Aura Announces Q1 2026 Financial and Operational Results, Another High Record Adjusted EBITDA | AUGO Stock News

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO) (B3: AURA33) (“Aura” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed its audited consolidated financial statements and earnings release (together, “Financial and Operational Results”) for the period ended March 31, 2026. The full version of the Financial and Operational Results can be viewed on the Company’s website at www.auraminerals.com, on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. or on SEC www.sec.com. Rodrigo Barbosa, Aura’s President, and CEO commented: “In Q1 2026, Aura delivered another strong step forward across our three core avenues for value creation: we advanced production growth through the recently built Borborema Mine and the ongoing work to improve mine conditions at our recently acquired MSG project. We also delivered a significant increase in our mineral inventory, with Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves growing from 3.4 million GEO to 7.2 million GEO since our Nasdaq IPO. At the same time, we substantially further enhanced liquidity, with average daily traded volume rising from $31 million in Q4 2025 to $94 million in Q1 2026. Additionally, we were granted the key license to begin construction of Era Dorada, followed by full Board approval for the project; at Borborema, we also got approval for the road relocation by DNIT, allowing us to increase Mineral Reserves and start planning for a potential expansion. This progress, combined with a record-high EBITDA of US$244 million, enabled us to announce now another record dividend of ~ US$65 million, or US$ 0.78 per share, for the quarter. Looking ahead, we expect a stronger second half of the year, driven by favorable mine sequencing that reinforces our full-year guidance. We continue to advance the construction of Era Dorada, the expansions at Almas and Borborema, and the update of the Matupá feasibility study.” Operational & Financial Headlines Q1 2026 (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025QoQChange %Q1 2025YoYChange%Total Production (GEO)82,137 82,067 0% 60,087 37% Total Sales (GEO)81,368 80,447 1% 60,491 35% Net Revenue382,606 321,661 19% 161,804 136% Gross Profit228,828 202,897 13% 78,428 192% Gross Margin60% 63% -3 p.p.48% 12 p.p.Adjusted EBITDA243,868 207,948 17% 81,479 199% Adjusted EBITDA Margin64% 65% -1 p.p.50% 14 p.p.Net Income95,158 (19,864)n.a.(73,249)n.a.Net Income Margin25% -6% n.a.-45% n.a.Adjusted Net Income109,464 73,276 49% 26,903 307% Adjusted Net Income Margin29% 23% 6 p.p.17% 12 p.p.Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,485 1,143 30% 1,149 29% All In Sustaining cost (US$/GEO)1,829 1,521 20% 1,461 25% Operating Cash Flow117,871 91,979 28% 41,229 185% Net Debt/LTM EBITDA0.16x0.28x-0.12x0.88x-0.72xTotal CAPEX44,107 45,779 -4%51,725 -15% Except as otherwise noted in this document, references herein to “US$” or and “$” are to thousands of United States dollars Headlines Another Record Production Quarter: Q1 2026 total production reached 82,137 gold equivalent ounces (GEO), above previous quarter and up 37% from Q1 2025 at current metal prices. At constant prices, Aura’s quarterly production increased by 1% compared to Q4 2025 and 41% above Q1 2025. Q1 2026 highlights: Almas: 15,838 GEO (+21% Y/Y)Borborema: 17,101 GEO (higher milling throughput).MSG addition: 8,580 GEO in the quarter. Sales Volumes: Q1 sales were 81,368 GEO, up 1% QoQ and 35% YoY at current prices, mainly from higher overall production, despite negatively impacted GEO conversion at Aranzazu.Record Net Revenues: Q1 reached US$382,606, up 19% QoQ and up 136% YoY, driven by higher gold prices and production; Borborema/MSG contributed to 34% of the total revenues in Q1 26. Average gold prices: Q1 2026: US$4,873/oz (+19% QoQ, +70% YoY).Average copper prices: Q1 2026: US$5.81/lb (+12% QoQ, +27% YoY). Record Adjusted EBITDA: Q1 hit US$ 243,868 (seventh consecutive quarterly record), up 17% QoQ and 199% YoY. Driven by higher production/sales and metal prices.AISC Performance: Q1 AISC was US$1,829/GEO, up 20% QoQ at current prices and up 25% YoY, mainly due to the addition of MSG (US$ 3,735/GEO), as well as Aranzazu GEO conversion, Apoena mine sequencing and negative impact of FX, due to the strong appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Mexican Peso. At constant Q1 2025 metal prices and ex-MSG, AISC was US$1,512/GEO, a 4% increase compared to Q1 2025 and 11% over Q4 2025. The Company expects consolidated 