·Total production in Q2 2025 reached 64,033 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), 7% higher than Q1 2025 and in line compared to the same period last year at current metal prices. At constant metal prices, production increased by 9% when compared to both Q1 2025 and Q2 2024.  During the quarter, Aura commenced operations at Borborema — anticipated to be one of the Company’s largest and lowest cash cost operations. In H1 2025, production was 124,120 GEO an increase when compared to the result of H1 2024 of 122,680 GEO, at constant prices. Compared to the public guidance for 2025, this total production represents 47% of the low proposed guidance and 41% of the high proposed guidance, reinforcing the Company's confidence in meeting the 2025 production guidance, since Borborema is still in the ramp up phase.

 

·Sales volumes was 62,452 in GEO this quarter, a decrease by 1% in Q2 2025 from Q2 2024 and increased by 3% when compared to the previous quarter. This result in the quarter was in line with Aura’s expectation, reflecting Apoena mine’s investment phase and also due to lower sales volumes at Aranzazu, considering the negative impact of the copper to gold conversion (despite the total sale copper was 16,815 Klb, a 30% increase compared to Q2 2024 and 23% higher than Q1 2025) and Minosa, all partially offset by the

·preliminary production of Borborema and higher sales volumes at Almas. Compared to the same period of 2024, sales decreased mainly due to lower production at Minosa and Apoena, gold prices that negatively impacted GEO conversion at Arazanzu. In H1 2025, sales volumes decreased by 7%, mainly due to lower sales volumes at Aranzazu (due to GEO conversion), Apoena and Minosa.

 

·Net Revenues reached a record high of US$190,436 in Q2 2025, representing an increase of 42% compared to Q2 2024 and an increase of 18% when compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher gold price. In H1 2025, revenues reached US$352,240, an increase of 32% compared to the same period of 2024.

 

oAverage net realized gold sale prices increased by 14% in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025, with an average of US$3,185/oz in the quarter. Compared to Q2 2024, average net realized gold sale prices increased 44% (US$2,208). In H1 2025, average net realized gold sale prices reached US$2,986, a 42% increase when compared to H1 2024.

 

oAverage realized copper sale prices increased 5% compared to Q1 2025, with an average of US$4.46/lb in the quarter, and were in line with the same period in 2024. In H1 2025, average copper sale prices reached US$4.36, a 5% increase when compared to H1 2024.

 

·Adjusted EBITDA reached another record high of US$106,224 in Q2 2025, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly record reported by Aura. The increase was driven by a combination of higher gold prices, cash costs under control and increase in sales in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025. When compared to Q2 2024, Adjusted EBITDA reached a 90% increase.

 

·AISC for Q2 2025 was US$1,449/GEO, a decrease by 1% when compared to Q1 2025 (US$1,461/GEO) and an increase of 9% over the Q2 2024, in line with the Company’s expectations. At constant Q2 2024 metal prices, AISC would have been US$1,312 in the quarter, a decrease of 1% compared to Q2 2024, due to lower AISC at Almas, Aranzazu (at constant prices) and Apoena.

 

·The Company's Net Debt reached US$280,560 by Q2 2025, due to capex of US$50.3 million, mostly related to the final phase of construction of the Borborema Project, dividends of US$29.8 million, annual income taxes paid of US$29.5 million and reduction of US$13.7 million in debt due to the settlement of Nemesia SARL debt related to the Bluestone acquisition. The net debt-to-last 12 months EBITDA ratio reduced to 0.8x at the end of Q2 2025, from 0.9x at the end of Q1 2025.

Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q2 2025: Copper price = US$4.39/lb; Gold Price = US$3,293/oz; Silver Price = US$34.27/oz.

 

Total production in Q2 2025 reached 64,033 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), 7% higher than Q1 2025 and in line compared to the same period last year at current metal prices, mainly due to negative impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu. At constant metal prices, production increased by 9% when compared to both Q1 2025 and Q2 2024. The result was mainly attributable to stronger operational performance at Aranzazu, which posted higher metallurgical recoveries and improved head grades for all metals, on both an annual and quarterly basis

 

During the quarter, Aura commenced operations at Borborema — anticipated to be one of the Company’s largest and lowest cash cost operations. In the quarter, Borborema’s preliminary production totaled 2,577 GEO, following the project’s first gold pour. The project was completed on schedule, within 19 months, and on budget and Aura expects to achieve to declare Borborema commercial production by the end of Q3 2025.

