Aura Minerals Inc. produced 157,574 gold equivalent ounces (GEO) in the first half of 2026, marking the highest first-half production in the company's history. This output represents a 27% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The company remains on track to meet its full-year 2026 production guidance of 340,000 to 390,000 GEO.

“Aura delivered a record first half, producing 158k GEO in H1 2026.”

— Rodrigo Barbosa, President and CEO

Financial performance for the first half of 2026 included an Adjusted EBITDA of US$440.5 million, a 135% increase year-over-year. Net income reached US$312.8 million for the period, supported by operating income of US$380.6 million and non-cash gains from gold hedge mark-to-market adjustments.

Second-quarter production totalled 75,437 GEO, reflecting scheduled mine sequencing across several operations. While production at the MSG mine declined 16% quarter-over-quarter, the company is actively investing in underground infrastructure and primary development to transition the mining method to a bottom-up approach. Aura expects to complete the production turnaround at the MSG mine starting in 2027.

Consolidated all-in sustaining costs (AISC) for the first half reached US$1,906 per GEO. The company maintains its consolidated 2026 AISC guidance of US$1,720 to US$1,865 per GEO, anticipating improvements in the second half of the year as operations benefit from higher-grade material and ongoing development programs.

Construction at the Era Dorada project in Guatemala continues to advance, with earthmoving now 60% complete as of June 30, 2026. Cumulative investment in the project reached US$15.3 million by the end of the quarter. Additionally, the company concluded the sale of the non-operating São Francisco mine for US$9.0 million, with US$3.0 million in cash proceeds received as of mid-year.
