Dual-listed Orla Mining has declared commercial production at the Camino Rojo oxide-gold mine, in Mexico, effective April 1.

"In reaching commercial production at Camino Rojo, we have completed our transformation from explorer through developer to producer in three years,” said Orla president and CEO Jason Simpson.

The declaration of commercial production at Camino Rojo comes after a successful commissioning period, which included the ramp-up of mining and processing to sustained throughput levels in excess of 75% of designed nameplate capacity of 18 000 t/d.

The operation will continue to seek opportunities to improve and optimise the throughput and availabilities to achieve and ultimately exceed design nameplate capacities.

"Today, the team will celebrate this success but tomorrow we will focus on how to grow our production," commented Simpson.

Camino Rojo will produce an average of 94 000 oz/y of gold and 597 000 oz/y of silver.
