Exhibit 99.1

Miami, May 6, 2026 – Rodrigo Barbosa, Aura’s President, and CEO commented: “In Q1 2026, Aura delivered another strong step forward across our three core avenues for value creation: we advanced production growth through the recently built Borborema Mine and the ongoing work to improve mine conditions at our recently acquired MSG project. We also delivered a significant increase in our mineral inventory, with Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves growing from 3.4 million GEO to 7.2 million GEO since our Nasdaq IPO. At the same time, we substantially further enhanced liquidity, with average daily traded volume rising from $31 million in Q4 2025 to $94 million in Q1 2026. Additionally, we were granted the key license to begin construction of Era Dorada, followed by full Board approval for the project; at Borborema, we also got approval for the road relocation by DNIT, allowing us to increase Mineral Reserves and start planning for a potential expansion. This progress, combined with a record-high EBITDA of US$244 million, enabled us to announce now another record dividend of ~ US$65 million, or US$ 0.78 per share, for the quarter. Looking ahead, we expect a stronger second half of the year, driven by favorable mine sequencing that reinforces our full-year guidance. We continue to advance the construction of Era Dorada, the expansions at Almas and Borborema, and the update of the Matupá feasibility study.”

| · | Sales Volumes: Q1 sales were 81,368 GEO, up 1% QoQ and 35% YoY at current prices, mainly from higher<br>overall production, despite negatively impacted GEO conversion at Aranzazu. |
|---|---|
| · | Record Net Revenues: Q1 reached US$382,606, up 19% QoQ and up 136% YoY, driven by higher gold prices<br>and production; Borborema/MSG contributed to 34% of the total revenues in Q1 26. |

| · | Record Adjusted EBITDA: Q1 hit US$ 243,868 (seventh consecutive quarterly record), up 17% QoQ and<br>199% YoY. Driven by higher production/sales and metal prices. |
| --- | --- |
| · | AISC Performance: Q1 AISC was US$1,829/GEO, up 20% QoQ at current prices and up 25% YoY, mainly<br>due to the addition of MSG (US$ 3,735/GEO), as well as Aranzazu GEO conversion, Apoena mine sequencing and negative impact of FX, due<br>to the strong appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Mexican Peso. At constant Q1 2025 metal prices and ex-MSG, AISC was US$1,512/GEO,<br>a 4% increase compared to Q1 2025 and 11% over Q4 2025. The Company expects consolidated 2026 AISC to be within the Company’s guidance<br>range (US$ 1,720 – US$ 1,865 / Oz) with a reduction expected mainly from the second half of the year as production increases and<br>cost reduction initiatives at MSG begin to deliver results. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Consistent Recurring Free Cash Flow: Q1 2026 US$94,852, in line QoQ and 253% YoY, driven by record<br>Adjusted EBITDA, offset by annual tax payments, realized losses with gold hedges (US$ 33 million) and temporary working capital consumption<br>(mostly accounts payables and work-in-progress inventory). |
| --- | --- |
| · | Net Income: US$ 95.2M, despite non-cash losses related to the MTM of gold collars (US$ 24 million).<br>Excluding the non-cash losses, adjusted Net Income was positive at US$109.5 million, driven by improved results from operations and lower<br>finance expenses QoQ and YoY, as well as lower current income taxes in Borborema and Almas due to income tax benefits in Brazil (Sudene<br>and Sudam benefit). |
| --- | --- |
| · | Stable Net Debt Position and Lower Financial Leverage: Q1 2026 US$115,181 (0.16x Net Debt/EBITDA<br>LTM) |

