Pinion: 112.7m at 0.72 g/t Au (oxide)
Dark Star: 36.6m at 3.53 g/t Au, including 19.8m at 5.23 g/t Au (oxide)
VANCOUVER, BC, March 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the South Railroad Project in the second half of 2023. This news release presents the first of two updates from the 2023 infill and extension drilling, totaling seven drillholes and representing 2,508 metres. Drilling at South Railroad in 2023 totalled 14,695 metres and additional results from other exploration targets will be shared in a subsequent update.
Highlights
- Potential expansion of resources at Pinion and Dark Star deposits through new oxide intersections in step-out drilling:
- Pinion: 0.72 g/t Au over 112.7 metres (oxide)
- Dark Star: 3.53 g/t Au over 36.6 metres (oxide)
- Successful infilling and metallurgical drilling with confirmation of modeled grade, continuity of mineralization, via infill drill program.
- Intersection includes 2.20 g/t Au over 163.1 metres (oxide) and 2.50 g/t Au over 88.1 metres (oxide).
"Since acquiring the South Railroad project in August 2022, Orla has made substantial progress in near-deposit exploration, satellite deposit testing, and expanding our land position along the Carlin Trend. The recent positive drill results outside the projected open pits highlight the project's low exploration maturity and significant growth potential. In 2024, we will focus on expanding resources at existing deposits and continuing exploration across the property, which could soon be expanded to include Pony Creek".
- Sylvain Guerard, Orla's SVP Exploration
2023 Pinion and Dark Star Exploration Highlights
In 2023, Orla extended oxide-hosted gold mineralization at the Pinion and Dark Star deposits, with highly positive drill intersections outside of the projected open pits (Figure 1). Meanwhile, infill drill results met expectations, confirming robust oxide mineralization within projected pits, while supplying material for new metallurgical column test work to further optimize the planned development project.
Pinion SE Extension Drilling
At the Pinion deposit, a review of available geological data suggested gold mineralization may be continuous in the southeastern part of the deposit over the Pinion SE target area, where faulting had been previously interpreted as limiting or displacing extension of the mineralization. To test the continuity of gold mineralization, three drill holes totaling 822 metres were completed. All three drillholes intercepted significant oxide-hosted gold mineralization, including 0.72 g/t Au over 112.7 metres (oxide) confirming the continuity of gold mineralization to the southeast without fault displacement interference (Figure 2). These results, combined with historical drill intersections, indicate geological continuity and suggests gold mineralization extends to at least 350 metres outside of the projected open pit.
Significant results from drilling at Pinion:

PR23-01 incl. | 0.78 g/t Au over 71.6 m (oxide) 1.79 g/t Au over 16.8 m |
PR23-02 and | 0.44 g/t Au over 29.0 m (oxide) 0.50 g/t Au over 39.6 m (oxide) |
Dark Star Exploration Drilling (Project Open Pit extension and Geophysical Target)
Exploration drilling at the Dark Star deposit consisted of 1,112 metres in two drillholes. Results from these two exploration drill holes identified the potential to extend oxide mineralization beyond the currently defined mineral resources and explained a seismic anomaly identified below the Dark Star deposit.
Drillhole DR23-01 targeted the potential extension of high-grade mineralization east of the currently designed open pit limit, returning wider and higher-grade oxide hosted gold mineralization than nearby drill holes and average resources grade, including 3.53 g/t Au over 36.6 metres (oxide), 5.23 g/t Au over 19.8 metres approximately 50 metres outside of the projected open pit limit (Figure 3). The exceptional results from this extension drilling suggests the potential to define additional oxide mineralization, possibly associated with a previously unknown feeder structure for the Dark Star deposit. Additional drilling is planned for 2024 to follow-up on these highly encouraging results, testing the feeder structure model and defining the potential to grow resources and expand the projected open pit.
Drillhole DC23-01 was drilled in the northern part of the Dark Star deposit to test the potential extension of mineralization and was extended to investigate an anisotropic, antiformal seismic anomaly approximately 400 metres below the Dark Star deposit. Assay results from the upper part of the hole returned low grade Au (1.66 g/t Au over 12.5 metres (Sulphide) from 256.5 metres) approximately 30 metres outside the currently defined open pit at Dark Star. Drilling also intercepted unmineralized Tonka Formation conglomerate at depth, explaining and validating the seismic target.
Significant exploration results from Dark Star:
Dark Star Extension |
DR23-01 incl. incl. | 3.53 g/t Au over 36.6 m (oxide) 5.23 g/t Au over 19.8 m (oxide) 11.8 g/t Au over 3.1m (oxide) |
Dark Star Infill and Metallurgical Drilling
One reverse circulation and one core drillhole were completed within the northern pit at the Dark Star deposit (Figure 4) to support ongoing project development work.
The reverse circulation hole, DR23-02, was drilled to confirm continuity of high-grade Au in oxide mineralization at the base of the designed open pit. Highly positive assay results, 2.20 g/t Au over 163.1 metres (oxide), incl. 3.97 g/t Au over 30.5 metres, confirmed the modeled grade, limits of gold mineralization, and continuity of high-grade mineralization at the base of the designed open pit.
The core drillhole, DSC23-02, was drilled to provide material for run-of-mine column test work. The strong assay results, 2.50 g/t Au over 88.1 metres (oxide), incl. 5.69 g/t Au over 30.5 metres1, from hole DSC23-02 are consistent with historical drill data and the mineral resource estimate block model. The run-of-mine column test work is expected to be undertaken in 2024.

2024 Pinion and Dark Star Planned Exploration
Orla is committed to growing the Pinion and Dark Star deposits through exploration in 2024. As part of the broader South Railroad exploration program totaling approximately 14,000 metres, Orla plans to drill 4,400 metres across 16 holes, with a focus on exploration near the Pinion and Dark Star deposits. Near-deposit exploration in 2024 will seek to define the extension of oxide mineralization beyond the currently defined open pit extents, building on the drill success from 2023, and supporting resources expansion efforts.
The 2024 exploration program at South Railroad is planned to commence in the spring of 2024 and is expected to continue through October 2024.
South Railroad Project Resources & Reserves and Pinion & Dark Star Geological Setting
The South Railroad Project covers a strike length of over 25 kilometres along the southern part of the prolific Carlin Gold Trend, Nevada.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Readers
This news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "inferred mineral resources,", "indicated mineral resources," "measured mineral resources" and "mineral resources" used or referenced herein and the documents incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards").
For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which became effective February 25, 2019. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the SEC's disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7. Issuers were required to comply with the SEC Modernization Rules in their first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system, the Corporation is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralization in these categories will be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves without further work and analysis. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable without further work and analysis. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to a higher category without further work and analysis. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules or under the prior standards of SEC Industry Guide 7.
