  • Orla Mining Falls 14% After Camino Rojo Expansion Approval and 2026 Outlook Update
    March 22, 2026, 2:59 AM EDT. Orla Mining (TSX:OLA) shares fell 14.2% following its release of audited 2025 results and updated 2026 production guidance. The company reported 95,405 ounces of gold produced in Q4 and 300,620 ounces for the full year, with sales hitting US$1.06 billion. A key development was full environmental approval for an expanded open-pit and underground exploration at the Camino Rojo mine in Mexico, reducing regulatory risks and enabling a revised mine plan. While the approval supports near-term production growth, investors face execution risks related to costs and geotechnical factors. Forecasts include $1.4 billion revenue and $722 million earnings by 2028, implying substantial growth. Optimistic analysts expect faster expansion, though consensus remains cautious. The stock's fair value estimates range between CA$28.22 and CA$31.86, indicating upside potential amid execution uncertainties.
