Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Notes
Forward-Looking Statements

All statements made in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements. The actual results of Aura Minerals may differ significantly from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by securities regulations, the
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the above-stated
date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of copper, gold, nickel and iron ore, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources,
the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new
deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks,
unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of litigation. In certain cases, forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not
anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved”. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company
to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to
the integration of acquisitions; risks related to international operations; risks related to joint venture operations; actual results of current exploration activities; conclusions of economic
evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of copper, gold, nickel and iron ore; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates;
failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing
or in the completion of development or construction activities. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be
no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