OTHER UPDATES Q1 2026:
Borborema: On February 25, 2026, Aura announces that it has signed the agreement of cooperation with DNIT (Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura Terrestre) to relocate the federal road, which crosses a portion of the Borborema mine. After the filing of Form 20-F on April 1^st^, 2026, Borborema has a total LOM of 36 years, considering the highway relocation, pit expansion and higher gold prices.
Updated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources: On April 1^st^, 2026, filed its annual report on Form 20-F. Between 2024 and 2025, Aura updated its MRMR models to reflect new data. Updates were driven by exploration drilling, revised geological interpretations, changes in mining methods, extraction plans, and economic parameters, including commodity prices that impacted cut-off grades and reserve classification, as well as M&A activities, which expanded Aura’s resource base, resulting in a significant increase in Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves to 7,223k GEO, representing ~110% growth year over year after depletion—driven by the inclusion of the MSG Project, updates at Borborema, and additional reserves at Era Dorada. Other main updates include:
| · | Metal price assumptions used for estimating Mineral Reserves were updated to reflect a significantly higher<br>pricing environment while maintaining a conservative outlook: gold at US$2,600/oz (up from US$2,000), copper at US$4.40/lb (up from US$4.20),<br>and silver at US$35.00/oz (up from US$25.00). |
|---|---|
| · | Inferred increased by more than 200% to 3,917k GEO, primarily driven by inclusion of MSG; Borborema MRMR<br>updates and the incorporation of Almas underground. |
| --- | --- |
Development of Era Dorada Project: On April 13^th^, 2026, Aura’s Board of Directors approved the development of the Era Dorada Project. In addition to the core project approval, Aura has secured budget authorization for an advanced water treatment system, with plans to pursue all necessary government permits and approvals. This will enable the delivery of purified, potable water to the local community, further demonstrating Aura’s steadfast dedication to environmental stewardship, sustainable social impact, and responsible mining practices. Total CAPEX for this project is estimated at US$382.0 million with an estimated NPV of US$ 1,344.5 million and unlevered after-tax IRR of 35.6%, considering Feasibility Gold prices of US$ 3,177 per Oz. The project is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2028.

Notes: (1) Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q1 2026: Copper price = US$5.80/lb; Gold Price = US$4,850/oz; Silver Price = US$83.12/oz and Molybdenum Price = US$25.65/oz (2) Q4 2025 consider only December for MSG.
Total production in Q1 2026 reached 82,137 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), slightly above Q4 2025 levels and 37% higher when compared to Q1 2025 at current metal prices, mainly due to the start of production at Borborema and addition of MSG and increased production from Almas, despite negative impact from lower grades at Aranzazu, negative impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu and lower production at Apoena. At constant prices, Aura’s quarterly production was slightly higher than Q4 2025 and 41% above Q1 2025. The Company remains on track to meet its Production Guidance for 2026, of 340k to 390k GEO.
2.2. Net Revenue

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

In Q1 2026, the Company reported Net Revenue of US$382.6 million, representing a 19% increase compared to Q4 2025. When compared to Q1 2025, Aura’s Net Revenue increased 136%, driven by the sales increase, due to the startup of Borborema and MSG acquisition, also due to higher metal prices (from US$2,862/oz in Q1 2025 to US$4,873/oz in Q1 2026). Copper sale prices also contributed positively, with the average copper price increasing by 27%, from US$4.58/lb in Q1 2025 to US$5.81/lb in Q1 2026.
2.3. Cost and Gross Profit
| (US$ thousand) | Q1 2026 | Q4 2025 | QoQ<br><br> <br>Change % | Q1 2025 | YoY<br><br> <br>Change% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net Revenue | 382,606 | 321,661 | 19% | 161,804 | 136% |
| Cost of goods sold | (153,778) | (118,764) | 29% | (83,376) | 84% |
| Cost of production | (83,528) | (50,599) | 65% | (44,919) | 86% |
| Cost of production – Contractors | (16,589) | (28,565) | -42% | (15,467) | 7% |
| Direct mine and mill costs - Salaries | (20,696) | (12,747) | 62% | (9,126) | 127% |
| Depreciation and amortization | (32,965) | (26,853) | 23% | (13,864) | 138% |
| Gross Profit | 228,828 | 202,897 | 13% | 78,428 | 192% |
| Gross Margin | 60% | 63% | -3 p.p. | 48% | 12 p.p. |
In first quarter of 2026, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) totaled US$153.8 million, up 29% to previous quarter and 84% above Q1 2025. When compared to the previous quarter, the increase is mainly related to the operation of MSG under Aura ownership for the entire quarter (vs. 1 month in the previous quarter) and impact of FX, due to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso in the period. Comparing with the Q1 2025, the cost increase is mainly due to the addition of MSG, commercial production from Borborema and increased production volumes at Almas, besides also negative FX impact (~5% appreciation of BRL).
In Q1 2026, the increase in Net Revenue, which more than doubled year-over-year, more than offset the increase in COGS during the quarter, driving Gross Profit to US$ 228.8 million, achieving a Gross Margin of 60%. This represents an increase in Gross Profit of 13% from Q4 2025 and 192% when compared to Q1 2025.
2.4. Cash Cost and All in Sustaining Costs
| (US$/GEO) | Q1 2026 | Q4 2025 | QoQ<br><br> <br>Change % | Q1 2025 | YoY<br><br> <br>Change% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Cost | 1,485 | 1,143 | 30% | 1,149 | 29% |

