- Aura Minerals Inc. is a mid-tier gold and copper production company focused on the development and operation of gold and base metal projects across the Americas, primarily in Brazil, Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. The company’s core products and services include the mining and processing of gold, copper, and silver through its operating mines such as Minosa Mine (Honduras), Apoena Mine and Borborema Projects (Brazil), Aranzazu Mine (Mexico), and Almas Mine (Brazil). It also manages several projects in development and exploration, including the Matupá project in Brazil and gold projects in Guatemala (Era Dorada) and Colombia (Tolda Fría). Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Coconut Grove, Florida, Aura Minerals operates through a business model that emphasizes project development, operational excellence, and sustainable mining practices. Recent major company changes include the completion of the acquisition of Mineração Serra Grande S.A. from AngloGold Ashanti in December 2025, expanding its footprint with a gold mine located in Goiás, Brazil, and the May 2024 acquisition of the Pé Quente and Pezão Projects in the Alta Floresta Gold Province of Mato Grosso, Brazil, aimed at significantly increasing mineral resources and reserves. Aura Minerals also completed the acquisition of Guatemalan gold developer Bluestone Resources in early 2025, enhancing its production portfolio and exploration pipeline. These strategic acquisitions and operational expansions position Aura Minerals as a diversified and growing gold and copper producer with a strong presence across the Americas and a commitment to advancing its projects under rigorous safety and sustainability standards.