2026 AISC to be within the Company’s guidance range (US$ 1,720 – US$ 1,865 / Oz) with a reduction expected mainly from the second half of the year as production increases and cost reduction initiatives at MSG begin to deliver results.Consistent Recurring Free Cash Flow: Q1 2026 US$94,852, in line QoQ and 253% YoY, driven by record Adjusted EBITDA, offset by annual tax payments, realized losses with gold hedges (US$ 33 million) and temporary working capital consumption (mostly accounts payables and work-in-progress inventory).Net Income: US$ 95.2M, despite non-cash losses related to the MTM of gold collars (US$ 24 million). Excluding the non-cash losses, adjusted Net Income was positive at US$109.5 million, driven by improved results from operations and lower finance expenses QoQ and YoY, as well as lower current income taxes in Borborema and Almas due to income tax benefits in Brazil (Sudene and Sudam benefit).Stable Net Debt Position and Lower Financial Leverage: Q1 2026 US$115,181 (0.16x Net Debt/EBITDA LTM) OTHER UPDATES Q1 2026: Borborema: On February 25, 2026, Aura announces that it has signed the agreement of cooperation with DNIT (Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura Terrestre) to relocate the federal road, which crosses a portion of the Borborema mine. After the filing of Form 20-F on April 1st, 2026, Borborema has a total LOM of 36 years, considering the highway relocation, pit expansion and higher gold prices. Updated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources: On April 1st, 2026, filed its annual report on Form 20-F. Between 2024 and 2025, Aura updated its MRMR models to reflect new data. Updates were driven by exploration drilling, revised geological interpretations, changes in mining methods, extraction plans, and economic parameters, including commodity prices that impacted cut-off grades and reserve classification, as well as M&A activities, which expanded Aura’s resource base, resulting in a significant increase in Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves to 7,223k GEO, representing ~110% growth year over year after depletion—driven by the inclusion of the MSG Project, updates at Borborema, and additional reserves at Era Dorada. Other main updates include: Metal price assumptions used for estimating Mineral Reserves were updated to reflect a significantly higher pricing environment while maintaining a conservative outlook: gold at US$2,600/oz (up from US$2,000), copper at US$4.40/lb (up from US$4.20), and silver at US$35.00/oz (up from US$25.00).Inferred increased by more than 200% to 3,917k GEO, primarily driven by inclusion of MSG; Borborema MRMR updates and the incorporation of Almas underground. Development of Era Dorada Project: On April 13th, 2026, Aura’s Board of Directors approved the development of the Era Dorada Project. In addition to the core project approval, Aura has secured budget authorization for an advanced water treatment system, with plans to pursue all necessary government permits and approvals. This will enable the delivery of purified, potable water to the local community, further demonstrating Aura’s steadfast dedication to environmental stewardship, sustainable social impact, and responsible mining practices. Total CAPEX for this project is estimated at US$382.0 million with an estimated NPV of US$ 1,344.5 million and unlevered after-tax IRR of 35.6%, considering Feasibility Gold prices of US$ 3,177 per Oz. The project is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2028.

Total production in Q1 2026 reached 82,137 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”), slightly above Q4 2025 levels and 37% higher when compared to Q1 2025 at current metal prices, mainly due to the start of production at Borborema and addition of MSG and increased production from Almas, despite negative impact from lower grades at Aranzazu, negative impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu and lower production at Apoena. At constant prices, Aura’s quarterly production was slightly higher than Q4 2025 and 41% above Q1 2025. The Company remains on track to meet its Production Guidance for 2026, of 340k to 390k GEO. 2.2.

When compared to Q1 2025, Aura’s Net Revenue increased 136%, driven by the sales increase, due to the startup of Borborema and MSG acquisition, also due to higher metal prices (from US$2,862/oz in Q1 2025 to US$4,873/oz in Q1 2026). Copper sale prices also contributed positively, with the average copper price increasing by 27%, from US$4.58/lb in Q1 2025 to US$5.81/lb in Q1 2026. 2.3.

