1. CORPORATE INFORMATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Orla Mining Ltd. was incorporated in Alberta in 2007 and was continued into British Columbia in 2010 and subsequently into Ontario under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) in 2014. In 2016, the Company was continued as a federal company under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The "Company", "Orla", "we", and "our" refer to Orla Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 1010, 1075 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and exploitation of mineral properties, and holds the Camino Rojo gold and silver mine in Zacatecas State, Mexico, Cerro Quema gold project in Panama, and the South Railroad and Lewis gold projects in Nevada, USA.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. The Company declared commercial production at Camino Rojo, effective April 1, 2022.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance and basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 «Interim Financial Reporting» and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements.

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

We applied the same accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those applied in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as noted herein. In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements we made in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(a) Change in functional currency

As a result of the continued advancement of Camino Rojo and the resulting changes in underlying transactions, events, and circumstances, we reassessed the functional currency of Minera Camino Rojo SA de CV. We determined that the functional

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited - United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

currency of Minera Camino Rojo SA de CV is the United States dollar. Consequently, the functional currency for this subsidiary changed from Mexican pesos to United States dollars effective January 1, 2022. This change in functional currency has been applied prospectively effective January 1, 2022.

(b) Forthcoming requirements

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent provides a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. The amendments are for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

We are reviewing the amendments listed above and have not yet concluded the potential effects of these amendments on our financial position, changes in financial position, and results of operations.

4. REVENUE

Camino Rojo was under commissioning during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company declared commercial production at Camino Rojo, effective April 1, 2022.

11. VALUE ADDED TAXES RECOVERABLE

Our Mexican entities pay value added taxes (called "IVA" in Mexico) on certain goods and services we purchase. Value added taxes paid in Mexico are fully recoverable. However, IVA recovery returns in Mexico are subject to complex filing requirements and detailed audit or review by the fiscal authorities. Consequently, the timing of receipt of refunds is uncertain. The Mexican tax authorities began issuing payments on these IVA claims to the Company in November 2021.

We have used judgement in classifying the current and non-current portions of our Mexican VAT receivables. Factors considered include the regularity of payments received since receiving the first payment, communication from the Mexican tax authorities with respect to specific claims and the expected length of time for refunds in accordance with Mexico's regulations. Of the long term portion, approximately $4.2 million (December 31, 2021 - $3.4 million) is under dispute with the taxation authorities.

12. ACQUISITION OF GOLD STANDARD VENTURES CORP.

On August 12, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Gold Standard Ventures Corp ("Gold Standard") through a plan of arrangement (the "Transaction"). On closing of the Transaction, shareholders of Gold Standard received 0.1193 ("Exchange Ratio") Orla shares plus C$0.0001 cash per each Gold Standard share. This resulted in total cash consideration paid of $28,000 and the issuance of 43,688,556 Orla common shares to Gold Standard shareholders. Gold Standard stock options that were outstanding at August 12, 2022 were exchanged for stock options to acquire Orla shares ("Replacement Options") at the Exchange Ratio, resulting in the issuance of 1,758,334 Replacement Options. We accounted for this acquisition as a purchase of assets. Accordingly, we allocated the sum of consideration paid and transaction costs incurred to the net assets acquired based on relative fair values.

The purchase consideration was calculated follows:

Cash consideration $28
Estimated fair value of 43,688,556 common shares issued by the Company 149,363
Estimated fair value of 1,758,334 Replacement Options issued by the Company 1,647
Transaction costs 3,019
Total purchase price $154,057

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Cash and cash equivalents $1,821
Restricted cash (pursuant to environmental bonding) 2,704
Receivables and other assets 2,170
Right of use assets 117
Trade and other payables (3,524)
Lease liabilities (117)
Asset retirement obligations (1,603)
Subtotal 1,568
Mineral properties – Nevada 152,489
Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net $154,057

The fair value of Orla common shares issued was determined using the Company's share price of C$4.36 on the date of closing of the Transaction and the exchange rate of 1.2741 CAD/USD.

Each Replacement Option gives the holder rights to acquire common shares of the Company. The exercise price of the Replacement Options was determined by dividing the exercise price of the Gold Standard stock options by the Exchange Ratio. The full option value of the Replacement Options was accounted for as consideration, and no future compensation expense will be recorded with respect to the Replacement Options as there will be no significant continuing employment by the holders of the Replacement Options.

