Adjusted Net Income of Q1 2025 does not consider deffered taxes over non-monetary items. Except as otherwise noted in this document, references herein to "US$" or and "$" are to thousands of United States dollarsHeadlinesTotal production in Q2 2025 reached 64,033 gold equivalent ounces ("GEO"), 7% higher than Q1 2025 and in line compared to the same period last year at current metal prices. At constant metal prices, production increased by 9% when compared to both Q1 2025 and Q2 2024. During the quarter, Aura commenced operations at Borborema — anticipated to be one of the Company's largest and lowest cash cost operations. In H1 2025, production was 124,120 GEO an increase when compared to the result of H1 2024 of 122,680 GEO, at constant prices. Compared to the public guidance for 2025, this total production represents 47% of the low proposed guidance and 41% of the high proposed guidance, reinforcing the Company's confidence in meeting the 2025 production guidance, since Borborema is still in the ramp up phase.Sales volumes was 62,452 in GEO this quarter, a decrease by 1% in Q2 2025 from Q2 2024 and increased by 3% when compared to the previous quarter. This result in the quarter was in line with Aura's expectation, reflecting Apoena mine's investment phase and also due to lower sales volumes at Aranzazu, considering the negative impact of the copper to gold conversion (despite the total sale copper was 16,815 Klb, a 30% increase compared to Q2 2024 and 23% higher than Q1 2025) and Minosa, all partially offset by the preliminary production of Borborema and higher sales volumes at Almas. Compared to the same period of 2024, sales decreased mainly due to lower production at Minosa and Apoena, gold prices that negatively impacted GEO conversion at Arazanzu. In H1 2025, sales volumes decreased by 7%, mainly due to lower sales volumes at Aranzazu (due to GEO conversion), Apoena and Minosa.Net Revenues reached a record high of US$190,436 in Q2 2025, representing an increase of 42% compared to Q2 2024 and an increase of 18% when compared to Q1 2025, mainly due to higher gold price. In H1 2025, revenues reached US$352,240, an increase of 32% compared to the same period of 2024.Average net realized gold sale prices increased by 14% in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025, with an average of US$3,185/oz in the quarter. Compared to Q2 2024, average net realized gold sale prices increased 44% (US$2,208). In H1 2025, average net realized gold sale prices reached US$2,986, a 42% increase when compared to H1 2024.Average realized copper sale prices increased 5% compared to Q1 2025, with an average of US$4.46/lb in the quarter, and were in line with the same period in 2024. In H1 2025, average copper sale prices reached US$4.36, a 5% increase when compared to H1 2024.Adjusted EBITDA reached another record high of US$106,224 in Q2 2025, marking the fourth consecutive quarterly record reported by Aura. The increase was driven by a combination of higher gold prices, cash costs under control and increase in sales in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025. When compared to Q2 2024, Adjusted EBITDA reached a 90% increase.AISC for Q2 2025 was US$1,449/GEO, a decrease by 1% when compared to Q1 2025 (US$1,461/GEO) and an increase of 9% over the Q2 2024, in line with the Company's expectations. At constant Q2 2024 metal prices, AISC would have been US$1,312 in the quarter, a decrease of 1% compared to Q2 2024, due to lower AISC at Almas, Aranzazu (at constant prices) and Apoena.The Company's Net Debt reached US$280,560 by Q2 2025, due to capex of US$50.3 million, mostly related to the final phase of construction of the Borborema Project, dividends of US$29.8 million, annual income taxes paid of US$29.5 million and reduction of US$13.7 million in debt due to the settlement of Nemesia SARL debt related to the Bluestone acquisition. The net debt-to-last 12 months EBITDA ratio reduced to 0.8x at the end of Q2 2025, from 0.9x at the end of Q1 2025.OTHER UPDATES:U.S. Public Offering: In July 2025, Aura concluded its U.S. Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of 8,100,510 common shares, at a public offering price of US$24.25 per common share. Aura raised around US$196 million. The common shares were listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "AUGO" and began trading on July 16, 2025. The U.S. listing is part of Aura's strategy to unlock value for our shareholders, improve liquidity of its common shares, as well as strengthen and diversify its shareholder base through broader access to global capital markets.Borborema Ramp-Up and First once sold: Borborema Project ("Borborema") started its ramp-up phase on schedule and on budget, with the mine and plant currently in operation, and it produced in Q2 2025 totaled 2,577 GEO following the project's first gold pour. Borborema is poised to become a cornerstone asset for Aura, anticipated to deliver the second highest annual gold production among the Company's five operating mines. Built in just 19 months with zero lost time incidents, the project exemplifies Aura's commitment to developing simple, scalable, and efficient operations. It also sets a benchmark in ESG performance, incorporating renewable energy sources and utilizing grey water from the local municipality. Aura believes that Borborema remains on track to declare commercial production by the end of Q3 2025.Acquisition of MSG (Mineração Serra Grande Gold) Mine in Goiás, Brazil: In June 2025, Aura announced the acquisition from AngloGold all of the issued and outstanding securities of Mineração Serra Grande S.A. ("MSG"), owner of the MSG gold mine located in Crixás, in the state of Goiás, Brazil. In consideration for the acquisition of MSG, Aura will pay to AngloGold: (i) an upfront cash consideration of US$ 76 million on closing subject to certain working capital adjustments as at the closing date; plus (ii) deferred consideration payments equivalent to a 3% net smelter returns participation over the currently identified Mineral Resource of MSG (inclusive of the Mineral Reserve) payable quarterly. The Transaction excludes certain current subsidiaries of MSG, which hold assets that do not form part of MSG's mining operations or Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. These subsidiaries will be spun off from MSG prior to the closing of the Transaction. The closing of the Transaction is expected to happen by Q3 2025, and no later than Q4 2025.Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Era Dorada Project: In June 2025, Aura filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Company's wholly owned Era Dorada Project, in the United States in accordance with S-K 1300 and NI 43.101. The PEA indicated Mineral Resources of 1.9 million ounces of gold, assuming 6.35 million tonnes at 9.31 grams per tonne. The total production of approximately 1.4 million ounces of gold over a 17 years Life of Mine ("LOM"), and with average production of 91k ounces of gold for the first 4 years.

