The company said, "GEO production for 2026 is guided to be between 281,000 and 305,000 ounces, driven by increased production at the Seguela Mine, offset by lower GEO production at the Caylloma Mine due to the effect of a higher gold price on the gold-to-base-metal conversion used in the GEO calculation. Consolidated AISC is expected to be between $1,830 and $1,975 per ounce, representing a slight increase compared to 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to higher royalties of approximately $30 per ounce, assuming a gold price of $3,750 for 2026, and the impact of relative metal prices at Caylloma, estimated at $60 per ounce on a gold equivalent basis. In addition, AISC reflects a higher cost base at Seguela, as the prior year benefited from the processing of ore inventory with lower unit mining costs. These factors are partially offset by lower cash costs at Lindero and higher gold production at Seguela."
