Aura Minerals Inc. Announces Preliminary Q1 2026 Production Results

Aura Minerals Inc. reported preliminary Q1 2026 production results, achieving a record high of 82,137 gold equivalent ounces (GEO), a 37% increase compared to Q1 2025. The company is on track with its annual guidance despite facing challenges such as infrastructure upgrades at the MSG mine and lower production at Apoena and Borborema due to mine sequencing. The company anticipates higher production in the second half of the year from Aranzazu, Apoena, MSG, and Borborema, while Almas and Minosa are expected to remain stable. Aura is advancing several projects, including the Borborema expansion and the Almas underground development, to support future growth towards an annual production target of over 600,000 GEO. Individual mine performances varied, with Almas showing a significant increase, while Aranzazu and Apoena experienced decreases attributed to mine sequencing and metal price fluctuations impacting GEO conversion. Sales for Q1 2026 were 81,364 GEO, a slight increase from the previous quarter.
