ORLA MINING RELEASES 2024 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT IN COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Orla Mining Ltd. has released its 2024 sustainability report, continuing to demonstrate its commitment to responsible mining and transparent disclosure of environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. The 2024 sustainability report is available on-line.

Now in its third year of ESG reporting, Orla remains committed to transparent environmental and social metrics, responsible governance, and embedding sustainability across its operations and culture.

Orla remains a proud signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, aligning its practices with internationally recognized sustainability principles. In 2024 the company also deepened its approach to climate action by conducting the first Scope 3 emissions assessment at its Camino Rojo operation in Mexico, expanding the company's understanding of indirect emissions across the value chain.

2024 sustainability performance highlights:

Camino Rojo, Mexico:

• Achieved industry-leading GHG emissions intensity of 0.24 tonne of CO2 equivalent per ounce of gold produced (Scope 1 and 2);
• Maintained a water intensity of 0.12 cubic metre per tonne of processed ore, with 100 per cent of water reused and recycled and zero water discharge;
• Spent $9.6-million (U.S.) on goods and services through local suppliers;
• Delivered an average of 106 hours of health and safety training per employee, a 116-per-cent increase from the previous year;
• Partnered with local schools and the San Tiburcio Ejido to launch a community poultry farm, promoting food self-sufficiency, youth skills development and sustainable rural livelihoods.

Company-wide:

• 58 per cent of direct employees at sites were hired from local communities, up from 49 per cent in 2023;
• Introduced four new environmental management standards covering water management, biodiversity, air emissions and noise, and hazardous materials, strengthening site-level accountability;
• 25 per cent of Orla's corporate goals were ESG linked, all of which were achieved. Pease refer to the company's 2025 management information circular for more information on Orla's corporate goals.

"Our 2024 sustainability report is another step forward in building a culture of accountability for our performance and continuous learning to improve outcomes, aligning business growth with responsible practices that benefit the people and ecosystems around us," said Silvana Costa, Orla's chief sustainability officer
