High grade drilling results strengthen confidence in significant resource growth and mine life extension

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX:OLA, NYSE:ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on continued exploration success at the Musselwhite Mine, with drilling confirming high grade gold mineralization extends two kilometers beyond current underground operations.

Since the October 6 update, announcing initial discovery of the mine trend extension, the Company's aggressive, multifaceted drilling campaign has delivered consistent high-grade results across all priority zones, strengthening confidence in significant resource growth potential and extended mine life.

New Exploration Highlights:

Continued Mine Trend Extensions Confirmation: Significant gold mineralization intersected two kilometres down plunge of current operations, returning 5.0 metres at 5.57 g/t Au incl. 1.0 m at 8.79 g/t Au (25-NSD03-002W).
Additional underground resource growth: Multiple high-grade underground intersections from the Redwings, Lynx, West Limb and PQE Zones continue to support production and growth, including 9.0 metres at 22.1 g/t Au (25-LNX-009) and 15.0 metres at 10.1 g/t Au (25-LNX-041).
Continued near-mine satellite drilling success: Shallow high-grade mineralization confirmed at near-mine satellite targets, including 1.2 metres at 43.8 g/t Au incl. 0.4 m at 129 g/t Au (25-KAZ-007).

"Since our October 2025 update, the Musselwhite exploration program has continued delivering a steady stream of high-grade intercepts across all priority zones. These results strengthen confidence in resource growth and the outlook for extended mine life. We will carry the momentum with all priority exploration programs initiated in 2025 continuing through 2026."

Deep Directional Drilling Confirms Two-Kilometre Mine Trend Extension, Potential Upper and Lower Zones

The 2025–2026 deep directional surface drill program is targeting the northwest down-plunge extension of the Mine Trend, testing approximately one to two kilometres beyond current operations through a planned 30-hole program. To date, 11,744 metres have been completed, with assay results received from eight holes. Planned drill metres have increased from 11,000 metres to approximately 12,500 metres by year-end 2025. This news release reports results from four additional holes completed since the October 6, 2025, results press release.

Mother Hole #3, Daughter-Hole #1: Confirms High Grade Two-Kilometres from Current Operations

Assays from Mother Hole #3 and its first daughter hole confirm the Mine Trend continues two kilometres beyond current operations, with a 400 metre step out from the previously reported 4.1 metres at 15.1 g/t Au (October 6, 2025, release).

5.0 metres at 5.57 g/t Au incl. 1.0 m at 8.79 g/t Au (25-NSD03-002W)

Mother Hole #2, Daughter Holes #1-2: Deep drilling suggests stacked mineralized zones

As previously reported in October, hole 25-NSD02-001 intersected high-grade gold, returning 4.1 metres at 15.1 g/t Au. Based on drill orientation and geological interpretation, this initial intersection is now believed to represent an extension of the Lynx Zone, rather than the PQ Zone. Both zones occur in the deeper portion of the mine, with the Lynx Zone representing an upper mineralized horizon and the PQ Zone occurring below.

Subsequent drilling since October included the completion of first and second daughter holes drilled deeper on the same section. These holes intersected lower-grade gold mineralization, returning 0.18 to 0.47 g/t Au over 2.0 to 3.5 metres, which is interpreted to represent a lower-grade interval situated between the upper Lynx Zone and the lower PQ Zone.

Further down-dip drilling planned through 2026 will target wider, higher-grade mineralization typical of the PQ Zone at depth. This evolving interpretation of stacked upper and lower mineralized zones remains under evaluation, but if confirmed, could represent material new information and meaningful upside potential for the broader extension area.

