Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except where otherwise noted. (Unaudited)

  1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
    Aura Minerals Inc. ("Aura Minerals" or the "Company") is a mining company focused on the operation and development of mining properties in the Americas.
    Aura Minerals is a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Symbol: ORA). The Company is incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (British Virgin Islands). The Company's registered office is located at
    Craigmuir Chambers, PO Box 71, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands. The Company maintains a head office at 78 SW 7th street, 7115, Miami, Florida 33130, United States of America.
    The Company's majority shareholder is Northwestern Enterprises Ltd ("Northwestern"), a company beneficially owned by the Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board").
    These financial statements were approved for issue by the Board effective May 22, 2020.
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION
    The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB have been condensed or omitted. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, ("2019 Annual Financial Statements").
    In particular, the Company's significant accounting policies were presented in Note 3 of 2019 Annual Financial Statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period as explained in Note 3. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.
    The accounting policies followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in Note 3 of 2019 Annual Financial Statements, with the exception of income taxes that are based on the weighted average effective tax rates and the application of certain new and amended IFRS pronouncements issued by the IASB, which were effective from January 1, 2020. Of those new and amended IFRS pronouncements that had a significant impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements are described in Note 5 below.
    The functional currency of the Company and majority of its subsidiaries is the United States Dollar ("US Dollar") except for several services companies in Mexico which have a function currency of Mexican Pesos ("MXN Pesos") and several Brazilian subsidiaries in Brazilian Reais ("BRL Reais"). All values in the consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand.
  3. IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was reported in China. By March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization deemed the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic.

During the first quarter of 2020, measures were taken by governments to contain the pandemic, including in some of the countries in which the Company operates. On March 16, 2020, the Honduran government approved by PCM Decree 21-2020, among others, the suspension of work in the public and private sectors, with private companies such as Aura having to operate with a minimal work force for general maintenance no greater than 50 people. Mining operations

at San Andres were interrupted and Aura has reduced its workforce to the minimum in order to maintain tailings and continue to satisfy environmental requirements in connection with operations and other critical activities at the mine. The Honduran government has issued new orders since then extending its previously-issued decree until May 24, 2020.

On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a decree requiring the suspension of all non-essential activities in the private and public sectors until April 30, 2020, which has since been extended until May 30, 2020. Nevertheless, on May 12, 2020, mining was included as an essential activity by the Mexican authorities, and mining Companies were allowed to request authorization to fully resume operations from May 18, 2020.

The March 31 decree allowed businesses to maintain critical activities which, if interrupted, could result in potentially irreversible damage that prevents their further continuation. Accordingly, the Company suspended all non- essential operations at Aranzazu while maintaining only critical activities which are required to prevent safety and/or environmental risks from materializing and potentially irreversible damage occurring that could prevent our operations from continuing.

As of March 31, 2020, the currency of Brazil and Mexico devaluated from December 31, 2019 by 29% and 29%, respectively, which affected various financial statement line items including foreign exchange gain/loss (Note 25), deferred tax assets (Note 14), and VAT taxes (Note 7).

The Company has been monitoring the developments of the pandemic and instituted some preventative measures to ensure the safety of its workforce and local communities by having essential personnel on-site and other non-essential personnel work remotely.

As a result of the events and factors described above, assumptions utilized by the Company, such as future metal prices, exchange rates, discount rates, and other key assumptions, in the impairment assessments are subject to greater uncertainty given the current economic conditions. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts future business activity or financial results (including impairment of non-financial assets), and the duration of any such negative impact, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unknown at this time.

4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in Note 3 of the 2019 Annual Financial Statements, except for the effects of the following new and revised standards, which were adopted by the Company, effective January 1, 2020:

Revised "Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting"

On March 29, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a revised "Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting" which is currently being used by the Board and Interpretations Committee of the IASB in developing new pronouncements. The revision includes definitions of an "asset" and a "liability" along with new guidance on measurement, derecognition, presentation, and disclosure.

Amendments to IFRS 3 regarding the definition of "business"

On October 22, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued an amendment to the "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)" to clarify the definition of a "business" to remove difficulties in determining whether a company has acquired a business or a group of assets.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 regarding the definition of "materiality"

On October 31, 2018, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued an amendment to the "Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)" to clarify the definition of "material" and to align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework and the standards.

