Thank you and good morning, all. I'm super proud to be here sharing a few informations, not only the results, but all the strategic advancements that Aura is pursuing. If I remind all the investors here and analysts about our strategy, we are very much executing right on track on our strategy. The strategy is, number one, to increase production through development of greenfield projects. Number two, to increase resource and reserves as we see significant potential in our current deposits to increase the reserves. Number three, continue to grow through M&As and address our daily trading volume, our multiple, that is still discounted compared to our peers. Doing all these three, while we continue to pay significant dividends to our shareholders. I'm glad today that I will be able to walk you through that we've been executed in all of those three areas while we pay dividends. Number one, first, going to the results, and I ask to put on the first page. In terms of execute on greenfield projects and also improving the results, we see again, the company going on record high production on a quarterly basis and also on a yearly basis. On a quarterly basis, which we have already disclosed to the market, we produced 82,000 ounces, gold equivalent ounces, 11% up compared to Q3 2025 and 23% compared to Q4 last year. On annual production, 280,000 ounces of production, 9% up, at constant price and at guidance prices, excluding MSG acquisition, that was not on the budget and was not on the guidance, we were very much in line with the middle and actually slightly above the middle of the guidance with the market. The combination of a higher production, cost under control, and higher gold prices, drove us to hit $208 million on the quarter with a gold price of $4,090, while MSG, only one month, and Borborema is still on the final phase, achieving nominal capacity. When we look to the year, we reach $548 million of EBITDA with the gold price, $3,400. If I remind the investors, since 2023, we've been doubling the EBITDA, coming from $135 million, $270 million, now $540 million. If you take into account the last EBITDA of $280 million with the gold and put the new gold price and then put a higher production, we'll see that we'll be able to, during this year, perhaps, maintaining this gold price, double again our EBITDA if the current gold prices continue to be as strong as it is today. On the all-in sustaining cash costs, we are glad also to disclose to the market that we have not only reached the guidance, but we are slightly below the low end of the guidance, and I will talk more through this during the presentation. Higher gold price, cost under control. We have a very also strong recurring free cash flow of close to $100 million on last quarter. Understanding that we are also investing in inventories, investing in developing the mines, which puts some low grade into the inventory. Some working capital is allocated as an inventory, as low grades of the. We leave the low grades of the mines that are entering production to the further years, while we now focus on higher grades. I will talk more about this also during the presentation. Combination of strong cash flows, although we acquired MSG, and pay dividends, we continue to be at the low leverage ratio. Kleber is gonna walk you through that always being able to grow without even leveraging our cash flows that coming from the operations being more than enough to fund our acquisitions and our greenfield projects, while we also counter with a leverage to fund those projects, freeing more cash to be distributed to our shareholders. A good news, it's a net loss of $20 million. That means that gold price continues to appreciate. If you take out these non-cash, non-recurring losses, we'll see that during the year, the adjusted net income was $260 million, and Kleber is gonna walk you through all the details, how to achieve this $200 million. For the year 2026, we continue to have a strong production coming from our operations, and some increase on our all-in sustaining cash costs, some increase in also in CapEx, due to positive news. We are now expanding Almas. We are coming from Almas, we built at 1.3 million tons plant. Last year, we finished above 2 million tons. We are now upgrading to 3 million tons to the plant. That means that we have to develop the mine, that needs to raise the tailings dam. We are also advancing in Era Dorada. We just announced Era Dorada early works. We also acquired MSG for $76 million. MSG has structurally a higher sustaining CapEx and a higher CapEx during the year of the turnaround, and structurally will be higher than our average. However, the price that we paid for MSG more than justified, this is higher CapEx, sustaining CapEx, and also higher sustaining cash costs, which we will walk you through also during the presentation. Very important additional events. Again, we closed MSG. We got the license for early works in Era Dorada, which we already started the early works. We are now finishing all the analysis, all the studies, to be able to go, then approve in the board the full construction. Yesterday, we also announced a major milestone for Borborema, which we obtained the license to move the road, reaching now 1.5 million ounces, just with the relocation of the road, freeing additional 670,000 ounces of reserves into the project. While we continue to analyze during the next few weeks, for the AIF or 20-F to be released by the end of March, we are updating our resource and reserves based on our higher gold price, which means lower cut-off that will free more reserves into all across our operations. Major milestones that we conquered also is, after listing in Nasdaq and after the new issuance in $200 million, Aura came from, in one year, $1 million-$2 million being traded per day, now reaching $100 million per day. Addressing the low trading volume that we had, now being attractive for major investors to invest in the company. Finally, not least, announcing again a very strong dividends of $0.66 per share on a quarterly basis, which gives a yield on the last 12 months of 6.2% for shareholders, while we made acquisition, while we ramp up Borborema, and while we're doing all these growth projects. In summary, we can see that we are very much delivering on the long-term strategy. Number one, we are increasing production and developing the greenfield projects. Borborema last year, again, on time, on budget, commercial production in September. We also acquired MSG, and this is the third avenue, is continue to grow through M&As, address daily trading volume. On the third avenue, we acquired MSG, and we significantly increased daily trading volume, which is helping us to attract more bigger investors, although yet we are still discounted compared to our peers. The second avenue, to increase resource and reserves, again, with the Borborema, we increased Borborema reserves by 82% of reserves, significantly increasing cash flows of this project. I can also walk you through a little bit the importance of this additional 670,000 ounces, which I will do during the presentation. Very much increasing production, increasing resource and reserves, and address the multiple through daily trading volume and also new acquisitions. In terms of safety, super proud, and again, now, all those numbers are putting Aura as a benchmark in the world, in the sector. Not only we had the full year without any single lost time incidents, but now we're achieving over 18 months with no lost time incidents, which put us on a benchmark in the world in terms of