Rodrigo Barbosa, president and chief executive officer, commented: "It is with great honour that we reflect on the execution of the vision we set out in 2018, from implementing our Aura 360 culture to now seeing its results across sustainability, operational excellence and financial growth. In 2024, Aura solidified its trajectory of sustainable growth, increasing production from 236,000 to 267,000 gold equivalent ounces, driven by operational excellence at Almas and Minosa, and strategic expansions like Borborema and the acquisition of Bluestone Resources. Committed to ESG principles, we achieved a 90-per-cent adherence to the World Gold Council's Responsible Mining Principles, implemented innovative environmental practices such as grey water treatment at Borborema and maintained an exemplary safety record with only one lost-time accident in 24 months. Our Aura 360 culture, recognized by great place to work certifications across all operations, fosters diversity, continuous training and community development, ensuring a positive legacy through responsible mining."
