Mining Review 10th August 2025

Donald Trump caused chaos in the gold market this week with an announcement to tariff gold imports into the USA. This would impact Swiss refiners. An excellent synopsis can be read HERE.

This seems designed to hit Switzerland it what looks like a personal attack on the country, and at the time of writing the US government is stating it will issue an “clarification” soon.

——-

 

Orla mining updated on the Camino Rojo mine pit wall collapse, with a lowered productio guidance of 5% and a slight increase in AISC. It could have been worse!

Ora Banda Mining announced a high-grade gold strike, which did nothing to lift the depressed share price after the recent lowered production and costs guidance. They seem a hard to please bunch down under, OBM is trading at a tad over 50% from it’s high for a relatively small miss.

West Red Lake Gold Gold Mines gave out a decent update, but again did nothing to help a share price that lost momentum when the sad news of a fatality in the mine was released recently.

An interesting story to emerge from the Australian media is that Meeka Metals were knocked back in a bid to acquire New Murchison Gold.

Comment

Well I have to admit I’m happy and relieved with today’s news release and the small fall in share price.

It could have been worse, and to be honest I thought it might be.

The company have approached this in the right way, and been open and transprent with shareholders, which is the correct and professional way to handle such a situation.

Management deserve credit for their conduct throughout a tough few days in my opinion.

 

 

Orla Mining Provides Update on Pit Wall Event at Camino Rojo

Vancouver, BC – August 5, 2025 – Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) is providing a status update on the recent pit wall event that occurred at its Camino Rojo Oxide Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico.

Action plan in place to resume in-pit access, annual guidance updated 

 

Summary Detail 

  • Pit wall event: Camino Rojo experienced an uncontrolled material movement on the north wall on July 23rd resulting in no injuries or equipment damage.
  • Assessment: A geotechnical assessment, supported by third party consultants, has been ongoing which has informed an action plan and safe restart of mining.
  • North wall stabilization: A 50–80 metre pushback of the north wall is planned, with a redesigned slope and continuous monitoring to ensure safe operating conditions. Approximately 9.0 Mt of predominantly oxidized material (1:0.9 strip ratio, 0.74 g/t au) is expected to be removed and then crushed and stacked on the heap leach from the north wall.
  • No material was lost or sterilized in the pit wall event but rather the update to 2025 guidance is attributed to a deferral of production at Camino Rojo due to grade and recovery mix.

 

 

.

Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla stated;

“While the north wall event at Camino Rojo was a temporary setback, it has reinforced the importance of our pit wall monitoring, technical planning, risk management, and operational discipline.

 

“The team onsite acted quickly before the event to ensure safety.

 

“Following the event, our broader team, supported by expert consultants, rapidly implemented a comprehensive action plan that prioritizes safety, reinforces slope stability, and allows for continued operations in Mexico, important for all stakeholders.”

As reported on July 23, 2025, and updated on July 24, 2025, Camino Rojo experienced an uncontrolled material movement along the temporary north wall of the open pit. Importantly, there were no injuries, equipment damage, or environmental impacts resulting from the event.

Ramp access to the pit remained intact; however, open pit mining operations were temporarily suspended while the Company undertook a geotechnical assessment to support a safe action plan and restart of in-pit mining activities.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 27th July 2025

 

Mining Review 27th July 2025

It was a week of Orla Mining reported a pit wall “incident” and Newmont reported three miners trapped underground at the Red Chris mine in British Columbia.

The wonderful news is the trapped miners have now been freed and are safe, after a remotely controlled machine cleared away the debris.

——-

 

Orla Mining have updated that the pit wall movement was caused by torrential rain, and they are currently assessing what effect this incident will have on guidance.

They have suggested they have a large stockpile of ore that can be placed on the leach pad, and the share price has recovered some of the 15% loss that occurred when the bad news was released.

I remain a shareholder but am a bit cautious about the potential damage to guidance, and any further bad news could damage the share price severely in the short term.