safety. Any well-managed company will give you strong levels of safety and also strong results. In terms of stability of the structures, again, we make reviews every quarter, every month, through external consultants, and all our geotechnical structures are in satisfactory levels. Next slide. When we look on the quarterly basis on the production that we have already disclosed, now we see since Q1, 20 and 25th, a constant growth on production, through a combination of the ramp-up of Borborema, and lastly, still not, only December, the acquisition of MSG. For the further quarters, we should see now continue to grow, in terms of, production on a quarterly basis as MSG now comes a full quarter, and then gradually we should also improve our production from our other operations. When we looked, on the guidance, we see that Aranzazu, the production, when you consider the same metal prices of the budget, we see that we are very much in line with the guidance in terms of production. I will get attention from those that are not used to looking on carefully our numbers. Aranzazu, we sell copper and gold concentrate, and then we convert all the copper into gold equivalent ounces. To do that, you get just the revenues, the revenues from copper, and you divide by the gold price. The higher the gold price, the lower the conversion into the gold equivalent ounces. When you look the number of Aranzazu, and you see the gold equivalent ounces decreasing along the last year, it is mostly because gold price is appreciated, which is positive for our whole company, and that conversion goes to a lower gold equivalent ounces, which also translates to higher all-in sustaining cash costs, because you divide by the total cost by the gold equivalent ounces, gives you, and the gold equivalent ounces is lower, so that gives us a higher all-in sustaining cash costs. That is because of a good news of a gold Apoena, we've been able to develop faster than where we were projecting during the year, so we could also produce above the guidance. Minosa are very much in line with the guidance. Almas also very much in line with the guidance. Borborema is where we were a little bit below the guidance. Because we had the project, we had some minor issues with the agitators of the CIL tanks that did not jeopardize the ramp-up, but as this was driving to a lower recoveries, we decided just to put for a couple of months, very low grades instead of high grades, not to lose the long term, not to lose recoveries on that project. That drives the production down, while we preserved those, that high-grade golds, when we could finish the fix on the CIR tanks, which took us just a couple of months, not jeopardizing the ramp-up again, not jeopardizing reaching on now capacity and not jeopardizing the recoveries that we reached after we changed those parts on the CIL tanks. Next. In terms of all-in sustaining cash costs, excluding MSG, I'm proud also to show the market that we also could not only be within the guidance, which is the next slide, but also slightly below the low end of the guidance, fulfilling what we promised to the markets in terms of production and also in terms of costs. If we take out the MSG, our all-in sustaining cash costs for Q4 would have been $1,363. As we know, as we acquired MSG, we know our MSG had over $3,000 of all-in sustaining cash costs, which doesn't scare us. I think that was the positive point on acquiring MSG, was to see those high all-in sustaining cash costs in project and believe that, during the turnaround of this year, we'll be able to drive that all-in sustaining cash costs to below $2,000 for the years ahead. Not this year, but for the years ahead. Next. Just to quickly go into the guidance, I just mentioned to you, on terms of production, very much in the middle, slightly above the middle of the guidance. On the cash costs per gold equivalent ounces, also, we reached the finish the year at $1,070. The low end of the guidance was at $1,078. All-in sustaining, that translates also to a lower all-in sustaining cash costs, finishing $1,368, and the low end of the guidance at $1,374. Very much in line with the guidance in terms of CapEx, understanding that there was a year that we also built Borborema and decided to move forward with the expansion of Almas, or the first phase, and now we are going to the second phase of the expansion of Almas. Next. For the 2026, give an overview here of the guidance, and then Kleber can go in a little bit more detail into the next slide. In terms of production, now we project full year of Borborema, full year also of MSG, although MSG still during this year, on 2026, in MSG, we are not focusing to produce the most at the lowest cost. We are focused on preparing that mine to be able to produce over 80,000 ounces per year and below $2,000 for the next year. This year is a turnaround, although during this year, imagine that we should, we projected at producing 50,000 ounces - 60,000 ounces of production, even if the cost is above $3,000 per year all-in, we have the price, gold price of today is $5,200, so it's $2,200 of free cash flow margin in a turnaround year for MSG. That price converted to 50,000 or 60,000 ounces, means that the free cash flow, and maybe that will be way above this, is $100 million, $120 million, $130 million in this project that we acquired for $76 in the year, that yet we are not focused on production, we are not focused on cost. We are focused on preparing that mine to higher production along the next years. In terms of. That higher all-in sustaining cash costs, which Kleber is gonna explain, is translated to, of MSG, it's translated to higher cash costs in our consolidated levels, higher all-in sustaining cash costs also in our consolidated levels, and Kleber is gonna explain that 65%-8 0% of this increase is explained by MSG. We have other factors that we will just go in more details during the presentation. In terms of CapEx, is the same situation. It's a year that we are investing in MSG, we are expanding Almas. Almas, we are doing the pushback of the pit to fast access, also the underground development. We are expanding the capacity of the plant. We are already doing it. This expansion project is not the full investment in Era Dorado, but yet already the first ground work, the first early works. There's a lot of capital that's been committed for good news, which we are expanding production, expanding to go at 600 or even above 600, preparing the company to go above the 600,000 ounces of gold equivalent on the upcoming years. In terms of production, again, Aranzazu, that decrease, it comes from mostly metal prices. Although Aranzazu is where we are more stable and getting more lower grades during the next years, while we continue to explore opportunities to decrease the cost of mine and the cost of plant to offset this slightly lower grades in Aranzazu. Borborema, the range of 65,000 ounces - 77,000 ounces, this is also accounts that we are working, and we should publish it, our new resources and reserves, the old AIF, now the 20-F, by the end of March. That means that we are updating our resources and reserves and all the mine plan of the company based on the new cutoff with a higher gold price. That means with a higher gold price, we reduce the cutoff, we can free and release and convert more resources into the reserves. On the other hand, the grades, average grades goes down. All in all, it builds value. It's a positive news, because we are now assessing grades that was not economical viable in the past. With this higher gold price, we've