SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 4 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO 2025: A year of tangible progress, record operational performance and zero lost - time accidents We consolidated the strategic choices made in recent years, turning vision, culture and purpose into tangible results – with unwavering discipline, consistency and responsibility. We rigorously executed our strategic plan, achieving robust and consistent growth: we recorded annual production of 280,000 GEO; we brought Borborema into commercial production on schedule, on budget and with excellence in safety; we completed relevant strategic acquisitions, such as Era Dorada in January and Mineração Serra Grande (MSG) in December; we increased our proven and probable mineral reserves by more than 100% compared to the previous year; and we strengthened our global presence with our Nasdaq listing in July, expanding our visibility and international recognition. These milestones reflect our core principle: we do not seek growth at any cost – we seek to do things well, generating sustainable value for shareholders, communities and the environment. Message from the CEO At the same time, 2025 marked further progress in consolidating Aura 360 as the Company's living and dynamic culture – increasingly embedded in our daily operations and recognized internally and externally as the Aura way of mining: with people at the core, genuine respect for communities and authentic care for the environment . This cultural maturity represents one of the key legacies of this transformation cycle, initiated years ago and fully realized in 2025, when we combined a robust operational strategy with a holistic vision of sustainable value for all stakeholders. Our sustainability vision has also evolved. More than simply meeting regulatory standards or external expectations, we understand that sustainability goes beyond mitigating negative impacts on the environment and communities – it is about generating tangible positive value for both . For us, sustainability is where responsibility meets innovation . Examples such as the Borborema operation, where 100 % of the water used in processing comes from reuse – withdrawn from treated municipal wastewater from the city of Currais Novos – illustrate this commitment : we do not compete for drinking water GRI 2 - 22

Another example is the Sementes da Esperança (seeds of hope) project, which creates lasting economic alternatives for communities in the post - mining phase. These are initiatives that address the present with rigor and look to the future with a long - term perspective, actively contributing to environmental regeneration and positive social development. Dialogue with communities continues to deepen, based on active listening and co - creation. We invest in local workforce training, the strengthening of regional suppliers and projects that generate positive and lasting legacies in the regions where we operate. We believe that no operation can thrive if the surrounding region does not thrive alongside it. At the Era Dorada project in Guatemala, we dedicated more than 1,000 hours to ongoing dialogue forums with communities, including weekly routines, site visits, and open spaces to clarify questions and share project details (such as the exclusive use of underground mining). These actions reinforce transparency, build trust and pave the way for responsible and shared development. In 2025, we also strengthened our governance, controls and ethics agenda, learning from challenges and continuously evolving. We operate in countries with robust regulatory frameworks and seek to go beyond minimum requirements, because we understand that trust is built through consistency and transparency. Looking ahead, we remain attentive to operational and regulatory risks, with an absolute focus on the safety of our people, responsible environmental management and the resilience of our assets. More than mitigating risks, we seek to strengthen our ability to adapt in a changing world. If 2025 represented the maturation of our strategy and culture, 2026 marks the beginning of a new cycle of accelerated and responsible growth. We operate with a decentralized management model, confidence in the potential of our people and the consolidation of Aura 360 as our way of operating and we are prepared to move forward with balance: we project production between 340,000 and 390,000 GEO in 2026, while paving the way to exceed 600,000 GEO in the future. We will grow by generating real shared value – for shareholders, communities and the environment – building a modern, inclusive mining operation in full harmony with society and nature. This is the path we have chosen. And it is the path we will continue to follow. Rodrigo Barbosa Chairman & CEO, Aura

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 14 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO Putting our people first also means valuing, supporting and maintaining close relationships with our suppliers to sustain the quality and continuity of operations. Our supply chain primarily includes companies responsible for supplying chemical inputs and reagents used in the production process, wear materials and industrial inputs applied in comminution and mineral processing , as well as fuels to support operations. Our value chain also includes specialized mining service providers, such as mine movement and drilling services. This context reinforces the need for consistent qualification and monitoring processes throughout the duration of contracts. For evaluation and contracting, we adopt formal practices based on environmental and social criteria, applicable both to the selection of new suppliers and the continuation of existing relationships. Our Value Chain SEE MORE IN THE INTERNAL CONTROLS CHAPTER. These practices include legal compliance analysis, requirements for environmental licenses and certifications, assessment of social responsibility, waste management, traceability, emissions control, material reuse and the adoption of cleaner technologies ; and are operationalized through structured processes such as technical assessments, audits, continuous monitoring and qualification mechanisms (RFI/RFP). Regarding social criteria, prior to contracting, suppliers must attest compliance with topics such as the prohibition of abusive practices (including child labor and forced labor), respect for labor rights and commitment to human rights regulations and the prevention of discrimination and abuse . These commitments are set forth in the Code of Conduct and in our Human Rights Policy and are formalized contractually; non - compliance may result in penalties, including fines and, in more severe cases, termination. Aura maintains sales agreements with certified refineries and trading companies that meet the highest standards of traceability and compliance, aligned with the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (WGC), the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and other applicable international standards for responsible mining. Through this integrated value chain structure, the Company ensures that its products are delivered to customers committed to environmental, social, and governance best practices, reinforcing its vision of "generating shared value in a sustainable manner for all its stakeholders ." GRI 2 - 6, 2 - 23, 2 - 24, 2 - 25, 2 - 29 We maintain ongoing engagement with our different stakeholder groups – such as business partners, employees, governments, communities, NGOs, shareholders, investors and unions – guided by transparent dialogue, active listening and collaboration. To this end, we rely on various corporate communication channels, such as Ethics and Whistleblower Hotlines, digital platforms, as well as in - person meetings and investor engagements. At the local level, we also have Visitor Programs, promoting access to information. This approach allows us to better understand stakeholder expectations and support more informed decision - making, as well as the effective management of impacts, risks and opportunities.

