Aura Minerals secured a US$200 million syndicated loan at the holding-company level to fund supplier payments and prepayments for production as it advances Era Dorada in Guatemala and expands output at its Almas and Borborema operations, targeting more than 600,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year in coming years. The five-year facility carries SOFR plus 2.70% with a two-year grace period, and management says the financing diversifies funding sources and reinforces a balanced, disciplined growth strategy.
