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 23^rd, 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 5^th, 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.

Liquidity Position

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.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has included certain performance measures in this news release which are not specified, defined, or determined under generally accepted accounting principles (in the Company's case, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")). These are common performance measures in the gold mining industry, but because they do not have any mandated standardized definitions, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, the Company uses such measures to provide additional information and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In this section, all currency figures in tables are in millions.

Net Cash (Debt)

Net cash (debt) is calculated as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments less total debt at the end of the reporting period. This measure is used by management to measure the Company's debt leverage. The Company believes that net cash is useful in evaluating the Company's leverage and is also a key metric in determining the cost of debt.

NET CASH (DEBT)	Sept 30, 2025	Dec 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$ 326.9	$ 160.8
Debt	(420.0)	—
NET CASH (DEBT)	$ (93.1)	$ 160.8
