Orvana Minerals Corp. Advances Exploration at Orovalle Project in Spain
Orvana Minerals Corp. announces promising exploration results from its Orovalle project in Spain, where its Third Quarter FY2025 drilling program seeks to convert inferred resources into measured and indicated resources. The company's focus on skarn mineralization in the Boinás East area leads to significant findings, with 1,561 meters of drilling revealing narrow skarn mineralization in the western section of the orebody, specifically at levels 100 and 200. These results will be integrated into the mine plan, enhancing the project’s resource base. This strategic approach not only bolsters the company’s operational framework but also sets the stage for improved resource definitions, crucial for informing future mining activities.
In addition to the Boinás East area, Orvana completes 1,192 meters of drilling in Boinás South, refining mineral definitions around stope designs and verifying orebody geometry. This meticulous effort aims to enhance the accuracy of the mine layout, ensuring efficient extraction and operational effectiveness. A minor drilling initiative in Area 208 is also underway, with plans for continuation into the fourth quarter. The upcoming drilling efforts will target new resources in oxide areas, further converting inferred resources, particularly in Area 208 and E2, demonstrating Orvana's commitment to expanding its resource portfolio.
Orvana is also evaluating the Ortosa-Godan Project, located three kilometers northwest of the Carlés mine, where preliminary drilling in FY2024 has indicated promising mineralization. The exploration targets the Godán area, focusing on the intersection of intrusive and sedimentary rocks. The ongoing FY2025 drilling aims to extend the definition of skarn mineralization at greater depths, with the potential for the Godán mineralization to connect with the Carlés skarn. These efforts reflect Orvana's proactive strategy in identifying and developing new resource opportunities, positioning the company favorably in the competitive landscape of the mining sector.
In addition to these exploration initiatives, Orvana Minerals Corp. releases its operating results for the third quarter and year-to-date ending June 30, 2025. The report highlights a notable increase in gold and copper production, achieving 25,000 ounces of gold and 4 million pounds of copper for the quarter, marking a year-over-year increase of 15% and 10%, respectively. These results underscore Orvana's operational efficiency and commitment to sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact while enhancing productivity.
Looking ahead, Orvana Minerals aims to maintain its growth trajectory through continued investment in exploration and optimization of resource recovery across its mining sites. The positive exploration results not only reinforce the company’s operational excellence but also signal a robust commitment to strategic growth in the mining industry.