More than the adoption of new technologies, for us, innovating means continuously fostering improvements in processes, services and ways of working, promoting the generation of positive impact for people, communities and the environment. For Aura, innovation is any new, improved or different initiative that generates measurable impact – economic, social, environmental or strategic. This approach allows innovation to take place at different levels, from continuous improvements to transformational and disruptive initiatives. As part of this strategy, Aura has the Programa Inova – Ideias que movem a Aura (Inova Program – ideas that move aura), a global initiative that guides and drives innovation management across all Company units and consolidates innovation as a structured, participatory process aligned with the business strategy. The Inova Program adopts a funnel model for initiatives , ensuring focus, transparency and effectiveness in the selection, prioritization and implementation of ideas. Proposals go through stages of maturity, from idea generation to implementation and results evaluation and are consistently recorded and monitored on a digital idea management platform. Previously sourced externally, in 2025 this platform began to be developed internally to ensure greater alignment and consistency with the principles and values of Aura 360. The Inova Program was designed to foster a culture of creativity, proactivity and continuous improvement, connecting ideas to value generation. The program is aligned with Aura 360 values and promotes the participation of both employees and contractors, reinforcing innovation as a collective effort. The program's governance involves different roles: • Performance areas , as guardians of the methodology; • Managers and leaders, as sponsors of the innovation culture; • Idea owners and leads, responsible for the development and execution of solutions; • The Operational Excellence and Innovation Department, responsible for defining global strategies and ensuring integration across units. This structure ensures that innovation is managed with the same rigor applied to safety, operational performance and sustainability management.

Among the highlights are low - cost, highly scalable solutions developed by our own teams, such as: • Implementation of composting and circular economy systems at Almas; • Logistics optimization and CO₂ emissions reduction at Apoena; • Improvements to human - machine interfaces to enhance safety and operational efficiency at Borborema ; • An Integrated Operations Center and Artificial Intelligence solution enabling real - time integration between mine and plant, supporting faster decision making and reducing operational impacts at Aranzazu; • Solutions to optimize and reduce water consumption at Borborema, including the reuse of water from air conditioning systems, improvements in the efficiency of road wetting to reduce consumption, installation of automatic faucets and mitigation of evaporation losses in dikes through solutions such as floating cover cells. Innovation in Practice: Results Across Our Operations Advanced automation and digitization initiatives also stand out, such as the automation of mineral processing at Aranzazu (Automet) , which integrated statistical data analysis, artificial intelligence algorithms and advanced process control. In just six months of operation, the initiative delivered approximately 16% savings in process input costs and improvements in metallurgical recovery, with increases of 1.4% in copper, 1.7% in gold, and 2.3% in silver – reinforcing operational efficiency and data - driven decision - making. In parallel, strategic cost and spend management continues to be a core pillar of this journey toward innovation and operational excellence, particularly given that Aura's product prices are market driven. In 2025, a structured spend analysis was conducted as part of the Global Strategic Sourcing Program , with support from an external consultancy firm, identifying opportunities for more coordinated and strategic procurement across operations. The program design began in November and involves all units, fostering synergy and collaboration, with corporate acting as facilitator and guide and with plans to expand to dozens of input categories in 2026. Throughout 2025, cost efficiency initiatives generated savings of US$45.6 million for Aura. Inova Program in Borborema Inova Program in Aranzazu

The Company attracts and develops talent through programs such as trainee and internship initiatives, managed in a decentralized manner by the units and aligned with a global strategy, as well as through the Internal Opportunities Marketplace , which encourages mobility and career growth within the organization. In 2025, 13 trainees joined the Company and 21 managerial positions were filled through internal mobility. In addition, the Young Apprentice Program in Brazil is one of the most established ways to create first - job opportunities and accelerate young people's entry into the workforce – especially in rural and remote areas, where access to structured professional experience is often limited. At Aura, the program includes a development journey and internal growth opportunities. In Almas, more than 25 young people have already completed the program, with a 95% retention rate among graduates . Development is supported by tools and initiatives such as the 360 Cycle , which structures the feedback culture and enables the mapping of competencies, the definition of training priorities, and the acceleration of future leader development, supported by methodologies such as the nine - box model. In 2025, 385 employees participated in the 360 Cycle (an increase of approximately 30% compared to 2024), in addition to leadership participation in Development & Recognition workshops, courses and targeted development programs , such as "Lidera+" in Borborema, "Líder de Ouro" (golden leader) in Minosa and the "Purpose Development Journey" in Almas – initiatives focused on strengthening culture, engagement and management practices.

We maintain the Aura Integrated Management System (SIGA in the Brazilian acronym), which establishes guidelines, responsibilities and processes focused on accident prevention, risk mitigation and the promotion of occupational health. The system is aligned with international mining industry best practices, including recommendations from the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), the Brazilian Mining Institute, the World Gold Council and ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, as well as applicable legal requirements in the countries where Aura operates. To ensure the effectiveness of SIGA, we conduct internal audits across operational units to verify legal compliance, adherence to internal procedures, and the implementation of corporate safety standards. In addition, all employees undergo mandatory onboarding training, including formal knowledge assessments, in order to ensure understanding of health and safety requirements and protocols from the outset of their employment. In operational areas, preventive management is reinforced through regular inspections, safety talks and behavioral approaches, which contribute to strengthening the culture of prevention and ensuring consistent compliance with established standards.

Employee at Aura Almas As a result of a Culture Workstream implemented in 2024, we maintained and expanded the systematic monitoring of deviations related to the Life - Saving Rules. These rules reflect our core premise for preventing high - severity accidents and strengthening a culture of operational discipline, applied consistently across all critical activities in our operations. The Life - Saving Rules establish non - negotiable behaviors that must be strictly followed by direct employees and contractor personnel, guiding the safe execution of activities and reducing exposure to minor, serious or fatal risks. In 2025, the program remained structured around eight core rules. The management of incidents and deviations – whether associated with these rules or not – is conducted through a structured and standardized approach, including systematic recording, consolidation, and analysis of information. All accident events, whether involving people or property damage, are discussed monthly at the Corporate Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Committee, strengthening evidence - based decision making, guidance for preventive actions and continuous process improvement. As part of best practices adopted across all units, the Major Risk Management Program uses the bow - tie methodology to identify, classify and manage the most severe risks Through this process, we defined six critical risks that have been managed in a standardized manner since 2024.

