(Kitco News) - Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) reported yesterday that the company produced 10,595 gold equivalent ounces at its Orovalle operations in Spain in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, a 33% decrease from Q1 FY2022.
According to the company’s statement, its quarterly production was impacted by the temporary operations stoppage in March as a result of the nationwide transport strike in Spain.
Orvana also reported revenue of $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $19.7 million a year ago, and EBITDA of negative $2.7 million. The company’s net loss for the quarter was $5.8 million, compared to net loss of $0.8 million a year ago.

However, Orvana noted that the company expects to be in a favourable position by the end of this fiscal year to continue the development of its defined strategy of continued production and development of organic growth.
