Aura Minerals Inc. furnishes a detailed corporate presentation describing its diversified gold and copper operations, strong recent performance and multi‑year growth plan across the Americas.
For 2025, Aura reports production of 280 thousand gold equivalent ounces, net revenue of US$922 million, Adjusted EBITDA of US$548 million at an average realized gold price of US$3,446/oz, and recurring free cash flow of US$254 million. Cash conversion reached 67% and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 0.28x, reflecting a strong balance sheet.
The company highlights six operating mines, two development projects and one exploration project, supported by over US$587 million of growth and exploration capital since 2022 and US$314 million returned to shareholders via dividends and buybacks since 2021. 2026 guidance calls for consolidated production between 236–278 thousand GEO with higher sustaining and expansion capex to fund projects such as Borborema, Era Dorada, Matupá, expansions at Almas and optimization of the recently acquired Mineração Serra Grande asset.
Aura Minerals reported a credit rating upgrade from S&P Global Ratings. The issuer rating on the global scale was raised from ‘B+’ to ‘BB-’ with a stable outlook, while the Brazilian National Scale rating increased from ‘brAA’ to ‘brAA+’ with a stable outlook. The rating on debentures issued by Aura Almas Mineração S.A. was also upgraded from ‘brAA’ to ‘brAA+’. S&P cited record-high gold prices, rising production, robust EBITDA and cash flow, low adjusted gross debt to EBITDA, and solid liquidity as key factors. Aura’s CEO highlighted a growth strategy targeting 340k–390k GEO in 2026 and aiming to exceed 600k GEO in later years.
Aura Minerals reports record operating results for Q4 and full-year 2025 while posting an accounting net loss driven by hedge marks. Q4 production reached 82.1k gold-equivalent ounces (GEO), up 23% year over year, with 2025 production of 280.4k GEO, landing in the upper half of guidance.
Adjusted EBITDA hit a record US$207.9 million in Q4 and US$547.8 million for 2025, but non-cash mark-to-market losses of US$81.7 million on gold collars drove a Q4 net loss of US$20 million and full-year net loss of US$80.8 million. Excluding these, adjusted net income was positive at US$73 million in Q4 and US$206 million for 2025.
Recurring free cash flow reached US$96 million in Q4 and US$256 million for the year, helping end 2025 with net debt of US$117.6 million, or 0.3x last-twelve-month EBITDA, even after acquiring Mineração Serra Grande and funding growth projects. Safety performance remained strong, with 18 consecutive months without lost-time incidents.
At the Borborema project, reserves increased to 1.5 million ounces, supporting a new feasibility study with an after-tax NPV of US$612.5 million and IRR of 42.8%. For 2026, Aura guides production up to 340–390k GEO but expects higher all-in sustaining costs, mainly from integrating MSG, higher metal prices, and mine sequencing.
Aura Minerals announced that its board has declared a cash dividend of US$0.66 per common share, totaling approximately US$55.12 million. The dividend will be paid on March 18, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 11, 2026.
Holders of Brazilian Depositary Receipts will receive US$0.22 per BDR, with payment expected on or around March 26, 2026 in Brazilian Reais, based on a market exchange rate set just before payment. Management states this payout is above the minimum under the company’s dividend policy and contributes to a trailing 12‑month dividend and buyback yield of 6.2%.
Aura Minerals reported a strong 2025 operationally, with gold-equivalent production of 280,414 GEO, up 5%, and record net revenue of US$921.7M, a 55% increase. Higher metal prices and new contributions from Borborema and MSG helped drive record adjusted EBITDA of US$547.8M, more than double 2024, for a 59% margin.
Despite this, Aura posted a net loss of US$79.3M, mainly from US$281.5M in unrealized losses on gold hedging collars, plus higher current taxes. Net debt fell 32% year over year to US$117.6M, or 0.28x last‑12‑month EBITDA, after funding US$179.4M of capex, the MSG mine acquisition, and US$115.8M of dividends and buybacks.
For 2026, Aura guides total production of 340,000–390,000 GEO, supported by Borborema’s first full year, an MSG turnaround plan, and capacity improvements at Almas and Apoena. An updated Borborema feasibility study increased reserves by 82% to 1.5 million ounces, extending mine life to 21 years.
