Aura Minerals Announces Update To Its Coming Years Growth Outlook

Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO) (B3: AURA33) (" Aura " or the " Company ") announces a qualitative updated to its coming years growth outlook, incorporating the recently released of the Feasibility Study for the Era Dorada Project and the successful acquisition of MSG.

With the integration of these high-quality assets and projects, Aura Minerals has identified potential development scenarios in which annualized gold equivalent production (GEO) ¹ could reach levels exceeding 600,000 ounces over next years, driven primarily by the fully ramp up of Borborema, the integration and operational turnaround of MSG, the planned construction and ramp-up of the Era Dorada and Matupá projects and the potential expansion of production capacity at some of our mines and projects, such as Almas and Borborema.

1)  Borborema average production for the first three years, based on the S-K 1300 Feasibility Study Report dated March 28, 2025.
3)  The MSG was closed on December 6,2025. The 80k GEO reference is based on the mine production performance in 2024.
4)  Era Dorada average production for the first 4 years of production SK-1300 Feasibility Study dated December 08, 2025.
5)  Matupá average of production for the first four years based on the S-K 1300 Feasibility Study Report dated on March 28, 2025.

Rodrigo Barbosa commented: " I am glad to upgrade our production growth outlook to over 600,000 GEO per year, up from the former projection of 450,000 GEO. This increase comes from the acquisitions we closed this year and the expansion projects we have already identified. Since 2020 our strategy has been very clear: grow production with greenfield projects and expansions, extend mine life with exploration to increase Resources and Reserves, and improve our valuation through smart M&A and higher trading liquidity — and we have been delivering on all of this while remaining among the highest dividend yield companies in the industry since 2021. This update proves we are executing exactly on that plan. We brought Borborema into production, kept adding new ounces to Resources and Reserves, and after the Nasdaq listing we reached an average daily trading volume of US$30 million in November. I'm very pleased with the team's execution and with the results we are delivering to our shareholders. "

The Company emphasizes that any references to potential future production levels are preliminary and not intended to constitute projections, forecasts, guidance or commitments of any kind. These references are based solely on current development assumptions, which remain subject to significant uncertainty. Official construction decisions and definitive start-up dates for Era Dorada and Matupá have not yet been announced. Accordingly, any potential timeline to reach production levels of 600,000-ounce per year remains subject to future board approvals, permitting, financing, and other customary conditions, and may change materially.

Aura Minerals continues to advance its pipeline aggressively and will provide further updates as key milestones are achieved.
