07:21 AM EDT, 06/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Orla Mining ( ORLA ) on Wednesday provided an update on exploration activities at the Camino Rojo sulphide extension in Mexico.

Highlights of the results include 6.16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent over 15 meters, 7.24 g/t gold equivalent over 6.6 meters and 4.12 g/t gold equivalent over 9.8 meters. Gold recovery rate was 86%.

The drill results indicate potential expansion of the Camino Rojo sulphide resource at depth, extending beyond the current mineral resource down plunge by 500 meters and down dip by 300 meters.

The rest of the exploration program will focus on extending mineralization from 0.5 to 1 kilometer down plunge of the current limit of mineral resources. This drilling is expected to test open mineralized trends and historical high-grade intersections to assess the broader potential of the Camino Rojo deposit.