This progress was driven by a combination of local initiatives and a new global guideline, supported by corporate policies, communication campaigns and the Ethics and Whistleblower Hotlines . As an indicator of progress in internal perception, the Great Place to Work (GPTW) survey showed that 85% of employees reported feeling able to be themselves in the workplace, reflecting advances in building a more inclusive and open organizational culture. Also in 2025, Aura became a sponsor of Women In Mining (WIM) Brazil, an association dedicated to promoting and supporting the inclusion of women in the mining industry. In addition to this sponsorship, our operations outside Brazil also participate in WIM initiatives in their respective countries, connecting employees and strengthening diversity efforts across the regions where we operate . Progress in female representation was significant over the period. In Borborema, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the share of women in leadership positions – managers and coordinators – increased from 12% in December 2023, at the start of the unit's construction, to 28% in December 2025. At Apoena, women currently hold 18% of leadership positions. This performance earned the unit, for the third consecutive year, recognition as a benchmark in gender diversity, with the Empresa Amiga da Mulher (women - friendly company) Award granted by the local organization Conexão Salto Alto. Among the initiatives implemented and recognized are: A Lactation Support Room, maternity uniforms, distribution of sanitary products, return - to - work support after maternity leave, as well as events such as the Aura Apoena Women's Month Walk and Papo de Mina (women in mining talks). In Mexico, Aranzazu was also recognized for promoting women's participation in the mining sector, receiving the WIM Gold Certification and the Socially Responsible Company certification (ESR). The latter was awarded for the third consecutive year, further reinforcing external recognition of its social and inclusion practices. These advances reflect Aura's commitment to fostering safe and inclusive workplaces, grounded in respect and the appreciation of differences, recognizing that diverse teams strengthen organizational culture, drive innovation and contribute to more sustainable results.

Among the events held, a key highlight was the panel "Women and Allies for Territorial Development," presented by Ana Juárez, CEO of WIM Central America. The initiative, which brought together 85 participants, connected our stakeholders with a national network of women, demonstrating how female participation in mining transforms realities and expands the positive impact of the industry. As a direct outcome of the dialogue fostered through VETA, a Lactation Room was implemented at the unit, reinforcing Aura's commitment to a more supportive workplace aligned with employees' needs. "VETA" means a gold vein in Spanish. A mineral - rich formation within rock. It serves as a tribute symbolizing the potential within every woman in the mining industry. A key example of recognizing women's leadership across different areas in 2025 was the launch of the VETA Program at Minosa, Honduras. The program originated from a roundtable discussion held on International Women's Day, bringing together employees and senior leadership from the unit. Following this exchange, the program was structured to go beyond isolated training initiatives, aiming at strengthening participants' well - being, leadership and personal and professional confidence. VETA was designed as an ongoing and transformative experience, connecting women with themselves, the Company and their sense of purpose. The program is built on three main pillars: a comprehensive development plan addressing professional growth as well as emotional, physical and social well - being; the creation of a distinct identity, represented by the VETA name and logo, symbolizing women's potential in mining; and an action roadmap with monthly activities, including in - person workshops, mentoring spaces, reflective dialogues, and inspiring sessions with internal and external female leaders.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 40 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO The Era Dorada (EDO) Project is located in a region historically sensitive to mining activity, marked by high levels of environmental concern – particularly around water resources – and a predominantly critical public narrative toward the sector. This context translates into elevated risk perception, strong expectations for transparency, and high standards for both the quality of dialogue and the distribution of local benefits. When Aura acquired the project, it began operating in an environment characterized by low levels of social trust and questions regarding the project's alignment with local priorities. Addressing this scenario required a consistent, long - term approach focused on rebuilding social legitimacy and steadily advancing the project's Social License to Operate. This included explicitly acknowledging local concerns and adapting the project to reflect the expectations of communities within its area of influence. The strategy prioritized structured dialogue and active listening as the foundation of engagement with communities and other local stakeholders. This approach included clear, accessible and ongoing communication about the project, its potential impacts, mitigation measures and social and economic opportunities, as well as the incorporation of local perspectives into key project decisions. Dialogue as a Foundation for Social License Key elements of this approach include prioritizing underground mining as a lower - impact alternative, promoting local hiring and regional supplier engagement and establishing permanent channels for public information and community support. At the same time, the project advanced a narrative grounded in cultural proximity, respect for local dynamics, environmental and social responsibility and shared value creation – helping reduce tensions and laying the groundwork for a more constructive and collaborative relationship with the region . Among the best practices that now structure social management and community engagement, the following stand out: • The implementation of Community Development Roundtables as formal, structured and verifiable platforms for dialogue, prioritization, and participatory decision making related to social investments, commitment tracking and ongoing information exchange between communities and the Company; • The development of a traceable social management system, covering the registration Building trust with communities is not just part of our work – it is the foundation for mining to generate real, lasting and shared value for the region. Otmar Morales, Country Manager, Aura Era Dorada of commitments, agreements, and community concerns, along with continuous monitoring of local perceptions – totaling more than 1,000 hours dedicated to community engagement in 2025; • Openness to voluntary third - party audits in social and environmental areas, reinforcing transparency, institutional credibility, and alignment with Aura Minerals' policies; • The creation of Casa Aura, designed as a permanent hub for information, public engagement and community capacity - building, expanding access to technical, operational and institutional information related to the project . Taken together, these initiatives have contributed to expanding public access to information, strengthening structured dialogue channels and reducing space for misinformation and distrust. As a result, the project has progressed from an initially high - sensitivity context to a structured and measurable process of building trust, strengthening social legitimacy and advancing shared territorial governance – establishing a more solid foundation for responsible and sustainable long - term development.

It would not have made sense to develop an industrial operation competing with the local population for a resource that is already scarce. The alternative was to structure the entire operation to run exclusively on reused water, aligning operational feasibility with social and environmental responsibility. While simple in concept, the solution required a high level of engineering and institutional coordination. Through a partnership with the Rio Grande do Norte Water and Sanitation Company (CAERN in the Brazilian acronym), we began capturing domestic wastewater from the municipality of Currais Novos, ensuring its full treatment and reuse in mining activities . Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), Borborema The start of operations at the Borborema unit not only marked a key milestone in our expansion plan, but also represented, in practice, our commitment to producing in a sustainable way. The Borborema unit is located in the heart of the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, in the municipality of Currais Novos, a region marked by significant water stress, where water takes on strategic importance for people's survival and for any economic activity. It was within this context that we brought together innovation and our commitment to sustainability, advancing a solution that is unprecedented in the sector: the implementation of a mining operation that runs without consuming fresh water, avoiding any impact on the local community's water supply. This initiative earned Aura recognition as Mining Company of the Year 2025 in the ESG – Mid - Tier category.

