About Aura Minerals Inc.

Aura Minerals is a Canadian mid-tier gold and copper production company focused on the development and operation of gold and base metal projects in the Americas. The Company's producing assets include the San Andres gold mine in Honduras and the Sao Francisco gold mine in Brazil.

On June 23, 2016 the Company completed the acquisition and assumed operational control of the Ernesto/Pau-a-Pique Project (the "Project") located in the southwest of Mato Grosso state, near Pontes e Lacerda in Brazil. The Company's primary technical focus for the Project restart will be grade control, choice of the proper small-scale selective mining methods, and geotechnical optimization to reduce dilution, improve overall gold recovery and lower cash operating costs at this relatively high grade Project.

Operations at the copper-gold-silver Aranzazu mine in Mexico have been suspended. The Company's core development asset is the copper-gold-iron Serrote da Laje project in Brazil.