| All-in Sustaining Cost | 1,829 | 1,521 | 20% | 1,461 | 25% |
| Aranzazu | 2,046 | 1,732 | 18% | 1,545 | 32% |
| Apoena | 2,129 | 2,427 | -12% | 2,041 | 4% |
| Minosa | 1,370 | 1,267 | 8% | 1,249 | 10% |
| Almas | 1,376 | 962 | 43% | 1,195 | 15% |
| Borborema | 1,256 | 1,111 | 13% | n.a. | n.a. |
| MSG | 3,735 | 3,132 | 19% | n.a. | n.a. |
**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

On a quarter-over-quarter basis, Cash Cost in Q1 2026 was US$1,485/GEO, up 30% compared to Q4 2025, mainly reflecting the consolidation of MSG. Excluding MSG, Cash Cost was US$1,298, an 14% increase driven by lower production at Aranzazu and Apoena due to mine sequencing, as well as higher costs at Almas related to mine development and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso during the period (+2.5% and +4%, respectively).
On a year-over-year basis, Cash Cost increased by 29% compared to Q1 2025. Excluding MSG and at constant Q1 2025 metal prices, Cash Cost was US$1,298, representing a 13% increase compared to Q1 2025. This reflects the benefit from the addition of Borborema, which has a lower average cash cost, partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso during the period (approximately 5% and 4%, respectively).
AISC totaled US$1,829/GEO in Q1 2026, increasing 20% quarter-over-quarter and 25% year-over-year at current prices. Excluding MSG and at constant Q1 2025 metal prices, AISC was US$1,512, representing only a 4% increase, driven by the same factors impacting cash costs during the period, despite the negative FX impact.
The Company expects both consolidated 2026 Cash Costs and AISC to be within the Company’s Guidance range with a reduction mainly from the second half of the year as production increases and initiatives to reduce costs at MSG start showing results.
2.5. Operating Expenses
| (US$ thousand) | Q1 2026 | Q4 2025 | QoQ<br><br> <br>Change % | Q1 2025 | YoY<br><br> <br>Change% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Profit | 228,828 | 202,897 | 13% | 78,428 | 192% |
| Operational Expenses | (23,509) | (37,777) | -38% | (11,766) | 100% |
| General and administrative expenses | (15,742) | (18,761) | -16% | (9,636) | 63% |
| Exploration expenses | (2,359) | (2,595) | -9% | (1,376) | 71% |
| ARO Change in estimate for properties in C&M | - | (489) | n.a. | n.a. | n.a. |
| Other Expenses | (5,408) | (15,932) | -66% | (754) | 617% |
| Operating income | 205,319 | 165,120 | 24% | 66,662 | 208% |
General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased by 16% compared to Q4 2025, primarily reflecting M&A costs (~ US$ 2.4 million) incurred in the previous quarter (closing of MSG acquisition) which was not repeated in Q1 2026.
When compared to Q1 2025, G&A increased 63%, resulting from: (i) declaration of commercial production from Borborema (US$ 1 million increase; during the pre-commercial production period, a portion of the expenses were capitalized); (ii) addition of G&A associated expenses with the MSG Mine (US$ 2.5 million) ; increase in stock-based compensation and DSU liabilities (impacting Directors’ fees) as result of the significant increase in the Company’s share price (combined increase of US$ 2.4 million). Excluding these impacts, G&A would be mostly in line with Q1 2025.
Exploration expenses totaled US$2.4 million in Q1 2026, a 9% decrease compared to Q4 2025 and 71% increase from Q1 2025, mainly due to Aranzazu and Almas, that combined represented 77% of the total expense in the quarter. This result is in line with the Company’s plan.
Other Expenses are mainly related to a non-cash loss from revaluing the Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) issued in the January 2025 as part of the Bluestone Resources (owner of Era Dorada project) acquisition, which pay holders up to approximately C$ 31.0 million in 3 years once Era Dorada reaches commercial production. After the Board of Directors of Aura approved Era Dorada's construction, management raised the estimated likelihood of reaching production and shortened the expected payment timeline, increasing the CVR liability's value. This is a non-cash charge reflecting the project's de-risking — a milestone expected to create shareholder value well beyond the liability increase. No cash is owed until commercial production is achieved.
**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