——-

 

The price of lithium is moving up quickly due to the Chinese curtailing some mines due to environmental concerns, and in an effort to correct an oversupply situation.

The price of copper has soared on trump tariff concerns, with importers rushing to bring stocks into the USA before the August deadline.

This is surely a false market that will correct once tariffs commence?

Orla Mining Reports Pit Wall Event at Camino Rojo

Vancouver, BC – July 23, 2025 – Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) reports that an uncontrolled material movement event occurred today on the pit wall at its Camino Rojo Oxide Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. 

The event occurred along the temporary north wall of the open pit, which included ore material expected to be mined as part of the ultimate open pit.

There were no injuries or equipment damage as a result of the material movement, which was detected early by the pit monitoring systems.

The event was caused by significant rain. There was no environmental damage resulting from the incident; however, rainwater diversion channels will need to be re-established to prevent further material subsidence in the pit.

While the main access throughout the pit was not affected, mining in the pit has been temporarily suspended.

Pit access has been restricted to the necessary technical and operating personnel to support the appropriate geotechnical assessments required for safe remediation and resumption of mining activities.

Crushing and stacking of stockpiled material onto the heap leach will continue in the interim. The Company is currently assessing any potential impact of the pit wall event on its full-year production guidance for Camino Rojo.

The relevant authorities are being notified as appropriate, and Orla is implementing appropriate remediation measures.

The safety of all personnel remains the Company’s top priority as it undertakes a comprehensive analysis to ensure the ongoing stability of mining operations.

Mining Review 13th July 2025

A very poor week for our producing watchlist companies, with good news being ignored, or sold into. The price of gold and silver has held steady, so its just selling to rotate into early stage juniors as some commentators are stating, or profit taking.

The price of copper has surged around 10% in a week on Trump tariff fears, and a rush to import into the USA before any tariffs take effect. I think tariffs on copper would damage US industry so I seriously doubt they will occur, and if they do, only for a short while.

——-

Orla Mining and Kaiser Reef both reported record production at their projects in the last quarter.

G Mining Ventures achieved nameplate capacity at the TZ mine, yet the price has fallen back almost a third from the peak a couple of months ago.

West Red Lake Gold Mines reported a positive PEA for Rowan. Normally this would cause a rise in share price, but WRLG has lost momentum since the fatality in the mine a couple of weeks ago. I suspect investors want some detail as to culpability before investing now.

Mining Review 15th June 2025

City Investors Circle published the review of the past week for watchlist stocks as well as the commodity markets.

Meeka Metals confirmed the commissioning of the processing plant as production commences at their Murchison gold project.

——-

Gold was falling slowly until the Isreali attack on Iran, and it has now bounced over $3,400, and the large producing gold miners have all bounced back up after sliding for a couple of weeks.

Most of the industrial metals fell on less favourable economic news.

——-

 

“Rotation” is the new buzzword in the mining sector, as multiple commentators predict people are moving at least some of their profits from larger gold producers into more risky but potentially higher rewarding exploration juniors.

I have considered top slicing some profits, but only to invest into companies coming into production, such as West Red Lake Gold, Meeka Metals, Horizon etc. etc.

I do not yet feel there is a great opportunity in the early stage exploration space, and feel the largest upside remains with producers and soon to be producers.

There are hundreds of exploration companies out there, picking the one that will jump 100% or so after a drill result is like finding a needle in a haystack, so I prefer to stay with the producers for now.

Mexican miners to demonstrate outside Orla Mining’s Vancouver offices

Orla Mining (TSX: OLA)

VANCOUVER – Mine workers from Mexico, joined by United Steelworkers (USW) union members, will demonstrate Tuesday outside the Vancouver offices of Orla Mining to protest violence and intimidation against workers at Orla’s Camino Rojo mine in Mexico.

Comment

This doesn’t read very well, as a shareholder I always want the company I’m invested in to treat their workers properly.

