Commitment to Sustainability

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the release of its 2023 Sustainability Report, continuing to highlight the Company's commitment to environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") initiatives. Orla operates the Camino Rojo mine in Zacatecas, Mexico and is developing the South Railroad project in Nevada, US, with active exploration programs at both sites.

In a commitment to sustainability and in an effort to minimize consumption, the 2023 report is being presented online and is available here: Orla Mining: Sustainability Report 2023.

The Company's "Towards 2030 Sustainability Strategy" is designed to deliver lasting value by maximizing stakeholder benefits, minimizing negative impacts, and managing stakeholder relationships with care. Orla is integrating sustainability across operations, with clear metrics, climate strategies, and ongoing efforts to reduce emissions, water use, and overall environmental impact.

2023 Sustainability Performance Highlights:

•

Achieved global leading metrics on emissions and water management at its Camino Rojo operations in Mexico:

•

0.19 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per ounce of gold produced.

•

0.12 m3/t of processed ore water intensity, with zero water discharge (100% of water reused and recycled).

•

Increased female representation among contracted workforce from 3.6% to 14.6%.

•

Generated US$10.7 million in community economic contributions at Camino Rojo, including salaries, local procurement, land leases and investments in local infrastructure.

This year's report is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team as we strive to meet our long-term sustainability goals."
