Orla Mining was the only company to release results from drilling in Mexico during the week.
The release included results from 16 of 21 drill holes and 9,470 m drilled as part of the 2025 infill drilling program, and 7 drill holes and 5,278 m from the final portion of the 2024 program at its Camino Rojo property in Zacatecas.
The Camino Rojo deposit displays three continuous zones: 1) The Camino Rojo Oxide Deposit hosted in the Caracol Formation. 2) The Camino Rojo Sulfide Deposit also hosted by the Caracol Formation. 3) Zone 22, an extension of the Sulfide deposit hosted by the limestone-rich Indidura, Cuesta del Cura, La Peña and Cupido Formations. “Zone 22, the vertical and down-plunge extension of the Camino Rojo Sulphides, extends through multiple limestone-rich formations and remains open at depth …… Mineralization has been identified across all drilled units, with current drilling defining a zone 500 metres along strike, a horizontal thickness of 200 to 400 metres and extending from 700 to 1,300 metres in vertical depth below surface”.
Mineralization has intermediate sulfidation epithermal characteristics on the upper reaches of the deposit in the clastic Caracol Formation, and of a distal oxidized gold skarn on the limestone bearing underlying sedimentary Formations.
An exploration drift for early 2026 has been proposed to enable tighter-spaced underground drilling to further refine resource definition on the Zone 22.
