This brings our trailing 12-month dividend and buyback yield to 6.2%, positioning Aura once again among the world’s leading gold miners for total shareholder returns. During the quarter and in recent months we achieved several key milestones: (i) Declared commercial production at Borborema; (ii) Completed the MSG acquisition; (iii) Secured the early-works license for Era Dorada; (iv) Advanced the Matupá project and (v) Signed the road-relocation agreement at Borborema. These accomplishments are concrete proof that we are executing our strategy: develop high-return greenfield projects to grow production above 600 koz GEO per year, expand resources and reserves, pursue disciplined M&A, and deliver meaningful dividends to shareholders. And there is much more ahead.”