The fair value of the Replacement Options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Exercise price – various prices ranging from C$4.78 to C$18.87; Share price at issuance date – C$4.36; Expected volatility – 45%; Expected life – 1.9 years; Risk free interest rate – 3.3% and expected dividends – nil.

On issuance, the weighted average fair value of the Replacement Options was C$0.58.

13. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The Camino Rojo Project lies 190 km NE of the city of Zacatecas, 48 km S-SW of the town of Concepcion del Oro, and 54 km S-SE of Newmont Corporation's ("Newmont") Peñasquito Mine.

In November 2017, we acquired the Camino Rojo Project, a gold and silver oxide heap leach project located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, from Goldcorp Inc. (now, Newmont Corporation). A 2% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") on the sale of all metal production from the oxide material at Camino Rojo is payable.

The Company and Newmont also entered into an option agreement regarding the potential development of sulphide operations at Camino Rojo. Pursuant to the option agreement, Newmont will, subject to the applicable sulphide project meeting certain thresholds, have an option to acquire a 60% or 70% interest in the applicable sulphide project ("Sulphide Option"). The Royalty excludes revenue on the sale of metals produced from a sulphide project. However, should Newmont decide not to elect to acquire an interest in an applicable sulphide project, or if an applicable sulphide project does not meet certain threshold, Newmont would be entitled to a 2% net smelter return royalty on metals produced from the sulphide material.

In February 2021, the Company completed a Layback Agreement with Fresnillo plc ("Fresnillo") and certain of its subsidiaries which allows Orla to expand the Camino Rojo mine oxide pit onto part of Fresnillo's mineral concession located immediately north of Orla's property. The Company agreed to pay Fresnillo total cash consideration of $62.8 million in staged payments (note 22).

In December 2020, we commenced construction of the oxide gold mine and on April 1, 2022, we declared commercial production at Camino Rojo.

Determining when a mine under construction is substantially complete and ready for its intended use requires significant judgement. Some of the criteria we used to make that determination for the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine included:

  • completion of all major capital expenditures to bring the mine to the condition necessary for steady state operation,
  • completion of a reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment,
  • ability to produce saleable product (ie, the ability to produce metal within specifications),
  • transfer of the mine from the construction group to operating personnel,
  • mine and plant reaching a pre-determined percentage of design capacity,
  • metal content (the grade) of ore being mined sufficiently consistent with the mine plan,
  • mineral recoveries being at or near the expected production level,
  • ability to sustain ongoing production of metal.

No one factor was more important than any other factor; consequently, we considered these collectively to determine that the date of commencement of commercial production for the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine was April 1, 2022.

At September 30, 2022 $82,429 $ 152,803 $235,232

(a) Cerro Quema Project

The Cerro Quema Project is located on the Azuero Peninsula in Los Santos Province, Panama. The project is at the exploration and development stage for a proposed open pit mine with process by heap leaching. We own the mineral rights as well as the surface rights over the current mineral resource areas, proposed mine development areas, and priority drill target areas.

The original 20-year terms for the exploitation concessions expired in February and March of 2017. The Company has applied for the prescribed ten-year extension to these concessions as it is entitled to under Panamanian mineral law. In March 2017, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry provided written confirmation to the Company that the extension applications had been received and that exploration work could continue while the Company awaits renewal of the concessions. As of the date of these financial statements, final concession renewals have not been received and are still under review. In the absence of such renewals, construction or development activities of the Cerro Quema Project cannot proceed. However, we continue to receive ongoing drilling, water use, environmental and other permits, and have paid concession taxes, and issued the annual reports in the normal course.

The Company published the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study on the Cerro Quema Project entitled "Project Pre-Feasibility Updated NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Cerro Quema Project Province of Los Santos, Panama" dated January 18, 2022.

(b) Projects in Nevada, United States

We acquired the Monitor Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada in 2018. We acquired the South Railroad Project and the Lewis Gold Project in 2022 (note 12).

(i) South Railroad Project

The South Railroad project is located in Elko County, Nevada, USA.