In first quarter of 2026, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) totaled US$153.8 million, up 29% to previous quarter and 84% above Q1 2025. When compared to the previous quarter, the increase is mainly related to the operation of MSG under Aura ownership for the entire quarter (vs. 1 month in the previous quarter) and impact of FX, due to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso in the period. Comparing with the Q1 2025, the cost increase is mainly due to the addition of MSG, commercial production from Borborema and increased production volumes at Almas, besides also negative FX impact (~5% appreciation of BRL). In Q1 2026, the increase in Net Revenue, which more than doubled year-over-year, more than offset the increase in COGS during the quarter, driving Gross Profit to US$ 228.8 million, achieving a Gross Margin of 60%. This represents an increase in Gross Profit of 13% from Q4 2025 and 192% when compared to Q1 2025. 2.4.

On a quarter-over-quarter basis, Cash Cost in Q1 2026 was US$1,485/GEO, up 30% compared to Q4 2025, mainly reflecting the consolidation of MSG. Excluding MSG, Cash Cost was US$1,298, an 14% increase driven by lower production at Aranzazu and Apoena due to mine sequencing, as well as higher costs at Almas related to mine development and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso during the period (+2.5% and +4%, respectively). On a year-over-year basis, Cash Cost increased by 29% compared to Q1 2025. Excluding MSG and at constant Q1 2025 metal prices, Cash Cost was US$1,298, representing a 13% increase compared to Q1 2025. This reflects the benefit from the addition of Borborema, which has a lower average cash cost, partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and Mexican Peso during the period (approximately 5% and 4%, respectively). AISC totaled US$1,829/GEO in Q1 2026, increasing 20% quarter-over-quarter and 25% year-over-year at current prices. Excluding MSG and at constant Q1 2025 metal prices, AISC was US$1,512, representing only a 4% increase, driven by the same factors impacting cash costs during the period, despite the negative FX impact. The Company expects both consolidated 2026 Cash Costs and AISC to be within the Company’s Guidance range with a reduction mainly from the second half of the year as production increases and initiatives to reduce costs at MSG start showing results. 2.5.

When compared to Q1 2025, G&A increased 63%, resulting from: (i) declaration of commercial production from Borborema (US$ 1 million increase; during the pre-commercial production period, a portion of the expenses were capitalized); (ii) addition of G&A associated expenses with the MSG Mine (US$ 2.5 million) ; increase in stock-based compensation and DSU liabilities (impacting Directors’ fees) as result of the significant increase in the Company’s share price (combined increase of US$ 2.4 million). Excluding these impacts, G&A would be mostly in line with Q1 2025. Exploration expenses totaled US$2.4 million in Q1 2026, a 9% decrease compared to Q4 2025 and 71% increase from Q1 2025, mainly due to Aranzazu and Almas, that combined represented 77% of the total expense in the quarter. This result is in line with the Company’s plan. Other Expenses are mainly related to a non-cash loss from revaluing the Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) issued in the January 2025 as part of the Bluestone Resources (owner of Era Dorada project) acquisition, which pay holders up to approximately C$ 31.0 million in 3 years once Era Dorada reaches commercial production. After the Board of Directors of Aura approved Era Dorada's construction, management raised the estimated likelihood of reaching production and shortened the expected payment timeline, increasing the CVR liability's value. This is a non-cash charge reflecting the project's de-risking — a milestone expected to create shareholder value well beyond the liability increase. No cash is owed until commercial production is achieved. The Company thus ended Q1 2026 with Operating Income of US$205.3 million, compared to an Operating Income of US$66.7 million in Q1 2025, also higher compared to the Operating Income of Q4 2025 of US$165.1 million, improvements due to higher gross profit due to the reasons discussed above. 2.6.

The Company’s Financial Result in Q1 2026 was a loss of US$(68.9) million, and an improvement compared to a loss of US$ (123.2) million recorded in Q4 2025 and a loss of (US$ 121.6) million in Q1 2025, mainly due to lower unrealized losses with gold derivatives registered this quarter vs. previous quarters. The financial result in Q1 2026 was mainly impacted by: Unrealized loss on gold hedges of US$24.1 million, arising from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments related to outstanding gold hedge positions, reflecting increase in gold prices between the start and the end of the quarter, coming from US$4,325.60 per Oz and reaching US$ 4,646.60 per Oz at the end of the period. In accordance with IFRS standards, the Company records MTM adjustments at the end of each reporting period for all outstanding derivative positions.Realized losses with gold hedges of US$33.3 million were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter. All of Aura’s outstanding gold collars (183,999 Ozs) are associated with the future production of the Borborema and will expire between April/2026 and June/2028. As previously disclosed, an estimated 80% of the production for the first 3 years of the Borborema Project were hedged in 2023 at ceiling prices of US$2,400 per Oz. 2.8.

