Employee Relations Superintendent

Employee Relations Superintendent 
Musselwhite Mine 
 
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 successful track record, and a high-quality board and shareholder base.  
   
Orla operates the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine, a gold and silver open-pit heap leach mine, located in Zacatecas 
State, Central Mexico. This low-cost operation is 100% owned by Orla, covers over 139,000 hectares, and includes a large sulphide mineral endowment located beneath the oxide resources.  We are also advancing permitting and 
development on our South Railroad Project, a feasibility-stage, open-pit heap leach project located on the prolific 
Carlin trend in Nevada. This project is part our larger South Carlin Complex which includes a prospective land 
package. We recently acquired the Musselwhite Mine located in Northern Ontario on Lake Opapimiskan, a gold mine 
with more than 25 years of operating history. The addition of Musselwhite has allowed Orla to more than double our 
gold production and provide a strategic entry into a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction. The Musselwhite Mine is highly 
prospective with potential to expand resources and mine life for years to come.   
 
Orla is building a legacy of excellence, respect and sustainable value through responsible gold mining. We are striving to create a net positive benefit for all and leaving a legacy beyond the life of our mines. We do this through building and operating high quality mines supported and led by an experienced team. We are custodians of the assets we run and the environments in which we operate, and we are committed to fostering a culture of excellence, care, and respect.