At constant metal prices, production increased by 9% when compared to both Q1 2025 and Q2 2024. The result was mainly attributable to stronger operational performance at Aranzazu, which posted higher metallurgical recoveries and improved head grades for all metals, on both an annual and quarterly basisDuring the quarter, Aura commenced operations at Borborema — anticipated to be one of the Company's largest and lowest cash cost operations. In the quarter, Borborema's preliminary production totaled 2,577 GEO, following the project's first gold pour. The project was completed on schedule, within 19 months, and on budget and Aura expects to achieve to declare Borborema commercial production by the end of Q3 2025.In the first half of 2025, production reached 124,120 GEO, representing a 6% decline at current metal prices. At constant prices — which neutralize the effect of copper price fluctuations in the GEO conversion at Aranzazu — this reflects an increase over the 122,259 GEO produced in H1 2024. . At current metal prices, production in Q2 2025 was consistent with Q2 2024, and year-to-date production represents 47% of the lower end and 41% of the upper end of the full-year guidance. This performance reinforces the Company's confidence in meeting its 2025 targets, especially considering that Borborema is still in the ramp-up phase. Excluding Borborema, total production to date accounts for 52% of the lower bound and 47% of the upper bound of the guidance range.2.2.

The strong performance was primarily driven by the higher metal prices, particularly gold, with the average realized gold price increasing by 44%, from US$2,208/oz in Q2 2024 to US$3,185/oz in Q2 2025. Copper prices also contributed positively, with the average realized copper price increasing by 5%, from US$4.26/lb in Q2 2024 to US$4.46/lb in Q2 2025.With this result, Net Revenues reached US$352,240 in H1 2025, an increase of 32% when compared to the same period of 2024. The result was mainly driven by higher gold prices, higher sales at Almas and the start of the Borborema Project. In H1 2025, average net realized prices reached US$2,986, a 42% increase when compared to H2 2024; and average copper prices reached US$4.36/lb, a 5% increase when compared to H2 2024.2.3.

