Aura Minerals secures a $200 million syndicated loan

On 18 September 2026, Aura Minerals announced that it entered into a syndicated loan facility for an aggregate principal amount of $200 million as borrower at the holding company level. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Itaú BBA Assessoria Financeira S.A. acted as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners for the financing.

The loan carries an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.70% per year, features a two-year grace period, and matures in 5 years. Aura Minerals plans to use the net proceeds to finance payments to suppliers and prepay costs related to producing and selling its goods across the parent company or its subsidiaries.

Rodrigo Barbosa, CEO and President of Aura Minerals, stated that the transaction strengthens the company's capital structure and extends its financial flexibility. The financing supports Aura's medium-term production target of more than 600,000 gold equivalent ounces per year, including the ongoing construction of the Era Dorada project and capacity expansions at the Almas and Borborema mines.
