Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Aura Minerals reported record H1 2026 results, with production of 157,574 gold equivalent ounces (GEO), up 27% year over year, and net revenue of US$718.6 million, a 104% increase. Adjusted EBITDA reached US$440.5 million with a 61% margin, while net income was US$312.8 million versus a loss in H1 2025, reflecting much higher revenue, stronger margins and an unrealized US$101.9 million gain on gold hedges.

Q2 2026 was weaker than Q1 as gold prices and sales volumes eased: net revenue fell 12% sequentially to US$336.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA 19% to US$196.7 million, though both rose sharply year over year. Cash cost increased to US$1,513/GEO and AISC to US$1,985/GEO, driven mainly by the MSG turnaround and mine sequencing, and the company continues to expect 2026 unit costs within guidance. Operating cash flow was US$229.8 million and recurring free cash flow US$175.1 million in H1, keeping Net Debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA low at 0.21x. Aura advanced growth projects at Era Dorada, Almas, Borborema and MSG, secured board approval for up to US$200 million of share repurchases through June 2027, and reaffirmed 2026 production guidance of 340,000–390,000 GEO, alongside a stated path toward 600,000 GEO annually.

Positive

  • H1 2026 profitability surged: net revenue reached US$718.6 million (up 104%), Adjusted EBITDA US$440.5 million (up 135%) and net income US$312.8 million, reversing a prior-year loss.
  • Record production and strong margins: H1 2026 output was 157,574 GEO (up 27%) with a 58% gross margin and 61% Adjusted EBITDA margin, indicating robust operating performance across the portfolio.
  • Solid balance sheet and cash returns: Net Debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA was just 0.21x, H1 recurring free cash flow was US$175.1 million, and the board approved up to US$200 million of share repurchases through June 2027.

Negative

  • Unit costs rose sharply: Q2 2026 cash cost was US$1,513/GEO (up 32% year over year) and AISC US$1,985/GEO (up 37%), pressured by MSG’s turnaround phase and mine sequencing.
  • Hedging consumed significant cash: realized losses on gold collars totaled US$70.6 million in H1 2026, including US$37.2 million in Q2, reducing reported free cash flow despite strong operating results.

gold equivalent ounces financial
"Total production in Q2 2026 reached 75,437 gold equivalent ounces ("GEO")"
Gold equivalent ounces express the combined output or reserves of a mine by converting other metals (like silver, copper or zinc) into the amount of gold they would be worth at current market prices, so everything is shown as a single “gold” number. For investors this provides a common yardstick to compare production, value and growth across projects that produce multiple metals—like converting several currencies into one familiar money unit.
All In Sustaining cost financial
"All In Sustaining cost (US$/GEO) | 1,985 | 1,829 | 9%"
All-in sustaining cost (AISC) is a per-unit measure of what it really costs a mining company to produce its product over the long run, combining direct operating expenses with ongoing capital spending, maintenance, and other sustaining overheads. For investors, AISC shows the full, steady-state cost to keep operations running—similar to calculating the total cost per mile of driving a car when you include fuel, repairs and routine upkeep—so it helps judge long-term profitability and compare producers on a like-for-like basis.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA was US$196.7 million in Q2 2026, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 59%."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
cash flow hedge financial
"Change in the fair value of cash flow hedge, net of tax"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label for a contract or arrangement used to offset expected future swings in a company’s cash payments or receipts — for example from variable-rate interest, foreign currency sales, or forecasted purchases. It matters to investors because it aims to smooth future cash and earnings volatility: gains or losses on the hedge are held out of current profit and reported separately until the underlying transaction affects results, much like buying insurance to steady future bills.
Net Debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Net Debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA | 0.21x | 0.16x | 0.05x"
Net debt divided by LTM (last twelve months) adjusted EBITDA is a leverage ratio that compares a company’s debt load (debt minus cash) to its recent operating cash-generating power after routine adjustments. Investors use it like a “years to pay off” number—higher values mean more debt relative to earnings, suggesting greater financial risk; lower values indicate a stronger ability to cover debt from ongoing business earnings.

Earnings Release  

Q2 2026 | H1 2026

 

Miami, August 5, 2026 – “Aura delivered a record first half, producing 158k GEO in H1 2026. With second-half guidance of 182k to 232k GEO, we remain firmly on track with our full-year target of 340k to 390k GEO. Our LTM Adjusted EBITDA reached US$802 million — the 12th consecutive quarterly increase — supported by an average gold price of US$4,260 per ounce and LTM production of 313k GEO. Beyond the numbers, we are rapidly advancing our next phase of growth: construction at Era Dorada is on schedule with earthmoving 60% complete; the turnaround at MSG is laying the infrastructure and underground development for a significant production step-up in 2027; Almas is advancing its expansion toward 3 Mtpa; we are finalizing engineering studies at Borborema to increase capacity; and we are now incorporating Serrinhas and Pé Quente into the Matupá studies. We are delivering both strong production growth and a clear path toward 600k GEO annually, while rewarding our shareholders with robust returns — generating a approximately 4.3% yield over the last twelve months through dividends and share buybacks.” Commented Rodrigo Barbosa President and CEO of Aura.

· Record First-Half Production: Q2 2026 total production reached 75,437 GEO, an 8% decrease compared to Q1 2026 and 18% 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), a 27% 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:

 

o 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.

 

 1 

 

 

o 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 by 20% higher ore moved volumes and 30% higher ore plant feed, reflecting the results of the plant expansion.

 

o 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.

 

o 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.

 

o 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.

 

o 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.

 

· Sales Volumes: Q2 2026 sales were 78,414 GEO, a 4% decrease QoQ but a 26% 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, up 30% YoY.

 

· Net Revenues: Q2 reached US$335,967, down 12% QoQ and up 76% YoY, driven by gold prices and production fluctuations. In H1 2026, Net Revenue was US$718,573, up 104% compared to the same period of last year.

 

o Average realized gold prices: Q2 2026: US$4,304/oz (-11% QoQ, +35% YoY). H1 2026: US$4,566/oz (+53% YoY).

 

o Average realized copper prices: Q2 2026: US$6.09/lb (+5% QoQ, +41% YoY). H1 2026: US$5.95/lb (+39% YoY).

