Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited – United States dollars, unless otherwise stated). All currency figures in tables are in thousands, except per-share amounts)

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. The “Company”, “Orla”, “we”, and “our” refer to Orla Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 202, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties, and holds the Camino Rojo gold and silver project in Zacatecas State, Mexico, and the Cerro Quema gold project in Panama.

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’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months involves significant judgment. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and may require further financings.

Historically the Company's primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash through prospectus offerings and private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. We have successfully raised equity and debt financing in many of the past few years, in the form of equity financings, the exercise of warrants and options, and debt. While we believe that this success will continue, our access to exploration and construction financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to sources of significant equity or debt funding until we can generate cash from operations. Subsequent to the reporting period, we completed a $35 million (C$43 million) equity financing. We expect to fund operating costs of the Company over the next twelve months with cash on hand. After considering our plans to mitigate the going concern risk, we have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the balance sheet date.

Since the beginning of 2020, there has been a global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which has had an impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the governments in the various jurisdictions where the Company conducts its activities. In common with all businesses in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our activities are restricted by government orders related to, among others, travel, business operations, and stay-at-home orders. As at June 30, 2021 and as of the date of these financial statements, mining and construction are permitted economic activities in the respective jurisdictions and the sites are operating in compliance with the country specific and Company requirements. We are monitoring the potential impacts from the pandemic on areas including equipment delivery and logistics, materials for construction and operation, other necessities, as well as construction costs and schedule, and community and government relations. Delays to construction, permit amendments and exploration programs may occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding the Company having taken steps to minimize potential impacts to the projects including additional costs related to COVID-19 safety measures.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION

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 August 5, 2021, the Board of Directors approved 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 annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

We applied the same accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except as noted here. 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 annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(a)Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”): Proceeds before Intended Use

In the process of constructing or making property, plant and equipment (including a mine) available for its intended use, we may produce and sell products generated by this PP&E. Under new accounting standards, proceeds from selling products before the related PP&E is available for use should be recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those products. We measure the cost of those products in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories”. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early application permitted. We are currently assessing the effect of this new standard.

4.MINERAL PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION
(a)Camino Rojo Project

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 called Newmont Corporation). A 2% net smelter return royalty (the “Royalty”) on the sale of all metal production from the oxide material at Camino Rojo was granted to Newmont as part of the acquisition. The Royalty was subsequently acquired by Maverix Metals Inc. on October 29, 2020.

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, Newmont would be entitled to a 2% net smelter return royalty on metals produced from the sulphide material.

The Company has received all permits and satisfied all conditions for the construction of a mine at Camino Rojo. Effective November 30, 2020, we reclassified this project to mineral properties under development and construction.

In December 2020, the Company entered into a Layback Agreement with Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”) and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Layback Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Fresnillo total cash consideration of US$62.8 million in staged payments until December 2023 (note 12). The closing of the Layback Agreement occurred in February 2021. The Layback Agreement allows Orla to expand the Camino Rojo Project oxide pit onto part of Fresnillo’s mineral concession located immediately north of Orla’s property. As a result, Orla has access to oxide and transitional heap leachable mineral resources on Orla’s property below the open pit outlined in the 2019 Technical Report. The Layback Agreement provides Orla with the right to mine from Fresnillo’s mineral concession, and recover for Orla’s account, all oxide and transitional material amenable to heap leaching that are within an expanded open pit.

5.MINERAL PROPERTIES

The Company’s mineral properties consist of the Cerro Quema Project, and the Monitor Gold Project. The Camino Rojo Project is classified under Mineral Properties Under Development and Construction (see note 4).

(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 these 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. 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.

Subsequent to the reporting period, the Company published the results of a Pre-Feasibility Study on the Cerro Quema Project. Refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis for the period ended June 30, 2021 for further details.

(b)Monitor Gold Project

The Monitor Gold Project consists of three separate option agreements consisting of 422 claims covering 3,416 hectares in Nye County, Nevada, USA.

In 2021, the payments required under the option agreements consist of $150,000 in share issuance (issued), $60,000 in advance royalty payments (paid), and $125,000 in work commitment (completed). To maintain the option agreements in good standing, minimum payments and work commitments are required each year until 2038.

7.VALUE ADDED TAXES (“VAT”) 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 amount and timing of refunds is uncertain. Accordingly, we have classified Mexican value added taxes recoverable as long term.

The IVA recoverable amounts include IVA paid on the acquisition of the Camino Rojo project ($3.6 million) in 2017 and the acquisition of the Layback Area ($4.0 million) in 2021. The remainder relates to operating and construction costs from 2017 to date.

10.CAMINO ROJO 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 US$125 million for the development of the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Project (the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility provides a total of US$125 million to the Company, available in three tranches, to be used for the development of the Camino Rojo project, funding a portion of the Layback Agreement (note 4(a)), and normal course corporate purposes. The Company has drawn the first tranche of US$25 million, the second tranche of US$50 million and the third tranche of US$50 million on December 18, 2019, October 30, 2020, and April 27, 2021, respectively. No further advances are available under this Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is denominated in United States dollars, and bears interest at 8.80% per annum, payable quarterly commencing March 31, 2020, and is secured by all the assets of the Camino Rojo Project and the fixed assets of the Cerro Quema Project. The principal amount is due upon maturity at December 18, 2024, with no scheduled principal repayments prior to maturity. The Company may prepay the loan, in full or in part, at any time during the term without penalty, by using cash flow from operations. The Credit Facility does not impose on the Company any mandatory requirements of hedging, production payments, offtake, streams, or royalties.