The improvement on quarterly basis is mainly attributable to the improved Operating Income for the reasons discussed and lower financial expenses, due to a lower increase in gold prices between the beginning and end of Q1 2026 than in Q4 2025 which led to a lower negative MTM impact of outstanding gold derivatives. Compared to Q1 2025, Net Income improved also due to significant improvement in the Operating Income and reduction of Finance Expenses for the same reasons.

When compared to Q1 2025, production decreased by 23% also due to the sharp increase in gold and silver prices between the periods which also impacted GEO conversion. This result is in line with the Company’s mine plan and according to mine sequencing; production is expected to increase towards the last quarters of the year. At constant prices, Aranzazu production was 15% lower when compared to Q4 2025 and 23% lower compared to Q1 2025, that QoQ was mainly explained by lower grades of copper (from 1.45% to 1.15%), silver (from 21g/ton to 17g/ton) and gold (from 0.8g/ton to 0.7g/ton), due to mine sequencing and according to the Company’s plan. During the quarter, Aranzazu sold 16,218 GEO, 10% lower than last quarter. Sales exceeded production due to the timing of revenue recognition of the final 2025 shipment. Aranzazu’s Net Revenue in Q1 2026 was US$69.2 million, 4% higher compared to Q4 2025 and up 38% compared to Q1 2025, primarily driven by higher metal prices. Average sales prices rose quarter-over-quarter, with copper increasing 15%, gold 15% and silver 46% and year-over-year, copper increased 36%, gold 69% and silver 160%. In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) was US$32.5 million, slightly higher than the US$31.9 million of Q4 2025 and 7% above Q1 2025, mainly driven by inflation and the appreciation of the Mexican Peso. Considering slightly higher cost and lower production, Cash Cost was US$1,558/GEO for the quarter, 27% higher than Q4 2025 and 34% higher than Q1 2025. Aranzazu’s AISC was US$2,046 in the quarter, up 18% from Q4 2025 and up 32% from Q1 2025, primarily due to higher CAPEX for mine development QoQ and higher COGS YoY. At constant Q1 2025 metal prices, AISC was US$1,718/GEO, and increase of 20% over Q4 2025 and 36% over Q1 2025, mainly because of lower production due to grades and negative FX impact. In the quarter, Aranzazu’s general and administrative expenses decreased in the quarter totaled US$1.6 million, 7% lower compared to Q4 2025 as well as 11% compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses decreased 34%, to US$0.9 million, from US$1.4 million in Q4 2025, as drilling was more focused in conversion. Year-over-year, this expense increased 32%, mainly driven by increased exploration in regional targets (Arco Iris and others). Although there were lower sales in the quarter, Aranzazu’s Adjusted EBITDA was US$41.4 million in Q1 2026, reflecting a 1% increase from Q4 2025 and a 70% compared to Q1 2025, driven by robust Net Revenue growth from higher metal prices compared to 2025. 3.2 Apoena (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025QoQChange %Q1 2025YoYChange%Production (GEO)7,525 8,961 -16%8,876 -15%Sales (GEO)7,525 8,961 -16%9,408 -20%Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,380 1,450 -5%1,228 12%AISC (US$/GEO)2,129 2,427 -12%2,041 4% Net Revenue35,814 36,102 -1%26,353 36%Cost of goods sold(16,230)(13,961)16%(15,104)7%Gross Profit19,584 22,141 -12%11,249 74%Expenses(1,161)(3,525)-67%(1,356)-14%General and administrative expenses(1,003)(1,293)-22%(1,301)-23%Exploration expenses(177)(145)22%(124)43%Change in ARO estimate- (239)n.a.n.a.n.a.Other income (expenses)19 (1,848)-101%69 -72%EBIT18,423 18,616 -1%9,893 86%Adjusted EBITDA24,274 21,705 12%13,516 80%Financial Result(2,013)(661)257%(6,636)-70%Financial Income205 276 -26%5 4000%Financial expenses(2,218)(564)164%(6,641)-67%EBT16,410 18,328 -9%3,257 404%Total taxes(2,804)(3,500)-20%1,342 n.a.Current income tax expense(703)(1,852)-57%(663)6%Deferred income tax expense(2,101)14,552 13%2,005 n.a.Profit for the period13,606 14,828 -7%4,599 196% At Apoena, production was 7,525 GEO, 15% lower than Q1 2025 and 16% than Q4 2025, primarily driven by lower ore throughput and recovery rates, in line with the Company’s mine plan. According to mine sequencing, production is expected to increase towards the last quarters of the year. In Q1 