Detailed Q3 2025 Production Highlights
Here are the highlights from Q3 2025 and the first nine months of 2025:
Performance by Mine
- Aranzazu: Production reached 21,534 GEO, experiencing a 3% decrease from Q2 2025, attributed primarily to fluctuations in metal prices. The mine's output reflected a decline of 12% compared to Q3 2024, linked to the spike in gold prices which complicated the GEO conversion. Still, production held steady when evaluated at constant prices, reflecting a 4% increase from the previous year.
- Minosa: This mine maintained its solid performance with 18,138 GEO produced, consistent with last quarter's figures. However, output decreased by 13% year-on-year, attributed to fewer ore stacking activities due to increased rainfall impacting operations.
- Almas: Production surged to 15,088 GEO, up by 17% from Q2 2025, thanks to improved operational performance and enhanced ore processing following plant expansions. Year-on-year performances remained steady, with a 10% increase for the nine-month period.
- Apoena: A total production of 9,248 GEO was achieved, 13% above Q2 2025 levels, driven by elevated recovery rates. However, the mine saw a year-on-year decrease of 12% primarily due to higher grade profile in the previous year.
- Borborema: Newly operational, Borborema contributed 10,219 GEO to the total and successfully reached commercial production as scheduled.
Looking Ahead
Given the strong production results and favorable market conditions, Aura is optimistic about its future. The strategic growth initiatives undertaken and the technological advancements in the mining operations help position the company well in a competitive market.