 

· Adjusted EBITDA: Q2 hit US$196,659, down 19% QoQ and up 85% YoY. Driven by changes in production/sales and gold prices between the periods. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA hit US$ 440,527, up 135% YoY.

 

· AISC Performance: Q2 2026 AISC was US$1,985/GEO, up 9% QoQ and 37% 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, up 5% QoQ and 14% 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$37.2 million) had a bigger impact than favorable changes in working capital and 21% lower taxes paid. Compared to Q2 2025, RFCF increased by 33% mainly related to the higher sales and gold prices. In H1 2026, US$ 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.

 

o 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.

 

· 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.

The quarter benefited from higher production at Aranzazu, driven by favorable metal price dynamics in the copper-to-GEO conversion and at Almas, with 17% QoQ increase in ore plant feed drove production to 16,130 GEO, 2% above Q1 2026. Quarter-over-quarter, these performances were partially offset by lower grades at Apoena (from 0.8 g/t to 0.6 g/t), Borborema (from 1.41 g/t to 1.16 g/t) and MSG (from 1.54 g/t to 0.90 g/t), all in line with each mine's sequencing plans and in line with Aura’s annual Guidance. At constant metal prices, production decreased 9% compared to Q1 2026.

 

Compared to Q2 2025 production, the growth was mainly attributable to: (i) Declaration of commercial production at Borborema during Q3 2025; (ii) the addition of MSG; and (iii) Almas, up 34% on higher ore plant feed and improved operational performance from its ongoing plant expansion. These gains were partially offset by lower production at Apoena, down 31% on lower grades and recovery rates which are expected to improve during H2 2026; Minosa, down 21% on higher stacking levels within the leach pad and lower ore plant feed; and Aranzazu, down 20% in line with the mine plan. At constant metal prices, production increased 16% above Q2 2025.

 

In H1 2026, production reached a record 157,574 GEO, the highest first-half production in Aura's history, a 27% increase at current metal prices and also 27% at constant prices (158,448 GEO) compared to the 124,120 GEO produced in H1 2025. This growth was primarily driven by Borborema commercial production, the addition of MSG and Almas' performance, as described above.

In Q2 2026, the Company reported Net Revenue of US$336.0 million, representing a 76% increase compared to Q2 2025, mainly due to an increase in sales and more favorable metals prices, with the average gold price increasing by 35% and the average copper price increasing by 41% over the same period of 2025. When compared to Q1 2026, Aura’s Net Revenue decreased 12%, driven by the sales decrease, also due to lower average realized gold price.

 

In H1 2026, the Net Revenue was US$718.6 million, a 104% increase compared to the same period of 2025, primarily driven by the strong increase in production of 27% as discussed above and increase of 53% in the average realized gold price, which rose from US$2,986/oz in H1 2025 to US$4,566/oz in H1 2026.

In Q2 2026, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) totaled US$144.5 million, a 6% decrease compared to Q1 2026 and a 67% increase compared to Q2 2025. Compared to Q1 2026, the decrease was mainly driven by lower production and sales volumes (down 8% and 4%, respectively) and increase in work-in-progress inventory. Compared to Q2 2025, the increase in COGS was mainly driven by the Company's larger asset base following the addition of Borborema and MSG, with all cost lines increasing accordingly.

 

In the quarter, Gross Profit was US$191.5 million, down 16% from Q1 2026, considering the lower revenue as result of lower production and gold prices, but up 84 % from Q2 2025, due to higher revenues for the reasons discussed. Gross Margin was 57% in the quarter, slightly above YoY but down 3 p.p. QoQ for the same reasons.

 

In H1 2026, COGS totaled US$298.3 million, a 76% increase compared to US$169.9 million in H1 2025, mainly explained by the commercial production of Borborema and the addition of MSG to the Company's portfolio, which together added US$ 111.8 million in COGS in the period. Net Revenue more than doubled, up 104%, more than offsetting the increase in COGS and driving Gross Profit to US$420.3 million, a 130% increase compared to H1 2025, with Gross Margin expanding 7 p.p. to 58%.

In Q2 2026, Cash Cost was US$1,513/GEO, up 2% compared to Q1 2026, mainly reflecting the impact of MSG’s turn-around phase, whose Cash Cost increased 33% to US$3,852/GEO driven by lower production (more details on section 3.6) as the Company focuses on the primary development. Excluding MSG, Cash Cost was US$1,277/GEO, 2% below the Q1 2026, due to lower unitary costs at Aranzazu, Almas and Borborema — driven by metal price dynamics regarding GEO conversion, higher processed volumes and improved plant performance respectively — offset by an increase at Apoena, where Cash Cost rose 37% due to lower ore mined and grades during the development phase of the Nosde pit. Compared to Q2 2025, Cash Cost increased 32%, also due to MSG. Excluding this impact, Cash Cost had an 11% increase, mainly reflecting lower grades and mine sequencing effects at Apoena and Aranzazu, together with the appreciation of the Mexican Peso (of around 2%) and Brazilian Real during the period.

 

AISC totaled US$1,985/GEO in Q2 2026, increasing 9% QoQ and 37% YoY. Excluding MSG, AISC was US$1,653/GEO, a 5% increase compared to Q1 2026, mainly driven by higher Sustaining CAPEX at Almas, associated with the pushback of the open pit mine, and mine sequencing at Apoena.

 

In H1 2026, Cash Cost was US$1,499/GEO (US$1,287/GEO excluding MSG) and AISC was US$1,906/GEO (US$1,615/GEO excluding MSG), reflecting the impacts described above. The Company continues to expect consolidated 2026 Cash Cost and AISC to be within the Company's Guidance range, as results at MSG are expected to improve as the Company advances its turnaround strategy, Apoena's costs should benefit from the higher grades to be accessed later in the year once the Nosde development is completed, as well as the positive impacts of mine sequencing in H2 2026 from other operations.

