs to purchase ore from artisanal miners by $13,979 or 40%; (ii) increases in operating costs across the Company’s operations generally, including labour costs of $2,576, tax costs of $783, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $205, offset by a decrease in materials and maintenance of $1,092 and a decrease in miscellaneous expenses of $884.

Gross Profit increased by 81% to $74,961 in the second quarter of 2025, compared with $41,393 in the second quarter of 2024, due to higher gold prices combined with a slight increase in ounces of gold sold.

Profit for the period more than doubled to $43,501 or $0.15 per share during the second quarter of 2025 from $18,076 or $0.06 per share during the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA was $82,278 during the second quarter of 2025, up 66% compared with $49,647 during the second quarter of 2024, mainly due to the higher revenue and consistent cost control.

Net cash flow generated by operating activities was up 741%, totaling $59,820 in the second quarter of 2025, compared with $7,115 in the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s net free cash flow was positive for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and totaled $45,121, an improvement from the negative free cash flow of $6,818 in the same period of 2024, mainly due to the increase in cash generated by operating activities of $52,377 partially offset by higher purchases of property, plant and equipment of $6,265.

Dividends Paid during the second quarter of 2025 of $7,473 were the same as the dividends paid in the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, capital investments 2 of $22,778 were made into existing mines, and exploration and growth projects, compared with $16,662 in the second quarter of 2024; this increase of 37% is described in Section 8 under the Capital Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Cash Cost & AISC: Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold in the second quarter of 2025 was $1,671 and AISC per ounce of gold sold was $1,940, compared with Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold of $1,304 and AISC per ounce of gold sold of $1,514 for the second quarter of 2024. The 28% increase in Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold is due to the 17% increase in the cost of sales, due to higher gold prices increasing the payments made to artisanal miners. The increase in AISC per ounce of gold sold is explained by the increase in the Cash Costs per ounce of gold sold.

Financial Highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2025

Revenue increased by 39% and totaled $342,963 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $247,532 in the six months ended June 30, 2024, with sales of gold of $334,845 at an average realized price per ounce of gold sold of $3,096 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with sales of gold of $231,938 at an average realized price per ounce of gold sold of $2,200 in the six months ended June 30, 2024; and a 3% increase in ounces of gold sold, offset by a 68% decrease in ounces of silver and 7% decrease in energy sales.

Cost of sales increased by 18%, to $203,844 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $172,669 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in costs is primarily due to: (i) higher cost of purchasing ore from artisanal miners of $23,594 due to higher gold prices; (ii) greater maintenance and materials costs of $1,043; (iii) higher labour costs of $4,535; and (iv) higher taxes and royalties of $2,366.

Gross Profit increased by 86%, amounting to $139,119 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $74,863 in the six months ended June 30, 2024; mainly due to a 39% increase in revenue, due to higher gold prices, which was partially offset by a 18% increase in cost of sales as explained above.

Profit for the period was up by 134% to $81,508 or $0.27 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $34,850 or $0.12 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in profit is mainly explained by the increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in administrative expenses of $2,661 and an increase in other expenses of $1,631. In addition, as a result of the higher profit before taxes, tax expenses increased by $17,762.

Adjusted EBITDA was up 70% to $153,578 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $90,301 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a 39% increase in revenue, offset by a 18% increase in cost of sales, an increase of $2,661 in administrative expenses, due to the redemption of share appreciation rights by executive officers in April, 2025, and a decrease of $1,110 in other income.

ROCE was 44% as at June 30, 2025 compared with ROCE of 31% as at June 30, 2024. The increase is due to the 54% higher Adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months, along with a 22% increase in average capital employed mainly due to higher cash generation associated with higher gold prices and stable production levels and higher purchases of property plant and equipment.

Net Debt was $(84,043) as at June 30, 2025, compared with $1,898 as at June 30, 2024 due to 303% higher cash and cash equivalents of $109,657, an historical record, together with 12% lower loans and other borrowings of $25,614, reflecting a strong cash position.

Dividends Paid were up 18% to $14,949 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $12,712 in the same period of 2024. The period over period increase is due to the fact that the dividend paid in the first quarter of 2024 was $0.0175 corresponding to the $0.07 annual dividend declared in 2023 and paid over four quarters with the final payment made in the first quarter of 2024.

Net cash flows generated by operating activities were up 315% totaling $71,454 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $17,220 in the same period of 2024. The Company’s net free cash flow was positive for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and totaled $44,041, up from $(8,715) in the same period of 2024, due to higher receipts from sales of goods of $96,903, and lower repayments of borrowings of $3,815 offset by greater payments for: income tax of $6,120; suppliers of $27,427; employees of $7,461; and for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $10,666.

Capital investments were up 42% to $43,953 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as investments were made into existing mines, and exploration and growth projects, compared with $31,025 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is explained by the construction of the extension of the tailings’ impoundment facility at the Hemco Property.

Cash Cost & AISC: Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,554 and AISC per ounce of gold sold was $1,812, compared with Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold of $1,240 and AISC per ounce of gold sold of $1,472 for the same period in 2024. The 25% increase in Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold was due to 18% higher cost of sales, due to higher gold prices which results in higher costs to purchase ore from artisanal miners in Nicaragua. The 23% increase in AISC per ounce of gold sold is explained by the increase in Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold and a 4% increase in sustaining capital expenditures.

2025 Guidance

For 2025, we expect gold production to be between 201,000 and 223,000 ounces, building on the consistent performance of our Nicaragua underground mines, our partnerships with the cooperatives representing artisanal miners in Nicaragua and the improved performance at the Nechí Alluvial Property. We remain focused on operational excellence and delivering strong returns for our shareholders. As gold prices increase, Mineros will continue to make production decisions at its Hemco Property, similar to those made in the first quarter of 2025 to maximize gold production, which may result in a different split in production between the Company’s Pioneer and Panama Mines and artisanal mining production than originally anticipated and upon which the original guidance was provided.

