2       BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

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, 2024, ("2024 Annual Financial Statements").

 

The accounting policies followed in these Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 3 of 2024 Annual Financial Statements, except for those new or revised standards adopted as of January 1, 2025 as is the case with the amendments to IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

3       ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

 

A number of new accounting standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2025 and earlier application is permitted.

 

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 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 standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company´s consolidated financial statements.

-Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7).

 

4       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

 

The preparation of the 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

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

 

 

 

The Company has identified critical 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 2024 Annual Financial Statements for a summary of the significant 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       ACQUISITIONS

 

a)Asset acquisition– Bluestone Resources (“Bluestone”)

 

In December 2024, the Company acquired, at market value, 5,500,000 shares of Bluestone, representing 3.62% of its total shares, for a total consideration of $1,327. The acquisition was valued based on the quoted market price of Bluestone’s shares on the Canadian stock exchange at the acquisition date and was recorded as an investment under other non-current assets (see Note 10).

 

On January 13, 2025, Aura completed the acquisition of control of Bluestone, acquiring all remaining 96.38% shares for an additional amount of $40,299 as follows:

 

- Cash Consideration = $18,342 (equivalent to C$26,255)

- Non-Cash Consideration = $12,503

Aura issued 1,007,186 common shares to Bluestone´s former shareholders (0.0183 common shares of Aura for each Bluestone Share held). The shares were valued based on the quoted market price of Aura’s shares on the Canadian stock exchange at the acquisition date.

- Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) = $9,120 (C$13,111) (note 16)

The fair value of the CVRs was determined based on three fixed annual payments, contingent upon the achievement of commercial production, defined as when either: (i) Aura announces that commercial production at Cerro Blanco has been achieved, or (ii) it has operated for 90 consecutive days with 80% or more of used capacity.

The fair value of the CVRs was determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This model incorporated management’s current estimates of the probability of achieving commercial production, the expected timing of it and the contractual payout structure. The expected payments were discounted to present value using a 7.4% discount rate.

- Capitalized Acquisition Costs = $334

These costs, consisting of legal and consulting fees paid in January 2025, were capitalized as part of the investment in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Upon the closing of the transaction, Bluestone's assets primarily consisted of mineral properties. Given that Bluestone did not have processes capable of generating outputs, it did not meet the definition of a business under the applicable accounting standards. As a result, the transaction has been treated as an asset acquisition.

 

The table below summarizes the financial information of the investment as of January 13, 2025 (acquisition date):

 

      Book value  Fair value allocation  Fair value acquired
Assets acquired  Cash and cash equivalents   138    —      138 
   Other assets   687    —      687

   Provision for mine closure and restoration   9,668    —      9,668 
   Deferred income tax liabilities   1,137    —      1,137 
                   
Net assets      18,892    22,734    41,626 

 

b)Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (“MSG”) aquisition

 

On June 2, 2025, Aura Minerals Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti plc to acquire 100% of the shares of Mineração Serra Grande S.A. (“MSG”), owner of the Serra Grande gold mine in Crixás, Goiás, Brazil.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Aura will pay an upfront cash consideration of US$76 million at closing, subject to working capital adjustments. Additional deferred consideration will be paid through a 3% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on MSG’s currently identified Mineral Resource.

 

The transaction excludes certain non-operational subsidiaries of MSG, which will be spun off prior to closing. The completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including CADE approval, decommissioning of a legacy tailings dam, and no material adverse events.

 

Closing is expected to occur in the second half of 2025.

On April 15, 2025, the parties closed the transaction, pursuant to which Aura acquired from Nemesia S.à.r.l. all of Nemesia’s rights, title, and interest in the outstanding debt of Bluestone in exchange for 1,218,222 common shares of Aura and an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $5.9 million payable from Aura to Nemesia S.à.r.l (the “New Promissory Note”), The New Promissory Note has a fixed interest rate of 7% and becomes due once Cerro Blanco achieves commercial production within the next 20 years. The fair value of the 1,218,222 common shares issued was $22.8 million, based on Aura’s share price at the closing date.

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized in the following table:

 

      June 30, 2025  December 31, 2024

Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value

 

The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements:

 

Description Fair value at Unobservable inputs Inputs Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 2025 2024  
Liability measured at fair value (NSR agreement)) 22,539 17,749 Expected production of gold ounces 747,704 747,704 If expected production of gold ounces were 10% higher or lower, the fair value would increase/decrease by $1,604
Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) 9,610 - Commercial Production (a) - (a)

 

(a)The Company assessed the probability of achieving commercial production, which is defined on Note 5, 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 $1,592.

 

Valuation process

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.

 

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.

• Probability of commercial production achievement and expected timing of payment.

 

There was no significant changes on the key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the liability measured at fair value (NSR agreement) used for the period ended June 30, 2025.

26       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 27 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:

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 and Colombian peso.

 

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 term loans and other provisions denominated in foreign currency.

 

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $167,938, and $270,189, respectively, of which, $135,588 ($229,525 in 2024) were in United States dollars, $198 ($265 in 2024) in Canadian dollars, $31,468 ($28,997 in 2024) in Brazilian real, $506 ($11,229 in 2024) in Honduran lempiras, $82 ($158 in 2024) in Mexican pesos, $28 ($14 in 2024) in Colombian Pesos, $62 ($0 in 2024) in Guatemalan Quetzals and $6 ($0 in 2024) 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 $1,614.