been able to access more ounces on total, although it's lower than former grades that we were projected in the past. That is a positive news that has, on the long term, that has minor impact on the short terms. Next slide. Kleber? Yes, sure, Rodrigo. Good morning, everyone. Let's start with understanding the main drivers behind the impact of the increase in, first, in the all-in sustaining cash costs. Expect all-in sustaining cash costs in 2026 is expected to increase between $262 and $407 compared to 2025. As we can see here, on the right side on the top, the main driver for the increase by far is MSCG, that's bringing up our weighted average cash costs, explains 70%-80% of this increase. Metal price effect that Rodrigo was explaining, the gold equivalent conversion, because gold prices on average in 2026 are, if we take market projections, are above the average of 2025, accelerating more than copper price, explains another 5% in our increase. The second impact that we have is in Almas. Almas, due to mining sequencing this year, we're doing a pushback in the mine and having higher strip ratio. The costs and lower grades also due to mining sequencing, the costs is they increase this year. This is not expected to be repeated, for example, in 2027. We also have tailings dam expansion this year in Almas. In Almas, it's mostly no recurring this, these effects. Other impacts are marginal. We have slightly minor worse cash costs in Minosa, for example, but better cash costs in Apoena, they compensate each other. On the bottom, understanding the main increases behind the sustaining CapEx. It's a similar story, 75%-70% of the increase, we're expecting to see an increase in 2026 compared to 2025, between $15 million and $17 million, of which about 2/3 are MSG. First, because it's an underground mine, it has a higher sustaining cash cost, we should not expect going forward to see sustaining CapEx for MSG comparable to the other open pit Brazilian mines, it's gonna be higher. It also is a turnaround year, as we have been communicating. We're gonna be allocating some additional capital, especially in maintenance in MSG. In Almas, it's the same reason. Almas explains another 15%-20% of the increase in the sustaining CapEx for the same reason, the pushback, a portion of the waste is capitalized as sustained CapEx, and explain also a portion of this increase. Finally, of course, Borborema is gonna be operating for a full year. In 2025, we had just three years of commercial production for Borborema. Three months, yeah. Three months, sorry. Then in 2026, we have up to 12 months. Of course, that brings a higher sustaining CapEx. Finally, when we look at the expansion CapEx, what is in our guidance for 2026, mainly is almost undergrounds, developments in the plant expansion that we are investing to increase the plant capacity to 3 million tons until the end of the year. Apoena, we have the second year of the north pushback that we are planning in 2025 and 2026, to invest in the north phase three pits to have higher grades from 2027, so this is the second year. In Borborema, we have a filter press expansion. So the filter press now is the current bottleneck that we have at the plant. By expanding the filter press, we can go beyond the nominal installed capacity that we have today at the plant, and it also is gonna help us prepare for a potential expansion of the plant in the future. Also, we're gonna be investing engineering studies for potential expansion now that we were able to get the permits to move the roads. The Era Dorada as well, we're investing in the early works, and we have then some other impacts, such as Matupá and some investment in the projects. Back to you, Rodrigo. Thank you. I think one major milestone that we also achieved, again, on the next slide, is the license that we've been discussing with the National Authorities, that we finally signed an agreement, partnerships to move that road. That is releasing 670,000 ounces of gold on the mine sequencing. Just hypothetically, if you get the gold price as of today, $5,200, and then you imagine our all-in sustaining cash cost of $1,500, which are according to our mine sequence, which is below this, we see, and then you multiply by the 670,000 ounces, you see that the company with this, will be able to generate along the years, more than $2.5 billion pre-tax in this project. That's the size of the magnitude that these additional ounces can generate. Of course, we don't wanna go from, we already have 15, 16 years old, 16 years of life of mine, that we expand to above 20, 25. We don't wanna do this. That's why we made the plant flexible, now we are advancing on Engineering studies and water access in order to expand the capacity of the plant, perhaps up to 4 million tons, that will drive us to a significantly higher production after we finish and we conclude the expansion. We are now working on Engineering, we are now working on water access. We believe during the second semester, more towards the fourth quarter, we'll be able to present a high detailed and a new feasibility study for these projects using now a higher capacity. While we also we're doing, and we should expect for the 20-F by March, this project is very sensible to cut-off grades. As gold price is going up, we are changing the price for cut-off, which means that we can now access, as I was mentioning, lower grades that was not economically viable in this project, now becomes viable. We should expect further increase in reserves, by the end of March, when we publish the new resource and reserves for the entire company, particularly here in Borborema. I mentioned that we are delivering on the greenfield projects on time, on budget. Remind Borborema, the first almost, now Borborema, we are delivering on new acquisitions. We closed MSG in December, we also told the market, we've been telling the market for the last many years, that we had to address the daily trade volume, and here it is, the very successful results of our listing in Nasdaq and moving from TSX and then listing in Nasdaq, that coming from $1.5 million-$2 million per day, now reaching on average in February, $100 million per day with a combination of a Nasdaq plus B3. That will also help us address the multiple. According to the analysts, we are still traded with a discount compared to our peers, we will not only change the peers coming from the production of 300,000 ounces on average last year or this year, to above 600,000 ounces, and then also with the higher daily volume and higher reputation as we are delivering on our projects, we should address this discounted compared to our peers, and maybe even be with a premium compared to our peers as we continue to grow. With that, I conclude here the more high-level analysis. Kleber is gonna drive and walk you through the details of the results, then I come back for questions. Okay, thank you. We start with summary of the main financial KPIs that we are reporting for the quarter, for the year, and also comparing with the previous quarters. As Rodrigo mentioned, and we see the results here, a combination of the higher gold prices in the fourth quarter, and increasing production in the fourth quarter as well. There was a substantial increase in our net revenues, closing the quarter with $322 million, and bringing our annual revenues beyond $920 million in 2025. The Adjusted EBITDA, it's the sixth quarter in a row that we deliver a record high Adjusted EBITDA at $208 million, considering Q4 average gold prices close to $4,000 per ounce, and bringing our annual EBITDA to $547 