It does look like a battle between two unions for control, and officers of both have vested interests of course, but what we don’t know is whether or not the union at the mine is causing unneccesary issues to Orla by abusing their position.

Unless we hear both sides we simply cannot take an informed view, so until then I trust Orla management to treat their workers correctly.

Steelworkers and Mexican miners to demonstrate outside Orla Mining’s Vancouver offices over human and labour rights abuses in Mexico

June 9, 2025

 

.THe

Orla Mining (TSX: OLA)

VANCOUVER – Mine workers from Mexico, joined by United Steelworkers (USW) union members, will demonstrate Tuesday outside the Vancouver offices of Orla Mining to protest violence and intimidation against workers at Orla’s Camino Rojo mine in Mexico.

WHO:    Members of the Mexican miners’ union Los Mineros and the United Steelworkers union

WHAT:   Protest outside Orla Mining offices in Vancouver over human and labour rights abuses

WHEN:  Tuesday, June 10, 4:30 p.m. PDT

WHERE: Sidewalk outside 1075 W. Georgia St., Vancouver

Since the spring of 2024, the Mexican miners’ union Los Mineros has alleged in numerous Mexican labour complaints that Orla Mining has pressured and coerced its workers in Mexico to decertify their union and affiliate with a pro-employer company union. A cartel is present at the mine and is alleged to have a relationship with the company’s management and the pro-employer union. Members of the cartel have threatened violence against workers who do not support the pro-employer union.

Last June the Mineros submitted a complaint over the company’s interference in their rights to freedom of association. The complaint was accepted by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), and is now moving to an international arbitration panel.

Orla Mining Delivers Initial Underground Mineral Resource for Camino Rojo in Mexico, Paving the Way for Future Development Planning

.

Vancouver, BC – June 5, 2025 – Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the first underground Mineral Resource estimate for the Company’s Camino Rojo deposit located in Zacatecas, Mexico, representing a down plunge extension from the oxide open pit.

This news release presents the initial underground Mineral Resource estimate for the Camino Rojo deposit, incorporating mineralization hosted in the Camino Rojo Sulphides and extending into the underlying Zone 22.  Zone 22 represents the vertical and down plunge continuation of the Camino Rojo sulphide mineralization.

Summary Highlights:

  • Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource: 50.1 Mt at 2.45 g/t Au, 10.6 g/t Ag, and 0.25% Zn, averaging 2.58 g/t AuEq, totaling 3.95 Moz Au, 17.05 Moz Ag, 278 Mlbs Zn, and 4.16 Moz AuEq.
  • Inferred Mineral Resource: 5.6 Mt at 2.21 g/t Au, 10.9 g/t Ag, and 0.21% Zn, averaging 2.33 g/t AuEq, totaling 0.40 Moz Au, 1.95 Moz Ag, 26 Mlbs Zn, and 0.42 Moz AuEq.
  • Zone 22 accounts for only 7% (0.29 Moz AuEq) of the current underground Indicated Mineral Resource and 19% (0.08 Moz AuEq) of the current underground Inferred Mineral Resource. This represents only a portion of the defined mineralization in Zone 22, with drilling ongoing. The 2025 drilling results from Zone 22 will be incorporated in future resource updates.
  • Recovery model supported by ongoing metallurgical work: The mineral resource is divided into three spatially distinct zones, each with specific processing options for the Caracol-hosted mineralization: heap leaching (3%); cyanidation (CIL) (25%); and flotation followed by pressure oxidation (“POX”) as a pre-treatment prior to cyanidation (CIL with POX) (72%). These zones inform the resource recovery assumptions. Initial metallurgical testing indicates that material from Zone 22 is amenable to both cyanide leaching and flotation.  
  • Development strategy to advance the initial underground Mineral Resource towards possible future construction decision. This includes additional exploration, development planning for an exploration drift to allow for tighter spaced underground drilling, flowsheet design, further metallurgical testing, engineering studies, and permitting activities.

