Oliver Dachsel: The Gold Miner Set to Double Production

While many mining companies are chasing acquisitions, Aris Mining is taking a different approach.

At the 2026 Rick Rule Symposium, Aris Mining President Oliver Dachsel explains why the company's path to growth doesn't rely on expensive M&A—but on expanding high-quality existing operations. The goal: increase annual gold production from roughly 250,000 ounces to 500,000 ounces by 2028, with a longer-term vision of becoming a one-million-ounce producer.

Dachsel discusses how Aris plans to finance that growth without significant shareholder dilution, why management believes the company remains deeply undervalued, and how its partnership model with local miners in Colombia is helping improve environmental outcomes while strengthening community relationships.