On December 18, 2019, the Company issued 32.5 million common share purchase warrants (with an exercise price of C$3.00 per warrant and expiry date of December 18, 2026) to the lenders in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility.

Commencing December 1, 2020, we capitalized the interest on this loan to mineral properties under development and construction. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we capitalized $5.2 million (year ended December 31, 2020 - $0.7 million) (note 4).

11.NEWMONT LOAN

As part of the Company’s acquisition of the Camino Rojo project from Newmont, Newmont agreed to provide interest-free loans to the Company for all the annual landholding costs on the Camino Rojo project from November 2017 until December 31, 2019. The loans are to be repaid upon declaration of commencement of commercial production of a heap leach operation at the Camino Rojo Project. To the date of these financial statements, 219,446,000 Mexican pesos had been advanced by Newmont under this agreement. No further advances in respect of this loan are expected.

Because the loan is non-interest bearing, for accounting purposes at the date of each advance, we discount the expected payments using a risk-adjusted discount rate and an estimated repayment date. As at June 30, 2021, we reclassified this loan to current, from long term.

12.FRESNILLO OBLIGATION

Pursuant to the terms of the Layback Agreement (note 4(a)), we agreed to pay Fresnillo total cash consideration of US$62.8 million through a staged payment schedule:

i.US$25 million upon closing of the transaction (paid February 22, 2021);
ii.US$15 million upon the earlier of December 1, 2022, and 12 months following the commencement of commercial production at the Camino Rojo Project; and
iii.US$22.8 million upon the earlier of December 1, 2023, and 24 months following the commencement of commercial production at the Camino Rojo Project.

The amounts payable after February 22, 2021 bear interest at 5% per annum, payable quarterly. We capitalize the interest on this loan to “Mineral Properties under Development and Construction”. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we capitalized $0.7 million (year ended December 31, 2020 - nil) (note 4).

20.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 the Mexican project, the Panamanian project, and the corporate office. The projects are each managed by a dedicated General Manager and management team. Additionally, the corporate office oversees the plans and activities of early stage exploration projects, such as the Monitor Gold project.

None of these segments yet generate revenue from external customers. The Mexican project is currently in construction and is expected to generate revenue in 2022 while the Panamanian project is focused on the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties.

(b)Geographic segments

We conduct our activities in four geographic areas: Mexico, Panama, the United States, and Canada.

21.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

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

We manage our capital structure and adjust it in light of 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. In order to prudently manage our uses of capital until we can generate revenue, we do not currently pay dividends.

At the end of 2019, we entered into a $125 million project loan (note 10) in respect of the Camino Rojo project pursuant to which we had drawn $125 million as of June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $75 million). The project loan requires us to maintain a minimum working capital (adjusted for certain items) of $5 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into participating forward contracts for the purchase of Mexican pesos for the construction of the Camino Rojo Mine in order to decrease our exposure to adverse movements in the peso during the construction phase (see note 22(b)).

Other than entering into these peso forward contracts, there were no changes to our policy for capital management during the period ended June 30, 2021.

Our investment policy is to invest the Company’s excess cash in low risk financial instruments such as term deposits and savings accounts with major Canadian banks. By using this strategy, the Company preserves its cash resources and is able to 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.

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 other investors. We regularly review and consider financing alternatives to fund the Company’s ongoing exploration and development activities until these activities can be funded from ongoing cash flow from our mining operations.

22.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. We have no financial assets or liabilities included in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

We determine whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

At June 30, 2021, the carrying values and fair values of our financial instruments by category were as follows:

         Fair value
   Classification 

Carrying

  Quoted prices in active market for identical assets

The fair value of the Camino project loan at June 30, 2021 was estimated at $117.5 million (December 31, 2020 - $66.4 million) using a discount rate of 10.8% (December 31, 2020 - 10.8%). The fair value of the Newmont loan at June 30, 2021 was estimated at $10.2 million (December 31, 2020 - $9.9 million) using an exchange rate of 19.80 MXN/USD (December 31, 2020 - 19.95 MXN/USD) and a discount rate of 11.2% (December 31, 2020 - 10.5%).

(b)Derivative financial instruments

The Company entered into participating forward contracts for the purchase of Mexican pesos for use during the construction of the Camino Rojo Mine. The individual contracts mature monthly from April 2021 to December 2021. At June 30, 2021, the aggregate notional amount of these contracts was US$25,200,000 and the aggregate committed amount was US$12,600,000. The weighted average strike rate was 20.35 Mexican pesos per 1 US dollar.

We estimated the fair value of these contracts as an asset of $450,000 as at June 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - nil). We recognized them as a derivative asset and have included in “Other gains” in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

We have classified these as FVTPL.

23.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a)Commitments

The Company has issued purchase orders for construction of the Camino Rojo mine. At June 30, 2021, these outstanding purchase orders totaled approximately $31,981,000 (December 31, 2020 - $49,050,000), which we expect will be filled in the next 12 months.