The Company thus ended Q1 2026 with Operating Income of US$205.3 million, compared to an Operating Income of US$66.7 million in Q1 2025, also higher compared to the Operating Income of Q4 2025 of US$165.1 million, improvements due to higher gross profit due to the reasons discussed above.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

The Company’s Financial Result in Q1 2026 was a loss of US$(68.9) million, and an improvement compared to a loss of US$ (123.2) million recorded in Q4 2025 and a loss of (US$ 121.6) million in Q1 2025, mainly due to lower unrealized losses with gold derivatives registered this quarter vs. previous quarters.
The financial result in Q1 2026 was mainly impacted by:
| · | Unrealized loss on gold hedges of US$24.1 million, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related<br>to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting increase in gold prices between the start and the end of the quarter, coming from US$4,325.60<br>per Oz and reaching US$ 4,646.60 per Oz at the end of the period. In accordance with IFRS standards, the Company records MTM adjustments<br>at the end of each reporting period for all outstanding derivative positions. |
|---|---|
| · | Realized losses with gold hedges of US$33.3 million were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold<br>collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter. |
| --- | --- |
All of Aura’s outstanding gold collars (183,999 Ozs) are associated with the future production of the Borborema and will expire between April/2026 and June/2028. As previously disclosed, an estimated 80% of the production for the first 3 years of the Borborema Project were hedged in 2023 at ceiling prices of US$2,400 per Oz.

Net income in Q1 2026 was US$95.2 million, compared to Net Loss of US$(19.9) million in Q4 2025 and a Net Loss of US$ 73.3 million in Q1 2025. The improvement on quarterly basis is mainly attributable to the improved Operating Income for the reasons discussed and lower financial expenses, due to a lower increase in gold prices between the beginning and end of Q1 2026 than in Q4 2025 which led to a lower negative MTM impact of outstanding gold derivatives.
Compared to Q1 2025, Net Income improved also due to significant improvement in the Operating Income and reduction of Finance Expenses for the same reasons.