General and Administrative expenses increased 43% compared to Q1 2026, primarily due to a non-recurring provision for judicial contingencies at Apoena of approximately US$4.7 million as well as expenses related to personnel turnover at MSG and professional fees for Era Dorada construction. Versus Q2 2025, G&A increased 99%, reflecting the consolidation of Borborema and MSG (which were not included in the prior-year results) together with these non-recurring legal impacts and higher professional fees related to the Era Dorada Project. In H1 2026, G&A totaled US$38.2 million, an 83% increase from US$20.9 million in H1 2025, mainly driven by the reasons above.

 

Exploration expenses totaled US$3.6 million in Q2 2026, an increase of 51% compared to Q1 2026 (US$2.4 million) and 108% compared to Q2 2025 (US$1.7 million). The QoQ increase was spread across the operating units, led by Almas totaling US$1.4 million in the quarter, followed by Aranzazu with US$1.1 million and Borborema with US$0.6 million. On a YoY basis and in H1 2026, the increase in both periods was led by the same units and in the same order of impact as the quarter.

 

The Company recorded net Other Income of US$9.9 million in Q2 2026, an improvement compared to the expense of US$5.4 million in Q1 2026 and compared to the income of US$0.1 million in Q2 2025. The QoQ variation was mainly driven by a US$11.0 million increase in the "Other income/expenses" line, mainly related to the sale of the São Francisco mine. For the H1 2026 period, the Company recorded net Other Income of US$4.5 million, compared to an expense of US$0.7 million in H1 2025, mainly reflecting the effects mentioned above.

 

The Company thus ended Q2 2026 with Operating Income of US$175.3 million, a decrease of 15% compared to US$205.3 million in Q1 2026, mainly reflecting lower Gross Profit in the quarter (down 16%, from US$228.8 million to US$191.5 million) and higher G&A expenses, partially offset by the positive Other Income. On a YoY basis, Operating Income increased 93% compared to US$91.0 million in Q2 2025, driven by the strong 84% growth in Gross Profit, which more than offset the increase in Operating Expenses.

 

For the H1 2026 period, Operating Income totaled US$380.6 million, an increase of 141% compared to US$157.7 million in H1 2025, reflecting the significant 130% increase in Gross Profit for the period, partially offset by growth in G&A and exploration expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA was US$196.7 million in Q2 2026, with an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 59%. Compared with the previous quarter, Adjusted EBITDA was down 19%, as lower average gold prices (US$4,304/oz, -12% QoQ), combined with lower sales volumes and G&A impacts. Compared with the Q2 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was 85% above, due to the sales increase – considering the inclusion of Borborema and MSG - and higher gold prices, which together more than offset the increase in costs and G&A.

 

In the first half of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$440.5 million, more than double of H1 2025 result (US$187.7 million), with a margin of 61% (vs. 53% in H1 2025), supported by a 30% increase in sales and a 53% jump in the average realized gold price

The Company’s Financial Result in Q2 2026 was a gain of US$61.0 million, an improvement compared to a loss of US$ (68.9) million recorded in Q1 2026 and a loss of (US$59.6) million in Q2 2025, impacted by:

 

· Unrealized gain on gold hedges of US$126.0 in Q2 2026, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting decrease in gold prices between the start and the end of the quarter, which closed the quarter at US$4,008.02 per Oz, coming from US$4,646.60 per Oz at the start of the period. In accordance with IFRS standards, the Company records MTM adjustments at the end of each reporting period for all outstanding derivative positions.

 

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

· Realized losses with gold hedges of US$37.2 million in Q2 2026 were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter.

 

· Other finance costs include pre-payment fees related to liability management of certain loans of the Company.

 

In H1 2026, the Financial Result was US$(7.9) million, an improvement compared to a loss of US$ (181.2) million recorded in H1 2025, impacted by:

 

· Unrealized gain on gold hedges of US$101.9 in H1 2026, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting a decrease in gold prices between the start and the end of the semester, which closed the period at US$4,008.02 per Oz, coming from US$4,386.30 per Oz at the end of 2025.

 

Realized losses with gold hedges of US$70.6 million in H1 2026 were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter. All of Aura’s outstanding gold collars (166,578 Ozs) are associated with the future production of Borborema and will expire between July/2026 and June/2028. As previously disclosed, an estimated 80% of the production for the first 3 years of the Borborema were hedged in 2023 at ceiling prices of US$2,400 per Oz.

Net Income in Q2 2026 was US$217.7 million, a record high and an increase when compared to a Net Income of US$95.2 in Q1 2026 as well as US$8.1 million in Q2 2025. Compared with Q1 2026, the increase was mainly due to the improvement in the Financial Result, as an unrealized gain of US$126.0 million on gold hedges was recorded in Q2 2026 versus an unrealized loss of US (24.1) million in Q1 2026, more than offsetting the sequential decline in Operating Income. Compared with Q2 2025, this improvement was mainly due to the increase in Operating Income and the unrealized gain on gold hedges in the quarter, resulting from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open hedge positions.

 

In H1 2026, Net Income reached US$312.8 million, compared to a Net Loss of US$(65.1) million in H1 2025, also mainly due to the improvement in Operating Income and MTM adjustments of gold hedge position, which shifted from an unrealized loss of US$(124.5) million in H1 2025 to an unrealized gain of US$101.9 million in H1 2026.

 

Adjusted Net Income

 

As a result of the increase in the Company's Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income in Q2 2026 was US$97.4 million, compared to US$36.8 million in Q2 2025, excluding:

Apply the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q2 2026: Copper price = US$6.09/lb; Gold Price = US$4,416/oz; Silver Price = US$71.45/oz and Molybdenum Price = US$29.71/oz.

 

At Aranzazu, Q2 2026 production reached 17,882 GEO, a 14% increase compared to Q1 2026 at current metal prices, mainly reflecting favorable metal price dynamics in the copper-to-GEO conversion: the average realized copper price rose 5% QoQ to $6.09/lb, while gold declined 9% to $4,416/oz and silver declined 14% to $71.45/oz. At constant metal prices, production increased 8% QoQ, driven by higher ore grades from mine sequencing — copper grade up 10% to 1.27%, gold grade up 7% to 0.72 g/t and silver grade up 9% to 18.5 g/t. Compared to Q2 2025, production decreased 20% at current prices and 24% at constant prices, mainly due to the mine plan and sequencing, with ore mined 4% lower, and grades declined across all metals (copper -20%, gold -20% and silver -17%) compounded by lower recoveries. In terms of sales, Aranzazu sold 17,764 GEO in Q2 2026, a 10% increase compared to Q1 2026 but a 20% decrease compared to Q2 2025, in line with the lower production discussed above. In H1 2026, Aranzazu produced 33,576 GEO at current metal prices (34,450 GEO at constant prices), a 21% decrease compared to both current and constant prices, consistent with the lower grades expected from mine sequencing during the first half of the year. Sales followed a similar trend, totaling 33,982 GEO in H1 2026 versus 42,746 GEO in H1 2025.

