This presentation is subject to change without notice and does not purport to be comprehensive or contain all the information necessary to evaluate the subject matter discussed herein. Accordingly, this document should not form the basis of, and should not be relied upon in connection with, any investment in Aura Minerals Inc. (the “Company”). This document is provided for general informational purposes only.  The data included in this presentation regarding industry size, trends and prices are based on a variety of sources, third party studies and surveys, industry and general publications and our knowledge and experience in the industry in which we operate. While we believe such data to be accurate as of the date hereof, this information may prove to be inaccurate. As a result, you should be aware that industry data included in this presentation, and estimates and beliefs based on that data, may not be reliable. We have not independently verified the industry data included in this offering memorandum and cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness.

Forward-Looking Information. Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, including any information as to our strategy, projects, plans or future financial or operating performance, constitutes "forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe”, "expect", “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intend”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold and copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel and electricity); changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capital projects; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; the impact of inflation; fluctuations in the currency markets; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risk of loss due to acts of war, terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates and other operating currencies; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; litigation; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the company; our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; employee relations; availability and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labor. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion, copper cathode or gold/copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Annual Information Form on file with the Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements. The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Technical Information. Scientific or technical information contained herein was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), based on the technical reports set forth in Appendix I and other information filed by the Company with the Canadian securities regulators, which include more detailed information with respect to the Company’s properties, including the dates of such reports and the estimates included therein, details of quality and grade of each mineral reserve or mineral resource, details of the key assumptions, methods and parameters used in the reserve and resource estimates and other economic projections and a general discussion of the extent to which the resource estimates and the other estimates and projections included in the reports may be materially affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. For more detailed information regarding the Company and its mineral properties, you should refer to the Company’s independent technical reports set forth in Appendix I and other filings with the Canadian securities regulators, which are available at www.sedar.com.

Aranzazu: Expansion and Upgrade of Flagship Copper Asset

TSX: ORA 10

Transformation of Aranzazu is ongoing, certain items are on hold pending completion of the financing

PEA published in August 2012 outlined key improvements Installation of roaster to reduce arsenic content in

concentrate Increase capacity from 2,600 tpd to 4,000 tpd

Expansion capacity now fixed at 4,500 tpd by basic engineering (80% complete)

Roaster delivery is currently on hold pending completion of financing

$113mm in required capital expenditures: 36% allocated to mine development, 30% has been

spent and tracking budgeted metrics 34% allocated to plant expansion of which 49% has

been contracted at fixed price Full benefit of these improvements will approximately double

1. The Measured and Indicated mineral resource was converted to mineral reserves based on $3.00/lb copper and $1,250/oz gold prices, 84% recovery for copper and 65% gold recovery within the ultimate pit design above an economic NSR cut-off of $7.45/t. The resources are factored by planned mining dilution and ore losses to define the reserves. 2. Above a NSR cut-off of $7.45 / tonne and inside the designed ultimate pit.3. Includes 1,745k tonnes of additional low grade material as dilution.4. Numbers may not add due to rounding.Although the Company believes the oxide and magnetite asset has potential economic value, it is not included in the reserve calculations.