Applies the metal sale prices in Aranzazu realized during Q1 2026: Copper price = US$5.80/lb; Gold Price = US$4,850/oz; Silver Price = US$83.12/oz and Molybdenum Price = US$25.65/oz
At Aranzazu, production reached 15,694 GEO, representing a 17% decrease compared to the previous quarter, resulting partially from metal prices since higher gold prices negatively impact the conversion to GEO. When compared to Q1 2025, production decreased by 23% also due to the sharp increase in gold and silver prices between the periods which also impacted GEO conversion. This result is in line with the Company’s mine plan and according to mine sequencing; production is expected to increase towards the last quarters of the year. At constant prices, Aranzazu production was 15% lower when compared to Q4 2025 and 23% lower compared to Q1 2025, that QoQ was mainly explained by lower grades of copper (from 1.45% to 1.15%), silver (from 21g/ton to 17g/ton) and gold (from 0.8g/ton to 0.7g/ton), due to mine sequencing and according to the Company’s plan. During the quarter, Aranzazu sold 16,218 GEO, 10% lower than last quarter. Sales exceeded production due to the timing of revenue recognition of the final 2025 shipment.
**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

Aranzazu’s Net Revenue in Q1 2026 was US$69.2 million, 4% higher compared to Q4 2025 and up 38% compared to Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher metal prices. Average sales prices rose quarter-over-quarter, with copper increasing 15%, gold 15% and silver 46% and year-over-year, copper increased 36%, gold 69% and silver 160%.
In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) was US$32.5 million, slightly higher than the US$31.9 million of Q4 2025 and 7% above Q1 2025, mainly driven by inflation and the appreciation of the Mexican Peso. Considering slightly higher cost and lower production, Cash Cost was US$1,558/GEO for the quarter, 27% higher than Q4 2025 and 34% higher than Q1 2025. Aranzazu’s AISC was US$2,046 in the quarter, up 18% from Q4 2025 and up 32% from Q1 2025, primarily due to higher CAPEX for mine development QoQ and higher COGS YoY. At constant Q1 2025 metal prices, AISC was US$1,718/GEO, and increase of 20% over Q4 2025 and 36% over Q1 2025, mainly because of lower production due to grades and negative FX impact.
In the quarter, Aranzazu’s general and administrative expenses decreased in the quarter totaled US$1.6 million, 7% lower compared to Q4 2025 as well as 11% compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses decreased 34%, to US$0.9 million, from US$1.4 million in Q4 2025, as drilling was more focused in conversion. Year-over-year, this expense increased 32%, mainly driven by increased exploration in regional targets (Arco Iris and others).
Although there were lower sales in the quarter, Aranzazu’s Adjusted EBITDA was US$41.4 million in Q1 2026, reflecting a 1% increase from Q4 2025 and a 70% compared to Q1 2025, driven by robust Net Revenue growth from higher metal prices compared to 2025.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

At Apoena, production was 7,525 GEO, 15% lower than Q1 2025 and 16% than Q4 2025, primarily driven by lower ore throughput and recovery rates, in line with the Company’s mine plan. According to mine sequencing, production is expected to increase towards the last quarters of the year. In Q1 2026, Apoena sold 7,525 GEO, consistent with its mine sequencing and lower grades during the first half of the year.
Apoena’s Net Revenue totaled US$35.8 million for Q1 2026, slightly lower than Q4 2025, due to the lower sales, and 36% above the Q1 2025, driven primarily by higher gold prices.
In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled US$16.2 million, representing a 16% increase compared to Q4 2025 and a 7% increase compared to Q1 2025. This increase was partially driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real during the period and a 53% increase in the total ore mined YoY, from 4.3 million tons to 6.6 million tons. QoQ, total ore mined increased 5%. These factors, combined with lower production levels (due to lower recovery rate) and higher strip ratio (from 7.9x in Q1 25 and 13.4x in Q4 25 to 12.2x in Q1 26), drove Cash Cost to US$1,380/GEO in the quarter, representing a 5% decrease compared to Q4 2025 and a 12% increase compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting lower production volumes for the reasons discussed above. In Q1 2026, Apoena’s AISC was US$2,129/GEO, 12% lower than Q4 2025, due to lower sustaining capex in 26%, from US$ 5.5 million to US$ 4.1 million and 22% lower G&A. Compared to Q1 2025, AISC increased 4%, below the cash cost, due to lower increase in capex, partially offset by lower lease payments.
Apoena’s general and administrative expenses increased in the quarter and totaled US$1.0 million, 22% lower compared to Q4 2025 and 23% lower than Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased 22%, to US$0.2 million, from US$0.1 million in Q4 2025, due to increased regional mapping activity in the Jiboinha, Guaporé-Sararé and Serra Dourada targets. Year-over-year, this expense increased 43%, for the same reason.
The Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2026 reached US$24.3million. This result reflects a significant increase of approximately 80% compared to Q1 2025, mainly driven by stronger gold prices. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, despite lower production and sales volumes and higher costs, the positive impact of higher gold prices more than offset these pressures, supporting an increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

