Aura Minerals produced a preliminary [95,557 gold equivalent ounces](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1468642/000117184326006547/exh%5F991.htm?ref=bullished.co) (GEO) in the third quarter of 2026, a record, the company said in a release furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K on Friday. That is 27% above the second quarter and 29% above the third quarter of 2025, at current metal prices.

## What the release says

GEO converts silver, copper and molybdenum output into gold using price ratios. At constant prices, which remove the effect of metal-price swings, output rose 26% from the second quarter and 25% from a year earlier.

Sales in the quarter totaled [93,742 GEO](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1468642/000117184326006547/exh%5F991.htm?ref=bullished.co), up 20% from the second quarter. Excluding MSG, sales rose 7% from a year earlier, mainly on Borborema and Aranzazu. Including MSG, they rose 25%.

Nine-month production reached 253,131 GEO at current prices, which the company called the highest nine-month total in its history. Over the last twelve months, production was 335,198 GEO, another record and up 27% from the twelve-month period ending with the third quarter of 2025.

## Mine by mine

Borborema produced 22,842 GEO, a quarterly record and 60% above the second quarter, on grades that rose from 1.16 g/t to 1.65 g/t. It was roughly 24% of Aura's total. Compared with the third quarter of 2025, its output was up 124%.

MSG produced 13,321 GEO, up 85% from the second quarter, as grade rose from 0.90 g/t to 1.19 g/t and plant feed climbed 28%. Aranzazu produced 24,920 GEO, up 39% from the second quarter and 16% from a year earlier, on higher grades.

Three mines trailed the prior year:

- Minosa made 13,344 GEO, down 26% from a year earlier and 7% from the second quarter, still tied to a higher stacking level on its leach pad.
- Almas made 14,264 GEO, down 5% from a year earlier and 12% from the second quarter, on lower grades after its plant expansion.
- Apoena made 6,865 GEO, down 26% from a year earlier on lower plant feed and recovery, though up 20% from the second quarter.

## What management expects

CEO and President Rodrigo Barbosa said, "As expected, Q3 was a clear step up from Q2, and with the further increase we expect in Q4 we remain on track to meet our full-year guidance."

He said stacking volumes at Minosa had returned to normal in the third quarter, Almas mine sequencing moves into higher-grade areas, and Apoena's higher-grade Nosde pit areas will be the main ore source in the fourth quarter. At the Era Dorada project, he said construction is on time and on budget, at 13.1% overall physical progress.

The company stressed that the figures are preliminary and final results may differ. Aura's U.S.-listed shares closed at $82.49 on Thursday, before the release.

Final third-quarter results may differ from these preliminary figures, and the company expects output to rise again in the fourth quarter.