2026, Apoena sold 7,525 GEO, consistent with its mine sequencing and lower grades during the first half of the year. Apoena’s Net Revenue totaled US$35.8 million for Q1 2026, slightly lower than Q4 2025, due to the lower sales, and 36% above the Q1 2025, driven primarily by higher gold prices. In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled US$16.2 million, representing a 16% increase compared to Q4 2025 and a 7% increase compared to Q1 2025. This increase was partially driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real during the period and a 53% increase in the total ore mined YoY, from 4.3 million tons to 6.6 million tons. QoQ, total ore mined increased 5%. These factors, combined with lower production levels (due to lower recovery rate) and higher strip ratio (from 7.9x in Q1 25 and 13.4x in Q4 25 to 12.2x in Q1 26), drove Cash Cost to US$1,380/GEO in the quarter, representing a 5% decrease compared to Q4 2025 and a 12% increase compared to Q1 2025, primarily reflecting lower production volumes for the reasons discussed above. In Q1 2026, Apoena’s AISC was US$2,129/GEO, 12% lower than Q4 2025, due to lower sustaining capex in 26%, from US$ 5.5 million to US$ 4.1 million and 22% lower G&A. Compared to Q1 2025, AISC increased 4%, below the cash cost, due to lower increase in capex, partially offset by lower lease payments. Apoena’s general and administrative expenses increased in the quarter and totaled US$1.0 million, 22% lower compared to Q4 2025 and 23% lower than Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased 22%, to US$0.2 million, from US$0.1 million in Q4 2025, due to increased regional mapping activity in the Jiboinha, Guaporé-Sararé and Serra Dourada targets. Year-over-year, this expense increased 43%, for the same reason. The Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2026 reached US$24.3million. This result reflects a significant increase of approximately 80% compared to Q1 2025, mainly driven by stronger gold prices. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, despite lower production and sales volumes and higher costs, the positive impact of higher gold prices more than offset these pressures, supporting an increase in Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter. 3.3 Minosa (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025QoQChange %Q1 2025YoYChange%Production (GEO)17,399 17,818 -2%17,654 -1%Sales (GEO)17,456 16,972 3%17,526 0%Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,188 1,087 9%1,149 3%AISC (US$/GEO)1,370 1,267 8%1,249 10% Net Revenue80,020 67,476 19%48,062 66%Cost of goods sold(22,680)(19,831)15%(21,476)6%Gross Profit57,340 47,645 20%26,586 116%Expenses(1,245)(8,998)-86%(1,615)-23%General and administrative expenses(1,101)(730)51%(1,135)-3%Exploration expenses(65)(85)-24%(236)-72%Other income (expenses)(79)(8,183)-99%(244)-68%EBIT56,095 38,647 45%24,971 125%Adjusted EBITDA58,105 47,900 21%26,556 119%Financial Result(1,246)(1,260)-1%(1,312)-5%Financial Income65 63 3%111 -41%Financial expenses(1,311)(1,323)-1%(1,423)-8%Profit before income taxes54,849 37,387 47%23,659 132%Total taxes(14,770)(8,219)80%(6,218)138%Current income tax expense(14,489)(11,463)26%(6,611)119%Deferred income tax expense(281)3,244 -109%393 n.a.Profit for the period40,079 29,168 37%17,441 130% In Q1 2026, production totaled 17,399 GEO in Q1 2026, 2% lower than Q4 2025 and in line with Q1 2025, mainly as a result of lower gold extraction during the period and consistent with Aura’s expectations. In terms of sales, Minosa sold 17,456 GEO, 3% above Q4 2025 and same level of Q1 2025, mainly due to the shipping schedule of gold from December 2025. This result aligned with the gold price increase drove Minosa’s Net Revenue to US$80.0 million in Q1 2026, up 19% from Q4 2025, while compared to Q1 2025 it grew 66%. In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) totaled US$22.7 million, representing a 15% increase compared to the previous quarter and a 6% increase compared to Q1 2025, due to increase in total ore mined (28% YoY and 2% QoQ). The Cash Cost was US$1,188/GEO for the quarter, up 9% from Q4 2025 and also up 3% from Q1 2025. The All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) for Q1 2026 was US$1,370/GEO, up 8% from Q4 2025. Compared to Q1 2025, AISC increased 11%, primarily due to higher CAPEX, that increased 9%, from US$2.2 million to US$ 2.4 million in Q1 2026. General and administrative expenses increased in the quarter totaled US$1.1 million, 51% higher compared to Q4 2025 and 3% lower compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to lower expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses decreased 24% compared to Q4 2025, as efforts are focused on understanding last year drilling campaign. In Q1 2026, Minosa’s Adjusted EBITDA reached US$58.1 million, up 21% from Q4 2025 and 119% from Q1 2025, driven by higher gold prices, despite reduced production from lower gold extraction during the period. 