 

In the first half of 2025, production reached 124,120 GEO, representing a 6% decline at current metal prices. At constant prices — which neutralize the effect of copper price fluctuations in the GEO conversion at Aranzazu — this reflects an increase over the 122,259 GEO produced in H1 2024. . At current metal prices, production in Q2 2025 was consistent with Q2 2024, and year-to-date production represents 47% of the lower end and 41% of the upper end of the full-year guidance. This performance reinforces the Company’s confidence in meeting its 2025 targets, especially considering that Borborema is still in the ramp-up phase. Excluding Borborema, total production to date accounts for 52% of the lower bound and 47% of the upper bound of the guidance range.

Total     190,436     161,804 18%     134,411 42%     352,240     266,489 32%

  

In Q2 2025, the Company reported Net Revenue of US$190.4 million, representing a 42% increase year-over-year and an 18% increase compared to Q1 2025. The strong performance was primarily driven by the higher metal prices, particularly gold, with the average realized gold price increasing by 44%, from US$2,208/oz in Q2 2024 to

 

AURA Q2 2025 | H1 2025 EARNINGS RESULTS

 

 

 

 

US$3,185/oz in Q2 2025. Copper prices also contributed positively, with the average realized copper price increasing by 5%, from US$4.26/lb in Q2 2024 to US$4.46/lb in Q2 2025.

 

With this result, Net Revenues reached US$352,240 in H1 2025, an increase of 32% when compared to the same period of 2024. The result was mainly driven by higher gold prices, higher sales at Almas and the start of the Borborema Project.  In H1 2025, average net realized prices reached US$2,986, a 42% increase when compared to H2 2024; and average copper prices reached US$4.36/lb, a 5% increase when compared to H2 2024.

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company’s Cash Cost was US$1,146/GEO, an increase of 6% over Q2 2024 and in line with Q1 2025, even with the preliminary production of Borborema. Year-on-year, the increase in cash cost was mainly attributed to the increase in costs at Aranzazu, mainly due to impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion in production. At constant Q2 2024 metal prices, Cash Costs decreased by 4%. Quarter-over-quarter, cost improvements at Aranzazu and Apoena were sufficient to offset higher costs at Almas, which faced a decrease in grades as anticipated in the mine sequencing plan.

 

In H1 2025, Cash Cost averaged US$1,147/oz, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period in 2024, the increase was primarily driven by the impact of the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu and lower production at Apoena, as expected. At constant H1 2024 metal prices, Cash Costs increased by 2%

 

The consolidated All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,449 per GEO, representing a 9% increase compared to Q2 2024 and a 1% decrease versus Q1 2025, in line with the cash cost trend. When calculated using constant metal prices from Q2 2024, AISC for the quarter would have been US$1,312 per GEO, a decrease of 1%. In H1 2025, AISC was US$1,455, a 11% increase compared to H1 2024. At constant H1 2024 metal prices, AISC increased by 3%.

Operating Expenses totaled US$13.0 million in the quarter, 18% higher than Q1 2025 and 24% higher than Q2 2024. The result for the quarter was mainly impacted by higher General & Administrative (G&A) expenses, driven by increased professional and consulting fees, as well as audit cost adjustments primarily related to the Company’s U.S. listing. In H1 2025, there was a 16% increase in Operational Expenses due to a 39% increase in G&A, partially offset by a 37% reduction in Exploration Expenses.

 

Exploration expenses totaled US$1.7 million in Q2 2025, a 25% increase compared to Q1 2025 and 42% reduction from Q2 2024. Exploration activities in the quarter were concentrated in Almas and Minosa. In Matupá, efforts were focused on expanding reserves in regions close to X1, Pé Quente and other strategic areas. In Carajás, exploration work successfully confirmed copper mineralization, significantly expanding the mineral potential of the region. In H1 2025, the reduction of the Q2 2025 partially compensated the higher expenses in Q1 2025, closing the semester with a 37% reduction, in line with the Company’s plan and due to the capitalization of exploration expenses in certain targets.

 

The Company thus ended Q2 2025 with Operating Income of US$90.9 million, compared to an Operating Income of US$40.8 million in Q2 2024, also higher compared to the Operating Income of Q1 2025 of US$67.4 million, which reflects a positive result of higher gross profit.