APPENDIX 54 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO No groundwater, river water or stream water is used. All water supplied to the operation comes from urban wastewater, which undergoes advanced treatment including reverse osmosis and multiple purification stages. The result is a closed and efficient cycle that connects urban sanitation to the industrial process in a safe and sustainable way. Currently, the facility is fully operated by our team, which transports approximately 70 cubic meters of reused water per hour over 27 kilometers of pipeline to the processing plant. When Aura began operating, the municipality relied only on basic wastewater screening, with no effective treatment. Today, in addition to eliminating the discharge of untreated effluents into local water bodies, all collected volume is properly treated, generating a clean and viable resource for industrial use. The project required an investment of approximately R$45 million. The agreement signed with CAERN follows the life of the mine, with the possibility of extension depending on reserve expansion and production growth.

This approach is implemented through structured actions in planning, monitoring, mitigation, recovery and environmental compensation, with a focus on habitat conservation, restoration of native vegetation, and the promotion of a positive environmental legacy in the regions where we operate. At the operational units, these guidelines translate into practical initiatives aligned with local conditions. In Borborema, our environmental commitment goes beyond water management. Outside the operational area, we maintain a farm dedicated to reforestation and to addressing desertification processes in the region. In this space, we produce seedlings used both in the environmental recovery of the mine itself and in restoration projects in surrounding degraded areas, establishing the site as a regional hub for vegetation restoration. In Mexico, in addition to environmental monitoring programs, we develop environmental awareness Biodiversity GRI 3 - 3, GRI 304, SASB EM - MM - 160a.1 and education initiatives focused on valuing local fauna and flora. These actions include birdwatching activities and educational exhibitions that reinforce community awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation. In 2025, in celebration of World Environment Day, the unit held a photographic exhibition at Casa Aura featuring semidesert flora and fauna, along with environmental awareness talks. As part of environmental recovery efforts, a reforestation initiative was also carried out with the planting of 450 native pine trees and an investment of US$12,200 was made to build a nursery aimed at strengthening the propagation of native species. Keeping the post - closure legacy of the asset in mind, the unit has been making steady progress in reforesting the surrounding area. Areas that previously formed part of the operational plant now make up a green belt of more than 1.2 hectares, demonstrating the gradual transformation of the territory and the commitment to environmental recovery. A total of 28,643 lechuguilla plants, a native species of the region, were planted for reforestation purposes, with the objective of continuing the environmental closure of an area that was previously part of the processing operations.

In Minosa, we have already achieved 44% of areas recovered , equivalent to 66.64 hectares under regeneration, including young pine and oak forest formations. As part of this strategy, we follow the principle of enhanced forest replacement: for every tree removed, six are planted, totaling more than 350,000 trees planted and maintained. This progress is supported, among other factors, by the structure of the unit's forest nursery, which has the capacity to produce approximately 20,000 seedlings per year and is also used in partnership with the community through collaboration with the community group "Las Cruzitas," focused on revegetating spring areas and sites susceptible to erosion during the rainy season – with Aura responsible for managing and donating the seedlings used in these activities. In the same nursery, we maintain the only orchidarium in Honduras, focused on preserving 23 species of orchids at risk of extinction. Before any intervention involving tree removal or management, we carry out the rescue of these species, which are then cared for and later reintroduced into rehabilitated areas, reinforcing our strategy for the rescue and reintroduction of sensitive flora in environmental recovery processes. All these initiatives reflect ongoing investments, with approximately US$2 million already allocated to environmental mitigation projects and US$2.5 million to reforestation projects. At the Almas unit, 2025 actions include environmental education initiatives directly connected to regional biodiversity. During the period, we carried out a planting initiative in the unit's environmental offset area, in partnership with students from the Almas agricultural school. In this initiative, approximately 300 native seedlings, produced in the operation's own nursery, were planted, integrating environment and community and strengthening the practical application of classroom learning. Also in 2025, we established a partnership with the Zoology Museum of Palmas, in the state of Tocantins to carry out activities for employees and the school community, including an exhibition of taxidermy animals typical of the Cerrado and educational discussions on biodiversity preservation, habitat loss and the need to preserve ecosystems in this biome. In Apoena, in addition to similar environmental education campaigns, the unit's forest nursery has the capacity to produce 33,000 seedlings, which are used for reforestation of degraded areas, internal programs and donations to communities. In addition, during Environment Week, courses were offered on seedling production and native plant cultivation, along with the donation of more than 350 seedlings. Minosa Orchidarium

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 58 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO We classify our waste as hazardous and non - hazardous and direct recyclable materials (paper, plastic, scrap metal, cables, used lubricating oil), organic waste (composting), and hazardous/ contaminated waste (such as cyanide packaging and hydrocarbon - contaminated soils) to co - processing or controlled disposal. At the same time, part of the non - destined waste is segregated for reuse or commercialization (for example, used lubricating oil, wood, aluminum and scrap). In 2025, the main recovered waste streams included used lubricating oil, wood from cyanide packaging, chemically treated contaminated metals, scrap metal, paper/cardboard, plastics, cables and electrical wires, as well as organic waste recovered through composting, reinforcing the guideline of circularity whenever technically feasible. Aura is committed to continuously advancing innovative solutions for waste management, generating opportunities for new businesses and circular economy practices. In 2025, Minosa developed a method for transforming organic waste into natural fertilizers, linking this solution to the closure of operating assets. The fertilizer has been used to support the recovery of degraded areas, integrating environmental and reforestation initiatives in areas that will no longer be used in the production chain. A similar solution has been in place for some time in Apoena. Organic waste generated in administrative and operational areas is properly segregated and directed to an internal, controlled biological decomposition system. The resulting compost is used as a soil conditioner in green areas and in environmental recovery initiatives at the site, and is also distributed to employees and communities during environmental education campaigns promoted by the unit. In Aranzazu, the team has also initiated a study to reinsert part of the tailings into depleted underground mine galleries (backfill), aiming to reduce the volume sent to tailings storage facilities and promote internal reuse. The use of tailings as backfill contributes to mine stability, supports the recovery of mined Management Hierarchy and Circular Economy GRI 306 - 2, 306 - 4, 306 - 5 areas and reduces contamination risks, while also decreasing the need for natural resources in the construction of new containment and waste disposal structures, promoting circular economy practices. In this context, it is worth highlighting that the Era Dorada project was conceived from the outset under this same philosophy, incorporating engineering solutions focused on resource optimization, maximizing internal material reuse and systematically reducing environmental impacts. This approach is fully aligned with global best practices in circular mining, which prioritize the integration of operational performance, sustainable tailings management, and environmental resilience throughout the entire life cycle of the asset. In Almas, the construction of a composting facility for the treatment and reuse of organic waste from the cafeteria and third - party companies is already in the planning stage. By combining dry material (from shredded vegetation clearing) and wet material (food waste), the initiative is expected to generate approximately 500 kg of organic compost for use in internal environmental actions and to support local gardens through donations.