million as well, in also the last 12 months, also the sixth in a row that we see increasing. We move to Net income, we're reporting a net loss of $20 million, basically for the same reason that we reported losses in some of the previous quarters, due to the sharp increase in gold prices during the quarter, which is good news. It brings no cash losses related to our outstanding gold derivatives. Excluding those no cash losses, which amounted about $82 million in the quarter, in certain other no cash items, we see that we had also an improvements in the adjusted net income, reaching $73 million, in the quarter. In terms of cash and net debt, we see we continue in a very comfortable, position in terms of balance sheets. There was, some increase in our net debt in the quarter, but that's basically because, in Q4, we paid for the acquisition of MSCG. Unlike, many other cases, many other companies when make acquisitions there are maybe some reduction in dividends, we did not reduce the dividends. In Q4, we kept paying dividends above our minimum dividend policy because, our balance sheet allows for it. We can see, as a result, we closed the year also with a low, very low net- debt- over- EBITDA in the last 12 months, below 0.3x. Moving to understand the main items between the Adjusted EBITDA and Net income for the quarter. If we see a breakdown of the Adjusted EBITDA of $208 million, almost in Borborema were the top performers, about $50 million in the quarter each. We highlight, of course, Borborema, considering it was only the first quarter of commercial production, and is almost our highest EBITDA, it shows all the potential that we have in this mine. Minosa and Aranzazu also coming very strong, at $48 million and $41 million respectively, Apoena delivering EBITDA of $22 million, and the MSCG, $10 million. MSCG also, I'd like to highlight for a couple of reasons. First, this was just one month, and one month that we didn't see yet any impact of any turnaround in terms of production and in terms of costs. With gold prices at much lower levels than we have today, and we already generated $10 million in a month for an investment for an acquisition that we paid $73 million. It shows the type of returns that we should expect for this acquisition. Moving to financial expenses, I mentioned already we had $82 million non-cash losses related to the gold, outstanding gold hedges. We also had $22 million realized losses related to derivatives that expired during the quarter. Income tax expenses increased compared to the previous quarters, basically, because our results from the operations also increased, so it's in the same proportion. On this quarter, we had no recurring other expenses, that's mostly related to provisions that we did on year-end, related to potential partial no recoverability of certain ET credits that we have mostly in Honduras and also in Brazil. With that, we see our net income of -$20 million. Bringing back the no cash items, mostly the realized losses with the derivatives, we come to a net income of $73 million. Now moving to understand the in detail, the change in the cash position during the last quarter. We see on the left side of the page, we started the quarter with about $350 million in cash. Here on this more left side page, we can see what's the cash flow, recurring free cash flow, which is the cash flow generated by the now the six mines in production, and not including any investment to expand our business. We see we generated $94 million, already deducting the realized losses with the gold derivatives. That cash was almost enough to pay for all the capital allocated to growth. The business in the last quarter, we invested $103 million, mainly the MSG acquisition and also expansion CapEx, the first steps in Almas, mainly here for the underground mine development and plant expansion. To the right side, more the financial-like items, highlighting, as I indicated before as well, $40 million dividend payments. Next page. Yeah. When we move to the year, the cash flow by the mines in production generated over $250 million in cash, which was more than enough to pay for all the investment in growth, and 2025 was one year that we invested significantly in growth. So we invested to Morro do Lima construction, the second year of Morro do Lima construction, the acquisition of MSCG, acquisition of Era Dorada, acquisition of Altamira shares, investment in exploration to increase our mineral reserves and resources. That was funded entirely funded by the cash flow, recurring free cash flow from the operations. To the right side of the more financial-like items, we highlight the cash we returned to our shareholders, mainly through dividends, $116 million, and the net proceeds we received from the last like IPO, $200 million. That brings our cash position close to $290 million at the end of the year. This is the last slide, then we open to questions. Thank you. We are going to start the question and answer session. For investors and analysts, if you wish to ask a question, please press the raise hand button. If your question has already been answered, you can leave the queue by clicking on put hand down. Please hold while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from Enrique Marquez with Goldman Sachs. Hey, everyone. Thanks so much for taking my question. Quickly on guidance, I mean, there's still a lot to be made during 2026, I just wanted to make sure here, what is already implied in this guidance? Because there are technical report updates coming up which should impact reserves and eventually grades, which might weigh on production, but at the same time, you have some processing capacity expansion expected for this year. I just wanted to confirm exactly and try to better understand what is already implied in this, in this 2026 guidance that you guys just released. Also, on a second topic, a lot of things going on. I think that's great. It would be also great if you guys can just help us map everything that is going on. Just any update on timing for Era Dorada or Matupá to be taken to the board to eventually increase the processing capacity for Almas? What is the timing for that? Just to confirm, is Almas expansion already board approved, the processing capacity? Lastly, just any timing for Aura to join the GDX index? Is there any prerequisite missing for that? That's it. Thank you so much. Thank you for the question, Enrique. Yes, as you mentioned, a lot of going on in Aura, and again, another year that we continue to prepare the company to reach over 600,000 ounces of production. We're going step by step, what you should expect. First question is, for the budget of this year, we are not considering old gold price. We're already using new gold price based in new cutoffs that we will update the market. There's this lag a little bit on the, what we forecast on the budget and what we will publish now by March. We are already reducing the average grade of some of the mines based on the lower cut-off and higher gold price, which is a good news, because we're gonna free ounces in terms of reserves for the long term and for overall, it generates NPV for the company. Although, in some cases might slightly be drive to a lower production. That's a part of the question that you made, that, I could answer. There are a few things that's going on in Aura. You also asked about Almas. It's already included on the budget. It's already included on the CapEx for us to expand the capacity and also to raise the tailings dam, to prepare the tailings dam for this new capacity, up to 3 million