Headlines
- Record First-Half Production: Q2 2026 total production reached 75,437 GEO, an
8% decrease compared to Q1 2026 and18% higher than Q2 2025 at current metal prices (at constant prices, -9% QoQ and +16% YoY). In H1 2026, Aura produced 157,574 GEO (158,448 GEO at constant prices), a27% increase over H1 2025 and the highest first-half production in the Company's history and is on track to deliver its consolidated guidance of 340k – 390k GEO in 2026. Q2 2026 and H1 2026 highlights:- Aranzazu: 17,882 GEO (+
14% QoQ at current prices; -20% YoY, due to mine plan), primarily reflecting metal price dynamics on GEO conversion; at constant prices, production was +8% QoQ, driven by higher grades from mine sequencing. In H1 2026, total production reached 33,576 GEO (-21% YoY) at current prices. At constant prices, Aranzazu produced 34,450 GEO (-21% YoY), mainly due to lower grades as expected in the mine sequencing. - Almas: 16,130 GEO (+
25% YoY; +2% QoQ), driven by higher ore processed volumes from the ongoing plant expansion. In H1 2026, production totaled 31,968 GEO (+23% YoY), driven mainly by20% higher ore moved volumes and30% higher ore plant feed, reflecting the results of the plant expansion. - Apoena, 5,704 GEO (-
24% QoQ; -31% YoY), due to mine sequencing, in line with the Company's plan to achieve higher grades in the Nosde Pit during the second half of the year. In H1 2026, total production was 13,229 GEO, (-23% YoY), mainly due to lower ore plant feed and lower grades. - Borborema, 14,251 GEO (-
17% QoQ), also driven by lower grades due to mine sequencing, as expected. In H1 2026, the total production was 31,352 GEO, higher than the same period of last year, considering that the commercial production of Borborema started in Q2 2025. - Minosa, 14,284 GEO (-
18% QoQ; -21% YoY), due to the increase in stacking level within the leach pad and lower ore plant feed. In H1 2026, production totaled 31,683 GEO (-11% YoY), mainly due to these impacts in Q2 2026. - MSG, 7,186 GEO (-
16% QoQ), as Aura continues to invest in underground infrastructure and primary development to invert the mining method to bottom-up. In H1 2026, production reached 15,766 GEO.
- Aranzazu: 17,882 GEO (+
- Sales Volumes: Q2 2026 sales were 78,414 GEO, a
4% decrease QoQ but a26% increase YoY at current prices, mainly due to better sales at Almas, Borborema now under commercial production, and the addition of MSG. In H1 2026, Aura sold 159,782 GEO, up30% YoY. - Net Revenues: Q2 reached US
$335,967 , down12% QoQ and up76% YoY, driven by gold prices and production fluctuations. In H1 2026, Net Revenue was US$718,573 , up104% compared to the same period of last year.- Average realized gold prices: Q2 2026: US
$4,304 /oz (-11% QoQ, +35% YoY). H1 2026: US$4,566 /oz (+53% YoY). - Average realized copper prices: Q2 2026: US
$6.09 /lb (+5% QoQ, +41% YoY). H1 2026: US$5.95 /lb (+39% YoY).
- Average realized gold prices: Q2 2026: US
- Adjusted EBITDA: Q2 hit US
$196,659 , down19% QoQ and up85% YoY. Driven by changes in production/sales and gold prices between the periods. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA hit US$ 440,527 , up135% YoY. - AISC Performance: Q2 2026 AISC was US
$1,985 /GEO, up9% QoQ and37% YoY, largely driven by MSG (US$5,277 /GEO, +41% ) as Aura focused the quarter on preparing the mine and advancing on primary development as part of the Company’s plan to shift the mining method to bottom-up. Excluding this impact, Aura’s AISC would have been US$1,653 /GEO, up5% QoQ and14% YoY, reflecting the mine sequencing at Almas and Apoena, and lower production at Minosa. These results were partially offset by a decrease at Borborema. In H1 2026, AISC was US$1,906 /GEO (+31% YoY) and US$1,615 /GEO ex-MSG and the Company remains on track to deliver its AISC Guidance of US$1,720 -US$1,865 in 2026, including MSG. - Recurring Free Cash Flow: Q2 2026 US
$80,230 , -15% QoQ, as lower EBITDA, increased CAPEX (+49% QoQ as part of the Company’s plan and Guidance), and higher realized losses on gold hedges (+12% , to US$37.2 million ) had a bigger impact than favorable changes in working capital and21% lower taxes paid. Compared to Q2 2025, RFCF increased by33% mainly related to the higher sales and gold prices. In H1 2026, US$ 175,083 , +107% YoY. - Net Income: a record US
$217.7 million , +129% QoQ with lower current income taxes. Net Income was +2,572% YoY, benefited from an Operating Income of US$175.3 million (+93% YoY). Both periods were materially impacted by non-cash gains related to the MTM of gold collars.- Excluding non-cash gain, mainly related to the MTM of gold collars, adjusted Net Income was US
$97.4 million , -11% QoQ and +164% YoY, for the reasons discussed above.
- Excluding non-cash gain, mainly related to the MTM of gold collars, adjusted Net Income was US
- Net Debt Position and Financial Leverage: Q2 2026 Net Debt of US
$168,026 (0.21x Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA LTM), an increase QoQ of US$52.8 million due to dividends and shares buybacks of US$67.7 million and expansion capex of US$53.5 million , partially compensated by Recurring Free Cash Flow of US$80.2 million .

In Q2, MSG continued the Q1 2026 strategy aiming to establish the structural foundations for the assets’ turnaround. Aura advanced underground development, with approximately 1,845 meters completed during the period, ending the semester with 3,645 meters, and accelerated the surface exploration program. This effort complements the previously disclosed resource and reserve update and supports the ramp-up toward the second half of 2026, when the expected production turnaround for 2027 begins to materialize. The technical agenda progressed in line with our safety priorities: the quarter was completed with zero lost-time injuries (LTI), reflecting the strong adoption of the Aura 360° culture across leadership and operational teams, and reinforcing our commitment to safe, disciplined mining and long-term value creation.
Q2 2026 production totaled 7,186 GEO, a
Net Revenue was US
In Q2 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) decreased
General and administrative expenses increased
The focus on primary development aligned with lower grades, which impacted directly in the sales and contingencies linked to the turnover drove the Adjusted EBITDA to US

____________________
1 Key Factors:
The Company’s future profitability, operating cash flow and financial position will be directly related to prevailing gold and copper prices. Key factors that influence the price of gold and copper include, among others, the supply and demand for gold and copper, the relative strength of currencies (especially the US dollar) and macroeconomic factors, such as current and future expectations for inflation and interest rates. Management believes that the economic environment in the short and medium term should remain relatively favorable with respect to commodity prices, albeit with continued volatility.
To reduce the risks associated with commodity prices and currency volatility, the Company will continue to assess and deploy hedging programs. For more information on this subject, please refer to the Reference Form.
Other key factors influencing profitability and operating cash flows are: production levels (affected by grades, ore quantities, process recoveries, labor, country stability and availability of facilities and equipment); production and processing costs (impacted by production levels, prices and the use of key consumables, labor, inflation and exchange rates), and other factors.
