Magna Mining Inc. (TSX-V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) is pleased to report second quarter 2025 operating and financial results.
Highlights
Jason Jessup, CEO, commented, “Since we acquired the McCreedy West Mine on February 28, 2025, we have implemented multiple mine optimization initiatives and invested substantial capital in equipment and underground development to improve the operation. During the quarter we increased our staff and workforce, made management changes and realized a material increase in the amount of daily development completed at the mine. Throughout Q2, we started to see evidence of these operational improvements, with month over month increases in the amount of payable copper-equivalent pounds as well as improved grades within the operation. More importantly, we are consistently improving on the productivity of our development crews, which will lead to more workplaces in the mine and better flexibility in our mine plan. The second quarter, and the remainder of 2025, is focused ensuring the mine is in a strong position for 2026 production. I am pleased with the results to date and look forward to building this operation into a long-life, sustainable producer that generates free cash flow.”