tons of the plant, already preparing this to receive higher grade material. As an underground, while underground is not totally developed, we'll put average and medium grade that's already on the stockpile, because the mine is working faster than the plant. We have some important stockpile to use on the higher capacity of the plant. While we don't wanna finish that, we should finish the year or early next year at 3 million tons per year at the plant. We have projects to go up to 4 million tons. That will depend on some more positive geological information that we are investing in the project. We should expect these 3 million tons already hired, approved, and should be already in full production by early next year or by the end of this year, while we have projects and we have ideas, and we have discussions to go up to 4 million tons. That will depend on more exploration results that we are conducting as we speak right now. On this, also, on this, for this year, Borborema, we are, as Kleber mentioned, we are increasing capacity of the filters. That will give us a possibility to go beyond the nominal capacity that we should reach along the second semester, while, again, we are also preparing this, doing engineering that's already approved in the board and doing now studies for water assessments to double the capacity. We would like to be able to approve this in the board by the end of this year, for the new capacity for Borborema. On MSG, is a year of turnaround. Although we are generating positive cash flows, we are not focusing on production, and we're not focusing on short-term gains. We are focused on building the right plan and the right structure, so that we can finish the year with a very good view that for the next years, we'll be able to produce above 80,000 ounces with below $2,000 of our all-in sustaining cash costs. That means that we are preparing the mine, we are doing underground development and advancing. If I remind the investors, one of the reasons that MSG lost productivity and lost production and the plant become idle, is that they are doing the Mine 6 is they lost productivity doing underground development, and they start doing top bottom. That increased dilution, that reduced the speed. That creates a lot of complexity. Now we need to do all the proper underground development in order to do from bottom to up. That means one year of a lot of underground development and preparing this so that we can do the right methodology underground, and then fulfill the capacity of the plant that will drive us to produce extra ounces and significantly reduce dilution, reduce also the all-in sustaining cash cost. The final question you made was? It was regarding the index, the GDX index. Yeah, Index, yes. Yeah. Just if there's any prerequisite missing. No, I think we are reaching, but we need to reach for two consecutive quarters. Each quarter you need to prove that your daily trading volume was higher on the last two. We believe we've been eligible for GDX, although It's not 100% sure because there is some analysis that the team do, but we believe that we'll be eligible to GDX by the second semester, between third to fourth quarter of this year. Great. Thank you so much. Our next question comes from Edgard de Souza with Itaú BBA. Hi, Rodrigo. Hi, Kleber. Natasha, thank you for the question. My first question regarding the CEO on the guidance. Prediction expectations came in slightly softer than what we were expecting, particular at Borborema. I wanted to understand, I don't know if Kleber is connected here, but maybe if not, for sure, you can help me, Rodrigo. How much of this lower production profile in Borborema is a direct consequence of incorporating material that was previously above the cutoff? At a broader portfolio level, how are you approaching cutoff optimization in the current gold price environment? To what extent are you trading near-term grade and free cash flow for longer life of mine and higher total value extraction? Let's put it this way. My second question, moving to the main positive news from the release, is regarding the expansion at Borborema and the road relocation. I wanted to understand the next step from here. What is the expected timeline for the physical relocation of the road? You mentioned that the capacity could reach around 4 million tons. How much of this incremental processing capacity could be gradually added in a brownfield scenario, similar to what you did in Almas? How much of the expansion would require a more significant CapEx, maybe a new ball mill? And how should we think about water availability as a constraint? And to which levels can you produce with the current water availability that you have, and for which levels this would require a more significant investments for water availability there? Those are my main questions. Thank you, guys. Okay, I will start, and then I think Kleber is here with us, he can finish. On the production for Borborema, mostly, the reduction in production comes from a lower grade that comes from a lower cutoff, right? That's one thing that we do in all, that actually, it's this mine that drove us to be here today, with a successful story. We don't take decisions to favor only short term. We think the company as a whole, what builds the best value, although sometimes hurts the short term. This example of Borborema is a very good example, because we know that we have lower production, but overall, as we will, should see, during the publications of the 20-F, we'll see an increase in resource and results. That means we are significantly increase NAV of the company, although that on the yearly, on this yearly basis, means slightly lower grades, which is translated to a lower production. On the CapEx, I'll let Kleber explain, but I'll give a overview of the plant. It takes probably two years in terms of construction to relocate the road, which is the same time that we will do our next plant expansion. The plant expansion will require a CapEx. The plant is not at 4 million tons. The plant was built for 2 million tons, flexible and prepared to receive new investments and then go to 4 million tons. I'll let Kleber walk you through more and what we are thinking about on this expansion. Is Kleber here, otherwise, or the mic is off? Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Good morning, everyone. Yeah, as Rodrigo comments, we, that this drop on grade is a positive things. In fact, it's much more are becoming economical right now with this new price. What we are doing right now can bring some impact in the short term, but this is a big benefit in the long term. We, in fact, we are preparing the mine for higher capacity or higher production, that we are doing the engineering the plant. In the CapEx, answer your question, it's basically build a new parallel plant. Now, what we are doing is, the bottleneck, the filter area, is the constraint that we have right now to increase capacity. We already approve it, we already hire all the service and construction, and we will build or we will implement the new filters in this year. We expect to be done in the beginning of the next semester of this year. In parallel, all the engineer to expand the plant, we don't have the total CapEx right now. We need to expand the CIL circuit, the mill circuit, and the crusher circuit also. It means that everything. It's prepared to expand, because we just need to connect it without impact the actual production. It's something that require CapEx to be done. Thanks. In the meanwhile, we are doing all the water assessments, there's ideas, there's a project also to do to increase the capacity to treat greywater from the city or receive greywater from other cities. There are few discussions going on right now, and it takes time, but we don't believe it's gonna be the issue. Great. Thank you. Our next question comes from Guilherme Cipis, with XP. Hi, guys. Good morning. