ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, Dec. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aura Minerals Inc. (“Aura” or the “Company”) (TSX:ORA) announced today that on November 25, 2019, in compliance with a court order, local authorities seized the equipment of Incobe, the main contractor at the Company’s San Andres mine in Honduras.
