AURA MINERALS REPORTS FATALITY AT ARANZAZU MINE

A fatal accident occurred at Aura Minerals Inc.'s Aranzazu mine in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, on the morning of Aug. 27, 2014. A miner employed by Aranzazu was fatally injured above ground when unexpected movement of material from a side wall breached his equipment.

All underground and open-pit activities, except emergency requirements, were suspended and secured, and the appropriate governmental agencies were contacted. A formal investigation is under way. The accident area remains closed and secured; however, other normal operations have now resumed.

"We are deeply saddened by this tragic and devastating accident, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, colleagues and friends of the deceased," said James Bannantine, president and chief executive officer of the company.

The company will provide appropriate updates as additional information becomes available. A safe and healthy workplace is a core organizational value, and the company is committed to verifying the safety of all of its employees and contractors and will review safety measures and procedures to prevent such accidents from recurring at any of its operations.