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. I have two questions here on our side as well. My first one is on the reserves report. Could you guys share any key shifts, any takeaways from the reserve report? Also, if you have any shifts on geological interpretation and also on long-term assumption for gold prices as well. If you could guys share also news on the underground mining for Almas, Borborema plan expansion, and the increased reserves at Matupá. Any news on the updated reserves report? My second question is on capital allocation. Of course, you guys have a lot of projects going on, but we still see balance sheet room for, as gold prices are holding higher as well, we still see room for the acquisition. We'd like to understand, what are the priorities now, and if you guys are also looking for, acquiring other assets here in Brazil as well, and in Latin America as well. Thank you. Okay, well, thank you for the question. Unfortunately, we cannot disclose what will be on the AIF yet. That will be published by the end of March. As you mentioned, we are working on the Borborema new cut-off for the current mines that we have. That can affect some of the mines, and cannot affect in other mines, depending on the distribution of the grades, in that mine. Borborema, as I mentioned, has some sensitivity to this, so, it can be affected by a lower cut-off, than increase, which is already translated on the budget. We'll see, the already the grades, going down. As you mentioned, we are working on Matupá. We're doing analysis on Serrinhas, doing analysis also, in those that were Pezão and Pé Quente that we acquired, and perhaps some of those already be able to incorporate into the X1. We should expect also the new report, including a part of the resource and reserve of the X1 and also Pezão or Pé Quente. Underground, we continue to do underground development and also reaching the right level, we continue to intensify exploration. Although we've been having a very important and interesting interception that confirms the underground mine that takes more time, we should expect more towards the end of the year that we can consolidate all the information. We don't wanna waste time, that's why we're already doing all the underground development, because we believe that this will become a mine, and we don't wanna waste time doing all the studies while we develop the underground. In terms of M&A, as you mentioned, the company. It's a significantly increasing EBITDA and cash flows. If you take it back in the last two years, we doubled, what, every year we doubled the EBITDA, 2023 $136 million, then 2024, $270 million, 2025, now $540 million, with the last quarter of $210 million, with the gold price $4,000 in MSG, only one month, so you can already imply that we are significantly right on the running rate above the last year. That of course, although we've been able to. If you look what has happened to our in the last four years, we have the highest dividend yield in the world of our gold price. We acquired Borborema, we built Almas, we built Borborema, we acquired MSG, and yet we have a low leverage. That was with the gold price of $2,500 and $30,000. Now with the gold price at $5,200 with higher production. We should expect for the upcoming years, more than we've done in the last years, in terms of we'll be able to generate higher cash, pay more dividends. Now we have more cash also to do more acquisition. We want to continue to do acquisitions. We know very much how to get to beyond 600,000 ounces that we published last year, that by itself is gonna generate a lot of value to us. We know that the right multiple starts when you get closer to 1 million ounces. We wanna continue to pursue growth through M&As. We are America players, we don't feel we have the knowledge and expertise for the other continents, in the Americas, we like gold, we also like copper. We should expect from our acquisitions, either in gold also in copper, also in countries that we feel that has democracy, some institutional, strong institutional entities, that give us the minimum security to invest. We also like project that has, well, it's well developed in terms of geology, maybe needs further exploration, but just to convert resources into reserves, and then implement our projects that are ready, as we saw at brownfield, that we believe that's not perhaps the core of other companies and that they might sell. If we see an angle to buy them and reduce and generate value, that's what we see. Basically, what you should see for all, for the upcoming years is what we've done in the last years, with now higher production and higher gold price, higher cash flow, so more intensified. That's very clear. Thank you. Our next question comes from Marcelo Arazi with BTG. Hi, guys. Good morning. A few questions on my side as well. We can see that we are seeing a slightly wide range of production guidance than what we were used to. Can we say that is this related to a more conservative approach or, and a large number of assets, or it can be read as a sign of a more challenging or more hard to predict conditions? A second one on CapEx: Is this level of sustaining CapEx the new reality for the company, or the full year 2026 print is inflated by the turnaround project in MSG? Can this eventually impact the dividend distribution, given your policy of 20% of the EBITDA minus the sustaining CapEx? Just a final one, if I can, on the Guatemala CapEx, the guidance is already accounting for the early-stage investments, but with the eventual project approval, can we expect some CapEx revision for this year? Thank you, guys. Thank you, Marcelo, for the questions. I think, for this higher, obviously, sustaining cash costs and high CapEx, this is neither more challenging, neither more conservative. Actually, it's a good news. It's good news that the company is being able to buy MSG for $76 million in only one month without, as Kleber mentions, we have $10 million EBITDA. MSG structurally has a lower all-in sustaining cash costs. MSG structurally has a higher all-in sustaining cash costs and higher also sustaining CapEx, but that's how we generate returns. We put this asset into our consolidated basis. It affects negatively, but doesn't mean that it's a challenge. That actually, we see this as more as an opportunity, because during this year, we'll be able to do the proper work, we are very confident that for the upcoming years, we will see that we'll be able to reach above 80,000 ounces and below $2,000 of our all-in sustaining cash costs. Nevertheless, in a single month, we generate $10 million without any new, any turnaround, so. The other increase that we have, that comes from positive news, also again. Almas, we've seen a very strong opportunity to increase capacity, so that increase also our CapEx. Another factor that increased the CapEx is Era Dorada, because we felt then we got the license that this, the former company could not get for several years. We already started early works. Going to the final questions that you made, it is not on the CapEx, the full construction of Era Dorada. As we go to the board and as we approve the full construction of Era Dorada, this is when we then we'll add a new CapEx for the