  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
    The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements and to form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities. Management's estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
    Please refer to Note 4 of the 2019 Annual Financial Statements for the critical accounting policies under which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made and where actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the Company's consolidated statements of financial position reported in future periods.
    As a result of the events and factors described in Note 3, as at March 31, 2020, triggering events were identified in relation to the operation in Mexico and Honduras. As a result, an impairment assessment was performed by management with no impairments identified, as the recoverable amount of those assets (defined as the fair value less cost to sell), exceeded the carrying value. The precision of the recoverable value, the associated estimates and the likelihood of future changes in these estimates depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. Actual results may materially differ from management's estimates, especially due to the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Critical judgements made in determining the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities in relation to the Acquisition of Gold Road Corporation (see Note 6 for details) include the discount rate and the cash flows associated with the fair value of certain property, plant and equipment acquired and the discount rate and probabilities assigned to the exercise of the prepayment option used in the determination of the fair value of the assumed Pandion Debt.
  2. ACQUISITION OF GOLD ROAD CORPORATION
    On March 7th, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire all the outstanding common shares of Z79 Resources, Inc. ("Z79") (the "Share Purchase Agreement"), which, through Z79 holds: I) a 94% interest in
    Gold Road Mining Corp. ("GRMC"), which in turn owns the Gold Road Mine located in Arizona (the "Gold Road Project") and II) a 94% interest in TR-UE Vein Exploration, Inc. ("TR-UE Vein"), which in turn owns various options to acquire parcels of land adjacent to the Gold Road Project. The Company entered into the purchase of the Gold Road mine to further diversify its portfolio of mines in the Americas. The Gold Road mine is currently in care and maintenance.
    The closing of the Gold Road Project acquisition occurred on March 27, 2020. Consideration paid pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement consists of $1. As part of the acquisition, the Company assumed a debt of $35 million, with an option to pre-pay for $24 million during the first year, which was fair valued at $25.2 million and guaranteed with the mine itself.
    The transaction was deemed to be within the scope of IFRS 3 - Business Combinations and concluded that the activities of Z79 constitute a business.

The allocation of the purchase consideration to the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities (other than cash) is preliminary and may be revised by the Company as additional information becomes available.

In connection with the purchase of the Gold Road mine, the Company assumed a royalty (the "Royalty"), paid to Mojave Desert Minerals, Inc., a non-related party to the Company, that is equal to 2.0% of Net Smelter Returns on all gold-mined from the Gold Road mine (the "Gold Road-Mined Products") and 1.0% of Net Smelter Returns on all gold-processed in the Gold Road mine (the "Gold Road-Processed Products") sold or deemed to have been sold by or for Gold Road.

The Company also acquired the rights to certain options to purchase and explore several adjacent parcels of land (subject to future NSR royalty arrangements) surrounding the Gold Road mine. These options have been assigned a minimal value.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the Gold Road mine, the Company incurred acquisition-related expenses of $91 which were reflected mainly in travel expenses and legal, filing, listing and transfer agent fees categories in General and Administrative expenses.

After the acquisition, the Company increased capital in GRMC for an aggregate amount of $8,000 with $4,000 paid at the date of closing on March 27, 2020 and another $4,000 to be paid on April 27, 2020 for working capital purposes.

Due to their short-term maturities, the fair value of trade and other receivables approximate their carrying value.

Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company notes that such receivables arise when ore that has been produced has been shipped to the buyer in accordance to the applicable agreement. The Company does not recognize any receivables related to ore that is estimated or has not yet been produced. As of March 31, 2020, the company has a provision for expected credit losses for $44.

Value added tax receivables are expected to be recovered, taking into consideration the different alternatives available to the company, including: (1) Reimbursement from government authorities, (2) Used as credit for income tax payments and (3) As payment to certain suppliers.

Provision for mine closure and restoration is related to the closure costs and environmental restoration associated with mining operations. The provisions have been recorded at their net present values, using discount rates based upon the risk-free rates of 4.4%, 7.14%, and 8.86% for Brazil, Mexico, and Honduras, respectively. The provisions have been remeasured at each reporting date, with the accretion expense being recorded as a finance cost. The change in estimate increased during 2019 was primarily driven by the changes in discount rates and inflation rates across all sites and increased additional costs for the Aranzazu mine due to the full year activity since the ramp-up in commercial production.

