Located in San Juan province, Orvana will evaluate Taguas’ broader potential.
By Panorama Minero
Orvana Minerals Corp. announced that its Argentine subsidiary, Orvana Argentina S.A., has commenced a geophysical survey at its Taguas Project, located in the high Andes of San Juan Province. The Taguas property consists of fifteen mining concessions totaling approximately 3,274 hectares, situated within a well-known Andean mineral belt hosting high-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver-copper and porphyry-style deposits.
The Company is repositioning the Taguas Project to evaluate its broader potential, extending beyond the near-surface oxidized gold-silver resource outlined in the 2021 Preliminary Economic Assessment to include the underlying sulfide mineralization and potential deep porphyry copper-gold system.
"The 2025/26 campaign marks an important milestone in advancing our understanding of the Taguas mineral system. By combining the advanced geophysical survey now underway with insights from the recently completed review of historical exploration data, we will prioritize key targets for our initial deep drilling campaign, planned to start in January 2026, and establish a disciplined and strategic path toward unlocking the system's broader potential", said Juan Gavidia, Chief Executive Officer of Orvana Minerals Corp.
2025/26 Exploration Program
The Company's 2025/26 Exploration Program at the Taguas Project is structured into three sequential phases:
This approach allows the Company to progress methodically while focusing on the most promising targets for deep drilling.
Strategic Context
The Taguas exploration program aligns with Orvana's broader strategy of enhancing long-term value through targeted exploration and disciplined capital allocation. The objective of this campaign is to refine the geological model, test priority porphyry targets, and determine the next steps for the project's development. Results from the 2025/26 program will help guide Orvana's strategic decisions regarding future resource delineation and potential project advancement.
