Aripuanã Milestones and Near-Term Catalyst

Exploration Success and Resource Upside
2025 exploration delivered deep, high-grade intersections across key assets (Cerro Lindo, Aripuanã Massaranduba, Vazante, Pasco), reinforcing resource base and potential life-of-mine extensions.

Silver Exposure Enhances Future Earnings Leverage
