Rodrigo Barbosa, President & CEO commented, “In Q1 2026 we delivered another strong operational and financial performance, with significant progress across production growth, resource expansion and liquidity, resulting in a record-high EBITDA of US$244 million. We are pleased to announce a dividend of US$0.78 per share, totaling US$ 65.4 million— another record and above our Dividend Policy minimum. During the quarter we achieved several key milestones: (i) Received the key license and full Board of Directors approval to start construction of Era Dorada; (ii) Secured DNIT approval for the road relocation at Borborema, increasing Mineral Reserves and enabling planning for a potential expansion; (iii) Advanced production at the recently built Borborema Mine and optimization at the recently acquired MSG project; (iv) Continued the expansions at Almas and Borborema; and (v) Advanced the Matupá feasibility study update. These accomplishments demonstrate that we are executing our strategy: develop high-return projects to grow production above 600 koz GEO per year, expand resources and reserves, pursue disciplined M&A, and deliver meaningful dividends to shareholders. Looking ahead, we expect a stronger second half of the year, driven by favorable mine sequencing that reinforces our full-year guidance. And there is much more ahead.”
