[{"type":"text","content":" ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO and B3: AURA33) (“Aura” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce Q1 2026 preliminary production results from the Company’s six operating mines: Aranzazu, Apoena, Minosa, Almas, Borborema and MSG (“Mineração Serra Grande”). Total production in Q1 2026, at current prices, reached 82,137 gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”)1, another high record quarter production, above the previous quarter and also 37% higher when compared to Q1 2025. At constant prices2, Aura’s quarterly production increased by 1% compared to Q4 2025 and 41% above Q1 2025. On track with the Company’s Guidance. During the quarter, Aura sold 81,364 GEO, a slight increase compared to the previous quarter. Rodrigo Barbosa, CEO and President commented: “We delivered another record production quarter in Q1 2026, reaching 82.1 thousand GEO. Despite dedicating efforts to essential underground infrastructure upgrades at MSG and lower production in Apoena and Borborema due to mine sequencing. For the second semester, we expect higher production at Aranzazu, Apoena, MSG and Borborema, while Almas and Minosa remain stable — very much in line with our annual guidance. Looking to the coming years, we continue advancing the Borborema expansion, the Almas underground development, the updated Feasibility Study for Matupá with its recently published additional ounces, and early works at Era Dorada — all supporting our next phase of growth toward over 600,000 GEO annually.” Q1 2026 Highlights: At Aranzazu, production reached 15,694 GEO, representing a 17% decrease compared to the previous quarter, resulting partially from metal prices since higher gold prices negatively impact the conversion to GEO. 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 prices3, Aranzazu production was 15% lower when compared to Q4 2025 and 16% lower compared to Q1 2025, due to 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 acc...