Year-on-year, the increase in cash cost was mainly attributed to the increase in costs at Aranzazu, mainly due to impact from the copper-to-GEO conversion in production. At constant Q2 2024 metal prices, Cash Costs decreased by 4%. Quarter-over-quarter, cost improvements at Aranzazu and Apoena were sufficient to offset higher costs at Almas, which faced a decrease in grades as anticipated in the mine sequencing plan.In H1 2025, Cash Cost averaged US$1,147/oz, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period in 2024, the increase was primarily driven by the impact of the copper-to-GEO conversion at Aranzazu and lower production at Apoena, as expected. At constant H1 2024 metal prices, Cash Costs increased by 2%The consolidated All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) was US$1,449 per GEO, representing a 9% increase compared to Q2 2024 and a 1% decrease versus Q1 2025, in line with the cash cost trend. When calculated using constant metal prices from Q2 2024, AISC for the quarter would have been US$1,312 per GEO, a decrease of 1%. In H1 2025, AISC was US$1,455, a 11% increase compared to H1 2024. At constant H1 2024 metal prices, AISC increased by 3%.2.4.

The result for the quarter was mainly impacted by higher General & Administrative (G&A) expenses, driven by increased professional and consulting fees, as well as audit cost adjustments primarily related to the Company's U.S. listing. In H1 2025, there was a 16% increase in Operational Expenses due to a 39% increase in G&A, partially offset by a 37% reduction in Exploration Expenses.Exploration expenses totaled US$1.7 million in Q2 2025, a 25% increase compared to Q1 2025 and 42% reduction from Q2 2024. Exploration activities in the quarter were concentrated in Almas and Minosa. In Matupá, efforts were focused on expanding reserves in regions close to X1, Pé Quente and other strategic areas. In Carajás, exploration work successfully confirmed copper mineralization, significantly expanding the mineral potential of the region. In H1 2025, the reduction of the Q2 2025 partially compensated the higher expenses in Q1 2025, closing the semester with a 37% reduction, in line with the Company's plan and due to the capitalization of exploration expenses in certain targets.The Company thus ended Q2 2025 with Operating Income of US$90.9 million, compared to an Operating Income of US$40.8 million in Q2 2024, also higher compared to the Operating Income of Q1 2025 of US$67.4 million, which reflects a positive result of higher gross profit.2.6.

The Company's ongoing commitment to improving asset productivity and maintaining disciplined cost control enabled it to fully capture the benefit of rising metal prices. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA doubled compared to Q2 2024 and grew 30% over Q1 2025.The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by strong cost control – only 4% increase - and higher gold and copper prices. This result was also noted on the EBITDA margin gain of 14 p.p. Compared to Q1 2025, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was supported not only by stronger metal prices and also by a 3% increase in sales volume.In H1 2025, the Company maintained stable Cost of Goods Sold compared to H1 2024. Combined with the positive impact of higher metal prices, this led to an Adjusted EBITDA of US$187.7 million, a 72% increase over the same period last year. As a result, the Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 53%, up from 41% in H1 2024.2.7.

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 in Q2 2025 were related to cash settlement of outstanding gold collars during the quarter, driven by the expiration of gold collars within the quarter.Non-cash loss of US$8.8 million related to the settlement of the Nemesia SARL debt with equity instruments, reflecting the difference between the fair value of the shares at the time when the shares were issued and the carrying amount of the debt acquired in the Bluestone transaction at the closing of the transaction.Most of Aura's outstanding gold collars (225,996 Ozs out of about 234,598 Ozs) are associated with the future production of the Borborema Project and will expire between Jul/2025 and Jun/2028. As previously disclosed, about 80% of the production of the first 3 years of the Borborema Project is hedged at ceiling prices of US$2,400.2.8.