Prior to its acquisition by Orla, the previous owners of the South Railroad Project entered into various agreements to acquire or lease certain claims, properties and surface rights subject to net smelter return royalties ("NSR") ranging between 1% and 5%. Certain of these claims are also subject to a 1.5% mineral production royalty. The agreements are subject to specific lease terms, extension options, back-in rights, buy down or purchase provisions, and work commitments.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited - United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

To maintain the agreements in good standing, minimum payments and work commitments are required each year as follows:

Total work Total lease
commitments payments Total
2022 $1,400 $1,117 $2,517
2023 1,300 1,070 2,370

2025 300 682 982
2026 300 694 994
$4,600 $4,245 $8,845

The Company and the previous owner have incurred approximately $1,000,000 of the required 2022 work commitments, and $492,000 of the required 2022 lease payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(ii) Lewis Gold Project

During the year ended December 31, 2017, Gold Standard acquired a 100% right, title and interest in mining claims located in the Battle Mountain Mining District in Lander County, Nevada, USA (the "Lewis Gold Project").

(iii) Monitor Gold Project

The Monitor Gold Project consists of three separate option agreements consisting of 491 claims covering 3,891 hectares in Nye County, Nevada, USA.

In 2022, the payments required under the option agreements consist of $80,000 in advance royalty payments (paid), and $175,000 in work commitments (completed in prior years). To maintain the option agreements in good standing, minimum payments and work commitments are required each year until 2038.

19. CAMINO ROJO PROJECT LOAN

(a) Project loan

In December 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Trinity Capital Partners Corporation ("Trinity Capital") and certain other lenders with respect to a credit debt facility of $125 million for the development of Camino Rojo (the "Project Loan").

The Project Loan provided a total of $125 million to the Company, available in three tranches. The Company drew down $25 million in December 2019, $50 million in October 2020, and $50 million in April 2021. The Project Loan was denominated in US dollars, and bore interest at 8.8% per annum, payable quarterly, and was secured by all the assets of Camino Rojo and the fixed assets of the Cerro Quema Project. The principal amount was due upon maturity at December 18, 2024.

On December 1, 2020, we commenced construction of the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine and began capitalizing the interest on this loan to "mineral properties under construction". On April 1, 2022, we commenced commercial production at the Camino

21. CREDIT FACILITY

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility consisting of a $100 million term facility and a $50 million revolving facility through a syndicate of lenders composed of The Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's present and future assets, property and all proceeds thereof other than present and future assets owned by Cerro Quema, which is excluded from the collateral. The proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to repay the existing Project Loan (note 19), with the balance of the revolving facility being available for general corporate purposes and working capital.

The Credit Facility consists of two parts:

    1. $100 million term facility with a five-year term, repayable in 18 equal quarterly instalments commencing December 31, 2022.
    1. $50 million revolving facility, with the ability to increase to $75 million, subject to certain conditions and customary consents. The revolving facility has a three-year term, with an option to extend the term of the revolving facility by up to one-year intervals, subject to certain conditions and customary consents. Full repayment of the revolving facility is due upon maturity.

The applicable interest rate for each Credit Facility will be based on the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.75% based on the Company's leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. The undrawn portion of the revolving facility is subject to a standby fee ranging from 0.6875% to 0.9375%. Until September 30, 2022, the Company was subject to an average interest rate of 4.9%. The Company may select interest periods of one, three or six months and interest is payable at the end of each interest period, or at a minimum every three months.

The Company may prepay all or any portion of the amounts owed under the credit agreement without penalty.

22. FRESNILLO OBLIGATION

Pursuant to the terms of the Layback Agreement (note 14(a)), we agreed to pay Fresnillo total cash consideration of $62.8 million through the following staged payment schedule:

  • i. $25 million upon closing of the transaction (paid February 22, 2021);
  • ii. $15 million on December 1, 2022; and
  • iii. $22.8 million on December 1, 2023

The amounts payable bear interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly. To March 31, 2022, we capitalized the interest on this loan to "Mineral properties and related construction". On April 1, 2022, we commenced commercial production at the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine and began to expense the interest on this obligation.

23. LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Company has lease contracts for mining equipment, vehicles and buildings. Leases of mining equipment have lease terms of five years, while vehicles and buildings generally have lease terms between three and five years.

In July 2021, we entered into a new lease agreement for the use of mining equipment in relation to contract mining at Camino Rojo for a period of five years. The Company makes fixed payments and additional variable lease payments depending on the usage of the assets during the contract period. On commencement of the lease, the Company recognized a $0.9 million rightof-use asset and a $0.5 million lease liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we made variable lease payments totaling $11.2 million (September 30, 2021 – $0.8 million) based on the usage of the mining equipment. We have

31. SEGMENT INFORMATION

(a) Reportable segments

The operating and reportable segments of the Company are based on the reports which are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in making strategic resource allocation decisions. These operating segments are (1) the Mexican project, (2) the Panamanian project, (3) the Nevada projects and (4) the corporate office. The operating segments other than corporate office are each managed by a dedicated General Manager and management team. The corporate office oversees the plans and activities of early stage exploration projects.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired Gold Standard Ventures Corp (note 12), which holds the South Railroad and Lewis projects. For segment reporting, these two projects were combined with the existing Monitor Gold Project and form a new reportable segment called the Nevada projects.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Camino Rojo declared commercial production, while the Cerro Quema Project in Panama, and the exploration projects in Nevada were focused on the exploration and evaluation of its mineral properties.

32. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

(a) Objectives

Our objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern to pursue the exploration, evaluation, development, and exploitation of our mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure.

We manage our capital structure and adjust it considering changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the Company's capital structure, we may issue new shares, take on additional debt or repay outstanding debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. We currently do not pay regular dividends.

Our ability to carry out our long-range strategic objectives in future periods depends on our ability to generate positive cash flows from our mining operations and to raise financing from lenders, shareholders, and new investors. We regularly review and consider financing alternatives to fund the Company's ongoing operational, exploration and development activities.

(b) Investment policy

Our investment policy is to invest the Company's excess cash in low-risk financial instruments such as demand deposits and savings accounts with major Canadian banks. By using this strategy, the Company preserves its cash resources and can marginally increase these resources with low risk through the yields on these investments. Our financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, which include currency risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

(c) Credit facility

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility which includes a $100 million term facility and a $50 million revolving facility pursuant to which we have drawn $130 million as of September 30, 2022. The agreement includes covenants customary for a facility of this nature, including compliance with customary restrictive covenants and financial covenants related to maintaining a leverage ratio at less than or equal to 3.00, an interest service coverage ratio at greater than or equal to 4, a tangible net worth greater than or equal to $151.6 million and minimum liquidity in an amount greater than or equal to $15 million. As at September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Fair value hierarchy

To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, we classify our financial instruments into the three levels prescribed by the accounting standards.

  • Level 1 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded equity securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices as at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the closing trading price on the reporting date. Such instruments are included in Level 1.
  • Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, we include that instrument in Level 2.
  • Level 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Credit Facility and Fresnillo obligation is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of the cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

The carrying value of the Credit Facility and Fresnillo obligation approximates the fair value as the discount rates on these instruments approximate the Company's credit risk.

At September 30, 2022, the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments by category were as follows:

Fair value
Carrying Short term Total fair
Classification value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 nature value

Cash and cash equivalents FVTPL $ 89,148 $ 89,148 $ $ $ $ 89,148

34. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Commitments

The Company has issued purchase orders for construction, equipment purchases, materials and supplies, and other services at Camino Rojo. At September 30, 2022, these outstanding purchase orders and contracts totaled approximately $3,916,000 (December 31, 2021 – $8,560,000), which we expect will be filled within the next 12 months.

The Company is committed to making severance payments amounting to approximately $4,000,000 (December 31, 2021 – $3,220,000) to certain officers and management in the event of a change in control. As the likelihood of these events occurring is not determinable, such amounts are not reflected in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

We may, from time to time, be a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against us, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(b) Discretionary mineral property-related commitments

As is customary in mineral exploration, some of the mineral properties held by the Company as exploration and evaluation assets have annual minimum work commitments and lease payments required to maintain these properties in good standing pursuant to their underlying agreements (note 15). We have not presented these as commitments due to their discretionary nature.