3.4 Almas (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025QoQChange %Q1 2025YoYChange%Production (GEO)15,838 15,872 0%13,101 21%Sales (GEO)14,048 15,872 -11%13,101 7%Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,204 837 44%1,069 13%AISC (US$/GEO)1,376 962 43%1,195 15% Net Revenue68,693 65,774 4%37,127 85%Cost of goods sold(21,670)(17,043)27%(16,514)31%Gross Profit47,023 48,731 -3%20,613 128%Expenses(2,048)(6,720)-70%(1,046)96%General and administrative expenses(1,137)(1,099)3%(803)42%Exploration expenses(921)(783)18%(237)289%Other income (expenses)10 (4,838)n.a.(6)n.a.EBIT44,975 42,011 7%19,567 130%Adjusted EBITDA49,720 50,673 -2%22,080 125%Financial Result(1,709)(7,943)-78%(3,740)-54%Financial Income317 912 -65%1,268 -75%Financial expenses(2,026)(8,855)-77%(5,008)-60%Profit before income taxes43,266 34,068 27%15,827 173%Total taxes(2,986)(15,815)-81%(4,757)-37%Current income tax expense(7,590)(14,601)-48%(5,998)27%Deferred income tax expense4,604 (1,214)n.a.1,241 271%Profit for the period40,280 18,253 121%11,070 264% During Q1 2026, Almas produced 15,838 GEO, representing a 21% increase compared to Q1 2025 and remaining in line with Q4 2025 levels. This performance was driven by higher ore throughput and improved mine performance, reflecting the benefits of the plant expansion, which more than offset lower grades during the period as result of mine sequencing. In the quarter, Almas sold 14,048 GEO, lower than production as the last shipment of the quarter is in transit to the refinery. Net Revenue was US$68.7 million in Q1 2026, up 85% from Q1 2025, driven by increased production and sales volumes, supported by higher ore processing from the plant expansion, and elevated metal prices. Compared to Q4 2025, Net Revenue rose 4%, primarily due to a significant rise in gold prices. In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) was US$21.7 million, 31% above Q1 2025 and 27% when compared to Q4 2025, primarily attributed to a higher total ore mined over the Q1 2025 as result of increased production capacity. The appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar also had a negative impact. The Cash Cost was US$1,204/GEO in Q1 2026, 44% higher than Q4 2025 and 13% higher than Q1 2025, due to mine sequence, with lower grades (from 1.10 g/ton in Q1 25 and 1.06g/ton in Q4 25 to 0.95g/ton in Q1 26) and higher strip ratio (from 5.21 in Q1 25 and 4.22 in Q4 25 to 6.51 in Q1 26). Almas’ All-in Sustaining Cost was US$ 1,376/GEO in Q1 2026, up 43% from Q4 2025 and 15% higher than Q1 2025, in line with the cash cost evolution in the period. Compared to Q1 2025, there was an increase of 145% in CAPEX, mainly due to higher sustaining CAPEX for mine development (push back), counting US$ 4.9 million of total CAPEX in Q1 2026 from US$ 2.0 million in Q4 2025 and in line with the Company’s plan. General and administrative expenses decreased in the quarter totaled US$1.1 million, 3% higher when compared to Q4 2025 and 42% higher compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher expenses in third party services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased 18% compared to Q4 2025 and increased 289% year over year, mainly driven by the focus on Almas underground project. Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$49.7 million in Q1 2026, 125% higher than Q1 2025 result, driven by 21% increase in ore processing from the plant expansion, improved operational performance and elevated gold prices. Compared to Q4 2025, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2%, primarily due to higher costs. 