Record H1 Production and $802M LTM EBITDA Drive Aura's Growth Path to 600k GEO
AUGO has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $23.605 on elevated volume (2.2× avg).
Summary
Aura Minerals reported record first-half production of 157,574 GEO, up 27% YoY, with H1 net revenue of $718.6M and adjusted EBITDA of $440.5M. LTM adjusted EBITDA hit $802M, the 12th consecutive quarterly increase, supported by an average realized gold price of $4,260/oz. Q2 production dipped 8% QoQ to 75,437 GEO due to mine sequencing at Aranzazu, but the company reaffirmed full-year guidance of 340k–390k GEO. Growth projects are advancing: Era Dorada construction is 60% complete on earthmoving, Almas is expanding toward 3 Mtpa, and engineering studies at Borborema aim to increase capacity. The company generated a 4.3% yield over the last twelve months through dividends and buybacks. This follows preliminary Q2 production reported in July, but now includes full financials and detailed project updates that confirm strong cash generation and a clear path to 600k GEO annually.
