Orla Mining (NYSEAMERICAN:ORLA) is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing gold and silver projects through to production. Listed on the NYSE American under the ticker ORLA, the company applies a development‐stage business model that integrates discovery, feasibility, permitting and construction activities. Orla’s primary objective is to create long‐lived, low‐cost, environmentally responsible gold operations in the Americas by leveraging modern heap leach technology and disciplined capital management.
The company’s flagship asset is the Camino Rojo oxide gold project located in Zacatecas State, Mexico. Camino Rojo entered commercial production in 2022 following a detailed feasibility study and a construction phase that included the development of a heap leach pad, processing facilities and supporting infrastructure. Orla’s Mexico operation is designed to process oxide material through heap leaching and carbon‐in‐leach circuits, producing doré bars on site. The project’s proximity to local infrastructure and access to skilled labor contribute to its cost‐efficient profile and scalability.
In addition to Camino Rojo, Orla is advancing the Cerro Quema gold project in Panama. Cerro Quema hosts oxide and transitional gold mineralization that is amenable to heap leaching and is supported by extensive drill campaigns and metallurgical test work. Orla’s development plan for Cerro Quema emphasizes phases of expansion and optimization to enhance recoveries, extend mine life and increase annual gold equivalent production. These twin pillars—Camino Rojo and Cerro Quema—form the core of Orla’s growth pipeline.
Since its incorporation in the mid‐2010s, Orla Mining has pursued a growth strategy built on technical expertise and community engagement. Under the leadership of President and CEO Paul Martin, the company has assembled a management team with extensive backgrounds in mining development, engineering and corporate finance. Orla maintains active relationships with local stakeholders and regulatory authorities in Mexico and Panama, aiming to uphold high standards of environmental stewardship and social responsibility as it advances its projects toward full‐scale commercial operations.
