Orla Mining (TSX: OLA) has reiterated its 2026 production target at Camino Rojo, confirming that the open pit gold and silver operation is running again after an illegal blockade that had idled the site since the start of June.
The Company said the blockade has ended and operations have resumed, and that, barring further interruptions, it still expects the mine to produce 110,000 to 120,000 ounces of gold this year.
The stoppage began on June 1, when a group of unionized workers blocked access to the mine amid a dispute over productivity bonus payments, halting operations for several days.

A meeting on June 3 brought together the Sindicato de Beneficio de Minas, Mexico’s federal labour conciliation department and the Company. The labour authority ruled the blockade illegal and outside the collective bargaining framework, then directed union leadership to instruct members to clear the site.

Orla Mining last traded at $15.70 on the TSX.
