• All-in sustaining cost (AISC) margin at Segovia expanded 25% sequentially, reflecting improved operational efficiency and higher realized gold prices.
• Free cash flow of $42 million was generated while investing $61 million in expansion projects, including significant progress at Marmato and Segovia’s mill capacity ramp-up.
