Accelerated waste stripping positions Tocantinzinho for stronger second-half production
G Mining Ventures Corp. (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF) reports preliminary production results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from its 100%-owned Tocantinzinho Gold Mine in Pará State, Brazil. Results were in line with the Corporation’s expectations.
Q1 2026 Preliminary Highlights
“TZ delivered consistent operating performance during the first quarter, with results reflecting the planned sequencing of lower-grade material as mining activities focused on waste stripping and pit advancement,” said Louis-Pierre Gignac, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This work supports access to higher-grade Phase 2 mineralization and positions the operation for a meaningful increase in grade and production in the second half of 2026, in line with our guidance.”

Operational Commentary
TZ delivered stable operating performance during the first quarter, with throughput and recoveries in line with our operating plan. Slightly lower metallurgical recoveries were expected with a lower head grade. With the plant now operating at steady state, quarterly production variability is primarily driven by mine sequencing and grade profile.
Gold production reflected the planned processing of lower-grade, which was the primary driver of lower output relative to previous quarters. Stockpile rehandling and blending supported consistent plant feed during the quarter.
Mining activities focused on accelerated waste stripping and pit advancement to access higher-grade Phase 2 mineralization. As a result, the strip ratio increased to 4.4x and total material movement reached 5.5 Mt. This elevated stripping is taking place in Phase 2 and positions the operation for improved grades and stronger production in the second half of the year, in line with the Corporation’s mine plan.
On Track to Deliver 2026 Guidance
The Corporation maintains its 2026 production guidance of 160,000 to 190,000 ounces of gold. Production is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year, with approximately 62% of annual output forecast for H2 2026 as higher-grade Phase 2 mineralization is accessed in accordance with the mine plan.
