[{"type":"text","content":" ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aura Minerals Inc. (Nasdaq: AUGO) (TSX: ORA) (B3: AURA33) (“Aura” or the “Company”) today announced that S&P Global Ratings has upgraded its outlook on the Company’s global and national scale credit ratings outlook to positive from stable, while affirming its B+ global scale long-term issuer credit rating and 'brAA' Brazilian national scale rating. According to S&P, the upgraded outlook reflects several key factors: (i) the U.S. listing should allow accelerated growth for Aura without any increase in leverage; (ii) Aura track record of constructing small to medium projects and successfully turning around older assets; and (iii) record high gold prices that are propelling free operating cash flow amid the company's significant expansion capital expenditure (capex) program. Over the next 12 months, S&P also indicates the possibility of an upgrade if the company succeeds in growing its scale, namely with the ramp up of Borborema, integrating Serra Grande, and starting another project in that timeframe, while it keeps gross debt to EBITDA below 2.0x. However, there can be no assurance whether S&P will take such action with respect to our ratings in the future.
