Executive Summary

Fortuna Mining Corp. published its eighth annual Sustainability Report for 2025 on May 28, 2026.
The report highlights governance metrics including 63% of directors with safety/ESG expertise and 37.5% female board representation.
Workforce health and safety data shows one fatal incident involving a subcontractor; however, employee Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was 0.00 and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 0.74.
Environmental compliance is strong with zero significant spills or water-related regulatory non-compliance incidents.
Community contributions totaled US$258 million to governments and US$4.36 million in community programs for the year ended 2025.
The Diamba Sud Gold Project is integrated into Fortuna's sustainability framework with readiness programs advancing before construction.
Disclosures are prepared using SASB, IFRS S1, GRI, and TCFD frameworks, aligning toward IFRS S2.

Material Impact

Financial Impact: The report contains no new financial guidance or capital allocation changes; it is a follow-up to the Q1 2026 earnings release (May 6) which already established record free cash flow of $174 million.
Operational Continuity: Despite one subcontractor fatality, operations at Lindero and Séguéla resumed full capacity following crusher repairs, indicating no material operational disruption from the safety incident.
Regulatory Risk: Zero confirmed cases of human rights violations or corruption and zero environmental spills reduce regulatory risk premiums for Senegal (Diamba Sud) and Argentina (Lindero).
Market Expectation: The market has already priced in strong Q1 2026 performance ($4,884/oz realized gold price); this report confirms the underlying operational stability required to sustain that performance.
Safety Risk: While LTIFR is zero for employees, a fatality involving a subcontractor introduces reputational risk and potential scrutiny on contractor management practices, though it does not currently halt production.