We are currently maintaining our production guidance for both the Nechí Alluvial Property and the Hemco Property.

The following table summarizes the Company’s production for the first six months of 2025 compared with the 2025 full-year guidance:

| | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | 2025 Guidance 1 | | Nechí Alluvial Property | 44,103 | 81,000 - 91,000 | | Hemco Property | 13,069 | 33,000 - 36,000 | | Company Mines | 57,172 | 114,000 - 127,000 | | Artisanal | 50,978 | 87,000 - 96,000 | | Consolidated | 108,150 | 201,000 - 223,000 |

1 Production guidance for silver is not provided by the Company, as we treat it as a by-product and the volumes of silver are small relative to gold production.

Cost Guidance

The higher gold prices are expected to result in higher Cash Costs per ounce of gold sold and AISC per ounce of gold sold at the Hemco Property as the cooperatives representing our artisanal mining partners are paid a relatively stable percentage of the spot price for gold as are the formalized miners in Colombia.

We are revising our guidance on cash cost and AISC due to higher gold prices and the effects of the increase in the price of gold on our costs to acquire additional production in both Nicaragua, from the cooperatives representing artisanal mining partners, and Colombia, from formalized miners working with the Company.

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash cost and AISC in the first six months of 2025 compared with the 2025 full-year guidance:

| Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold | Six months ended June 30, 2025 | Revised 2025 Guidance ($/oz) 1 | 2025 Guidance ($/oz) | | Nechí Alluvial Property | 1,230 | 1,270 - 1,370 | 1,220 - 1,320 | | Hemco Property | 1,794 | 1,740 - 1,840 | 1,420 - 1,520 | | Consolidated | 1,554 | 1,550 - 1,640 | 1,340 - 1,430 | | AISC per ounce of gold sold | | | | | Nechí Alluvial Property | 1,420 | 1,490 - 1,590 | 1,440 - 1,540 | | Hemco Property | 1,990 | 2,000 - 2,100 | 1,680 - 1,780 | | Consolidated | 1,812 | 1,880 - 1,980 | 1,650 - 1,750 |

1. These measures are forward-looking non-IFRS financial measures. Revised guidance for 2025 Cash Cost per ounce of gold sold and AISC per ounce of gold sold have been adjusted to better reflect market consensus estimates for gold prices for the balance of the year, which are in excess of US$3,000/oz, an exchange rate COP/USD of COP$4,200, and inflation of 6.5%. For further information concerning the equivalent historical non-IFRS financial measures, see “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” below in this news release.

Guidance for 2025 is forward-looking information, and readers are cautioned that actual results may vary. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Production Summary

The following table sets forth the gold produced by the operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.

| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Variation | Six Months Ended June 30, | Variation | | | | | | | | | | | 2025 | 2024 | ounces | % | 2025 | 2024 | ounces | % | | | | | | Nechí Alluvial Property (Colombia) | 20,859 | 20,591 | 268 | | 1 | % | 44,103 | 39,803 | 4,300 | | 11 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hemco Property | 6,248 | 7,357 | (1,109 | ) | (15 | )% | 13,069 | 15,539 | (2,470 | ) | (16 | )% | | Artisanal Mining | 26,800 | 25,755 | 1,045 | | 4 | % | 50,978 | 50,102 | 876 | | 2 | % | | Nicaragua | 33,048 | 33,112 | (64 | ) | (0.2 | )% | 64,047 | 65,641 | (1,594 | ) | (2 | )% | | Total Gold Produced | 53,907 | 53,703 | 204 | | 0.4 | % | 108,150 | 105,444 | 2,706 | | 3 | % | | Total Silver Produced | 70,733 | 224,096 | (153,363 | ) | (68 | %) | 147,992 | 466,745 | (318,753 | ) | (68 | )% |

Gold production increased by 0.4% as 53,907 ounces of gold were produced during the second quarter of 2025, compared with 53,703 ounces in the second quarter of 2024. The slight increase in production is the result of 1% higher production at the Nechí Alluvial Property offset by a 0.2% lower production at the Hemco Property.

Gold production up 3%: 108,150 ounces of gold were produced during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 105,444 ounces in the same period of 2024. The increase in gold production, relative to the comparative period in 2024, is a result of 11% greater production at the Nechí Alluvial Property and improved recoveries, offset by 2% lower production from the Hemco Property due to lower grades.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures Summary

The following table sets forth the gold produced by the operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

| | Three Months Ended June 30, | Variation | Six Months Ended June 30, | Variation | | | | | | | | | | | 2025 | 2024 | $ | % | 2025 | 2024 | $ | % | | | | | | E&E expenditures capitalized 1 | 1,815 | 1,407 | 408 | | 29 | % | 2,852 | 2,031 | 821 | | 40 | % | | E&E expenditures expensed 2 | 1,196 | 1,236 | (40 | ) | (3 | %) | 2,091 | 2,533 | (442 | ) | (17 | %) | | Total | 3,011 | 2,643 | 368 | | 14 | % | 4,943 | 4,564 | 379 | | 8 | % |

1. Capitalized E&E expenditures are reflected in E&E projects in the consolidated statements of financial position. 2. Expensed E&E expenditures are reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the respective period under “Exploration expenses”

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures (“ E&E ”): for the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $1,815 in capital expenditures, an increase of 29% compared with the second quarter of 2024. The increase is due to higher expenditures of $275 at the Porvenir Project, and higher expenditures of $133 at Nechí Alluvial Property combined with a 3% decrease in additional expenditures due to lower expenses in the regional exploration program at the Hemco Property.
