News Release 

Orla Mining Provides Initial Update on Pit WallEvent at Camino Rojo

VANCOUVER, BC, July 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Orla MiningLtd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is providing an update on the recent pit wall event thatoccurred at its Camino Rojo Oxide Mine in Zacatecas, Mexico.

Pit Wall Event and Immediate Response

As reported on July 23, 2025, Camino Rojo experiencedan uncontrolled material movement on the temporary north wall within the open pit. There were no injuries, nor was there any damage toequipment or the environment as a result of the event. Ramp access to the pit remains unaffected but open pit mining operations were temporarilysuspended while the Company conducts the necessary geotechnical assessments to ensure safe remediation and the eventual resumption ofmining activities. These assessments are being conducted by both the Company's internal team and third-party consultants. Completion ofthe initial geotechnical assessments is anticipated in the coming week, with the remediation plan to be outlined thereafter.

Material Volume and Recovery Outlook

Initial estimates indicate that approximately 390,000tonnes of material moved from the north wall into the pit. It is expected that this material would be crushed and stacked on the heapleach pad in the medium term.

Ongoing Operations and Stockpile Management

Until in-pit mining operations resume, the Companywill continue crushing and stacking run-of-mine ore and stockpile material on the heap leach pad. This strategy is expected to mitigateshort-term impact on production. The crushing circuit, stacking, and process plant continue to operate.

The current stockpile is estimated at 2,243,000 tonneswith an average gold grade of 0.32 g/t. As a reminder, the Company's mining throughput capacity is approximately 50,000 to 60,000 tonnesper day, while its crushing throughput capacity is approximately 18,000 to 19,000 tonnes per day.

As the Company completes the necessary geotechnicalassessments and refines the timeline for safe restart of mining operations, it will provide any updates to full-year production and costguidance.