This practice ensures compliance with local and global regulations and provides more effective emissions control, enabling the identification of improvement opportunities and the implementation of corrective actions. 02 TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS Aura has been implementing initiatives aimed at increasing logistics efficiency and reducing fossil fuel consumption. The main actions include optimizing transportation routes, reducing average distances traveled, and renewing the operational fleet with more modern, efficient and less emission - intensive equipment. For example, in Apoena, smaller - capacity trucks were replaced with larger models, allowing higher volumes to be transported with proportionally lower diesel consumption per ton moved, in addition to operational gains in productivity and cost efficiency. 03 ADOPTION OF EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES In order to reduce its emissions, Aura has been investing in low - carbon technologies, such as the use of renewable energy and improved efficiency in the use of resources such as water. For example, Borborema uses 100% reuse water from treated wastewater and rainwater in its operations, minimizing the consumption of raw water and, consequently, emissions associated with the use of water resources. 04 USE OF TAILINGS AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY Aura implements circular economy practices, such as the use of tailings in concrete production and the soil remineralization project using rock powder, reducing the need for disposal and environmental impact. These initiatives not only contribute to reducing GHG emissions but also support the conservation of natural resources and strengthen the Company's social and environmental legacy. 05 RENEWABLE ENERGY Aura conducts periodic assessments of supply conditions, including the analysis of opportunities to purchase energy from renewable source providers whenever technically feasible. This approach seeks to balance operational efficiency, cost predictability, and environmental performance, gradually contributing to the reduction of indirect emissions associated with energy consumption. These actions reflect Aura's commitment to sustainability and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with industry best practices and global expectations for more responsible mining.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO ABOUT AURA WHAT DRIVES US OUR PEOPLE GOVERNANCE & RISK MANAGEMENT APPENDIX 63 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE Governance and Responsibilities Geotechnical governance combines local and corporate resources: each unit has dedicated geotechnical engineers, there is a corporate manager responsible for the topic, and the HSE Committee reviews the safety status of structures on a monthly basis at the board level. For operating tailings dams, Aura adopts international best practices, such as having an Engineer of Record and monthly reviews by an independent external consultant, as well as periodic stability declarations (semiannual) issued by independent specialized firms. In addition, each operating tailings dam has an Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM in Brazilian acronym) in place. This is a key instrument that consolidates risk scenarios, response protocols and preventive and emergency actions into a single document, aiming at mitigating risks and protecting the lives of potentially affected communities. The operating dams were designed by specialized engineering firms and constructed using the downstream raising method, which is recognized for prioritizing structural safety. Each structure has an operating manual that defines routines such as instrumentation readings, level control, field inspections and preventive maintenance guidelines. Data generated through instrumentation and inspections are consolidated and analyzed monthly by independent consulting firms, which issue compliance reports reviewed by the HSE Committee. This process supports proactive decision making and reinforces operational discipline as the foundation of geotechnical performance. The Company uses a combination of online monitoring (Sentnel platform) and satellite monitoring, with data related to geotechnical structures made Operations and Operational Discipline available on a platform, enhancing traceability and response time. We use SIGBAR as our dam management system, consolidating information into reports presented to senior leadership and tracking the status of recommended actions, reinforcing that observed stability must be sustained through the consistent execution of these actions over time. At the corporate level, management is also supported by internal monitoring systems, with reporting to senior leadership and follow - up on action plans when necessary, reinforcing consistency in control and governance of the topic. All operating tailings dams maintain emergency plans aligned with their risk classification and potential consequences, with periodic reviews in line with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

