Geologic Modeler
Orla Mining, Elko, NV, United States
Orla Mining is striving to be the emerging gold producer of choice with a geographically diversified asset base, a prospective development and exploration portfolio, an experienced management team with a successfultrack record, and a high-quality board and shareholder base.
Orla is advancing permitting and development on our South Railroad Project, a feasibility-stage, open-pit heap leach projectlocatedon the prolific Carlin trend in Nevada. This project is part of our larger South Carlin Complex which includes a prospective land package. We alsooperatethe Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine, a gold and silver open-pit heap leach mine,locatedin Zacatecas State, Central Mexico. This low-cost operation is 100% owned by Orla, covers over 139,000 hectares, and includes a largesulphidemineral endowmentlocatedbeneath the oxide resources. Orla alsooperatesthe Musselwhite Minelocatedin Northern Ontario, a gold mine with more than 25 years of operating history and the potential to expand resources and mine life for years to come.
Orla is building a legacy of excellence,respectand sustainable value through responsible gold mining. We work to create a net positive benefit for all andleavea legacy beyond the life of our mines. We do this through building andoperatinghigh quality mines supported and led by an experienced team. We are custodians of the assets we run and the environments in which weoperate, and we are committed to fostering a culture of excellence, care, and respect.