In Q1 2026, production totaled 17,399 GEO in Q1 2026, 2% lower than Q4 2025 and in line with Q1 2025, mainly as a result of lower gold extraction during the period and consistent with Aura’s expectations. In terms of sales, Minosa sold 17,456 GEO, 3% above Q4 2025 and same level of Q1 2025, mainly due to the shipping schedule of gold from December 2025. This result aligned with the gold price increase drove Minosa’s Net Revenue to US$80.0 million in Q1 2026, up 19% from Q4 2025, while compared to Q1 2025 it grew 66%.
In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled US$22.7 million, representing a 15% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 6% increase compared to Q1 2025, due to increase in total ore mined (28% YoY and 2% QoQ). The Cash Cost was US$1,188/GEO for the quarter, up 9% from Q4 2025 and also up 3% from Q1 2025. The All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) for Q1 2026 was US$1,370/GEO, up 8% from Q4 2025. Compared to Q1 2025, AISC increased 11%, primarily due to higher CAPEX, that increased 9%, from US$2.2 million to US$ 2.4 million in Q1 2026.
General and administrative expenses increased in the quarter totaled US$1.1 million, 51% higher compared to Q4 2025 and 3% lower compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses decreased 24% compared to Q4 2025, as efforts are focused on understanding last year drilling campaign.
In Q1 2026, Minosa’s Adjusted EBITDA reached US$58.1 million, up 21% from Q4 2025 and 119% from Q1 2025, driven by higher gold prices, despite reduced production from lower gold extraction during the period.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

During Q1 2026, Almas produced 15,838 GEO, representing a 21% increase compared to Q1 2025 and remaining in line with Q4 2025 levels. This performance was driven by higher ore throughput and improved mine performance, reflecting the benefits of the plant expansion, which more than offset lower grades during the period as result of mine sequencing. In the quarter, Almas sold 14,048 GEO, lower than production as the last shipment of the quarter is in transit to the refinery.
Net Revenue was US$68.7 million in Q1 2026, up 85% from Q1 2025, driven by increased production and sales volumes, supported by higher ore processing from the plant expansion, and elevated metal prices. Compared to Q4 2025, Net Revenue rose 4%, primarily due to a significant rise in gold prices.
In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) was US$21.7 million, 31% above Q1 2025 and 27% when compared to Q4 2025, primarily attributed to a higher total ore mined over the Q1 2025 as result of increased production capacity. The appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar also had a negative impact.
The Cash Cost was US$1,204/GEO in Q1 2026, 44% higher than Q4 2025 and 13% higher than Q1 2025, due to mine sequence, with lower grades (from 1.10 g/ton in Q1 25 and 1.06g/ton in Q4 25 to 0.95g/ton in Q1 26) and higher strip ratio (from 5.21 in Q1 25 and 4.22 in Q4 25 to 6.51 in Q1 26).
Almas’ All-in Sustaining Cost was US$ 1,376/GEO in Q1 2026, up 43% from Q4 2025 and 15% higher than Q1 2025, in line with the cash cost evolution in the period. Compared to Q1 2025, there was an increase of 145% in CAPEX, mainly due to higher sustaining CAPEX for mine development (push back), counting US$ 4.9 million of total CAPEX in Q1 2026 from US$ 2.0 million in Q4 2025 and in line with the Company’s plan.
General and administrative expenses decreased in the quarter totaled US$1.1 million, 3% higher when compared to Q4 2025 and 42% higher compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased 18% compared to Q4 2025 and increased 289% year over year, mainly driven by the focus on Almas underground project.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$49.7 million in Q1 2026, 125% higher than Q1 2025 result, driven by 21% increase in ore processing from the plant expansion, improved operational performance and elevated gold prices. Compared to Q4 2025, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2%, primarily due to higher costs.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