project. As we published already, last year, the updated feasibility study, the CapEx of this project is close to $380 million. Of course, it doesn't happen in a full year. Actually, most of the CapEx goes towards the end of the investments. If we approve in the board, then we will incorporate on our guidance this year. Again, the higher CapEx that you see in this year is way more as an opportunity rather than a challenge. Thank you, Rodrigo. Just a quick follow-up. Could this impact the dividend distribution, given your policy? We've been able to do everything. Our policy is 20% of the EBITDA minus recurring CapEx. Actually, we've been able to pay 50%-60% above the policy, we see no reason that will affect this for the upcoming years. Except that there's some major acquisition that we believe that is a super high return, super high value added, perhaps we go to the policy. We should expect the policy or above the policy for the upcoming quarters. Thank you. Our next question comes from Lawson Winder with Bank of America. Okay, thank you very much, operator. Hello, Rodrigo and team. Good morning, and thank you for the update. Could I actually start by asking maybe a bit of an expanded question on the index inclusion? There are US indices for which Aura would technically qualify, like some of the Russell, and are even much more widely followed than the Gold Index. I mean, is there any discussion of potential inclusion or potential inclusion in the Russell on the horizon? We are monitoring, and we have a plan this year to be included in all the indices that we can fulfill. We already, we're included in about 30 different indexes. As you mentioned, I think we have way more opportunity to reach those major index funds that can not only helps with the pricing on the multiple, but we also increase significantly our delivery volume. Definitely is in our agenda. Okay, fantastic. On Borborema, could you just confirm that the recoveries in Q1 2026 to date are now hitting design capacities? If not, what's left and sort of in what quarter should we think about that hitting the design recovery rates? Kleber, you wanna answer this? We are at the design already. Yeah, we are at the design, it's not a issue. In fact, to run the plant in the capacity that was designed it isn't being an issue for us. The difference in production is mainly related to the grades that we are feeding, which is the strategy to expand a bit with these new reserves and new cutoffs. Just to in a continue the answer, Lawson, that was a good question. The mill is running super well. Actually, we see room, the mill to run even above capacity. CIL, thanks the same. That's why Kleber mentioned that where we have now, although we are already at a nominal capacity, the filters are the bottleneck. Once we do this investment, the filters, then we can go beyond nominal capacity because everything else is running super well. Okay. If I could ask about Matupá from both the point of view of CapEx and annual production. One, you guys have been investing a fair bit in exploration into Matupá. Does that have any implications for what your anticipated annual production rates will be? Like, I mean, at least for example, at the investor day, you highlighted 55,000 ounces a year from that asset. Conversely, I mean, if that's the case, what are we looking at in terms of a magnitude or potential increase in upfront CapEx for Matupá? Matupá, I think, we continue to have this view of 55,000 ounces. We are not changing the nominal capacity of the plant. What we are doing now is invest in exploration to expand the resource and reserves. This product has a resource of 400,000 ounces, slight below in terms of reserves, but we say here and with also our person, we see a significantly room to expand our resource and reserves, which then, we'll feel, that's the right time to start the construction. As we did with Almas, we prefer to build this project, prepare the plant, to be flexible and expand, because we know that we will even continue to expand resource and reserves beyond what we have today, beyond what we will publish in the AIF, so that then we can then increase the plant. Understanding that if we change too much the design of the plant as of today, even though we might see an opportunity, it's a whole different new environmental license process. We prefer to respect what is in the license environmental, and then during the years, talk to the agents and then see opportunities to do amendments and then increase gradually the plant. Okay, fantastic. If I could ask one more question, just on Apoena. I mean, that mine continues to impress. You guys are, you know, planning to mine much higher grades than we had modeled at that asset in 2026. Are these higher grades now sustainable into, 2027? I think, yes, we should reach higher grades by the second semester, and then will last towards a couple of years. It will be maintained. I think we believe that we can put this mine into 50,000 ounces - 60,000 ounces of production on the running rate after the second semester of this year. If not go beyond, depending on some of other exploration that we are doing at the mine. It's a difficult mine. All right. Full of potential. Yeah, you guys have done a great job operating it. Thank you. Well done. Thank you very much for taking the questions. Thank you. Our next question comes from Matheus Moreira with Bradesco. Hi, Rodrigo, Kleber, Natasha, thank you for taking my questions. My first question is on Almas. I would like to better understand the rationale behind the production guidance for the mine. I mean, considering the ongoing plant expansion and the fact that the mine is already operating at an annualized one rate above the published guidance, the numbers appear somewhat conservative to us. Are there maybe any operational bottlenecks or specific factors that you have already identified that could justify this more cautious approach? That's my first question. My second question on M&As, I would like to explore a little bit more on this topic. Within our capital allocation framework, and considering that the company is now operating at a different level of cash generation than in the past, what type of assets, in terms of size, makes sense for the company today? If possible, could you comment on geographic preferences? You've already touched on this a little bit earlier, but in the past, you mentioned that potential expansion into North America. Does that still make sense strategically? Thank you. Thank you. In Almas, we are operating at 2 million tons, we will go through expansion and reach 3 million tons by the end of the year. This is a process that is gonna happen during the year. Today we are still yet below what we expect to be until the end of the year. That is also reflected on the production. Almas also, first year started with a higher grade, there is lower grades coming in now. During this year, we will add higher grades again when we have the underground coming in. We should expect Almas for the next year after underground, continue to increase production together with the higher capacity. If we have positive results on the exploration, then we can even expand further to 4 million tons, and then we'll see another step up in exploration. Almas, I think you should see that some conservative scenario during this year, but gradually continue to grow while we continue to expand capacity, and then access higher grades when the underground mine come online. In terms of projects, I think we wanna build the way to reach 2 million ounces. I think that's where