Orvana Minerals' EMIPA Produces First Gold-Silver Doré Bar in Bolivia
Empresa Minera Paitití (EMIPA), a subsidiary of Orvana Minerals Corp, has produced its first gold-silver doré bar at the Don Mario site in Bolivia. This marks progress following earlier suspension due to depleted mineral reserves and subsequent focus on processing oxide stockpiles from prior mining operations. The company is now working toward increasing throughput and optimizing metallurgical performance as part of a broader plan that includes expanding production capabilities for copper cathodes and upgrading gold-silver recovery circuits at the Don Mario plant. Orvana CEO Juan Gavidia confirmed that current results align with engineering expectations, emphasizing ongoing efforts to ramp up operations safely. Orvana also owns other assets including the Orovalle mine in Spain and Taguas property in Argentina, where it produces gold, copper, and silver.