 

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

Aranzazu's Net Revenue in Q2 2026 was US$74.8 million, 8% higher compared to Q1 2026, primarily driven by higher copper prices and a higher volume of copper sold. Compared to Q2 2025, Net Revenue increased 20%, as significantly higher average prices realized across all metals more than offset lower sales volumes, in line with the Company's mine sequencing. In H1 2026, Net Revenue totaled US$144.0 million, 28% higher than the US$112.8 million recorded in H1 2025, following the same dynamic of higher metal prices that more than compensated for the lower sales volumes.

 

Cost of Goods Sold at Aranzazu remained broadly in line with Q2 2025 and decreased 3% compared to Q1 2026, reflecting continued focus on cost control. Cash Cost was US$1,409/GEO in Q2 2026, 10% lower than the previous quarter, driven by higher sales volumes and lower mine costs and impact on GEO conversion due to the reduction in gold prices in the quarter. Versus Q2 2025, Cash Cost rose 27%, almost entirely due to a 20% decline in production volume in line with the Company’s mine sequencing. AISC followed a similar pattern, reaching US$1,897/GEO in Q2 2026 — 7% lower than Q1 2026 thanks to the positive dilution effect of higher sales. Year-over-year, AISC increased 25%, primarily reflecting lower production volumes, despite stable COGS and reductions in CAPEX (-3%) and G&A (-10%). In H1 2026, Cost of Goods Sold was only 4% above H1 2025. Cash Cost averaged US$1,480/GEO (+30%) and AISC reached US$1,969/GEO (+29%), both mainly driven by lower production volumes in the period.

 

In the quarter, Aranzazu’s general and administrative expenses decreased 21%, to US$1.2 million, compared to Q1 2026, and another 18% decrease compared to Q2 2025, both periods impacted by lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses were almost in line with Q2 2026, and 44% above Q2 2025 mainly driven by increased exploration in regional targets. Despite the total expenses at Aranzazu decreased 37% in the quarter compared to Q1 2026 and increased 2% compared to Q2 2025, in H1 2026 total expenses was US$6.1 million, an increase of 27%, mainly due to exploration expenses, that increased 38%.

 

Aranzazu's Adjusted EBITDA reached US$47.4 million in Q2 2026, 15% higher than Q1 2026, mainly driven by higher net revenue due to increase in production and lower costs. Compared to Q2 2025, EBITDA also increased 33% due to higher revenues resulting from higher copper prices, despite lower production. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$88.8 million, a 47% increase compared to H1 2025. Net income totaled US$26.7 million in the quarter (+13% QoQ, +116% YoY) and US$50.4 million in H1 2026 (+130% YoY), for the same reason mentioned above.

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

At Apoena, Q2 2026 production totaled 5,704 GEO, a 24% decrease compared to Q1 2026, mainly due to a 26% decline in grade, from 0.80 g/t to 0.59 g/t, as expected due to mine sequencing, and also by a 2.1 p.p. decrease in recovery. Ore plant feed remained broadly in line with Q1 2026, while ore mined decreased 49%, reflecting the investment period in Nosde Phase 3 development. Compared to Q2 2025, production decreased 31%, primarily due to the same combination of 20% lower grades and lower recovery, down 1.8 p.p. Ore mined was 26% lower YoY, mainly reflecting the exhaustion of the Ernesto and Lavrinha pits during 2025, while ore plant feed declined 19%, due to the higher toughness of the Nosde ore compared to the previous year's ore.

 

In H1 2026, Apoena produced 13,229 GEO, a 23% decrease compared to the 17,095 GEO produced in H1 2025, mainly due to lower ore plant feed and lower grades over the semester. In the quarter and in the semester, Apoena sold the same amount as produced (5,704 GEO in Q2 2026 and 13,229 GEO in H1 2026), consistent with the Company's plan to achieve higher grades in the Nosde Pit during the second half of 2026.

 

Apoena’s Net Revenue totaled US$25.4 million for Q2 2026, 29% lower than Q1 2026, due to a decrease of 24% in sales and lower gold price, and 5% lower than Q2 2025, driven primarily by lower production. In H1 2026, Net Revenue totaled US$61.2 million, 15% increase compared to the same period of 2025, largely explained by the same reasons previously described.

 

In Q2 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled US$15.6 million, an increase 9%, driven largely by increase in ore mined and by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US dollar. Compared with Q1 2026, this result represented a 4% decrease, primarily driven by a 49% decrease in ore mined compared to Q1 2026. However, the focus on Nosde Phase pit expansion impacted directly the total material mined, which increased 22% QoQ, and the strip ratio (from 12.2x in Q1 2026 to 30.3x in Q2 2026). These factors, together with a lower recovery rate (90.5% in Q2 2026, vs. 92.4% in Q1 2026) and lower grades, which impacted directly the production, drove Cash Cost to US$1,886/GEO in the quarter, a 37% increase compared to Q1 2026. In Q2 2026, Apoena's AISC was US$2,668/GEO, 25% higher than Q1 2026, primarily reflecting the higher G&A described below. Considering these impacts, in H1 2026 AISC was US$2,362/GEO, 24% above the same period of 2025. These results are in line with the Company`s plan and Guidance, and cash costs and AISC are expected to decrease in H2 2026 as Apoena will reach higher grade ore material from the Nosde pit.