In 2025, Aura maintained a zero - tolerance policy for non - compliance with laws and regulations and strengthened its integrity program, structured through corporate policies and internal regulations, with the Code of Conduct serving as the primary reference document for ethical guidelines. Each year, all operations and administrative offices – including direct and indirect employees and suppliers – participate in mandatory Code of Conduct training, ensuring broad dissemination of information and access to the document for all relevant audiences. The integrity system includes, among others, policies on Human Rights , Anti - Bribery and Anti - Corruption , Donations and Sponsorships and Investigations , approved by the Board and aligned with international frameworks, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the World Gold Council principles (including the Responsible Gold Mining Principles and the Conflict - Free Gold Standard). This alignment guides corporate conduct and stakeholder engagement across the value chain, strengthening the management of integrity and reputational risks in complex operating and expansion environments. The Company also implemented an annual compliance communications plan, providing for the deepening of key topics throughout the year – with particular emphasis on the Anti - Bribery and Anti - Corruption Policy as part of the ongoing reinforcement of the organization's ethical culture. Conflicts of interest are addressed through established guidelines and disclosure and prevention mechanisms, including a self - declaration form and bylaw provisions at the Board level (for example, voting restrictions and limitations on participation in discussions in cases of conflict of interest). In 2025, the requirement to complete the conflicts of interest form was extended to additional audiences (corporate functions and unit leadership), strengthening preventive controls and the traceability of potential conflicts in the Company's decisions and processes. The recent acquisitions of the Mineração Serra Grande (Goiás) and Era Dorada (Guatemala) units required a specific focus to ensure the integration of people and processes into Aura's Compliance Program.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO ABOUT AURA WHAT DRIVES US OUR PEOPLE GOVERNANCE & RISK MANAGEMENT APPENDIX 69 ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE In 2022, Alvarez & Marsal conducted an assessment of Aura's business and Compliance Program across the units then in operation (Brazil, United States, Mexico and Honduras), with the objective of enhancing controls, processes and integrity practices and aligning the program with leading market benchmarks. The risk assessment carried out in 2022 covered ten main categories: corruption, bribery, conflict of interest, harassment, revolving door, legal risks, unfair competition, insider trading and reputational and financial risks associated with potential unethical conduct by Aura employees and representatives. Considering the evolution of internal controls since then, the level of exposure to these risks is estimated to have been significantly reduced. As a result, a comprehensive action plan was structured to strengthen the maturity and effectiveness of the Integrity Program. The plan is organized around nine pillars: Autonomy and Resources; Policies and Procedures; Risk Assessment; Training and Communication; Ethics Channel; Third - Party Management; M&A; Senior Leadership Commitment; and Disciplinary Measures, and includes priority initiatives, improvement opportunities and structural actions aimed at strengthening governance, internal controls and the Company's culture of integrity. Aura remains exposed to compliance risks inherent to the mining sector and to the different regulatory environments in which it operates. As the Integrity Program has been continuously strengthened in recent years, the likelihood and exposure to previously identified risks may have changed. In addition, new risks have been identified, including those related to third parties, data protection and cybersecurity, which will be incorporated into the next assessment cycle, scheduled for 2026, ensuring a more up - to - date, comprehensive analysis aligned with market best practices. Compliance Program GRI 205 - 1 Integrity management in the supplier chain As part of strengthening controls applicable to third parties and mitigating integrity risks in the supply chain, in 2025 Aura structured and formalized a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for supplier Due Diligence , applicable to operational units and projects in Brazil, as well as to the São Paulo corporate office. The procedure aims to standardize the onboarding and re - onboarding processes for service providers, reinforcing objective criteria for request, analysis and decision making, while further promoting traceability, consistency and transparency in supplier contracting and reassessment processes. The methodology adopted includes structured analyses organized into plans and modules, considering different risk dimensions – such as compliance (corporate, tax, labor and regulatory), integrity, reputation and political exposure. The process includes negative media screening, restricted and sanctions list checks, as well as the assessment of financial criteria, when applicable. The SOP also defines delivery timelines (Service Level Agreements, SLAs), eligibility criteria and approval workflows by authority levels, combining qualitative and quantitative parameters, as well as additional requirements in cases where risks classified as medium or high are identified. This initiative reinforces Aura's commitment to preventing, identifying, and mitigating third - party integrity risks, in alignment with its Compliance Program and best corporate governance practices. Starting in 2026, this approach is expected to be gradually expanded to the Company's other units outside Brazil, aiming at promoting greater consistency in third - party risk management at the global level.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 70 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO The primary mechanism for reporting concerns, complaints, and misconduct is the Aura Ethics Channel , operated by an independent company that ensures confidentiality, allows for anonymous reporting and enables case tracking through a protocol and password. The channel is available to direct employees, contractors and suppliers in all countries where the Company operates and can be accessed both digitally and by phone. Reports received are handled through a structured, transparent and impartial process that includes intake of the report, assignment of responsibilities, a fair and thorough investigation and presentation of findings to the Ethics Committee, which oversees all investigative processes. To ensure independence and impartiality, cases involving members of the Ethics Committee, the Compliance Department or senior leadership are subject to restricted access in accordance with defined governance levels. Ethics Channel Aura adopts a structured approach to managing economic, environmental, asset and safety risks. The Company seeks to identify risks early in project development and implement solutions to mitigate or offset them, with a focus on operational continuity and sustainability. Risk Management From an economic and financial perspective, the Board annually approves the budget for the following year, assessing risks and the consistency of projections. It also monitors execution throughout the year to adjust the allocation of proceeds when necessary. Financial governance is further supported by review routines: operational performance is monitored weekly through key indicators, and detailed monthly finance and cash flow meetings are held with senior leadership. These practices reinforce discipline, predictability, and responsiveness to changes in market conditions, costs, liquidity and CAPEX. In 2025, the risk agenda was directly linked to the Company's growth, investment and financial discipline context, reflecting the evolution of its economic and financial performance throughout the year. Based on the findings, appropriate corrective and disciplinary measures are determined and applied in compliance with local legislation and labor agreements, ranging from warnings to contract termination. When violations of internal policies or applicable laws are identified, they are immediately halted. The Company formally records the investigation outcomes and establishes prevention plans and control - strengthening and training actions, focusing on remediation of negative impacts and mitigation of recurrence risks. Aura enforces a zero - tolerance policy for any form of retaliation against good - faith whistleblowers. The Company ensures their protection regardless of the investigation outcome and reinforces an environment of trust that is essential for identifying, addressing and remediating adverse impacts related to ethical conduct. Throughout 2025, this approach continued to be reinforced by monitoring and review routines that connect corporate governance with unit - level performance. This ensures visibility over strategic and operational risks across different geographies and stages of the lifecycle, including operation, expansion, ramp - up and closure. GRI 2 - 25, 2 - 26

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT \| 2025 APPENDIX 74 ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL & GOVERNANCE & RISK ENVIRONMENTAL OUR WHAT ABOUT MESSAGE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE PEOPLE DRIVES US AURA FROM THE CEO The year 2025 was marked by strong value creation for Aura. In a highly favorable external environment – characterized by record - high gold prices – the combination of a 5% increase in production, cost levels maintained at competitive levels, operational excellence and financial discipline resulted in adjusted EBITDA of US$547.8 million, 105% higher than in 2024. Net revenue reached US$921.7 million, representing a 55% increase compared to 2024, driven by higher gold sales volumes following the start of operations at Borborema and by gold price appreciation in both US dollars and local currencies, despite the depreciation of the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso. Another important milestone in 2025 was the consolidation of our position in the second quartile of the global industry cost curve . Borborema, a newly operating asset, ranks in the first quartile , reducing the Company's consolidated average cost and increasing resilience in scenarios of declining commodity prices. Maintaining cost control as one of our top priorities, we continued to optimize our cash cost and All - in Sustaining Cost (AISC), which remained among the lowest in the industry. Aura's listing on NASDAQ in July 2025 was another key achievement and a strategic step to support the Company's growth cycle through financial discipline and strengthened governance. The Company expanded access to a global investor base, significantly increased share liquidity and enabled the execution of its project portfolio while reducing financial leverage, reinforcing transparency, capital discipline and financial predictability. As a direct result, the equity offering conducted in the U . S . market raised approximately US $200 million . After offering - related costs, net cash reached a level close to gross debt. Financial leverage therefore reached one of the most conservative levels in Aura's history, with the net debt/ Adjusted EBITDA ratio closing 2025 at approximately 0.28x, compared to 0.74x in 2024. This movement also significantly increased the liquidity of the Company's shares. Average daily trading volume rose from less than US$4 million, per day during the first quarter of 2025 (combined Brazil and Canada) to more than US$80 million during the first quarter of 2026, following the U.S. IPO (NASDAQ and B3 combined), exceeding the benchmark range of US$10 million to US$20 million typically required by large global institutional investors. This new level of liquidity enabled the entry of major international funds such as Capital World, BlackRock and Fidelity , strengthening and diversifying Aura's shareholder base. Reaffirming our commitment to leadership and value creation, we maintained a consistent shareholder remuneration policy, combining dividends and share buybacks totaling approximately US$154 million, representing a total return of 6.2% for the period.

