According to the company's report, the mine has fully returned to normal operations. Management continues to engage in constructive dialogue with representatives of the Sindicato de Beneficio de Minas, and negotiations regarding the production efficiency bonus—which had been the trigger for the conflict—have officially resumed.

Orla Mining reaffirmed its gold production target for the Camino Rojo mine for fiscal year 2026, expecting output between 110,000 and 120,000 ounces. The company stated that this forecast assumes no further disruptions in the mining and processing chain.

President and CEO Jason Simpson expressed welcome to the returning employees and thanked the union and Mexican labor authorities for their cooperation in resolving the issue. He reiterated the company's commitment to reaching a mutually beneficial agreement with the support of federal labor authorities.

Orla Mining's strategic core focuses on the acquisition, development, and operation of high-value assets. The company currently holds full ownership of three projects, with Camino Rojo being one of two open-pit gold-silver mines in operation in Zacatecas, utilizing heap leach processing, and its underground section still holds significant development potential.
