Production

Gold production at the EVBC mines in Spain was higher in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with earlier quarters in fiscal 2014. The recommissioning of the hoist and shaft, repaired in the first half of fiscal 2014, together with work completed to recover a failed zone in the San Martin skarns area in the Boinas mine, facilitated production increases. Additionally, management focused on optimizing the grade of the mineralization sent to the process plant, resulting in fewer tonnes processed.

At the Don Mario mine in Bolivia, the company commissioned two new gravity concentrators toward the end of March, 2014. This has yet to consistently produce the expected result of increasing gold recoveries due to commissioning challenges and complex mineralogy. Consequently, sales of the new gold concentrate are now expected to commence early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Orvana is maintaining its guidance for gold and copper and lowering its guidance for silver to between 840,000 and 900,000 ounces for the year.
