South Railroad is thenext pillar in Orla's organic growth strategy toward annual gold production of 500,000 ounces. We thank the BLM, the Secretary of theInterior Burgum, and the US Administration for their continued support of American mineral development and production. We will work withour cooperating agencies to fast-track the timeline to onsite construction start, and ultimately first gold production."

South Railroad, 100% owned by Orla, is a low-complexity, feasibility-stage heap leach project. Orla plans to provide an update to South Carlin's mineral resource, mineral reserve estimate, and feasibility study for the Project in the fourth quarter 2025. The South Carlin Complex is located on a prospective 25,000-hectare land package, on the Carlin Trend, which provides opportunities for resource growth and new discoveries. The Company has already commenced detailed project engineering and will begin ordering long lead equipment this year to de-risk project development in anticipation of final permits in 2026. The Company has secured sufficient sage grouse credits and has outlined strategies to secure water rights needed for construction, operations, and reclamation.