 

2.6. Adjusted EBITDA

 

(US$ thousand) Q2 2025 Q1 2025 % Q2 2024 % H1 2025 H1 2024 %
Operating Income 90,941 67,416 35% 40,826 123%        158,357          77,286 105%
Depreciation and Amortization 15,283 14,063 9% 15,346 0% 29,346 31,553 -7%
Ajdusted EBITDA 106,224 81,479 30% 56,172 89% 187,703 109,398 72%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 56% 50% 5 p.p. 42% 14 p.p. 53% 41% 12 p.p.

  

Adjusted EBITDA reached a new all-time high of US$106.2 million in Q2 2025, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly record for Aura. The Company’s ongoing commitment to improving asset productivity and maintaining disciplined cost control enabled it to fully capture the benefit of rising metal prices. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA doubled compared to Q2 2024 and grew 30% over Q1 2025.

 

The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by strong cost control – only 4% increase - and higher gold and copper prices. This result was also noted on the EBITDA margin gain of 14 p.p. Compared to Q1 2025, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was supported not only by stronger metal prices and also by a 3% increase in sales volume.

The Company’s Financial Result in Q2 2025 was US$(59.6) million, following on from the US$(121.6) million loss in Q1 2025, impacted by:

 

·Unrealized loss on gold hedges in Q2 2025, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting increase in gold prices between the start and the end of the quarter, which closed the quarter at US$3,288.57 per Oz, coming from US$2,861.93 per Oz on March 31, 2025. In accordance with IFRS standards, the Company records MTM adjustments at the end of each reporting period for all outstanding derivative positions.

·Realized losses with gold hedges in Q2 2025 were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter.

·Non-cash loss of US$8.8 million related to the settlement of the Nemesia SARL debt with equity instruments, reflecting the difference between the fair value of the shares at the time when the shares were issued and the carrying amount of the debt acquired in the Bluestone transaction at the closing of the transaction.

 

Most of Aura’s outstanding gold collars (225,996 Ozs out of about 234,598 Ozs) are associated with the future production of the Borborema Project and will expire between Jul/2025 and Jun/2028. As previously disclosed, about 80% of the production of the first 3 years of the Borborema Project is hedged at ceiling prices of US$2,400.

Net Income in Q2 2025 was US$8.1 million, an increase when compared to a Net Loss of US$(25.8) in Q2 2024 and US$(73.2) in Q1 2025. This improvement vs. Q2 2024 and Q1 2025 was mainly due to the improvement in the Operating Income during Q2 2025. In addition, compared to Q1 2025, there was a decrease in Finance Costs in the quarter, related to a lower unrealized loss on gold hedges in Q2 2025, which resulted from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open hedge positions, driven by increase in gold price between the start and the end of the quarter

 

In H1 2025, Net Loss reached US$(65.1), also mainly due to mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open hedge positions, driven by increase in gold price between the start and the end of the semester.

Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q2 2025: Copper price = US$4.39/lb; Gold Price = US$3,293/oz; Silver Price = US$34.27/oz.

 

In the second quarter of 2025, Aranzazu production reached 22,281 GEO, representing an increase of 9%, at current prices, and 17% at constant prices, when compared to the previous quarter, resulting from higher grades and better recoveries, despite the increase in gold prices which negatively impacted the conversion to GEO. When compared to Q2 2024, production decreased by 14% due to the sharp increase in gold prices between the periods which also impacted GEO conversion. At constant prices, Aranzazu production increased by 15%, also due to higher grades and a recovery improvement.

 

Aranzazu’s Net Revenue totaled US$62.5 million for Q2 2025, 24% higher than Q1 2025. Net Revenue grew 27% compared to Q2 2024, driven by higher metal prices. In H1 2025, the Net Revenue of Aranzazu reached US$112.8 million, a 21% increase compared to H1 2024.

 

The Cash Cost was US$1,110/GEO for the quarter, 5% lower than Q1 2025 and 16% higher than Q2 2024. In H1 2025, Cash Cost increased by 21%, with a total of US$1,136/GEO in the semester. Aranzazu`s AISC was US$1,514 in the quarter, representing a 26% increase compared to the same period last year mainly due to differences in metal prices. At constant metal prices, AISC decreased by 3% when compared to Q2 2024. The decrease in AISC versus last year is a result from higher grades and recoveries, in line with planned mine sequencing, partially offset by higher investments in primary development and tailing dams. In H1 2025, the AISC was US$1,248, an increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2024 at same metal prices.