Borborema’s production totaled 17,101 GEO, representing an 8% increase compared to the previous quarter, reflecting continued progress along the ramp-up curve and higher milling throughput. In the quarter, Borborema sold 16,609 GEO, a 5% increase compared to the previous quarter. Net Revenue was US$82.0 million in Q1 2026, up 25% from Q4 2025, driven by increased sales volumes and supported by higher metal prices.
In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) increased 16% compared to Q4 2025, mainly due to a one-off maintenance event at the CIL plant during the period. The Cash Cost was US$1,200/GEO in Q1 2026, an increase of 29% compared to Q4 2025, due to a slightly higher strip ratio (from 2.02x to 2.69x) due to mine sequencing and lower recovery rates (from 91.7% to 88.2%) while grades remained stable.
Borborema’s All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,256/GEO in Q1 2026, 13% higher than Q4 2025, due to mainly the increase in the Cash Cost.
General and administrative expenses decreased 40% in the quarter compared to Q4 2025, totaling US$1.0 million, mainly due to lower expenses in services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased compared to Q4 2025, because of an increase in studies of regional targets.
Adjusted EBITDA was US$60.9 million in Q1 2026, driven by strong Net Revenue from 8% increase in production and favorable gold prices while costs remained relatively stable.

**AURA Q1 2026 EARNINGS RESULTS**

At MSG, production totaled 8,580 GEO, with sales of 9,508 GEO. This production resulted in a Net Revenue of US$46.9 million in Q1 2026.
The Cash Cost was US$2,900/GEO in Q1 2026. MSG All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$3,735/GEO in Q1 2026, reflecting the turnaround phase. As part of the ongoing turnaround at the mine, Aura dedicated Q1 to critical underground infrastructure upgrades — a fundamental step that will continue throughout the year and enable more consistent development and higher production levels in the coming years.
The Company expects production at MSG to be lower in Q2 compared to Q1, while cash costs and AISC are anticipated to increase. This reflects the Company’s decision to focus during Q2 on developing areas of the mine that are expected to improve operational performance starting in Q3 2026 and support sustained gains in the following years.
In Q1, Serra Grande established the structural foundations for the asset’s turnaround. We advanced underground development, with approximately 1,800 meters completed during the period, 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.

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 March 31, 2026, the related condensed interim consolidated statements of income (loss), other comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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.

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.

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,<br>investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly defined operating<br>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<br>is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19. |

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except where otherwise noted.
| (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.