companies start to become relevant and then also start to get a fair multiple. We know very much how to get to 600,000 ounces, so to go beyond this, we will need a few acquisitions. Of course, as you mentioned, that we are growing, and we have a larger balance sheet, and we have a larger, also, a higher production, so that a meaningful, more meaningful acquisitions should be coming online. Again, there's the higher the production, the higher the acquisition, is the higher also the CapEx. We will balance the internal rate of returns where the right size, 80,000, 100,000, 150. We saw sometimes even above 150, but that will really depends on the return we see and what the angle for Aura to generate the value, right? It's Americas, as I mentioned, and you asked about North America. I think it's intuitive to think that down the road, Aura will expand into North America, but yet we feel that our multiple is too discounted. We believe that in North America, there's always, probably there's always be a higher multiple compared to the players in Latin America in general. However, cannot be that high gap. We need to narrow this gap. We have a homework to do first, to narrow this gap first, to then be able to do a creative acquisition and not a dilutive acquisition for our shareholders. Perfect. If something shows up that we believe that it's creative for shareholders, we will do. We look, and we are ready, and that's part of the strategy. Perfect, Rodrigo. That's very helpful. Thank you. Our next question comes from Tathiane Candini with JP Morgan. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for taking my questions. I think most of them were already replied. I would just like to explore maybe a little bit two more. The first one, again, you already explored a little bit of this is regarding the cost of MSG. I know that, like, more long term for 2027 is to reach lower costs. I would just like to understand a little bit of the pipeline for this. Like, what are the plans for reach those guidance? If there is, like, any type of hurdle that you imagine that you can reach. The second one is regarding the CapEx of Era Dorada, which again, you already explored a little bit, but I'd just like to understand, how is the pipeline for gathering this approved, for what I understood it this year? This is like a 22- month plan. Do you have any, like, deadlines, if it's not approved by any type of months, this could, like, have a little bit of an impact on 2028 production? Just trying to have a little bit more clarity on the months going forward. Thanks for having my questions. For Era Dorada, we are now analyzing our internal analysis. We conduct, during the last year, over 1,000 hours of dialogue with community leaders and community representatives. We brought some of the leaders also to visit our operations. There was a very intense work on socializing this project. We moved back to underground, which drew attention from also national authorities, with that, they understood that was a positive move. That's why that the result of this was the license to initiate the groundwork. I think we feel now even more and more confident to go to full production. It's our full construction, we should expect this decision between first and second quarter this year. That's how we are thinking. It's a moving part, right? It's, as you mentioned, 22 months of construction, and depending on the dates that we started, it will affect the final production, for sure. The first question you mentioned was, I forgot, is. Regarding the MSG cost. Yeah. like, what is the plan to reach the guidance for a lower cost by 2027? Well, the plan is already under execution. We know very much how to improve efficiency. We know very much how to decrease the cost. We are now detailing and executing this plan as we speak. As I mentioned, we need to do a significant underground development because the mine today is connected to the plant, any problem at the mine means that the plant is gonna receive the ore. That's why we've been seeing the last a few years, a decrease on the plant production. It's becoming idle. It has 20%, 30%, 35%, even 40% of idle capacity at the plant because the mine cannot fulfill. In order to accelerate the production of the mine, we need one year of underground development to proper prepare the stopes, proper do bottom-up approach. We have prepared the mine also to receive the veins are 1.2 m and they'll be mining at 1.80 m. At 2 m now, we wanna mine at the narrow, at 1.5 m, prepare the mine for 1.5 m, which means lower dilution, higher average grade. All of those strategies already being implemented, but we need time. We need towards the end of the year to really see that the mine will be prepared to produce at its full capacity. The hurdle rate, as you mentioned, as we mentioned, we believe that we can prepare this for the medium long term to be able to produce above 80,000 ounces per year at, obviously, sustaining cash costs of $2,000 or below. Super clear. Thanks. Please hold while we pull for questions. The Q&A section is over. We would like to hand the floor back to Rodrigo Barbosa for the company's final remarks. Again, thank you for the opportunity. I'm super proud, again, to be diligently executing on our strategy. Diligently executing on implementing greenfield projects. We built Almas on time, on budget, Borborema on time, on budget, and few others now, and Era Dorada now prepared to go and hopefully during the first quarter, second quarter, approve to implement. Also, diligent execution on increasing resource and reserves. We just added 670,000 ounces of reserves, one project that's already de-risked, already invested the CapEx, already generating cash flows, that will give not only an opportunity to increase the NAV, but we'll also be able to increase production. While we continue to invest in exploration, as we mentioned, on Matupá, underground Almas, and also Borborema has also potential to significant increase. Diligently executing, also increasing resource and reserve of the company. Third, also diligently executing on acquisitions. We just acquired MSG, now closed in December. We also addressed the daily trading volume, now trading $100 million per day, while we've been able to pay dividends. The higher CapEx and the sustaining CapEx we see today, as I mentioned, is not a challenge, it's an opportunity. We increased this because the company is growing. We increased this because we see opportunities to further expand the plants. We increased this because we see an opportunity to buy one asset that has a significant potential to expand capacity in terms of MSG, in terms of production, and then reduce the cost. Overall, in terms of results, again, super proud. If you take the EBITDA from 2023, you double to 2024. We doubled again to 2025. If you take the EBITDA of last quarter with the gold price at $4,000, now you use $5,200 plus higher production, plus higher production in MSG on the full quarter, you'll see that we are already on the running rate also, going towards maybe perhaps even to double or even more during this year. Very much on track in what we promised to the market, delivering results, delivering resource and reserves, delivering strategic agenda, and also strong dividends. I thank you all. Hopefully, down the road, we have a new calls with the new quarter. Again, between first or second quarter this year, take a look on Era Dorada, and see if we feel ready to go to the Board and approve. Thank you. Our conference is now closed. We thank you for your participation and wish you a nice day.