Over this period, the Company carried out internal assessments, independent audits and the progressive implementation of operational and management improvements, with the objective of strengthening adherence to the principles and consolidating practices aligned with leading international industry standards. This process involved multiple audit cycles, gap assessments and the development of action plans aimed at the continuous improvement of operations. In 2024, the independent audit conducted by Kumi marked the conclusion of this first verification cycle, including additional reviews of previous stages and technical visits to operations. Although the Company has not yet Communication of Progress – Responsible Gold Mining Principles achieved full conformance , the process enabled to identify recommendations, areas of attention and opportunities for improvement, which began to guide a structured plan for advancing practices related to the RGMPs. In 2025, efforts focused on consolidating and executing this action plan, prioritizing the recommendations identified in the audit and structuring initiatives to address the gaps identified. The objective was to ensure that all recommended actions were either initiated or completed, strengthening governance, processes and monitoring mechanisms associated with the principles of responsible mining. The main developments observed throughout the year – such as the consolidation of the compliance and governance foundation, the structuring of corporate guidelines and the incorporation of controls and routines – are summarized in the tables below, organized by principle and sub - principle. For the next cycles, the Company plans to expand this process to the new operations at Borborema and Serra Grande. In 2026, self - assessments are planned for these units, in line with the steps established by the RGMP framework itself. At the same time, Aura Minerals will monitor the progress of the standard consolidation initiative led by the Consolidated Mining Initiative (CMI), assessing how a potential single industry standard may be adopted. Depending on these developments, in 2027 the Company intends to conduct a new independent audit covering all eligible operations – including those previously audited and the new units – reinforcing its ongoing commitment to advancing responsible mining practices and achieving full conformance with the principles.

The Company recognizes the relevance of the topic and is evaluating the evolution of its management practices to, in the future, expand the reporting scope to include indirect energy consumption data (upstream and downstream), in line with process maturity and the availability of reliable information. 302 - 3: Energy intensity Page 60 The energy intensity rate has been reported since 2024, as in previous cycles the necessary data and processes were still being structured. The organization has adopted specific energy consumption as its metric – electricity (MWh per metric ton of ore fed into the processing plant) and diesel (liters per metric ton of material moved in the mine). For the calculation of this rate, two types of energy were considered: electricity and fossil fuel (diesel), limited to energy consumption within the organization. 302 - 4: Reducing energy consumption Information not available. Although energy efficiency initiatives are underway across different operations, the consolidated measurement of reductions still faces limitations in terms of data traceability and comparability. The Company recognizes the relevance of the topic and is advancing its internal processes to enable the structured and reliable reporting of this indicator in the future. 302 - 5: Reductions in energy requirements of pro - ducts and services Specific diesel consumption remained stable compared to 2024, even considering the inclusion of a new unit in the 2025 reporting scope, reinforcing operational consistency and the maintenance of energy efficiency levels despite the significant increase in the volume of material moved during the period.

Key impacts monitored include air emissions (dust and gases), noise and vibrations resulting from operations, changes to the landscape and biodiversity, as well as pressures on natural resources, infrastructure and local public services. Indirect socioeconomic risks are also considered, such as increased cost of living – particularly housing and services – economic dependence on mining activities, potential social conflicts, changes in cultural dynamics and risks related to the protection of vulnerable groups, including the prevention of child sexual exploitation within areas of influence. The Company identifies and assesses these impacts through environmental and social studies, risk analyses and stakeholder engagement processes. As part of its governance, it ensures compliance with the environmental and social conditions established in licensing processes, guaranteeing the implementation of mitigation and compensation measures, as well as the social programs required by relevant authorities. In addition, Aura maintains dialogue mechanisms, grievance channels, and structured local development initiatives, seeking to prevent, mitigate and remediate adverse impacts, while strengthening transparent, responsible and long - term relationships with the regions where it operates. The prevention, mitigation and remediation actions adopted to address these impacts, as well as the social opportunities identified and promoted with communities, are detailed on page 58 of this Sustainability Report.

All withdrawals are duly authorized and comply with applicable environmental legislation. – The increase in withdrawal volume in 2025 is mainly due to: (i) the inclusion of the Borborema unit in the reporting period; and (ii) the disclosure of produced water, defined as water returned from tailings dams or originating from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), depending on the unit. – Regarding water - stressed areas, in 2025 only Borborema is classified as "Medium – High," according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas (2025). The variation compared to the previous period is due to an update in this classification, which previously included the Aranzazu unit based on the same source. Water withdrawal details by region: – Brazil: a) Almas, TO: Surface water withdrawal from a river, used to supply the production process. Part of the water used in processing is directed to the tailings dam along with the tailings and is subsequently recovered and recirculated into the production chain; b) Apoena, MT: Groundwater withdrawal through wells, duly authorized by the relevant authorities. Part of the water used in processing is directed to the tailings dam along with the tailings and is subsequently recovered and recirculated into the production chain; Borborema, RN: Reuse of reclaimed water through an on - site wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), reducing the need for withdrawal from natural sources. – Mexico: Fresh water is withdrawn from groundwater through a deep well, with a license issued by the federal water authority. Part of the water used in processing is directed to the tailings dam along with the tailings and is subsequently recovered and recirculated into the production chain; – Honduras: There is no water withdrawal for use in the production process, which relies primarily on rainwater. External withdrawal is limited to water from the Río Lara, used for non - process purposes such as road irrigation, equipment washing and operational and domestic support activities. \*Restatements of GRI 2 - 4: Errors in previous reporting periods.