 

Apoena's general and administrative expenses in the quarter totaled US$5.5 million, 444% higher than Q1 2026 and 483% higher than Q2 2025, primarily explained by a non-recurring provision for judicial contingencies in Q2 2026. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased 19%, due to increased regional mapping activity in the Jiboinha, Guaporé-Sararé and Serra Dourada targets. Year-over-year, this expense increased 239%, for the same reason. In Q2 2026, the increase in G&A and in exploration expenses were offset by the sale of São Francisco, impacting the line “Other Income/Expenses. This effect also positively impacted H1 2026 compared to H1 2025.

 

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

Apoena's Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2026 reached US$13.7 million, a decrease of approximately 44% compared to Q1 2026 and 16% compared to Q2 2025, reflecting lower production and sales volumes as well as higher costs, as described above. During the quarter, Apoena recognized a non-recurring provision of US$4.7 million. As this was a one-time item, it was excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$37.9 million, a 28% increase compared to the same period of 2025, despite lower production and sales volumes and higher costs, the increase in gold prices more than offset these impacts, supporting an increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

At Minosa, Q2 2026 production totaled 14,284 GEO, an 18% decrease compared to Q1 2026, mainly driven by lower gold extraction (-8.1 p.p.) associated with the increase in stacking level within the leach pad. This effect was compounded by 10% lower ore plant feed, together with 5% lower grades. Compared to Q2 2025, production decreased 21%, primarily due to the same decline in extraction (-20.2 p.p.) for the same reasons described above. In terms of sales, Minosa sold 15,296 GEO, 12% lower than Q1 2026 and 14% lower than Q2 2025. In H1 2026, Minosa produced 31,683 GEO, an 11% decrease compared to the 35,693 GEO produced in H1 2025, consistent with the same leach pad level increased throughout the semester. Sales followed a similar trend, totaling 32,762 GEO in H1 2026 versus 35,362 GEO in H1 2025, an 7% decrease, directly reflecting the lower production volumes in the period.

 

Minosa's Net Revenue totaled US$64.3 million for Q2 2026, 20% lower than Q1 2026, mainly reflecting the lower production and sales volumes and gold prices decrease in the quarter. Compared to Q2 2025, Net Revenue increased 15%, driven by higher gold prices. In H1 2026, Minosa's Net Revenue reached US$144.3 million, a 39% increase compared to the US$103.8 million recorded in H1 2025, also due to the higher gold price.

 

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

In Q2 2026, Cost of Goods Sold totaled US$21.3 million, down 6% quarter-over-quarter and 3% year-over-year, driven by lower total ore mined (-22% QoQ and -9% YoY). Minosa’s Cash Cost reached US$1,308/oz, 10% higher than Q1 2026 and 11% higher than the US$1,178/oz recorded in Q2 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to lower production volume. AISC followed the same trend, rising to US$1,545/oz (+13% QoQ and -+20% YoY), primarily reflecting the impact above and higher Sustaining Capex, due to investment on the construction of the new leach pad.

 

G&A expenses were US$1.1 million in Q2 2026, 9% lower than Q1 2026 and 14% lower than Q2 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In H1 2026, G&A also decreased 9% for the same reason previously mentioned.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was US$43.2 million in Q2 2026, 26% lower than Q1 2026 (US$58.1 million), mainly explained by the combination of lower production and sales volume as well as lower realized gold price for Minosa. Compared to Q2 2025, Adjusted EBITDA increased 29%, from US$33.5 million to US$43.2 million, in line with the gold price increase. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$101.4 million, 67% higher than the US$60.6 million recorded in H1 2025.

At Almas, Q2 2026 production reached 16,130 GEO, a 2% increase compared to Q1 2026 and a 25% increase compared to Q2 2025, driven by higher ore processed volumes from the ongoing expansion project of the plant's operational capacity. Ore plant feed increased by 17% QoQ and 34% YoY, while total mined volumes increased by 31% QoQ and 16% YoY, also a reflection of the expansion. These gains were achieved despite a lower average grade resulting from the mine sequencing. In terms of sales, Almas sold 17,920 GEO in Q2 2026, higher than production as the last shipment of the previous quarter was in transit and was considered as Q2 2026 sale volume. In H1 2026, Almas produced 31,968 GEO, a 23% increase compared to the 26,018 GEO produced in H1 2025, driven mainly by 20% higher ore volumes and 30% higher ore plant feed, reflecting the results of the plant expansion. Sales in H1 2026 totaled 31,968 GEO, in line with production for the semester.

 

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

Net Revenue was US$79.3 million in Q2 2026, up 15% from Q1 2026 and 90% higher than Q2 2025, both periods impacted by higher production and sales, and compared to Q2 2025 there was also positive impact of higher gold prices. In H1 2026, Net Revenue totaled US$148.0 million, an 88% increase over H1 2025, for the same reasons previously mentioned.

 

Cost of Goods Sold totaled US$25.1 million in Q2 2026, up 16% from Q1 2026 and 39% from Q2 2025, primarily reflecting higher total ore mined (+31% QoQ and +16% YoY) as result of increase in total production capacity. In H1 2026, COGS reached US$46.8 million, 35% higher than the same period of 2025 for the same reason. Cash Cost was US$1,156/GEO in Q2 2026, 4% lower than Q1 2026 (US$1,204/GEO) and 1% lower than Q2 2025 (US$1,167/GEO), as higher production volumes more than offset the impact of lower grades. For the first half of 2026, Cash Cost averaged US$1,177/GEO, 5% above H1 2025. Almas’ All-in Sustaining Cost stood at US$1,626/GEO in Q2 2026, up 18% from the previous quarter, mainly due to higher Sustaining CAPEX mainly as result of the Paiol’s pit pushback mine development (which rose from US$1.6 million in Q1 2026 to US$7.6 million in Q2 2026) as planned by the Company. The same CAPEX increases versus Q2 2025 (+520%) also drove a 19% rise in AISC year-over-year. In H1 2026, AISC was US$1,516/GEO.

 

General and administrative expenses were US$1.0 million in Q2 2026, 8% lower than Q1 2026 and 29% below Q2 2025), mainly due to lower expenses in third party services in both periods. Exploration expenses were US$1.4 million in Q2 2026, up 53% from Q1 2026 and 233% above Q2 2025, mainly driven by the focus on Almas underground project. In H1 2026 exploration expenses totaled US$2.3 million, 253% higher than H1 2025.

