Orla sees Camino Rojo as ‘fantastic’ opportunity

The Camino Rojo oxide project, in Zacatecas, Mexico, is a “fantastic opportunity to develop a quality mine”, TSX-listed Orla CEO Jason Simpson said on Tuesday, announcing the results of the feasibility study for the project that once belonged to Goldcorp.

The study, prepared by a team of experts led by Kappes Cassiday and Associates, considers near-surface openpit mining of 44-million tonnes of oxide and traditional ore at a throughput rate of 18 000 t/d.
