Orla Mining Announces Appointment of New Chief Sustainability Officer

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Orla MiningLtd. (TSX: OLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Silvana Costa as the Company's new Chief Sustainability Officer, effective January 13, 2025. In this role, Dr. Costa will have executive level responsibility for Orla's Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts, in addition to guiding the Company's internal and external stakeholder relationships.

Orla's growth into an intermediate gold producer has been enabled by a strong commitment to sustainability and the integration of social responsibility into its decision-making process. This dedication to sustainability is reflected in the key role of the Chief Sustainability Officer which is positioned on Orla's executive team.

Dr. Costa brings over 20 years of experience across various roles within the mining industry. She began her career in Brazil before relocating to Canada, where she earned a Master's in Environmental Design and Planning from the University of Calgary and a PhD in Philosophy at the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Costa has held senior management positions at the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Petroleum Resources, as well as ESG leadership roles at companies such as Teck Resources, Equinox Gold, First Majestic Silver, and New Gold. Her commitment to the industry extends to work with organizations like the Association for Mineral Exploration (AME) British Columbia and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM). In recognition of her contributions, she received the 2022 AME Robert R. Hedley Award for Excellence in Environmental and Social Responsibility and was recently named one of the 2024 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining by Women in Mining UK.

Dr. Costa succeeds Chafika Eddine, who joined Orla in 2022 and has left the Company to pursue her doctoral studies and further her passion for advancing sustainability at a global level. The Company extends its sincere gratitude to Ms. Eddine who has been an integral part of Orla's leadership team, driving transformative initiatives that have strengthened the Company's commitment to responsible mining, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.

"We are pleased that Silvana has chosen to join the Orla team to continue and expand the work begun by Chafika to deliver positive benefits to all our stakeholders," said Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla. "I would like to thank Chafika for her contributions to Orla in establishing our Toward 2030 Sustainability Strategy and publishing our inaugural Sustainability Report in 2023, which were fundamental in laying the groundwork for our sustainability efforts," added Mr. Simpson.
