Orvana Announces US$25 Million Prepayment and Offtake Agreements with Trafigura

Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) announces that its Bolivian subsidiary, Empresa Minera Paitití, S.A. has closed a US$25 million secured prepayment facility and entered into offtake agreements with Trafigura Pte. Ltd. for copper cathodes and doré bars, to be produced from the Don Mario Operation, in Bolivia.

Proceeds from the Prepayment Facility will fully fund the remaining capital required to complete the Don Mario plant expansion. As of the end of October 2025, 69% of the forecasted project CAPEX has been disbursed. Construction is on track for completion by year–end, with commissioning and start–up expected in early 2026. EMIPA is currently conducting on-site pilot testing to finalize recovery estimates; updated production and cost guidance will be provided once testing is complete.

 

Juan Gavidia, CEO of Orvana, stated:

“Securing this prepayment facility and offtake arrangement with Trafigura is a significant milestone in the restart of Don Mario. The financing allows us to complete plant construction and provides marketing certainty for our copper cathode and doré production.”

 

Transaction Highlights

  • Prepayment facility – Trafigura will provide US$25 million to EMIPA to fund completion of the expansion of the Don Mario processing plant. The loan bears interest at SOFR + 8 % per annum, has a 13–month term including a 7–month interest–only period, and is repayable in equal monthly instalments over six months. EMIPA’s ordinary shares and certain other assets are pledged as security, and customary covenants restrict certain distributions while the facility is outstanding.
  • Offtake agreements – EMIPA has agreed to sell 100% of the life–of–mine production of copper cathodes and doré bars produced from its Don Mario oxide stockpile to Trafigura. Pricing will be based on reference to the London Metal Exchange and the London Bullion Market Association.

Detailed information on the Don Mario oxides stockpile and related mineral reserves can be found in the Don Mario Operation NI 43–101 Technical Report dated March 28, 2022, available under Orvana’s profile on SEDAR+.
