Aura Minerals (AUGO) signed a definitive agreement to acquire Newco and bring mining fleet operations in-house at three Brazilian gold operations. Newco will hold the fleet, equipment leases and dedicated workforce serving Apoena, Almas and Borborema. The transition is targeted for January 2027.
The acquisition's enterprise value is R$612 million (approximately US$118 million), with up to R$250 million paid in cash and the remainder comprising assumed equipment lease financing and contingent payments. Some consideration depends on transition performance. Aura expects a weighted-average reduction in all-in sustaining costs of US$150 to US$200 per ounce of gold sold across the three operations beginning in 2027, based on internal estimates. Closing requires Brazilian antitrust clearance from CADE.