 

The cost discipline aligned with better productivity drove the Adjusted EBITDA to US$35.7 million in Q2 2025, 46% higher than Q1 2025 and 55% higher than Q2 2024. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$60.1 million, an increase of 45% over H2 2024. Aranzazu’s Net Income totaled US$12.3 million in Q2 2025, a 27% increase compared to Q2 2024, and US$21.9 million in H1 2024.

In the second quarter of 2025, Apoena production was in line with expectations and at 8,219 GEO, a 17% decrease from Q2 2024, primarily due to the mine’s investment phase focusing on opening the Nosde Phase III pit, and lower ore grades as result. Compared to Q1 2025, production decreased 7%, consistent with the mine plan, as lower-grade ore was mined. Despite this decrease, production remains in line with the Company’ full year 2025 expectations. Pre-stripping activities are underway while we push back the Nosde and Lavrinha mines to regain access to higher volume and higher grades by end of 2026 at Nosde Phase III.

 

Apoena’s Net Revenue totaled US$26.7 million for Q2 2025, in line with Q1 2025. Compared to Q2 2024, the significant increase of 41% mainly due to the higher gold price, offsetting the lower production. In H1 2025, Apoena reached a Net Revenue of US$53.1 million, an increase of 18% compared to H1 2024.

 

The Cash Cost was US$1,168/GEO for the quarter, a 5% decrease versus Q1 2025 and 7% lower than Q2 2024. Apoena’s AISC was US$ 1,751/GEO in Q2 2025, a drop of 14% versus Q1 2025 and a decrease of 11% compared to Q2 2024, mainly driven by increase in the proportion of costs capitalized as expansion capex, related to the Nosde pit. In H1 2025, the AISC was US$1,906, an increase of 27% compared to the same period in 2024, which was expected considering the mine sequencing. Despite the ongoing investments in expansion, which have temporarily impacted production, the focus on cost control combined with higher gold prices drove Adjusted EBITDA to US$16.1 million in Q2 2025, up 114% compared to Q2 2024 and 19% higher than Q1 2025. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$29.7 million, an increase of 29% over H2 2024.

 

Apoena’s net income totaled US$8.8 million in Q2 2025, a 91% increase over Q1 2025 and a significant improvement from the net loss of US$3.5 million recorded in Q2 2024 resulting in a net income of US$13.4 million in the H1 2025, an increase of 998% when compared to H1 2024.

In the second quarter of 2025, Minosa produced 18,039 GEO, up 2% when compared to the previous quarter, resulting from higher grades processed during the quarter due to mine sequencing. When compared to the same quarter last year, production decreased by 6%, primarily due to lower stacking volumes in Q2 2025, impacted by higher rainfall levels during the period and was in line with the Company’s expectations.

 

Net Revenue totaled US$55.8 million in Q2 2025, up 16% from Q1 2025, due to higher gold prices and sales volumes, while in comparison to Q2 2024 it grew 33%, mainly due to the increase in the price of gold over the period. In H1 2025, Net Revenue reached US$103.8 million, 30% higher than H1 2024.

 

The Cash Cost was US$1,178/GEO in Q2 2025, 3% higher than Q1 2025 and 8% higher than Q2 2024, due to lower production as result of the lower stacking volumes. In H1 2025, Cash Cost was US$1,164/GEO, 2% increase compared to H1 2024, due to lower grades and slightly higher mine costs. Considering these effects, All-In Sustaining Cost totaled US$1,292/GEO for the quarter, an increase of 3% compared to Q1 2025 and 12% compared to Q2 2024.

 

The Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$33.5 million in Q2 2025, up 84% versus Q2 2024, reflecting the positive impact of a strong cost control and higher gold prices, while it was up 25% versus Q1 2025. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$60.4 million, an increase of 84%.

During Q2 2025, Almas produced 12,917 GEO, consistent with Q1 2025 (13,101 GEO). Compared to Q2 2024, production increased by 22%, driven by the plant expansion and improved mine performance, reflecting the benefits of the transition to the new mine contractor during Q2 2024.

 

Net Revenue was US$41.7 million in Q2 2025, 72% higher than Q2 2024, impacted by higher sales and metal prices. Versus Q1 2025, Net Revenue was up 12%, mainly driven by a significant increase in the price of gold. In H1 2025, Net Revenue was US$78.9 million, a 63% increase compared to H1 2024, resulting from the higher volumes sold and prices increased.