 

 

.

– Jason Simpson, President and CEO commented

“This initial underground resource marks an important milestone at Camino Rojo.

 

“When we acquired the project, the scale of the mineralized system was clear, but the path forward was uncertain.

 

“This resource crystallizes our belief in the potential for a future underground operation. Our team has taken a systematic approach, and we will now look to increase confidence and establish a clear path to construction.”

West Red Lake Gold Mining is ramping up to production and the share price is stirring at last.

Westgold and G Mining Ventures both released decent results, bit share prices fell due to the falling price of gold.

Gold had a poor week as a risk on attitude returned to the markets, but did hold onto the $3,200 level just, but may well fall below next week.

US economic data looked better, but inflation fears remain and Trump is focused on reducing interest rates, which will be bullish for gold.

  • Updated 2025 production and AISC guidance, inclusive of Musselwhite, is 280,000 to 300,000 ounces of gold produced and $1,300 to $1,500 per ounce gold sold, respectively.2 With first quarter production and costs, Orla is currently on plan to achieve full year guidance.
  • Musselwhite investment of $115.0 million of exploration and capital to enhance future growth profile.
  • Net loss for the first quarter was $69.8 million or $(0.22) per share, driven by the fair value adjustments on our financial instruments arising from the Musselwhite acquisition.
  • Adjusted earnings1 for the first quarter were $38.6 million or $0.12 per share.
  • Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital during the first quarter was $401.2 million driven by the proceeds received from the gold prepayment3.

  • The Company ended the period with a cash balance of $184.2 million and $450 million in debt.

.

–       Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla commented

“We are proud of the continued consistency from our team in Mexico where the Camino Rojo Mine remains a strong cash flow generator.

 

“This quarter also marked a major milestone with the closing of the Musselwhite acquisition, expanding our presence in Canada, and increasing our annual gold production guidance to 280 – 300 thousand ounces.

 

“Over the next two quarters, our focus will be on integrating Musselwhite, laying the foundation for long-term success. Over the next 24 months and beyond, we plan to invest significantly in exploration and provide our new team with the resources to reshape Musselwhite beyond 2030.

 

“Our next step of growth will be driven by our U.S. team, where we continue to advance the South Railroad Project in Nevada through permitting and toward construction.”

City Investors Circle Mining Review 20th April 2025

,

The price of gold reached a new high and settled up around 2%. All the precious metals rose, with silver rising nearly 5%.

Base metals also rose, with the exception of lithium, coking. and thermal coal.

Calibre Mining and Orla Mining announced record production and at lower gold prices than the current level.

Awalé Resources reported more high-grade gold strikes in the Ivory Coast.

Producing gold miners generally had a good week as the market seems to be finally recognising the revenue now being earned at the higher gold price. The good results being reported now are at a lower gold price than currently, so if this price remains or increases the next set of results will be spectacular.

Orla Mining Launches $25M Exploration Drilling Program

Orla Mining Launches $25M Exploration Drilling Program to Expand Reserves and Resources and Extend Musselwhite Mine Trend

Vancouver, BC – April 1, 2025 – Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA; NYSE: ORLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of the 2025 exploration drilling program at the Company’s recently acquired Musselwhite Mine in Northwestern Ontario.
,
.
.

2025 Program Summary:

  1. Underground drilling to replace and expand reserves and resources.
  2. Directional drilling from surface to prove the open down-plunge extension of the Mine Trend; the first surface program since 2020.
  3. Drill testing priority near-mine targets to identify potential new mill feed material.

.

Background:

The Musselwhite Mine has produced nearly 6 Moz of gold over its 28-year operating history.

Recent exploration efforts have focused on near-mine targets, including the down-plunge extension of the mine trend (PQ Deep area), through underground drilling to replace depleted reserves and resources. However, historical exploration drilling confirmed that the mineralized system extends at least one kilometre beyond current reserves.

