Orla Mining (TSX:OLA) archived record quarterly gold production of 47,759 ounces in Q1 2025 ended March 31, putting the company on a path to meeting annual guidance of 110,000 to 120,000 ounces.

The company ended the quarter with US$184.2 million in cash and US$450 million in debt and expects to release Q1 financial results on May 9, 2025.

Management has delivered overall profitability over the past three years combined, despite a net loss in 2023 because of an impairment charge related to its Cerro Quema project in Panama. Law 407, passed in November 2023, effectively put a halt on the country’s mining industry. The company filed a request for arbitration against the Government of Panama in July 2024.
