Canadian miner Aura Minerals has priced its 8.1 million common shares at $24.25 per share for a US initial public offering (IPO).
The company expects to raise $196.4m from the offering, as reported by Reuters.
The net proceeds will be allocated to initiatives to strengthen its business: the acquisition of Mineração Serra Grande (MSG), advancing development projects such as Era Dorada and Matupá, and expanding mineral reserves through exploration.
The company has been approved to transfer its principal listing to the Nasdaq Global Select Market, a move expected to enhance the liquidity of its shares and diversify its investor base.
In early July 2025, the company stated that it was preparing to list its shares on the Nasdaq.
Underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an extra 1.2 million shares at the offering price, minus discounts and commissions.
Global coordinators for the offering are BofA Securities and Goldman Sachs, with BTG Pactual and Itaú BBA as joint bookrunners.
Co-managers are Bradesco BBI, National Bank of Canada Financial Markets, RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank.
Aura has clarified that shareholders' preemptive rights are excluded as per the company's regulations. No preemptive rights will be granted to Brazilian Depositary Receipts holders concerning the public offering.
The offering is not considered a public offering in Brazil under local securities laws and regulations.
In June 2025, AngloGold Ashanti reached an agreement to sell its stake in the MSG mine in Goiás, Brazil, to Aura Minerals for $76m (R1.36bn) cash deal.
Aura's portfolio currently comprises five active mining operations: the Minosa gold mine in Honduras, the Almas, Apoena, and Borborema gold mines in Brazil, and the Aranzazu mine in Mexico.
In addition to these producing assets, the company holds the Era Dorada gold project in Guatemala and the Tolda Fria gold project in Colombia. Its Brazilian assets are the Matupá, São Francisco project and the Carajás copper projects.

European Firms Embrace Google Cloud Ecosystem

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--European enterprises are rapidly advancing cloud strategies, often using AI tools and services from the expanding Google Cloud ecosystem, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. European enterprises are adopting agentic AI technologies to extend their capacity to meet the demands of increasingly complex processes. This strategy positions them for enhanced growth opportunities and innovation. Share The 2025 ISG Provider Lens ® Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem report for Europe finds that AI capabilities are helping enterprises use the cloud to enhance operational efficiency and strategic decision-making. For many companies, the AI-powered tools and services in Google Cloud's broad technology suite, especially agentic AI offerings, play a major role in these efforts. 'European enterprises are adopting agentic AI technologies to extend their capacity to meet the demands of increasingly complex processes,' said Dorotea Baljević, director and EMEA industrial AI lead at ISG. 'This strategy positions them for enhanced growth opportunities and innovation.' The focus on using agentic AI to optimize key software development tasks, including code generation and testing, is increasing among European enterprises, the report says. Businesses are leveraging agentic AI for efficient inventory management and personalized product recommendations, driving overall business growth and operational excellence across various industries. There is a growing emphasis on responsible AI in Europe to reduce bias and enhance data security, ISG says. Google Cloud ecosystem providers are supporting these efforts by strengthening AI practices and cybersecurity measures, enabling businesses to confidently navigate the decision-making functions of AI systems while protecting sensitive information across organizational boundaries. This focus ensures ethical AI integration and protects enterprise data against emerging security threats. European enterprises are also adopting data modernization strategies to ensure high-quality, accessible data, which is crucial for agentic AI success, the report says. By migrating legacy data to cloud platforms, businesses gain access to tools that can improve insights and decision-making. Google Cloud ecosystem providers offer expertise in integrating advanced data management, analytics and AI into unified platforms, allowing enterprises to streamline operations and enhance business intelligence. Demand for cloud sovereignty solutions is surging in Europe as enterprises seek to comply with stringent privacy regulations and maintain control over their data systems, ISG says. Enterprises are implementing isolated servers in cloud data centers to address geopolitical uncertainties. Google Cloud ecosystem providers support these efforts by delivering services that ensure independent management of cloud environments, which enhances data security. 'Enterprises are adopting AI and data strategies to enhance productivity while ensuring security and compliance,' said Mark Purdy, principal analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and the lead author of the report. 'These initiatives foster growth and operational resilience.' The report also explores other European cloud trends, including the growing adoption of hybrid and multicloud architectures for enhanced flexibility and security and an increasing focus on FinOps for cloud cost optimization and strategic financial management.