This improvement vs. Q2 2024 and Q1 2025 was mainly due to the improvement in the Operating Income during Q2 2025. In addition, compared to Q1 2025, there was a decrease in Finance Costs in the quarter, related to a lower unrealized loss on gold hedges in Q2 2025, which resulted from mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open hedge positions, driven by increase in gold price between the start and the end of the quarterIn H1 2025, Net Loss reached US$(65.1), also mainly due to mark-to-market (MTM) adjustments on open hedge positions, driven by increase in gold price between the start and the end of the semester.Adjusted Net IncomeAs result of increase in the Company's Operating Income, adjusted net income in Q2 2025 was US$36.8 million in the period, compared to US$9.4 million in Q2 2024, excluding:Non-cash losses related to gold hedges: US$(24.3) millionFX losses: US$(2.5) millionDeferred taxes over non-monetary items US$6.9 millionLoss on settlement of liability with equity instruments: US$(8.8) millionManagerial view – Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Net Income Q2 2025 Bridge (US$ million)3.

When compared to Q2 2024, production decreased by 14% due to the sharp increase in gold prices between the periods which also impacted GEO conversion. At constant prices, Aranzazu production increased by 15%, also due to higher grades and a recovery improvement.Aranzazu's Net Revenue totaled US$62.5 million for Q2 2025, 24% higher than Q1 2025. Net Revenue grew 27% compared to Q2 2024, driven by higher metal prices. In H1 2025, the Net Revenue of Aranzazu reached US$112.8 million, a 21% increase compared to H1 2024.The Cash Cost was US$1,110/GEO for the quarter, 5% lower than Q1 2025 and 16% higher than Q2 2024. In H1 2025, Cash Cost increased by 21%, with a total of US$1,136/GEO in the semester. Aranzazu`s AISC was US$1,514 in the quarter, representing a 26% increase compared to the same period last year mainly due to differences in metal prices.

In H1 2025, the AISC was US$1,248, an increase of 1% compared to the same period in 2024 at same metal prices.The cost discipline aligned with better productivity drove the Adjusted EBITDA to US$35.7 million in Q2 2025, 46% higher than Q1 2025 and 55% higher than Q2 2024. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$60.1 million, an increase of 45% over H2 2024.

