Musselwhite Operations
During the quarter, Musselwhite mined 325,923 tonnes of ore and processed 329,634 tonnes at a mill head grade of 5.87 g/t gold. Gold recovery was 95.3% resulting in gold production of 57,586 ounces.
Camino Rojo Operations
As previously reported on July 23rd, 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. The corporate and site teams, supported by a group of experts in the field, responded with a plan to stabilize the area, including a 50–80 metre pushback and ongoing monitoring. Due to the resulting change to the mine schedule for 2025, on August 5th, the Company updated Camino Rojo’s annual gold production guidance to 95,000-105,000 ounces, from 110,000-120,000 gold ounces (see the Company’s August 5, 2025, press release). As a result, Orla also revised its consolidated annual gold production guidance accordingly to 265,000–285,000 gold ounces from 280,000 to 300,000 gold ounces.
During the quarter, Camino Rojo mined over 0.7 million tonnes of ore and nearly 2.4 million tonnes of waste, for an implied strip ratio of 3.34. A total of 1.7 million tonnes of ore were stacked at an average grade of 0.44 g/t gold equating to an average daily stacking rate of about 18.9 thousand tonnes. In addition, 1.1 million tonnes of run-of-mine low-grade ore from the stockpile were rehandled and placed on the leach pad, averaging 0.32 g/t gold. In total, 2.8 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.40 g/t gold were placed on the heap leach pad during the quarter.

At September 30, 2025, Orla’s cash and debt positions were $326.9 million and $420.0 million, respectively resulting in a net debt position of $93.1 million2.
