Aura Minerals announced a definitive agreement to acquire Newco, which will own the mining fleet and dedicated workforce at Apoena, Almas, and Borborema, with a January 2027 transition. The deal values the enterprise at about R$612 million (~US$118 million), with up to R$250 million cash and the rest funded via existing leases and contingent payments. Management expects AISC to drop US$150–$200/oz across the three open-pit mines, supporting higher margins as operations scale.
