The dividend represents a 9.2% yield for the last twelve months. BDR holders will receive US$0.0833 per BDR, payable around March 28, 2025.

The dividend payment exceeds the minimum outlined in the Company's Dividend Policy, which stipulates quarterly cash dividends equal to 20% of Adjusted EBITDA less sustaining capital and exploration expenditures. Since its re-IPO in 2020, Aura has maintained strong dividend distributions, with combined dividend and share buyback yields of 13.5% in 2021 and 6% in both 2022 and 2023, while developing the Almas mine and advancing the Borborema project construction.