US Trade Talk Delays Jolt South Korean Leader's Honeymoon Phase

(Bloomberg) -- Less than two months into his presidency, South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung is facing an early diplomatic and economic test, as his top negotiators struggle to make headway in trade talks with the US before higher levies kick in next week. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom South Korean negotiators faced a series of canceled meetings this week, a setback in their push to finalize a trade deal ahead of the looming Aug. 1 deadline, when across-the-board tariffs on US imports of Korean goods are set to rise to 25% from 10%. While some meetings may be rescheduled in the coming days, the delays stand in stark contrast to the progress made by countries like Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, all of which have secured agreements that helped them avoid the worst-case tariff scenarios. Lee is enjoying strong support on hopes for an economic recovery after months of political turmoil sparked by the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol. But he needs a breakthrough in trade negotiations to shield Korea's export-reliant economy. In 2024, overseas shipments were equivalent to more than 40% of South Korea's GDP, making the stakes especially high. The back-to-back, last-minute cancellations come at a precarious moment. South Korea's National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac said the talks are at their 'final stages' and a 'critical juncture,' but he was unable to meet with his US counterpart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a four-day visit to Washington that concluded Thursday. Wi said he made a planned visit to the White House, but Rubio was called away at the last minute after receiving an 'urgent call' from Trump. The two officials spoke by phone instead. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent canceled a scheduled meeting with South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol, just hours before Koo was due to board a plane to the US. Bessent cited a scheduling conflict. Adding urgency is the freshly signed US–Japan trade agreement this week, which Trump has hailed as a 'great deal for everybody.' Under the agreement, the US will impose 15% tariffs on most imports of goods from Japan, including automobiles, in exchange for Tokyo creating a $550 billion fund to make investments in the US. 'You know the Koreans also like the Europeans, they very very much want to make a deal,' Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, said on CNBC on Thursday. 'I mean you could hear the expletives out of Korea when they read the Japanese deal because the Koreans and the Japanese they stare at each other.' What Bloomberg Economics Says... 'With US President Donald Trump striking a 'massive Deal with Japan,' the task for South Korea now is to ensure its automakers don't get a raw deal that puts them at a competitive disadvantage to Japanese rivals.' — Hyosung Kwon, economist Click here to see full report Despite the setback, South Korean officials are working to keep the momentum alive, focusing on meetings with Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. After a meeting on Thursday, Lutnick and South Korean Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan reaffirmed their commitment to pursue a mutually beneficial agreement ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline, Kim's office said. The more talks drag on, the more people question the capability of the negotiators. But Rintaro Nishimura, a Tokyo-based associate with strategic advisory firm the Asia Group, said the US trading partners are dealing with a 'very challenging negotiation with three different people who have three different kinds of interests at play.' 'I don't think the US side had one singular idea in terms of what they wanted,' he said, referring to the Japan deal. 'And then Trump would just come in at some point and then say something else.'

BofA's Hartnett Renews Warnings Around Bubble Risks for Stocks

(Bloomberg) -- The risk of a bubble in stock markets is rising as monetary policy loosens alongside an easing in financial regulation, according to Bank of America Corp. strategists. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom The team led by Michael Hartnett said the world policy rate has fallen to 4.4% from 4.8% in the past year as central banks in the US, UK, Europe and China slashed borrowing costs. The rate is forecast to drop further to 3.9% in the coming 12 months, he said. At the same time, policymakers are considering regulatory changes to boost the share of retail investors in the US. 'Bigger retail, bigger liquidity, bigger volatility, bigger bubble,' Hartnett wrote in a note. The strategist correctly forecast that international stocks would outperform the US this year. He had warned in December that equities were beginning to look frothy after a strong rally in 2024. The S&P 500 Index sank as much as 18% after he issued that call, before rebounding in early April. Hartnett said again in June that stocks could end up in a bubble on the back of expected rate cuts. US stocks have rallied to record highs on optimism around resilient economic growth and corporate earnings even in the face of higher tariffs. Still, the benchmark S&P 500 is trailing international peers this year. Some market forecasters such as Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson have said there's reason to remain bullish on stocks given positive earnings momentum, robust operating leverage and cash tax savings. However, strategists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and UBS Group AG have warned the market may be getting too complacent about lingering trade risks. Focus next week will be on the Federal Reserve's policy meeting for clues on the path of rate cuts. --With assistance from Michael Msika.
