"% of total stake" is the shares in an event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings are not confirmed, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Common questions

Is the Aura Minerals Inc. CEO selling stock?

Yes. Rodrigo Barbosa sold 130K shares ($10.4M) since March 18, 2026, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Aura Minerals Inc. insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 13% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 87% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Aura Minerals Inc. insiders buying?

Yes. 1 officer or director reported 8 purchases since March 18, 2026 (Form 4 code P; rows the filings describe as reinvested dividends, plan purchases, private deals or moves into the person's own trust are not counted).

What explains the selling$165M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Taxes

69,616 shares ($6.8M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Sources and methodology81 filings on record, 81 filed since March 18, 2026, and how we read them

All 81 Forms 3, 4 and 5 on record for Aura Minerals Inc. (SEC CIK 1468642), filed from Mar 18, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026; 81 of them were filed in the 12 months this page covers, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 16, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
