Orvana Minerals Corp. (ORV) has confirmed the resolution of recent transportation disruptions in Bolivia that previously hindered its operations. The company reported that road blockades in the country have cleared, allowing supply chains to return to normal conditions. Consequently, the firm has received all critical materials necessary to move forward with the Don Mario Oxide Stockpile Project.

With these supplies now secured on-site, the company is finalizing operational preparations. Processing of oxide ore is expected to commence in the middle of July, provided that final coordination activities proceed as planned. This development marks a significant step for the company, which operates a diversified portfolio including the Orovalle gold-copper-silver mine located in northern Spain.

The logistics challenges, which had previously forced a delay to the original project schedule, prompted management to pause certain activities while awaiting essential materials. Following the successful delivery of these items, the project team is now focused on the safe and efficient initiation of the oxide processing circuit.

Investors can expect further details regarding the impact of these logistics-related delays on the project’s outlook. The company intends to release revised operational guidance for its Bolivian subsidiary, EMIPA, within its Management’s Discussion and Analysis report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This updated guidance is currently scheduled for publication in mid-August 2026.

Orvana continues to advance its assets in accordance with its stated strategic plan, with management prioritizing the successful start-up and integration of the oxide processing phase at the Don Mario site.
