TSX:ORV
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) (the “Company” or “Orvana”) is happy to document manufacturing and exploration updates for the fourth quarter of fiscal yr 2025 (“This fall FY2025) finishing September 30, 2025 from Orovalle (Spain).
Highlights
- This fall FY2025 Manufacturing: 7,587 gold similar oz. (6,317 gold oz., 0.8 million copper kilos and 24,279 silver oz.).
- FY2025 Manufacturing: 35,705 gold similar oz. (29,276 gold oz., 3.6 million copper kilos and 115,466 silver oz.).
- This fall FY2025 Exploration: 2,652 m of Infill and Brownfield drilling, with key intercepts in Branch A2 as follows:
- 18.75 g/t gold over 8.7 m
- 14.68 g/t gold over 9.0 m
- 11.02 g/t gold over 16.8 m
- 9.36 g/t gold over 26.7 m
Following the sturdy exploration proceed and stable operations at Orovalle, control equipped an replace at the Corporate’s strategic priorities at Orovalle. Juan Gavidia, CEO of Orvana, commented, “Encouraging drilling results at El Valle Boinás during the quarter support the ongoing brownfield program, which aims to increase resource inventory and replace mined reserves. Our objective remains to manage mineral resources efficiently to support mine life extension, subject to ongoing geological and operational assessments”.
“This quarter marked a key milestone: the ramp-up of operations at Carlés. In 2026, with both El Valle Boinás and Carlés operating in parallel, we aim to reduce operational risk associated with ore extraction by having access to ore from two independent deposits “, he added.
Orovalle – This fall FY2025 Manufacturing Effects
- The mill processed roughly 101,140 sun-baked tonnes all through This fall FY2025, 13% not up to the prior quarter on account of deliberate summer season repairs shutdowns. At fiscal year-end, 12,096 rainy tonnes had been in stockpiles, which can be processed all through the primary quarter of fiscal 2026.
- 6,317 gold oz. produced in This fall FY2025, 26% not up to the former quarter basically because of 13% decrease tonnes milled and 12% decrease gold grade, principally due to processing ore sourced from other gardens of the El Valle Boinás mine.
- 0.8 million copper kilos produced in This fall FY2025, 13% not up to the former quarter principally because of decrease tonnes processed.
Orovalle –FY2025 Manufacturing Effects
- Gold manufacturing of 29,276 oz. all through the fiscal yr 2025 used to be roughly 2% underneath the decrease finish of the fiscal yr 2025 manufacturing steering of 30,000 to 31,000 oz.. The variance basically displays the focus of stope ore extraction within the closing part of September, which restricted in-month processing capability. The fabric used to be subsequently stockpiled and is scheduled for milling in fiscal 2026.
- Copper manufacturing of three.6 million kilos all through the fiscal yr 2025 met the 2025 manufacturing steering of three,500 to three,700 Okay lbs.

Orovalle – This fall FY2025 Drilling Replace
The El Valle Boinás program left-overs interested in oxide gardens, with the objective to increase the A2 mineralization southward. Drilling returned more than one high-grade intercepts between 160 m.a.s.l. and 360 m.a.s.l. outdoor of the in the past outlined useful resource boundary, supporting the objective of increasing sources. See Determine 1 underneath for drilling effects performed in This fall alongside a longitudinal category.
A complete of one,920 m had been drilled in A2 throughout 8 drill holes, effectively extending the mineralized construction over a 40 m hit field and keeping up a vertical intensity of 120 m.
Mineralization is targeted inside bands, with variable thickness, between 5-10 m, of altered skarn and semi-jasperoid breccias, preferentially alongside fractures N30ºE/35SE throughout the limestone; due to this fact, the intrusion of porphyry dikes ended in silicification and mineral enrichment of those bands. The mineralized bands are dipping against the southeast, with possible for additional extension in that route.
Determine 2 items a plan view of the 2 maximum lately drilled divisions: A–A’, whose effects had been disclosed within the January 16, 2025 press reduce, and B–B’ (see Determine 1). The determine illustrates that the oxide buildings stay clear to the south.
The drilling program for the primary quarter of fiscal 2026 (“Q1 FY2026”) is interested in additional defining and increasing the mineral possible of those buildings to the south.
On the Ortosa-Godan Undertaking, a complete of 493 metres had been drilled all through the quarter, finishing the 3rd drill hollow of the FY2025 marketing campaign. Drill core pattern analyses are lately underway and are anticipated to be finished all through Q1 FY2026. According to the effects received, the upcoming steps can be outlined.

Greenfield drill hollow samples had been despatched to an exterior laboratory (ALS Laboratory) for analyses. Infill and brownfield drill holes samples had been analyzed in Orovalle’s Laboratory.
Pattern preparation used to be performed on the El Valle facility. All diamond core samples were ready the usage of refer to process, as soon as fracture:
The core samples are parched at a temperature of 105ºC and after overwhelmed via a jaw crusher to 70%<6 mm. The coarse-crushed pattern is additional lowered to 70%<425 microns the usage of an LM5 bowl-and-puck pulverizer. An Essa rotary splitter is old to tug a 450 g to 550 g sub-sample of every fracture for pulverizing. The excess disclaim portion is bagged and saved. The pattern is lowered by way of 85% to a nominal -200 mesh the usage of an LM2 bowl-and-puck pulverizer. 150 g sub-samples are fracture the usage of a unique vertical-sided scoop to shorten channels in the course of the pattern which has been unfold right into a pancake on a sampling mat. Samples are after despatched to the laboratory for gold and bottom steel research. Leftover pulp is bagged and saved. Nearest pattern preparation, 30g samples are analyzed for Au by way of fireplace assay with an atomic absorption.