These results indicate significant potential mineralization beyond the current reserve.

Orla plans to continue underground exploration while also restarting drilling from surface to confirm the deposit’s down-plunge continuity. The objective is to define a critical mass of additional reserves and resources to support expansion of the operation and significantly extend the mine life.

Historical drilling along the mine trend extension suggests an additional two to three kilometres of mineralized strike potential beyond current reserves and resources, extending from the PQ Deep area into the down-plunge portion of the mine. Additionally, Orla will assess near-mine targets through surface drilling for further resource growth and potential new mill feed.

. 

Sylvain Guerard, Orla’s Senior Vice President, Exploration commented

“We are thrilled to launch this long-overdue, ambitious exploration program at Musselwhite.

 

“Our primary objective is to intersect mineralization beyond the current reserves and resources along the down-plunge extension of the Mine Trend, demonstrating the potential to extend mine life well beyond 2030.

 

“We will also continue underground drilling and reactivate surface drilling near the mine to further expand resources and demonstrate the potential for mine life extension and expansion.” –

.

.

,

2025 Underground Drill Program:

Underground exploration drilling began in March immediately following completion of the Musselwhite acquisition. Orla intends to complete approximately 35,000 metres of underground drilling in 2025 to offset mine depletion and grow reserves, resources and mineral inventories.

Fourth Quarter and Year End 2024 Camino Rojo Oxide Mine Operational Update

Camino Rojo maintained higher mining rates during the fourth quarter as a result of the mine pit redesign to ensure steady production through 2024 and 2025.

The strip ratio was 1.54 for the quarter and 1.12 for the full year. Gold production in the fourth quarter totaled 26,531 ounces, in line with the plan.

An additional 4,100 ounces of gold remained in the refinery inventory as concentrate at year end due to the pour schedule and has been poured and shipped in January. Full year gold production achieved a record 136,748 ounces due to higher than planned tonnes stacked, higher grade processed, and higher recoveries due to finer crusher product size..

.

Liquidity Position

During the fourth quarter 2024, the Company repaid the entirety of the outstanding balance of $58.4 million under its revolving credit facility, taking the Company to a debt free position. At December 31, 2024, Orla’s cash position was $160.8 million. 

2025 Guidance Summary (Preliminary)

This preliminary guidance does not reflect the benefits of the Company’s acquisition of the Musselwhite Mine from Newmont Corporation, announced on November 18, 2024, which is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2025.

Updated 2025 guidance, including the Musselwhite Mine and corporate G&A will be provided following the transaction’s closing. this news release for additional information.

.

Camino Rojo (Mexico)

In 2025, Camino Rojo expects to mine approximately 20 million tonnes, placing about 7 million tonnes of ore on the heap leach pad, stockpiling just over 1 million tonnes of low-grade ore.

In the first half of 2025, stacking will primarily consist of oxide ore, resulting in higher gold recovery rates.

The stacked ore blend will shift in the second half of 2025 which will see the stacking of more transition ore resulting in slightly lower gold recovery rates.

Total gross operating costs in 2025 are expected to be in line with 2024 but slightly lower gold production in 2025 is expected to result in higher cash costs and AISC per ounce.

Despite this, Camino Rojo’s first quartile costs are expected to continue to deliver strong cash margins. Sustaining capital in 2025 is mostly related to capitalized waste movement and completion of the live ore stockpile dome.

Exploration efforts in Mexico for 2025 are focused on advancing Zone 22 (Camino Rojo Extension) to an indicated mineral resource classification, as well as testing regional drill targets for new discoveries.

The Company plans to spend $16 million to conduct 22,000 metres of drilling in Mexico during the year.

In addition, the Company is advancing an initial underground resource estimate for the Camino Rojo Sulphides, which is expected to be released in the first half of the year.

Following this, additional studies will be undertaken to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Camino Rojo Sulphides.
