As well, shares of Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX:ORV) slipped 11% to $0.24 as the miner said Q1 2018 gold production at its El Valle Mine in Spain decreased by 29% compared to Q4 2017, due primarily to slower than expected oxide development progress impacted by unplanned equipment issues and unexpected buildup of in-process gold in the mill.

Minaurum Gold, Inc. (TSXV:MGG) stock, meanwhile, continued to move higher Friday, up 14% to $0.37 following a 23% gain on Thursday, after the precious metals explorer reported results from its on-going drill program at the Alamos Silver Project in Mexico, which included 8.25 metres grading 1,760 g/t silver, 1.6% copper, 1.5% lead, and 2.6% zinc.