The net loss on call/put options and fixed price contracts for gold increased for the three months in 2020 due to the fact that gold market prices increased in first quarter of 2020. Thus, the Company incurred realized and unrealized losses with derivatives (zero cost collars and forwards).

The net gain (loss) on foreign currency derivatives and the foreign exchange gain (loss) increased during the three months in 2020 due to the fact that there was a significant devaluation of the Brazilian Reais against the US Dollar.

27 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company records the fair value of the fixed price contracts instruments and put/call options instruments at the end of the reporting period as an asset (in the money) or liability (out of the money).

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages its liquidity risk through a rigorous planning and budgeting process, which is reviewed and updated on a regular basis, to help determine the funding requirements to support the Company's current operations and expansion and development plans and by managing its capital structure as described in Note 29 below.

The Company's objective is to ensure that there are sufficient committed financial resources to meet its short‐term

business requirements for a minimum of twelve months. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future payments as disclosed in the following table:

As at March 31, 2020, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $29,698 and a working capital of $19,306 (current assets less current liabilities). Management continues to closely monitor the developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential impact on the Company's operations and liquidity.

e) Currency risk

The Company's operations are located in Honduras, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States; therefore, foreign exchange

risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Although the Company's sales are

denominated in United States dollars, certain operating expenses of the Company are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Honduran lempira, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and Canadian dollar.

Financial instruments that impact the Company's net losses or other comprehensive losses due to currency fluctuations

include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short term loans and other provisions denominated in foreign currencies.

At March 31 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29,698, of which, $26,057 were in United States dollars, $42 in Canadian dollars, $2,635 in Brazilian reais, $896 in Honduran lempiras, $50 in Mexican pesos, and $18 in Colombian pesos. An increase or decrease of 10% in the United States dollar exchange rate to the currencies listed above

could have increased or decreased the Company's income for the year by $364.

  1. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is generally associated with variable rate financial instruments and available market interest rates at the time financial instruments are acquired. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash, cash equivalents as it holds a portion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in bank accounts that earn variable interest rates. Some of the borrowings in Mexico have a variable interest rate based on one-month LIBOR plus 7.00% or TIEE plus 4.2%. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have

increased consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the period by $343. A decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have decreased the consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the period by $343.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) for the Mexican borrowing with one-month LIBOR plus 7% would have increased consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the period by $147. A decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have decreased the consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the period by $147.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) for the Mexican borrowing with Mexican TIEE + 4.2% would have increased consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the year by $32. A decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points (1 percent) would have decreased the consolidated loss and comprehensive loss for the year by $32.

  1. Commodity price risk

The Company is subject to price risk from fluctuations in market prices of gold, copper and other metals. Gold, copper and other metal prices have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous factors outside of the Company's control.

The profitability of the Company's operations is highly correlated to the market prices of these metals, as is the ability of the Company to develop its other properties.

A 10% change in the average commodity price for gold for the year, with all other variables held constant, would result in an impact on the Company's first quarter 2020 consolidated net income and comprehensive income of $3,113. A 10% change in the average commodity price for copper concentrate (which is mainly impacted for the Copper and Gold prices) for the year, with all other variables held constant, would result in an impact on the Company's first quarter 2020 consolidated net income and comprehensive income of $1,735.

h) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31,

2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized in the following table:

The Company measures certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and these are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of the fair value hierarchy that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, with Level 1 inputs having the highest priority. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1, which are inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, which are inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3, which are inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The Company classifies derivative assets and liabilities in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models which require a variety of inputs such as expected gold price.

28 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives in managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained in order to properly develop and operate its current projects and pursue strategic growth initiatives, to ensure that externally imposed capital requirements related to any debt obligations are complied with, and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. In assessing the capital structure of the Company, management includes in its assessment the components of shareholders' equity and long‐term debt. The Company manages its capital structure considering changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the underlying assets, and the Company's liquidity requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may be required to issue common shares or debt, re‐pay existing debt, acquire or dispose of assets, or adjust amounts of certain investments.

