ROAD TOWN - Aura Minerals Inc.(TSX: ORA) (B3: AURA33) ('Aura' or the 'Company'), announces that it was approved on July 13, 2021 an offering (the 'Offering') by its Brazilian subsidiary, Aura Almas Mineracao S.A. ('Almas'), of R$ 400 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes due 2026.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to the Brazilian Interbank Deposit Rate plus 4.35% per annum and will mature in up to 5 years from Notes Issue Date, that is, until July 13, 2026.

The Notes will be offered by Banco BTG Pactual S.A. by way of a public distribution with restricted efforts, pursuant to Brazilian Law No. 6,385, dated December 7, 1976, as amended (the 'Brazilian Capital Markets Law'), and the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios, or the 'CVM') Instruction No. 476, dated January 16, 2009, as amended ('CVM 476') and other applicable legal and regulatory provisions. The Company also announces that, on the same date, Almas entered into a swap agreement with Banco BTG Pactual S.A. to hedge against interest rate fluctuations in the Notes to be issued pursuant to the Offering. Under the Swap terms, the Company will assume an asset position of R$ 400 million, receiving remunerative interest corresponding to 100% of the accumulated variation of the DI Rate, exponentially increased by a surcharge of 4.35% per year, and will pay the exchange variation of Brazilian Reais vs. US Dollars, plus a fixed linear rate of 5.84% per annum. The Swap operation has a principal and interest amortization schedule identical to the Notes' principal and interest amortization schedule. The Notes are secured by the fiduciary sale of Almas shares, pledge on the mineral rights of Almas and corporate guarantees from Aura Gold Mineracao Ltda. and Mineracao Apoena S.A.

The Company will also provide a corporate guarantee in favor of the holders of the Notes within the scope of the Issuance. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering on the development of the Almas Project, located in the State of Tocantins, Brazil, and/or for investment in the acquisition of assets or equity interests in other companies whose main activity is mining, as detailed on deed of issuance.

The transaction is expected to be settled by July 20, 2021.

The Offering is automatically exempted from the registration of public distribution by the CVM referred to in article 19 of the Brazilian Capital Markets Law, and pursuant to article 6 of CVM Instruction 476, and will be registered by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Markets - ANBIMA ('ANBIMA'), pursuant to article 16 et seq. of the ANBIMA Code, upon submission of the documentation described in article 18, item V, of the ANBIMA Code, in the period of up to 15 days from the submission of the notice closing the Offer to CVM.

The Offering was not and will not be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and is not and will not be qualified under a prospectus in any province or territory of Canada.