 

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, 2025, 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. The Company concluded that its exposure to interest rates is immaterial.

 

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, 2025, the Company believes that its trade credit risk is low due to the following reasons:

- For the sales of refined gold from Almas, Apoena e Minosa, the Company collects payments in advance 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 is generally collected within 15 days from the issuance of the invoice.

 

e)Market risk

 

Commodity derivatives transactions – Gold collars

As mentioned in Note 25, 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, 2025 closing prices.

 

Liability measured at fair value

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 cash flows.

 

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 cash flows.

 

The reasonably possible scenario of 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%. To simulate the potential 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% 75,000
Liability measured at fair value Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 2,254
Loans and debentures (Gold linked loan) Gold price increase/decrease D 10% 482

27       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 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, and issue new shares to reduce debt.

 

On February 26, 2025 and May 5, 2025 Aura’s Board of Directors has declared and approved the payment of dividends for a total of $18.3 million and $29.8 million, respectively. These correspond to $0.25 per share and $0.08 per Brazilian Depositary Receipt (“BDR”) and $0.40 per share and $0.13 per BDR, respectively. The dividends were paid on March 28, 2025 and May 30, 2025 respectively.

 

28       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Key Management Compensation

 

Total compensation paid to key management personnel (including based salaries, bonuses and other benefits), remuneration of directors and other members of key executive management personnel for the period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $2,718 and $2,981, respectively.

 

Director’s fees

 

Management had issued 189,795 deferred stock units (DSUs) to certain directors and former directors of the Company in 2016. The DSUs are recognized at the fair value of the Company shares based on the provisions of the agreements and will be settled in cash. The balance of the DSUs as of June 30, 2025 is $2,197 ($1,216 as of December 31, 2024) and is included as part of Trade and other payables.

Iraja Royalty Payments

 

As part of the Apoena Mines transaction with Yamana Gold Inc. (“Yamana”), Mineracao Apoena S.A. (“Apoena”) entered into a royalty agreement (the “EPP Royalty Agreement”), dated June 21, 2016, with Serra da Borda Mineracao e Metalurgia S.A. (“SBMM”), Yamana’s wholly-controlled subsidiary. Commencing on and from June 21, 2016, Apoena would pay to SBMM a royalty (the “Royalty”) that is equal to 2.0% of Net Smelter Returns on all gold mined or benefited from Apoena (the “Subject Metals”) sold or deemed to have been sold by or for Apoena.

 

Effective as at such time as Apoena has paid the Royalty on up to 1,000,000 troy ounces of the Subject Metals, the Royalty shall without the requirement for any further act or formality, reduce to 1.0% of Net Smelter Returns on all Subject Metals sold or deemed to have been sold by or for Apoena.

 

On October 27, 2017, SBMM entered into an agreement (the “Royalty Swap Agreement”) with Iraja Mineracao Ltda., a company controlled by the same controlling group, a third-party company, for the swap of the EPP Royalty with the RDM Royalty (as defined in the Royalty Swap Agreement) with no change to the terms of the royalty calculation. Aura has incurred expenses of the related royalties of $1,548 in the period ended June 30, 2025 ($909: 2024).

 

Royalty Agreement for Aura Almas

 

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Almas, maintains a royalty agreement with Irajá Mineração Ltda.., a company controlled by the same controlling group of Aura, whereby the subsidiary pays 1.2% of the Net Smelter Returns on all gold mined or sold. Aura has incurred expenses of the related royalties of $6,200 in the period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Royalty Agreement for Matupá

 

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Matupá, maintains a royalty agreement with Irajá Mineração Ltda., a company controlled by the same controlling group of Aura, whereby the subsidiary will pay 1.2% of the Net Smelter Returns on all gold mined or sold, from the moment that is declared commercial production. The subsidiary is currently in care and maintenance.

 

Dividends payable to Northwestern

 

Northwestern, a company controlled by the Chairman of the Board, is the majority shareholder of Aura with approximately 53.5% ownership as of June 30, 2025 (54.8% as of December 31, 2024).

In the six-month ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid to Northwestern the total amount of $25.7 million of dividends.

 

Employee withholding taxes payable to the Company

 

In March 2021, certain key executives exercised stock options and received Company shares, triggering a withholding tax obligation that the Company paid on their behalf, as required by local regulations. The Board authorized reimbursement over a period of up to 18 months (extended to September 2025), with interest at or above the Applicable Federal Rate (AFR). The balance was secured by Company shares valued at 150% of the amount due, with provisions for additional collateral or immediate repayment in the event of employment termination. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance was $3,129, which was fully reimbursed by the executive in June 2025.

 

29       SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The reportable operating segments have been identified as the Minosa Mine, Apoena Mine, the Aranzazu Mine, Almas Mine, and Borborema Project. The Company manages its business, including the allocation of resources and assessment of performance, on a project-by-project basis, except where the Company’s projects are substantially connected and share resources and administrative functions. The segments presented reflect the way in which the Company’s management reviews its business performance. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to executive management who act as the chief operating decision makers. Executive management is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2025, the Borborema Project was included as a reportable operating segment, as it became a distinct area of focus subject to regular review by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Additionally, the Projects and Corporate segments, which were previously reported separately, no longer meet the criteria for reportable segments. Accordingly, comparative information has been recast to reflect this change and are now presented as part of non-reportable segments.

31       INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic income 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 loss per share is adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented.

 

The following table summarizes activity for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
