The accompanying notes form an integral part of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
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"), with three BDRs 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 ultimate 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 May 6, 2026.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 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, 2025, ("2025 Annual Financial Statements").
The accounting policies followed in these Unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 3 of 2025 Annual Financial Statements, except for those new or revised standards adopted as of January 1, 2026 as is the case with the amendments to IAS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. As disclosed in the 2025 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 service company in Mexico which has a functional currency of Mexican Pesos ("MXN Pesos"), a service company in Colombia which has a functional currency of Colombian Pesos ("COP") and certain Brazilian subsidiaries in Brazilian Reais ("BRL Reais"). All values in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand.
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, 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 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 is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19.
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.
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.
The Company has identified material 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 2025 Annual Financial Statements for a summary of the material 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.

The agreement has one annual financial covenant requiring that, beginning in the year ended December 31, 2025, following an initial grace period, where Cascar's Net Debt should be lower than 1.5x over Cascar's last 12 months EBITDA.
For the period ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance with all the financial covenants.
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:
Royalty payments: 2% of net smelter returns after commercial production on the first 725,000 ounces produced
("stepdown royalty threshold");
Stepdown royalty: Upon the aggregate of 725,000 ounces of royalty-generating gold 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;
Grantor's buyback option: After the stepdown royalty threshold is met, the 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 the earlier of an aggregate of 2,250,000 ounces of royalty-generating gold having been produced or January 1, 2050;
Pre-production payment: The Grantor shall make pre-production payment to the holder 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 of the commercial production date and the tenth (10th) year anniversary date of the royalty agreement; and
Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") payment: The holders of the royalty should pay the Grantor up to
$30 United States Dollars per each gold equivalent ounce of product and such payment shall be satisfied by Borborema as a rebate against ESG related costs. This payment shall be in the maximum aggregate amount of
$300 United States 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).
As of March 31, 2026 the current income tax liabilities is $ 60,622 ($66,765 as of December 31, 2025).

i) Swap agreements:
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has the following swap agreements:
Swap - Aura Almas (Itaú Bank) (a) CDI Current /
Non current
22,726 4,418
Swap - Apoena Mines (ABC Bank) CDI Current - (2,753)
(a) The swap agreements from the Company's subsidiary, Almas, was designated as a hedge accounting.
ii) Derivative Options
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 183,999 ounces outstanding for the Borborema Project. The put/calls collars have floor prices of $1,745 and ceiling prices at $2,400 per ounce of gold expiring between April 2026 and June 2028.
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.
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:
Level 1, which are inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2, which are inputs other than Level 1 quotes prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability; and,
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
March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are summarized in the following table:

The Company assessed the probability of achieving commercial production, 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 $1,687.
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%

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.
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:

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).
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.
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.
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:

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 March 31, 2026 is $5,145 and ($2,564 in December 31, 2025) 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 $954 in the period ended March 31, 2026 ($792 in the period ended March 31, 2025).
Royalty Agreement for Aura Almas