Compared to Q1 2025, production decreased 7%, consistent with the mine plan, as lower-grade ore was mined. Despite this decrease, production remains in line with the Company' full year 2025 expectations. Pre-stripping activities are underway while we push back the Nosde and Lavrinha mines to regain access to higher volume and higher grades by end of 2026 at Nosde Phase III.Apoena's Net Revenue totaled US$26.7 million for Q2 2025, in line with Q1 2025. Compared to Q2 2024, the significant increase of 41% mainly due to the higher gold price, offsetting the lower production. In H1 2025, Apoena reached a Net Revenue of US$53.1 million, an increase of 18% compared to H1 2024.The Cash Cost was US$1,168/GEO for the quarter, a 5% decrease versus Q1 2025 and 7% lower than Q2 2024. Apoena's AISC was US$ 1,751/GEO in Q2 2025, a drop of 14% versus Q1 2025 and a decrease of 11% compared to Q2 2024, mainly driven by increase in the proportion of costs capitalized as expansion capex, related to the Nosde pit. In H1 2025, the AISC was US$1,906, an increase of 27% compared to the same period in 2024, which was expected considering the mine sequencing. Despite the ongoing investments in expansion, which have temporarily impacted production, the focus on cost control combined with higher gold prices drove Adjusted EBITDA to US$16.1 million in Q2 2025, up 114% compared to Q2 2024 and 19% higher than Q1 2025. In H1 2025, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$29.7 million, an increase of 29% over H2 2024.Apoena's net income totaled US$8.8 million in Q2 2025, a 91% increase over Q1 2025 and a significant improvement from the net loss of US$3.5 million recorded in Q2 2024 resulting in a net income of US$13.4 million in the H1 2025, an increase of 998% when compared to H1 2024.3.3 Minosa(US$ thousand)Q2 2025 Q1 2025 % Q2 2024 % H1 2025 H1 2024 % Production (GEO)18,039 17,654 2%19,142 -6%35,693 38,328 -7%Sales (GEO)17,836 17,526 2%19,738 -10%35,362 38,966 -9%Cash Cost (US$/GEO)1,178 1,149 3%1,094 8%1,164 1,140 2%AISC (US$/GEO)1,292 1,249 3%1,159 12%1,271 1,223 4% Net Revenue55,776 48,062 16%41,962 33%103,838 79,609 30%Cost of goods sold(22,056)(21,476)3%(23,171)-5%(43,532)(47,213)-8%Gross Profit33,720 26,586 27%18,791 79%60,306 32,396 86%Expenses(1,430)(1,371)4%(1,242)15%(2,801)(2,392)17%G&A(1,166)(1,135)3%(1,242)-6%(2,301)(2,391)-4%Exploration expenses(264)(236)12%- n.a.(500)(1)n.a.EBIT32,290 25,215 28%17,549 84%57,505 30,004 92%Adjusted EBITDA33,533 26,856 25%19,120 75%60,646 32,796 85%Financial Result(1,189)(1,556)-24%(2,064)-42%(2,745)(4,426)-38%Financial expenses(1,442)(1,312)10%(1,661)-13%(2,754)(3,836)-28%Other revenue/expenses253 (244)n.a.(403)n.a.9 (590)n.a.EBT31,101 23,659 31%15,485 101%54,760 25,578 114%Total taxes(7,425)(6,218)19%(4,948)50%(13,643)(8,743)56%Current income tax (expense)(7,774)(6,611)18%(4,936)57%(14,385)(8,508)69%Deferred income tax (expense) recovery349 393 -11%(12)n.a.742 (235)n.a.Net Income23,676 17,441 36%10,537 125%41,117 16,835 144%In the second quarter of 2025, Minosa produced 18,039 GEO, up 2% when compared to the previous quarter, resulting from higher grades processed during the quarter due to mine sequencing.