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$56.2 million in Q2 2026, 13% higher than Q1 2026 (US$49.7 million) and 127% above Q2 2025 (US$24.7 million) for the reasons discussed above. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was US$105.9 million, 125% higher than H1 2025 (US$47.1 million).

At Borborema, Q2 2026 production totaled 14,251 GEO, a 17% decrease compared to Q1 2026, driven by lower grades, which declined 18%, from 1.41 g/t to 1.16 g/t, due to mine sequencing and as expected. This effect occurred despite higher ore mined, up 27% QoQ, and higher ore plant feed, up 5% QoQ. Compared on YoY, production increased significantly (+453%) as well as sales, since Borborema was in a pre-commercial production stage in Q2 2025. In terms of sales, Borborema sold 14,539 GEO in Q2 2026, a 12% decrease compared to Q1 2026. In H1 2026, Borborema produced 31,352 GEO.

 

Net Revenue was US$63.2 million in Q2 2026, down 23% from Q1 2026, driven by lower sales volumes and lower metal prices. In H1 2026, Net Revenue was US$ 145.2 million.

 

In Q2 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) decreased 28% compared to Q1 2026, reflecting 12% lower sales volumes in the quarter. In H1 2026, COGS was US$43.8 million. The Cash Cost was US$0,991/GEO in Q2 2026, a 17% decrease compared to Q1 2026 (US$1,200/GEO), due to a lower waste-to-ore ratio (from 2.69x to 2.10x), and higher recovery rates (from 88.4% to 90.3%), reflecting the re-stabilization of the CIL circuit — which had been impacted in Q1 2026 as previously disclosed. In H1 2026, Cash Cost was US$1,103/GEO. Borborema's AISC was US$1,102/GEO in Q2 2026, 12% lower than Q1 2026 (US$1,256/GEO), mainly due to the decrease in the Cash Cost and lower CAPEX. In H1 2026, AISC was US$1,184/GEO.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 5% in the quarter compared to Q1 2026 mainly due to higher expenses in services. Exploration expenses increased 176% compared to Q1 2026 because of an increase in studies of regional targets.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was US$47.3 million in Q2 2026, a 22% decrease compared to Q1 2026, reflecting 23% lower Net Revenue, impacted by lower production and sales in the quarter, as well as lower gold prices, partially offset by the lower Cash Cost.

AURA Q2 2026 | H1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

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 16% decrease compared to Q1 2026, driven by a decline in grade, from 1.54 g/t to 0.90 g/t, as surface and stockpile material — with lower grade than underground ore — represented a larger share of the plant feed in the quarter as the Company focuses on the primary development of the mine. This also impacts in a 4.6 p.p. decrease in recovery, to 87.7%. In terms of sales, MSG sold 7,190 GEO in Q2 2026, a 24% decrease compared to Q1 2026, also a consequence of the higher processed mass at lower grade. In H1 2026, MSG produced 15,766 GEO and sold 16,698 GEO.

 

Net Revenue was US$28.9 million in Q2 2026, down 38% from Q1 2026, impacted by a combination of lower sales volume and lower gold prices. MSG was more heavily impacted than the Company's other assets since production and sales in May and June — when prices gradually declined — accounted for a larger share of the quarter's sales. In H1 2026, Net Revenue was US$ 75.8 million.

 

In Q2 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) decreased 7% compared to Q1 2026, reflecting lower sales volumes in the quarter. In H1 2026, COGS was US$68.0 million. The Cash Cost was US$3,852/GEO in Q2 2026, a 33% increase compared to US$2,900/GEO in Q1 2026, mainly due to lower sales, as COGS increased 3% QoQ. MSG All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$5,277/GEO in Q2 2026, up 41% from US$3,735/GEO in Q1 2026. This reflects the Company's decision to focus on developing underground infrastructure upgrades as well as on the primary development of the mine, that are expected to improve operational performance in H2 2026. In H1 2026, AISC was US$4,399/GEO.

 

General and administrative expenses increased 28% quarter-over-quarter, negatively impacted by a non-recurring charge associated with personnel turnover at MSG. Exploration expenses increased 641% compared to Q1 2026 because of an increase in studies of regional targets.

 

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$(1.1) million in Q2 2026, a decrease compared to US$17.4 million in Q1 2026. In H1 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was US$16.3 million.

Recurring Free Cash Flow for the quarter was US$80.2 million, 15% lower than Q1 2026 and 33% higher than Q2 2025. The increase compared to Q2 2025 was mainly related to higher sales and gold prices, partially offset by higher CAPEX and realized losses on gold hedges. In H1 2026, Free Cash Flow was US$175.1 million, 107% higher than H1 2025.

_________________________________

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Aura Minerals, Inc.:

 

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

 

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position of Aura Minerals, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2026, the related condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss), other comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements). Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for it to be in conformity with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), other comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 31, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statements of financial position from which it has been derived.

 

Basis for Review Results

 

This condensed interim consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Aura Minerals Inc. (“Aura Minerals”, “Aura”, or the “Company”) is a mid-tier gold and copper production company focused on the operation and development of gold and base metal projects in the Americas.

 

Aura Minerals Inc. is a public company incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British Virgin Islands). The Company’s common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “AUGO” and its Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDRs”), with three BDRs representing one common share, are listed on the B3 – Brasil, Bolsa Balcão under the ticker symbol “AURA33”, now backed by common shares traded on Nasdaq following the approval issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) on August 29, 2025, which authorized the migration of the reference exchange of the underlying shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to Nasdaq. On September 8, 2025, the Company announced that its voluntary delisting from the TSX had been approved by its board of directors and the TSX, with effectiveness as of the close of trading on September 25, 2025.

Aura’s ultimate controlling party is Northwestern Enterprises Ltd (“Northwestern”), a company beneficially owned by the Chairman of the board of directors of Aura (the “Board”).

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) were approved by the Board of Directors on August 5, 2026.

 

2           BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Aura’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, ("2025 Annual Financial Statements").

