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.”