Global network taps tree rings to study impact of tropical drought

Global network taps tree rings to study impact of tropical droughtmittankTue, 08/05/2025 - 15:14Global network taps tree rings to study impact of tropical drought Image Tree-ring sampling of a tropical cedar tree in a dry forest in Brazil. A new study that U of A researchers co-authored shows that while droughts appear to have had modest impact on tropical tree growth in the past, that may not be the case for long. Courtesy of Peter Groenendijk Today A new study leveraging 20,000 tree-ring records and nearly 150 scientists' contributions from across the globe shows that, while droughts appear to have had a modest impact on tropical tree growth in the past, that may not be the case for long. The research team calculated that, on average across the tropics, trees grew 2.5 percent less during drought years compared to years with normal or above-average precipitation. Surprisingly, the researchers also found an almost complete recovery in the year following the drought. However, that resilience, they warn, could weaken when droughts occur more frequently and become more intense – particularly within drier, semi-arid regions of the tropics.Few comprehensive studies on tropical tree rings have been published, largely because year-long warm and moist conditions were thought to prevent regular annual ring formation. But scientists have come to understand that some tropical tree species and their rings can chart water availability, explained Valerie Trouet, co-author on the study and professor of dendrochronology at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research."Tropical dendrochronology has long been deemed impossible or at least too complex to use for synthesis science," said Trouet. "In this paper, we use the largest network of tropical tree-ring chronologies yet, to do exactly that, to synthesize the impact of drought on woody tree growth in tropical forests.""Until now, we didn't know to what extent stem growth in tropical forests decreases during droughts," said Pieter Zuidema, lead author on the paper and professor at the Netherland's Wageningen University & Research. "With our new network of tree-ring records, we were able to calculate the effect of droughts on stem growth across the tropics for the first time."Clogging the carbon sinkTropical forests and woodlands are key components of the global carbon cycle, specifically in their role in sequestering CO2 – often for decades. During drought, tree growth usually slows, which reduces the amount of carbon stored. To understand and predict the risks that droughts pose for the long-term capture of carbon in tropical vegetation, the researchers used the largest collection of tropical tree-ring data to date: more than 20,000 tree-ring series from nearly 500 locations in 36 countries. The tree-ring data were collected at 483 locations spread across the tropics – from wet and warm Amazonian forests to dry forests in southern Africa and cooler Asian mountain forests. The researchers determined the driest years since 1930 for all locations, then calculated how much narrower the tree rings were during those years compared to normal years. They also measured the width of tree rings in the two years following a drought. Focusing their analysis on the top 10 percent of driest years, the research team observed stem growth of tropical trees decreased on average by 2.5 percent. For the top 5 percent of extreme years, that global average of growth decreased even further, down to 3.2 percent, explained Flurin Babst, a co-author on the study who helped design and run the analysis and an assistant professor in the U of A School of Natural Resources and the Environment. "An average growth reduction of 3.2 percent under drought may seem small," said Babst. "But given the dominant role that tropical forests and woodlands play in the global carbon cycle, the impacts of intensifying drought on the land carbon sink could be substantial. This is relevant for the many initiatives worldwide that use tropical trees as carbon reservoirs to offset anthropogenic CO2 emissions."In drier, semi-arid tropical regions, the average tree growth slowed down even further, by roughly 10 percent in a quarter of the locations included in the study. "This happened mainly in hot and dry regions, such as in northeastern Brazil and southern Africa," Zuidema said. "The effects of droughts can be more extreme there because trees shed their leaves quickly and the soil retains less moisture. In wetter areas, such as Amazonian forests, the effects were weaker." The researchers warn that stem growth resilience could weaken when droughts occur more frequently and become more intense – something they have witnessed within the past few decades in research locations within the study. "Recent droughts have already caused stronger reductions in stem growth compared to earlier droughts. It gets harder for trees to recover," Zuidema said. "We expect that ongoing climate change will only exacerbate this effect."Reduced tree growth has widely been associated with higher tree mortality, and while this study did not directly quantify tree mortality at the 483 tree-ring locations, the team used existing research to estimate that drought increased the normal tropical tree mortality rate by 0.1 percent. "Again, 0.1 percent is not a huge number," said Babst. "But considering the vast area that tropical forests and woodlands occupy, this increase in tree mortality leads to a notable amount of biomass that dies, decays, and releases CO2 back into the atmosphere. More research is clearly needed to better quantify this feedback."A tropical tree-ring networkThe study is the result of a recently formed network of tropical tree-ring studies, which aims to unite data from tree-ring studies across the tropics to better understand how tropical trees respond to current and future climatic conditions."Hundreds of tree-ring studies have been conducted on tropical trees over the past few decades," said Peter Groenendijk, co-author on the study and an assistant professor at University of Campinas in Brazil. "However, this is the first time those data have been compiled for large-scale analysis. We are trying to understand the past in order to predict the future."Zuidema, Groenendijk, Trouet and Babst are the initial founders of the network and continue to serve as the core members responsible for its overall management. Today, the initiative has grown to include over 170 collaborators, contributing nearly 500 ring-width chronologies from more than 30 countries across all tropical continents, representing over 139 tree species.

Months after OpenAI was warned about the potential harms ChatGPT can cause its users — particularly those predisposed to mental health struggles — the company has decided to roll out an "optimization" meant to calm the fears of mental health experts who have become increasingly alarmed about the risks its software poses. Yesterday, the company released a sheepish blog post titled "What we’re optimizing ChatGPT for," detailing three changes its making to its chatbot. These include "supporting you when you're struggling," a vaguely worded commitment to "better detect signs of emotional distress" and respond with "grounded honesty," as well as [...]
