Abra Production And Operations Update

GALENA MINING LTD. (“Galena” or the “Company”) (ASX: G1A) is pleased to announce the departure of the scheduled June concentrate shipment which left the port of Geraldton on Friday, 23 June 2023. Additional operational improvements in line with the scheduled production ramp-up continue to be implemented. The mine is estimating concentrate stock levels to be approximately 3kt by the end of June which will enable a double shipment (or a larger single shipment) in July.

Managing Director, Tony James commented, “The June shipment (5kt concentrate) left Geraldton last Friday as the mine continues to ramp-up. Production improvements are continuing as planned at the mine. An example is the installation of the surface remote facility allowing for production bogging to continue over shift changes and the mine’s primary pumping system has been successfully commissioned. The mine has also completed the 6m diameter primary exhaust and intake rises down to the 1,280mRL level from the surface (1,550mRL level) in preparation for installation of the second primary fan in July. Good progress has been made in June with mining in ten different stopes on the 1280mRL and 1260mRL levels. It’s very rewarding to see the high level of technology that is being applied at the Abra mine that will deliver many benefits as we continue to ramp-up production”.

What Makes VMS Deposits Attractive Targets?

As investors well know, there is no such thing as a sure bet with the stock market. Against a backdrop of fluctuating metals prices, volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits may look more attractive than ever.

That’s thanks to their polymetallic content. Often containing copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold, VMS deposits can offer resource investors some cushion regarding the rise and fall of individual metals. If it’s a rough year for copper prices, for example, profits off zinc or gold might still help a VMS deposit company’s stock soar.

Furthermore, VMS deposits are an opportunity to buy into both the precious and base metals markets — two very different landscapes. The latter tends to be driven by commodities markets, while precious metals like gold and silver are often seen as safe-haven investments. The principle of diversification, then, seems built into a VMS deposit itself.