3.5 Borborema (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025QoQChange %Production (GEO)17,101 15,777 8%Sales (GEO)16,609 15,777 5%Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,200 931 29%AISC (US$/GEO)1,256 1,111 13% Net revenue81,988 65,530 25%Cost of goods sold(25,445)(21,870)16%Gross Profit56,543 43,660 30%Expenses(1,228)(1,603)-23%General and administrative expenses(1,015)(1,700)-40%Exploration expenses(211)(53)298%Other income (expenses)(2)150 n.a.EBIT55,315 42,057 32%Adjusted EBITDA60,939 49,168 24%Financial Result(9,521)(10,254)-7%Financial Income220 8,557 -97%Finance expenses(9,741)(18,811)-48%EBT45,794 31,803 44%Total taxes(5,259)(15,192)-65%Current income tax expense(6,613)(15,971)-59%Deferred income tax expense1,354 779 74%Profit/(loss) for the period40,535 16,611 144% Borborema’s production totaled 17,101 GEO, representing an 8% increase compared to the previous quarter, reflecting continued progress along the ramp-up curve and higher milling throughput. In the quarter, Borborema sold 16,609 GEO, a 5% increase compared to the previous quarter. Net Revenue was US$82.0 million in Q1 2026, up 25% from Q4 2025, driven by increased sales volumes and supported by higher metal prices. In Q1 2026, cost of goods sold (COGS) increased 16% compared to Q4 2025, mainly due to a one-off maintenance event at the CIL plant during the period. The Cash Cost was US$1,200/GEO in Q1 2026, an increase of 29% compared to Q4 2025, due to a slightly higher strip ratio (from 2.02x to 2.69x) due to mine sequencing and lower recovery rates (from 91.7% to 88.2%) while grades remained stable. Borborema’s All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,256/GEO in Q1 2026, 13% higher than Q4 2025, due to mainly the increase in the Cash Cost. General and administrative expenses decreased 40% in the quarter compared to Q4 2025, totaling US$1.0 million, mainly due to lower expenses in services. In the quarter, exploration expenses increased compared to Q4 2025, because of an increase in studies of regional targets. Adjusted EBITDA was US$60.9 million in Q1 2026, driven by strong Net Revenue from 8% increase in production and favorable gold prices while costs remained relatively stable. 3.6 MSG (US$ thousand)Q1 2026Q4 2025¹Production (GEO)8,580 4,761 Sales (GEO)9,508 4,797 Cash Cost (US$/GEO)2,900 2,148 AISC (US$/GEO)3,735 3,132 Net revenue46,913 20,238 Cost of goods sold(35,274) (14,163) Gross Profit11,639 6,075 Expenses(1,911) (582) General and administrative expenses(1,882) (224) Exploration expenses(29) (134) ARO Change in estimate- (250) Other income (expenses)- 26 EBIT9,728 5,493 Adjusted EBITDA17,440 9,574 Financial Result2,429 669 Financial Income42 - Finance expenses2,387 669 Profit before income taxes12,157 6,162 Total taxes(3,279) (1,753) Current income tax expense(4,477) - Deferred income tax expense1,198 (1,753) Profit/(loss) for the period8,878 4,409 Only December 2025 considered. At MSG, production totaled 8,580 GEO, with sales of 9,508 GEO. This production resulted in a Net Revenue of US$46.9 million in Q1 2026. The Cash Cost was US$2,900/GEO in Q1 2026. MSG All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$3,735/GEO in Q1 2026, reflecting the turnaround phase. As part of the ongoing turnaround at the mine, Aura dedicated Q1 to critical underground infrastructure upgrades — a fundamental step that will continue throughout the year and enable more consistent development and higher production levels in the coming years. The Company expects production at MSG to be lower in Q2 compared to Q1, while cash costs and AISC are anticipated to increase. This reflects the Company’s decision to focus during Q2 on developing areas of the mine that are expected to improve operational performance starting in Q3 2026 and support sustained gains in the following years. In Q1, Serra Grande established the structural foundations for the asset’s turnaround. We advanced underground development, with approximately 1,800 meters completed during the period, and accelerated the surface exploration program. This effort complements the previously disclosed resource and reserve update and supports the ramp-up toward the second half of 2026, when the expected production turnaround for 2027 begins to materialize. The technical agenda progressed in line with our safety priorities: the quarter was completed with zero lost-time injuries (LTI), reflecting the strong adoption of the Aura 360° culture across leadership and operational teams, and reinforcing our commitment to safe, disciplined mining and long-term value creation. 4.
