Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARG; OTCQX: ARREF) announced a strong financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (“Q2-2025”). Dollar amounts in this news release are in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.
Amerigo’s Q2-2025 financial results included net income of $7.5 million, earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.05, EBITDA1 of $17.8 million, operating cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital1 of $11.9 million and free cash flow to equity1 of $6.5 million. In Q2-2025, Amerigo returned $3.5 million to shareholders through its quarterly dividend of Cdn$0.03 per share and $4.0 million from the purchase and cancellation of 3.1 million common shares through a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”).
On the back of MVC’s stellar operational performance and rising copper prices, Amerigo continues to rapidly return capital to shareholders under the Company’s well-established Capital Return Strategy. In Q2-2025 alone, Amerigo bought and cancelled 3.1 million shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid and paid its fifteenth consecutive quarterly dividend. In the first half of the year, the Company’s free cash flow to equity¹ was $11.3 million, and $12.1 million was returned to shareholders.
We continue to expect strong, long-term copper demand around the world. Supportive fundamentals remain in place, despite trade tensions and the tariff-induced short-term logistical repositioning of significant copper cathode stocks to the United States. This repositioning has created a historical price arbitrage between the Comex and LME markets, which we believe will be resolved over time, albeit with continued upward pressure on copper prices.
In this macro setting, we believe that Amerigo’s unique business model, which produces copper without a mine and avoids traditional mining and exploration risks, will continue to shine. With minimal debt and a significant, consistent return of capital to shareholders, Amerigo provides a clean and unencumbered exposure to the rising copper prices that we expect will continue.Aurora Davidson, President & CEO, Amerigo Resources Inc.

Q2 2025 Financial Summary Table
Highlights and Significant Items
• In Q2-2025, Amerigo’s posted net income of $7.5 million (Q2-2024: $9.8 million), driven by copper production from MVC of 15.5 million pounds (“M lbs”) (Q2-2024: 14.0 M lbs) at an average MVC copper price of $4.42 per pound (“/lb”) (Q2-2024: $4.39/lb). In Q2-2024, net income was higher as a result of $6.9 million in positive fair value adjustments to copper revenue receivables from a sharp quarter-on-quarter copper price appreciation (Q2-2025: $0.7 million).
• EPS in Q2-2025 was $0.05 (Cdn$0.06), compared to $0.06 (Cdn$0.08) in Q2-2024.
• The Company generated operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital1
of $11.9 million in Q2-2025, compared to $14.3 million in Q2-2024. The Company’s quarterly net operating cash flow was $6.3 million (Q2-2024: $23.8 million) after changes in working capital in the period, most notably a $9.5 million reduction in current income tax liabilities associated with MVC’s final 2024 income tax payment and reductions of $2.1 million in trade and other receivables.
• Free cash flow to equity¹ was $6.5 million in Q2-2025 (Q2-2024: $6.7 million), after debt repayments of $4.0 million (Q2-2024: $4.2 million) and capital expenditures (“Capex”) payments of $1.4 million (Q2-2024: $3.4 million).
• In Q2-2025, Amerigo returned $7.6 million to shareholders (Q2-2024: $3.6 million). This included $3.5 million returned to shareholders through Amerigo’s regular quarterly dividend of Cdn$0.03 per share (Q2-2024: $3.6 million or Cdn$0.03 per share) and $4.0 million from the purchase and cancellation of 3.1 million common shares through a NCIB (Q2-2024: $nil).
• Q2-2025 cash cost¹ was $1.82/lb (Q2-2024: $1.96/lb). The $0.14/lb reduction in cash cost was primarily due to a $0.19/lb decrease in smelting and refining charges, in response to the current annual benchmark, offset by a $0.03/lb increase in lime cost and a $0.03/lb increase in other direct costs.
• On June 30, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million (December 31, 2024: $35.9 million), restricted cash of $0.9 million (December 31, 2024: $4.4 million), and its working capital deficiency was $5.4 million, down from a working capital deficiency of $6.5 million on December 31, 2024.
• The Company’s financial performance is sensitive to changes in copper prices. MVC’s Q2-2025 provisional copper price was $4.42/lb. The final prices for April, May, and June 2025 sales will be based on the average London Metal Exchange (“LME”) prices for July, August, and September 2025, respectively. A 10% increase or decrease from the $4.42/lb provisional price used on June 30, 2025, would result in a $6.9 million change in revenue in Q3-2025 regarding Q2-2025 production.