Mother Hole #1, Daughter Hole #2: 1.0 metre at 8.06 g/t Au incl. 0.4 m at 13.4 g/t Au (25-NSD01-003W)

Underground Drilling Results Reinforce Continuity and Identify More Extensions

The underground program has remained focused on the Redwings, Lynx, and PQE zones, with select drilling on the West Limb. The high-grade results support ongoing efforts to replace and expand resources and reserves. In 2025, 30,250 metres of drilling and 107 holes have been completed, with assays received for 63 of the holes. Notable intercepts include:

Lynx Zone:

9.0 metres at 22.1 g/t Au (25-LNX-009)
15.0 metres at 10.1 g/t Au incl. 3.3 m at 37 g/t Au (25-LNX-041)
2.8 metres at 13.2 g/t Au (25-LNX-048)

Redwings Zone:

6.2 metres at 15.8 g/t Au (25-RDW-049)

PQE Zone:

1.0 metres at 75.5 g/t Au (25-PQE-031)

West Limb Zone:

1.0 metres at 283 g/t Au (25-WEL-007)
0.9 metres at 94.6 g/t Au (25-WEL-003)

Near-Mine Surface Drilling Identifies Satellite Opportunities Proximal to Mill

The 6,500-metre near-mine surface program, completed in October, returned encouraging shallow intercepts across five targets, including a narrow high-grade intersection. Follow up drilling planned in early 2026 will advance the Camp Bay mineralized zone and a four-kilometre strike trend along the Musselwhite SE extension also known as "Karl Zeemal". Combined historical and new results support the potential for additional mill feed sources. Notable new results from these targets include:

Karl Zeemal:

1.2 metres at 43.8 g/t Au incl. 0.4 m at 129.0 g/t Au from 28.8 m downhole (25-KAZ-007)
3.1 metres at 2.56 g/t Au incl. 1.0 m at 6.34 g/t Au from 25 m downhole (25-KAZ-001)

Camp Bay:

1.2 metres at 4.78 g/t Au incl. 0.5 m at 7.64 g/t Au from 18.5 m downhole (25-CMP-005)
3.8 metres at 0.64 g/t Au from 12 m downhole (25-CMP-004)

2026 Planning to Target Continued Mine Trend Extension and Resource Expansion

Orla plans to advance the second year of its aggressive two-year exploration strategy in 2026, building on programs initiated in 2025. Efforts will target the Mine Trend Extension, underground resource and reserve growth, and selective near-mine satellite opportunities, supporting potential mine life extensions and future operational expansions. Further details on the 2026 exploration programs will be provided in early 2026.

True width estimated where orientation of geological control on gold mineralization is certain.

Additional Technical Information

All mineralized interval lengths reported are down-hole intervals, with true width estimates ranging from 30-100% for the reported interval. True widths are not estimated in cases where there is insufficient geological control on gold mineralization. See Tables 1 to 3 in the Appendix of this news release for estimated true widths of individual composites. A minimum sampling length of 0.30 m is used for both underground and surface drilling. The reported composites were not subject to "capping" of high grades. Orla believes that applying a top cut would have a negligible effect on overall grades.

Qualified Persons Statement

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Sylvain Guerard, P Geo., SVP Exploration of the Company, who is the Qualified Person as defined under the definitions of National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101").

To verify the information related to the 2025 drilling program at Musslewhite Mine, Mr. Guerard has visited the property in October 2025, discussed logging, sampling, and sample shipping processes with responsible site staff, discussed and reviewed assay and QA/QC results with responsible personnel, and reviewed supporting documentation, including drill hole location and orientation and significant assay interval calculations.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control – 2025 Drill Program and Historical Drilling

Gold results at Musselwhite were obtained at ALS Canada Inc. ("ALS") or SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") using fire assay fusion and an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish (ALS: Au-AA23, SGS: GE_FAA30V5). If samples returned gold values greater than 10 ppm, samples are re-run with gold by fire assay and gravimetric finish (ALS: Au-GRA21, SGS: GO_FAG30V). Gold results were also obtained at ALS using PhotonAssay^TM on two aliquots of 500g of crushed sample (ALS: Au-PA01).

Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) and interpretation of results were performed by qualified persons employing a QAQC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. For Fire Assay analyses, standards were inserted at a frequency of four in every 100 samples, and blanks were inserted at a frequency of four in every 100 samples.

ALS and SGS are both independent of Orla. ALS is an ISO-17025 accredited laboratory for photon assay methods. There are no known drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the drilling data at Musselwhite.