All tailings dams strictly comply with applicable local legislation (in each country of operation) and seek to follow international best practices for the mining sector. SASB EM - MM - 540A.3 APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLANS (EPRPS) 2025 EPP Dam : The PAEBM establishes emergency preparedness and response procedures for the tailings dam, in compliance with applicable legislation (ANM Resolution 95) . As the structure is classified with High DPA, all applicable legal requirements are fully observed . The plan covers the dam across all phases of its life cycle . It defines risk scenarios, activation criteria, responsibilities, evacuation routes and alert systems . Drills and practical exercises are also conducted, engaging employees, contractors, authorities, and local communities, ensuring awareness and proper response in emergency situations . Almas Tailings Dam: Develops its Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (EPRPs) in a structured manner, in compliance with applicable Brazilian legislation, particularly ANM Resolution 95 of 2022 and integrated with the Dam Safety Plan. The plans are developed based on risk analyses and dam break (flood mapping) studies. The risk chart defines control levels (attention, alert and emergency) for piezo - meters, water level gauges, surface markers and flow meters used in dam safety monitoring. The Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM in Brazilian acronym) establishes procedures for detecting emergency situations, as well as the actions to be taken in such scenarios. The plan includes preventive and corrective measures, along with notification procedures for stakeholders and potentially affected communities, ensuring rapid and effective damage containment and correction of anomalies that may lead to emergency situations throughout the structure's life cycle. The PAEBM is periodically reviewed and updated, with training sessions, alert system testing and internal simulations conducted to ensure readiness. These actions aim to reduce risks and mitigate the consequences of potential emergency events, ensuring formal documentation of activities and continuous improvement of procedures. Fines Dike, Borborema: The PAEBM establishes emergency preparedness and response procedures for the tailings dam, in compliance with applicable legislation (ANM 95 of 2022). As the structure is classi - fied with Medium DPA, all applicable and required legal requirements are fully observed. The plan covers the dam across all phases of its life cycle. Aranzazu Dam – TD5: Aranzazu: The emergency plan currently in place, developed in 2020 by Geoingeniería León and originally covering Stage 1, is being updated. The update reflects the new conditions of the facility, considering Stages 2 and 3 of the TD5 tailings dam expansion. The plan is currently undergoing internal review by the tailings dam safety and operations departments.

**AURA ANNOUNCES ITS 2025 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT**

 

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, May 19, 2026 - **Aura Minerals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUGO and B3: AURA33) ("Aura" or the "Company")** announces its 6th Annual Sustainability Report showcasing the Company's progress in promoting safety, responsibility, sustainability, and innovation, prepared in with reference to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the report ensures clear and transparent disclosure of Aura's financial, environmental, and social performance. The full report can be found on "Sustainability - Aura Minerals" on Aura's website.

Rodrigo Barbosa, President & CEO commented: "At Aura, we view mining not only as a responsibility to meet environmental and social expectations and regulations, but as a unique opportunity to go beyond compliance and actively create shared value for communities, the environment, and all stakeholders — especially in remote regions that often lack basic infrastructure. Concrete examples of this approach include turning wastewater from a neighboring city into process water for gold production in Brazil's semi-arid region, and repurposing mining waste as agricultural inputs in Almas. In Honduras, through our Sementes da Esperança project, we are introducing innovative technology developed in Brazil to transform formerly mined areas into high-value crops, particularly grapes for the production of premium wines.

In 2025 alone, we directed US$174.7 million to local suppliers — equivalent to 43% of our total purchases — while hiring approximately 67% of our workforce from the communities where we operate. We also achieved zero lost-time accidents across our operations and continue to expand initiatives in operational innovation, artificial intelligence, and the creation of a lasting legacy in the territories we touch.".

**2025 Sustainability Report Highlights:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Water Reuse in the Semi-Arid Region** One of Aura's main environmental highlights is the Borborema
operation, in Rio Grande do Norte. The company invested approximately R$45 million in the construction of a Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WTP). Through a partnership with the Water and Sewage Company of Rio Grande do Norte (CAERN), the project captures domestic sewage from
the municipality of Currais Novos, treats the water, and reuses it in the mining operation. The water travels more than 27 kilometers
to the plant and is continuously reused throughout the operational process, reducing pressure on local water resources and contributing
to urban sanitation in the region.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Post-Mining and Social Development:** On the social agenda, one of the year's main highlights
was the progress of the Sementes da Esperança (Seeds of Hope) program, a project being developed by Aura through the San Andrés
Foundation in the Copán region of Honduras, aimed at creating economic alternatives in post-mining regions. The initiative is transforming
previously mined areas into vineyards, with the potential for future high quality wine production. Still in its early stages, this pilot
project aims to connect land restoration, income generation, and local economic development, demonstrating how shared value can be created
through the rehabilitation of impacted areas. Between 2024 and 2025, 1,440 grapevines were planted in reclaimed areas, with a survival
rate of 84%. Inspired by economic diversification experiences observed in the interior of São Paulo, the initiative was structured
based on the company's own studies on local climate, soil fertility, and agricultural potential. It is expected that, after the
testing and maturation phase, the activities will contribute to the creation of approximately 250 direct and indirect jobs in the region.
Building long-term relationships with communities is also part of the company's strategy in the territories where it operates. In
Guatemala, Aura dedicated more than 1,000 hours to permanent community dialogue sessions — including weekly routines, site visits,
and open forums to address questions. As a result, Aura modified the original project to not only address local concerns but to go beyond
them. The company approved specific investments to treat water to drinking-water standards, making Era Dorada one of the first municipalities
in Guatemala to have access to purified water.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Waste Repurposing and Operational Innovation:** At the Almas unit (TO), Aura advanced the Soil Remineralizer
Project, an initiative that transforms rock dust generated during mining operations — material that would otherwise be sent to tailings
dams — into an agricultural input for soil remineralization. Agronomic and food safety tests have demonstrated promising potential
for controlled application in agriculture. For the company, innovation is part of the business and is not limited to large projects —
it is also present in the small improvements that transform day-to-day operations. In 2025, the company registered 623 ideas from its
teams, a 30% increase compared to the previous year. Global efficiency initiatives generated savings of US$45.6 million for the company.
At Aranzazu, in Mexico, the Company expanded the use of artificial intelligence and automation in mineral processing control. The Automet
project, which integrated statistical data analysis, artificial intelligence algorithms, and advanced process control, reduced input costs
by approximately 16% in six months, while also generating gains in copper, gold, and silver metallurgical recovery.