13 LIABILITY MEASUREDAT FAIR VALUE
At December 19, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary, Borborema, entered in a Net Smelter Return Royalty Agreement (the “NSR Royalty”) for $21,000 with Gold Royalty Corp (“Grantor”).
The key elements of the agreement are:
| a) | Royalty payments: 2% of net smelter returns after commercial production on the first<br>725,000 ounces produced (“stepdown royalty threshold”); |
|---|---|
| b) | Stepdown royalty: Upon the aggregate of 725,000 ounces of royalty-generating gold<br>being produced, the royalty shall be reduced to 0.5% of the net smelter returns for the remainder of the term of the royalty agreement; |
| --- | --- |
| c) | Grantor’s buyback option: After the stepdown royalty threshold is met, the<br>Grantor has the right to buy back the stepdown royalty at a price of $2,500 that may be exercised at any time following the date on which<br>the earlier of an aggregate of 2,250,000 ounces of royalty-generating gold having been produced or January 1, 2050; |
| --- | --- |
| d) | Pre-production payment: The Grantor shall make pre-production payment to the holder<br>of the royalty by delivery of 250 ounces (1,000 ounces per year) of refined gold on the last day of each calendar quarter until the earlier<br>of the commercial production date and the tenth (10th) year anniversary date of the royalty agreement; and |
| --- | --- |
| e) | Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) payment: The holders of<br>the royalty should pay the Grantor up to $30 United States Dollars per each gold equivalent ounce of product and such payment shall be<br>satisfied by Borborema as a rebate against ESG related costs. This payment shall be in the maximum aggregate amount of $300 United States<br>Dollars over the term of the Royalty agreement. |
| --- | --- |
This agreement is being accounted at fair value through profit or loss. As the agreement contains more than one embedded derivative (items c and d above), it has been designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition and as such the embedded conversion feature is not separated. The component of fair value changes relating to the Company’s own credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in OCI related to credit risk are not subject to recycling in profit or loss and will be transferred to retained earnings when realized. Fair value changes relating to market risk are recognized in profit or loss.
Following the declaration of commercial production at the Borborema Project in September 2025, the agreement transitioned from the pre-production phase to the production phase. As a result, the obligation to deliver pre-production gold payments ceased, and the Company became subject to royalty payments based on 2% of net smelter returns, in accordance with the agreement, which commenced in the first quarter of 2026.
For the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the variation in the liability fair value was a loss of ($5,026) and ($2,359) respectively, recorded in the financial expense (note 23). The total outstanding balance as of March 31, 2026 is $33,615 ($26,834 as of December 31, 2025).

The fair value effect of the Derivative Collars for the period ended March 31, 2026 is $(24,105) (($100,210) in March 31, 2025), recorded as a finance expenses loss 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 offinancial 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<br>identical assets or liabilities; |
|---|---|
| 2) | Level 2, which are inputs other than Level 1 quotes prices that are observable,<br>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<br>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.

| (a) | The Company assessed the probability of achieving commercial production, over various time horizons, primarily within a 0 to 20-year<br>range, while also recognizing a residual probability of timelines extending beyond 20 years. If expected commercial production probability<br>varies by 10% on the lower and higher ends of these time horizons, the fair value would increase or decrease by $1,687. |

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| Input | 2026 | 2025 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WACC | 11.50 | % | 11.50 | % |
| Credit-risk | 2.70 | % | 2.70 | % |
| Expected volatility | 15.20 | % | 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.
27 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 28 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<br> 1 year | 2 to 3<br> years | 4 to 5<br> years | Over 5<br> years | Total | |||||

As of March 31, 2026, Aura has cash and cash equivalents of $267,789 ($286,056: 2025) and current assets, excluding restricted cash less current liabilities of ($13,207) ($16,843: 2025).
| 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 267,789 and $286,056, respectively, of which, $239,925 ($257,374 in 2025) were in United States dollars, $191 ($192 in 2025) in Canadian dollars, $24,439 ($19,946 in 2025) in Brazilian reais, $2,933 ($8,305 in 2025) in Honduran lempiras, $210 ($126 in 2025) in Mexican pesos, $- ($18 in 2025) in Colombian Pesos, $85 ($90 in 2025) in Guatemalan Quetzals and $6 ($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 $1,398.
| 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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, MSG 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.

Commodity derivatives transactions – Gold collars
As mentioned in Note 26, 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 March 31, 2026 closing prices.
Liability measured at fair value
As mentioned in Note 13, 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% | 82,881 |
| Liability measured at fair value | Gold price increase/decrease | D 10% | 3,361 |
| Loans and debentures (Gold linked loan) | Gold price increase/decrease | D 10% | 617 |
| Contingent consideration (NSR) | Gold price increase/decrease | D 10% | 1,177 |

b) Contingencies
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.
32 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.
