Orla Mining Ltd. provided an update on its exploration at the South Railroad Project including 2023 activities and 2024 work plans. Following the positive drill intersections reported outside the projected open pit at South Railroad, Orla reported strong drill results from the infill drill program at North Bullion. The 2023 infill drilling program successfully achieved its objectives in validating historical data for upgrading the mineral resource estimate category from inferred to indicated.

Assay results confirmed positive gold values consistent with historical assays, leading to a revision of the geological model and identification of targets for the 2024 drilling extensions of the deposit. Building on the 2022 exploration program, which concentrated on advancing satellite deposits, Orla conducted a 2023 drilling campaign focused on testing exploration targets across the South Railroad property. This 2023 program returned encouraging follow-up exploration drilling in 2024 on the extension of the North Bullion and Jasperoid Wash mineralized zones.

This work significantly enhances the Project's geological potential for resource growth and new discoveries. Continuing into 2024, Orla has planned a drill program of approximately 22,800 metres. The planned 2024 exploration program includes 4,400 metres of drilling to extend mineralization at the Pinion and Dark Star deposits, 6,400 metres of drilling to test extensions and grow satellite deposit resources, and 12,000 metres to drill test exploration targets on the South Railroad and Pony Creek properties.
