VANCOUVER, BC , Sept. 24, 2025 /CNW/ – Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE-A: ARMN) reports that all 23 workers who were underground at the time of the La Reliquia Mine shaft collapse have been safely brought to surface. This group included five Aris Mining employees conducting a routine monthly review of La Reliquia’s operations.
Aris Mining’s Brigade of Prevention and Emergency Control responded immediately, leading the operation to a safe and injury-free conclusion.
Neil Woodyer, CEO, commented “We are relieved and grateful that all workers are now safely at surface. I commend our rescue team and La Reliquia’s workforce for their professionalism, dedication, and swift response. We also thank the families and local community for their patience and trust during this difficult time.”
The La Reliquia Mine has been a partner to the Segovia Operations since 2014 and contributes a small portion of mill feed to Segovia’s overall production. The incident did not impact regular operations at Segovia.
