Abra Achieves First Concentrate Shipment

GALENA MINING LTD. (“Galena” or the “Company”) (ASX: G1A) is pleased to announce that the first concentrate shipment of 5,019 dry metric tonnes (dmt) left the port of Geraldton on Saturday, 25 March 2023.

Managing Director, Tony James commented, “The first Abra concentrate shipment is a very important milestone for the project and it is one that is very rewarding for all those who have been involved with the successful build and transition of the mine into production. I’d like to acknowledge the very professional approach taken by the MidWest Ports Authority (MWPA) and Qube who provide our integrated logistics services for our concentrate handling. This first concentrate shipment coincides with the first stope production on site which is also a significant part of the mine ramp-up over the coming months to reach steady state production of 1.3mtpa”.