 

The Cash Cost was US$1,167/GEO in Q2 2025, 3% lower than Q2 2024, due to the higher production volumes which offset the higher strip ratio, and lower grades. Compared to Q1 2025, The Cash Cost increased 9%, resulting from a grade reduction already expected by the mine segmentation. Almas’ AISC was US$1,364/GEO for the quarter, 5% lower compared to Q2 2024, primarily driven by improved operational performance as discussed before along with lower Capex during the quarter. Versus Q1 2025, AISC increased 14%. In H1 2025, the AISC was US$1,364, a decrease of 5% compared to the same period in 2024, mainly as result of the successful change in mine contractor during Q2 2024.

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$24.7 million in Q2 2025, more than doubled of the Q2 2024 result, driven by plant expansion, improved operating performance, higher volumes processed and an increase in the price of gold. Compared with the Q1 2025, the Adjusted EBITDA was 11% higher than Q1 2025, explained by higher gold prices in the period. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was US$47.1 million, 123% higher than H1 2024.

 

Almas’ Net Income was US$16.1 million in Q2 2025, compared to US$11.1 in Q1 2025, also higher than the Loss of Q2 2024 of US$(1.4) million.

The Borborema production in Q2 2025 totaled 2,577 GEO following the project’s first gold pour. The Borborema Project has begun the ramp-up phase on schedule and to budget. The Company expects to achieve commercial production by the third quarter of 2025. Borborema is set to become one of Aura’s flagship assets, expected to produce the second-highest annual gold volumes from among the five operations. Constructed in just 19 months and with no lost-time incidents, the project reinforces Aura’s commitment to developing lean, scalable, efficient operations.

 

On August 30, 2023, Aura released a Feasibility Study indicating an expected production of 748,000 ounces of gold over an 11.3-year LOM, with the potential for even greater production from a deposit with over 2,000,000 ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. The original Feasibility Study for the Borborema project, using a gold price of US$1,712 per ounce, projected total gold production of 812,000 ounces, with an NPV of US$182 million and IRR of 21.9%. The leveraged IRR with 50% debt was calculated at 40.8%, with an operating payback of 3.2 years. Sensitivity analysis using a gold price of US$2,600 per ounce, while maintaining all the other assumptions of the Feasibility Study, shows the NPV increasing to US$537 million, while the IRR rises to 41.8%, the leveraged IRR reaches 81.4% and the payback period improves to 1.7 years.

·Expansion of Capex: US$36 million, concentrated mainly on Project Borborema, where US$18.5 million was invested. The remaining expansion-related investment was mainly in Apoena and Almas, with around US$6.0 million each invested respectively.

·Maintenance Capex: US$11.8 million, of which US$6.8 million was allocated to Aranzazu, US$2.2 million to Apoena, and US$1.1 million to Almas and US$1.3 million to Minosa.

·Exploration Capex: US$2.2 million, allocated to exploration activities. Aranzazu led investment with US$1.0 million, followed by Apoena with US$0.9 million. Other exploration projects totaled US$1.1 million.

 

6. Gross and Net Debt

 

Total gross debt (short and long-term portion) was US$453,893 at the end of Q2 2025, a decrease when compared to $467,687 at the end of Q1 2025. This decrease was mainly driven by the reduction of US$13,794 due to the settlement of Nemesia SARL debt.

 

The Company’s cash position remains comfortable, closing out the year at US$167.9 million, despite investment in the expansion of our operations, annual income tax payments and dividend payments. Net Debt was US$280,560 by Q2 2025, due to capex of US$50,327, mostly related to payments related to the construction of the Borborema Project and dividends payment of US$29,811. These impacts were partially offset by the higher cash generation during the quarter

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 macroe7conomic 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.

These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning within IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

proven mineral reserves. The mineral reserve estimates were prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, or S-K 1300, using geostatistical and/or classical methods, plus economic and mining parameters appropriate to the deposit. The estimates include mining dilution and mining recovery. Mining dilution and recovery factors vary with specific reserve sources and are influenced by several factors including deposit type, deposit shape and mining methods. The estimate of mineral reserves and mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, or other relevant issues relating to exploration results, mineral resources, mineral reserves and exploration targets is based on supporting documentation prepared by qualified persons. Technical report summaries for each of our material mining operations have been prepared by qualified persons and have been filed as exhibits to our registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including our technical report summaries.