In order to facilitate management of capital, the Company prepares annual budgets which are updated periodically if changes in the Company's business are considered to be significant. The Board reviews and approves all operating and capital budgets as well as the entering into of any material debt obligations, and any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business, including dispositions, acquisitions and other investments or divestitures. Prior to 2019, the Company had not paid dividends. At the end of 2019, the Company declared dividends on December 31, 2019.

In January 2020, the Company paid out dividends for an amount of $3,044.

Effective as at such time as Apoena has paid the Royalty on up to 1,000,000 troy ounces of the Subject Metals, the Royalty shall without the requirement for any further act or formality, reduce to 1.0% of Net Smelter Returns on all Subject Metals sold or deemed to have been sold by or for Apoena.

On October 27, 2017, SBMM entered into an agreement (the "Royalty Swap Agreement") with Iraja Mineracao Ltda, a company beneficially owned or controlled by Paulo de Brito, third-party company, for the swap of the EPP Royalty with the RDM Royalty (as defined in the Royalty Swap Agreement) with no change to the terms of the royalty calculation. The Company has incurred expenses of the related royalties of $286 in the first three months of the 2020 year and has a liability outstanding of $90 at March 31, 2020.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except where otherwise noted. (Unaudited)

Revenues for the San Andres Mine and the Brazilian mines relate to the sale of refined gold. Revenue for the Aranzazu mine relates to the sale of gold and copper concentrate. Company's revenues are concentrated in a reduced number of customers and management continuously monitors the relationship with their clients.

31 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  1. Operating commitments

The Company has the following commitments for future minimum payments under operating leases:

March 31, 2020

December 31, 2019

Within one year

$

413

$

Two to Four Years

$

$

709

b) Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these financial statements which may result in a loss to the Company in the future when certain events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses at each reporting date its loss contingencies related to ongoing legal proceedings by evaluating the likelihood of such proceedings, as well as the amounts claimed or expected to be claimed.

Included in other provisions as of March 31, 2020 is a provision of $742 (2019: $328) for loss contingencies related to ongoing legal claims.

32 LOSS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the "if-converted method" in assessing the dilution impact of convertible instruments until maturity. The if-converted method assumes that all convertible instruments until maturity have been converted in determining fully diluted profit per share if they are in-the-money, except where such conversion would be anti-dilutive. At the end of March 31, 2020, the Company had a total of 28,760 stock options and 12,653 deferred stock units ("DSUs") that were in-the-money; however, due to the fact that the Company had losses in the year, the effects of these convertible instruments would result in an anti-dilutive effect. Thus, these items were not considered in the diluted loss per share calculation.

The following table summarizes activity for the three months ended March 31:

33 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 16, 2020, the Honduran government approved by decree the suspension of work in the public and private sectors, with private companies such as Aura having to operate with a minimal workforce for general maintenance no greater than 50 people. Mining operations at the San Andres subsidiary were interrupted. Aura has reduced its workforce to the minimum to continue to satisfy environmental requirements in connection with operations and other critical activities at the mine. On a few occasions, the Honduran government issued new orders which extended its previously-issued decree until May 24, 2020. Such interruption is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financials.

On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a decree requiring the suspension of all non-essential activities in the private and public sectors until April 30, 2020, which was then extended until May 30, 2020. Nevertheless, on May 12, 2020, mining was included as an essential activity by the Mexican authorities, and mining companies were allowed to request authorization to resume operations from May 18, 2020 fully. The Company is now in the process to assess the start of the operations.

The March 31 decree allowed businesses to maintain critical activities which, if interrupted, could result in potentially irreversible damage that would prevent their further continuation. Accordingly, the Company suspended all non- essential operations at the Aranzazu subsidiary while maintaining critical activities that were required in order to avoid safety and/or environmental risks from materializing and potentially irreversible damage occurring that could prevent our operations from continuing.

Despite these operational restrictions, there has not been a material impact on the mine's operational or financial performance to date due to accumulated inventory at the site.

The Company and its subsidiaries have put a series of actions and biosafety protocols in place during this period, besides expanding its social work with all the communities where it operates, including donations of food, medicine, and medical supplies. From an operational perspective, the Pandemic has impacted our operations to varying degrees.