 

The accounting policies followed in these Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 3 of 2025 Annual Financial Statements, except for those new or revised standards adopted as of January 1, 2026 as is the case with the amendments to IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. As disclosed in the 2025 Annual Financial Statements, these amendments have not had a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

3           ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

 

A number of new accounting standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2026 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Company has not early adopted the following new or amended accounting standards in preparing these Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

A – IFRS Presentation and disclosure in financial statements

IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The new standard introduces the following key new requirements:

-Entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statement of profit and loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly defined operating profit subtotal. Entities’ net profit will not change.
-Management defined performance measures (“MPMs”) are disclosed in a single note in the financial statements.
-Enhanced guidance is provided on how to group information in the financial statements.

 

In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the statement of cash flows when presenting operating cash flows under the indirect method.

 

The Company is still in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard, particularly with respect to the structure of the Company´s statement of profit and loss, the statement of cash flows and the additional disclosures required for MPMs. The Company is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the financial statements, including for the items currently labelled as ‘other’.

 

B – Other accounting standards

The following new amended accounting standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company´s Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

-Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (IFRS 19) - As the Company’s equity instruments are publicly traded, it is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19.

 

(a)New and amended standards and interpretations

 

The Company applied for the first time certain standards and amendments that are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) – effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. These amendments clarify requirements related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

4           MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements and to form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities. Management’s estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company has identified material accounting policies under which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made and where actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and could materially affect the Company’s financial results or statements of financial position reported in future periods.

 

Please refer to Note 4 of the 2025 Annual Financial Statements for a summary of the material accounting estimates and judgements which are consistent with those in the preparation of the financial statements. Management’s estimates and judgements are evaluated quarterly and are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual or future results may differ from these estimates.

 

5           ASSET HELD FOR SALE

 

On August 24, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with a potential buyer to sell all mineral rights, assets and liabilities related to the São Francisco Mine (part of the Apoena segment). The mine was under care and maintenance, and its property, plant and equipment were fully depreciated. The purchase price was established at $9,000. The Purchase and Sale Agreement included several conditions precedent that were required to be satisfied prior to closing.

 

In May 2026, the final condition precedent was fulfilled and the transaction was completed. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had received cash proceeds of $3,000 consisting of a $1,000 advance payment received upon execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and a $2,000 payment received upon closing of the transaction, with the remaining $6,000 recognized in Other receivables and assets ($1,000 as current and $5,000 as non-current). Upon closing, all assets and liabilities associated with the São Francisco Mine were derecognized, and the Company recognized a gain on disposal of $10,980 in Other income (Note 26).

The fair value effect of the Derivative Collars for the period ended June 30, 2026 is $101,908 ($124,514) in June 30, 2025), recorded as a finance income and finance expense, respectively, in the financial statements.

 

As of the date of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has no agreements in place with financial institutions which would require the Company to post cash or any other type of collateral to cover fair value exposure against the Company.

 

b)     Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company measures certain of its financials assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and these are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

 

1)Level 1, which are inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2)Level 2, which are inputs other than Level 1 quotes prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability; and,
3)Level 3, which are inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

Additionally, the Company classifies derivative assets and liabilities in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models which require a variety of inputs such as expected gold price.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized in the following table:

Contingent consideration (NSR) 21,963 23,643   Expected production of gold ounces 298,792 315,481   If expected production of gold ounces were 10% higher or lower, the fair value would increase/decrease by $192.

 

(a)The Company assessed the probability of achieving commercial production, over various time horizons, primarily within a 0 to 20-year range, while also recognizing a residual probability of timelines extending beyond 20 years. If expected commercial production probability varies by 10% on the lower and higher ends of these time horizons, the fair value would increase or decrease by $1,921.

 

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of non-property items required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values.

Valuation process - Liability measured at fair value

The main level 3 inputs used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:

- Discount rates for financial assets and financial liabilities are determined using a capital asset pricing model to calculate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset.

- Risk adjustments specific to the counterparties (including assumptions about credit default rates) are derived from credit risk gradings determined by internal credit risk management group.

 

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

 

Input 2026 2025
WACC 11.50% 11.50%
Credit-risk 2.70% 2.70%
Expected volatility 16.40% 15.20%

 

Valuation process - Contingent Value Rights (CVRs)

The fair value of the Contingent Value Rights is determined using a scenario-based valuation model that incorporates management’s assessment of the probability and timing of achieving commercial production at the Era Dorada Project.

 

The main level 3 inputs used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:

- The probability-weighted timing of commercial production is based on scenarios provided by management, covering multiple time horizons up to 20 years, with a residual probability assigned to production commencing beyond this period.

- Discount rates applied to the expected cash flows are determined based on a risk-free rate derived from U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities consistent with the expected payment dates, adjusted by a credit spread that reflects the Company’s credit risk, consistent with market data for comparable issuers.

 

Valuation process - Deferred consideration (NSR)

The fair value of the deferred consideration related to the Net Smelter Return (NSR) agreement is determined using a discounted cash flow model that estimates future royalty payments based on expected production profiles and commodity price assumptions.

The main level 3 inputs used by the Company are derived and evaluated as follows:

- Expected production volumes are based on life-of-mine production forecasts prepared by management and technical studies, reflecting current mine plans and operational assumptions.

- Discount rates applied to the expected royalty cash flows are determined using a capital asset pricing model to estimate a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset, including country, operational and project-specific risks.

- Commodity price assumptions are based on consensus forecasts obtained from market participants, which are publicly available.

 

Fair value of loans and other financial liability

The Company considers that for the loans, that are recorded at their contractual value and other financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, their book values are close to their fair values and therefore information on their fair values is not being presented.

 

28       FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

a)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through a planning and budgeting process, which is reviewed and updated, to help determine the funding requirements to support the Company’s current operations and expansion and development plans and by managing its capital structure as described in Note 29 below.

 

Aura’s objective is to ensure that there are sufficient committed financial resources to meet its short-term business requirements for a minimum of twelve months. In the normal course of business, Aura enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future payments as disclosed in the following table:

 

2026  Within
1 year
   2 to 3
years
   4 to 5
years
   Over 5
years
   Total 
Trade and other payables   183,166    -    -    -    183,166 
Loans and debentures   97,954    260,720    175,753    -    534,427 
Provision for mine closure and restoration   5,094    13,246    26,680    48,739    93,759 
Lease liabilities   16,526    258    97    -    16,881 
Liability measured at fair value   7,934    19,262    22,537    5,858    55,591 
    310,674    293,486    225,067    54,597    883,824 

 

As of June 30, 2026, Aura has cash and cash equivalents of $ 248,322 ($286,056: 2025) and current assets, excluding restricted cash less current liabilities of $26,480 ($16,843: 2025).

Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except where otherwise noted.

 

b)Currency risk

 

Aura’s operations are located in Honduras, Brazil and Mexico, therefore, foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Although Aura’s sales are denominated in United States dollars, certain operating expenses of Aura are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Honduran lempira, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, Colombian peso, Guatemalan Quetzals and Barbadian Dollars.

 

Financial instruments that impact Aura’s net losses or other comprehensive losses due to currency fluctuations include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short and long term loans and other provisions denominated in foreign currency.

 

At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 248,322 and $286,056, respectively, of which, $ 194,109 ($257,374 in 2025) were in United States dollars, $191 ($192 in 2025) in Canadian dollars, $50,990 ($19,946 in 2025) in Brazilian reais, $2,633 ($8,305 in 2025) in Honduran lempiras, $120 ($126 in 2025) in Mexican pesos, $14 ($18 in 2025) in Colombian Pesos, $262 ($90 in 2025) in Guatemalan Quetzals and $4 ($6 in 2025) in Barbadian Dollars. An increase or decrease of 5% in the United States dollar exchange rate to the currencies listed above could have increased or decreased the Company’s income for the year by $ 2,711.

 

c)Interest rate risk

 

The Company’s policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. Longer-term borrowings are therefore usually at fixed rates. As of June 30, 2026, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through a bank borrowing at SOFR interest rate at its subsidiary Aranzazu. All other borrowings are at fixed interest rates or are linked to a swap instrument, minimizing the risk of interest rate exposure.

 

d)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, trade and other receivables. The credit risk is managed based on the Company’s credit risk management policies and procedures.

 

The credit risk in respect of cash balances held with banks and deposits with banks are managed via diversification of bank deposits.

 

At June 30, 2026, the Company believes that its trade credit risk is low due to the following reasons:

For the sales of refined gold from Almas, Apoena, Borborema, Serra Grande and Minosa, the Company collects payments in advance or at the time of delivering its products to its clients.

- For the sale of copper and gold concentrate from Aranzazu, the Company sells its products to wholly-owned subsidiary of Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd, an investment grade company. The accounts receivable are generally collected within 15 days from the issuance of the invoice.

 

e)Market risk

 

Commodity derivatives transactions – Gold collars

As mentioned in Note 27, the Company uses gold collars in order to mitigate the risk of decline in gold prices for a portion of its projected future production associated with the construction of new projects.

To calculate an expected increase / decrease in the fair value balances of potential increases or decrease in gold prices, the Company used a variation of plus or minus 10% change in gold prices in relation to the June 30, 2026 closing prices.

 

Liability measured at fair value

As mentioned in Note 14, the Company entered a Net Smelter Return Royalty Agreement that contains more than one embedded derivative, that is being accounted at fair value through profit or loss, and it is exposed to gold prices that can affect its future cashflows.

 

Gold linked Loan

Borborema Inc entered into a Gold-Linked Loan with embedded derivatives measured at fair value through profit and loss that has quarterly payments of gold ounces that are exposed to gold prices that can affect its future cashflows.

 

To simulate the reasonable scenario to reflect the potential effects on the statement of income (loss) from outstanding transactions, the Company used a variation in the closing and future gold price of 10%. The sensitivity analysis of these derivative financial instruments is presented as follows:

 

Instrument Instrument´s main risk events Reasonable scenario $ Impact
Derivative financial instruments (Gold collars) Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 69,630
Liability measured at fair value Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 3,450
Loans and debentures (Gold linked loan) Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 615
Contingent consideration (NSR) Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 2,196

29       CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

Aura’s objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained in order to properly develop and operate its current projects and pursue strategic growth initiatives, to ensure that externally imposed capital requirements related to any debt obligations are complied with, and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. In assessing the capital structure of the Company, management includes in its assessment the components of shareholders’ equity and long-term debt. The Company manages its capital structure considering changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets, and the Company’s liquidity requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may be required to issue common shares or debt, repay existing debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust amounts of certain investments.

 

In order to facilitate management of capital, the Company prepares annual budgets which are updated periodically if changes in the Company’s business are considered to be significant. The Board of Directors of the Company reviews and approves all operating and capital budgets as well as the entering into of any material debt obligations, and any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including dispositions, acquisitions and other investments or divestitures. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares to reduce debt.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2026, Aura’s Board of Directors declared and approved the payment of quarterly dividends on February 26 and May 6, 2026, totaling US$55.1 million and US$65.4 million, respectively. These dividends corresponded to $0.66 and $0.78 per common share, and $0.22 and $0.26 per Brazilian Depositary Receipt, respectively. The dividends were paid on March 26 and May 26, 2026, respectively, to holders of the Company’s common shares, and on or around April 7 and June 5, 2026, respectively, to holders of the Company’s BDRs.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, Aura’s Board of Directors declared and approved the payment of quarterly dividends on February 26, May 5, August 5, and November 4, 2025, totaling $18.3 million, $29.8 million, $27.6 million, and $40.1 million, respectively. These dividends corresponded to $0.25, $0.40, $0.33, and $0.48 per common share, and $0.08, $0.13, $0.11, and $0.16 per Brazilian Depositary Receipt, respectively.

Certain conditions may exist on the date of these financial statements that could result in a loss to the Company in the future upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of specific events. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its loss contingencies related to ongoing legal proceedings by assessing the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and the amounts claimed or expected to be claimed.

 

33       PROFIT (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic profit per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted income per share is calculated using the “treasury stock method” in assessing the dilution impact of convertible instruments until maturity. The treasury stock method assumes that all convertible instruments until maturity have been converted in determining fully diluted profit per share if they are in-the-money, except where such conversion would be anti-dilutive. In the event of a share consolidation or share division, the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share is adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented.
