1           NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) were approved by the Board of Directors on November 4, 2025.

 

2           BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

 

The Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). 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. As disclosed in the 2024 Annual Financial Statements, these amendments have not had a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

The functional currency of Aura and the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States Dollar (“US Dollar”) except for a non material service company in Mexico which has a functional currency of Mexican Pesos (“MXN Pesos”) and certain non material Brazilian subsidiaries in Brazilian Reais (“BRL Reais”). All values in the consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand.

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.

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.

 

Declaration of Commercial Production in Borborema

 

In September 2025, the Company announced that the Borborema Project had reached commercial production status. This conclusion was based on management’s assessment of several factors, including: (1) the level of capital expenditures incurred compared to construction cost estimates; (2) the completion of a reasonable period of testing of plant and equipment; (3) the ability to produce minerals in saleable form meeting required specifications; and (4) the ability to sustain ongoing production of minerals at stable levels.

 

Upon achieving commercial production, the capitalization of development and commissioning costs ceases, and subsequent costs are either capitalized to inventory or recognized in profit or loss, except for capitalizable expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment additions or improvements, open pit stripping activities that provide future economic benefit, underground mine development, or other expenditures that meet the criteria for capitalization in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. Revenues and related costs associated with minerals produced and sold during the commissioning phase continue to be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income (loss).

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):

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

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 the Brazilian anti-trust agency CADE (“Administrative Council for Economic Defense”) approval, decommissioning of a legacy tailings dam, and no material adverse events.

On February 7, 2025, Aura, Nemesia S.à.r.l., and Bluestone, signed a term sheet for the purchase and assignment of the debt obligation related to the Cerro Blanco Project held by Bluestone. On March 14, 2025, the parties executed a Debt Purchase and Assignment Agreement, reflecting the terms previously agreed between the parties and subject to certain closing conditions, including approval from Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). 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. The transaction resulted in a loss on settlement of liability with equity instruments of $8.8 million, recognized as a finance expense (Note 23) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

18       EQUITY

 

The Company has authorized an unlimited number of common shares, being subscribed 83,534,506 as of September 30, 2025 (72,399,495 as of December 31, 2024).

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 1,493,492 options issued and outstanding (1,052,589 as of December 31, 2024). The share-based payment expense is measured at fair value and recognized over the vesting period from the date of grant, and for the nine months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, share-based payment expense recognized in general and administrative expenses was $1,341 and $82 respectively. During the period ended September 30, 2025 the Company granted 448,398 new stock options.

 

On September 29, 2025, the Company also granted 142,160 Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) under its Omnibus Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share of the Company upon vesting. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on September 29, 2026, 2027 and 2028, subject to continued service.

Under the terms of the plan, settlement of the RSUs is expected to occur within 60 days following each vesting date. On the settlement date, the Company may, at its discretion, deliver either common shares, cash, or a combination of both. The Company currently intends to settle the RSUs through the issuance of common shares. Accordingly, the RSUs are accounted for as equity-settled share-based compensation.

The grant-date fair value of the RSUs was measured based on the market price of the Company’s common shares on September 29, 2025. This fair value will be recognized as compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the requisite service period using a straight-line attribution method.

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

 

b)         Fair value of financial instruments

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized in the following table:

 

        September 30, 2025   December 31, 2024
      Level       Fair value through profit & loss       Fair value through OCI       Fair value through profit & loss       Fair value through OCI  
Assets                                        
Accounts receivable     2       —         —         13,480       —

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:

Contingent Value Rights (CVRs)     9,417       —       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 $1,367.

 

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 September 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 operating assets 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 and Guatemalan Quetzals.

 

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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $351,414, and $270,189, respectively, of which, $324,831 ($229,525 in 2024) were in United States dollars, $196 ($265 in 2024) in Canadian dollars, $18,236 ($28,997 in 2024) in Brazilian real, $7,876 ($11,229 in 2024) in Honduran lempiras, $195 ($158 in 2024) in Mexican pesos, $11 ($14 in 2024) in Colombian Pesos, $63 ($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 $1,329.

 

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 September 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 September 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, Borborema and 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 September 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:

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, May 5, 2025 and August 5, Aura’s Board of Directors has declared and approved the payment of dividends for a total of $18.3 million, $29.8 million and $27.6 million, respectively. These correspond to $0.25 per share and $0.08 per Brazilian Depositary Receipt (“BDR”); $0.40 per share and $0.13 per BDR; and $0.33 per share and $0.11 per BDR, respectively. The dividends were paid on March 28, 2025, May 30, 2025 and September 5, 2025 respectively.

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 $2,376 in the period ended September 30, 2025 ($1,890: 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 $6,880 in the period ended September 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 47.7% ownership as of September 30, 2025 (54.8% as of December 31, 2024).

In the nine-month ended September 30, 2025, the Company paid to Northwestern the total amount of $38.8 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.

b)             Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these financial statements which may result in a loss to the Company in the future when certain events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses at each reporting date its loss contingencies related to ongoing legal proceedings by evaluating the likelihood of such proceedings, as well as the amounts claimed or expected to be claimed. Included in other provisions as of September 30, 2025, is a provision of $7,523 ($3,284 as of December 31, 2024) for loss contingencies related to ongoing legal claims.

 

31       PROFIT (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 nine months period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

 

      Three-month period ended September 30, 2025       For the three months ended September 30, 2024       Nine-month period ended September 30, 2025       Nine-month period ended September 30, 2024
