Fortuna Delivers Strong Q2 Results; Positioned To Deliver Our Next Phase of Growth

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) (“Fortuna” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026. (Results from the Company’s San Jose and Yaramoko assets have been excluded from the 2025 comparative figures as they were disposed of during the second quarter of 2025.)

Jorge Ganoza, President and CEO of Fortuna, commented, “Fortuna delivered another strong quarter of production, generating $85.7 million of free cash flow from ongoing operations and $200.8 million in adjusted EBITDA, with a robust EBITDA margin of 63%. The second quarter is expected to be our peak AISC for the year and trend down in the second half with the completion of key capital projects at Lindero. At the same time, we are monitoring cost pressures from external factors, including royalties linked to gold prices, fuel costs, inflation, and macroeconomic conditions in Argentina, and the potential impact to our cost guidance for the year.”

Mr. Ganoza continued, “We also achieved key milestones for our organic growth projects with the delivery of the Diamba Sud Feasibility Study and a construction decision for the Séguéla Plant Expansion. Combined, these two projects will grow our production by 60% to over 500,000 ounces per year.”

Mr. Ganoza concluded, “The quarter also demonstrated the strength of our portfolio as we funded our growth projects, maintained a strong balance sheet, and still generated sufficient excess cash to return $82.1 million to shareholders through share buy-backs.”
