**Orla Mining Takes Action to Protect Labour Rights at Camino Rojo**

VANCOUVER, BC, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX: OLA) (NYSE: ORLA) ("Orla" or the "Company") announces concrete steps it has taken and is working to implement to safeguard labour rights and to address other concerns at its Camino Rojo gold mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. This follows a determination by a Panel established under the Rapid Response Labour Mechanism of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

"We are committed to promoting the safety and well-being of our employees and fully respecting their labour rights," said Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla Mining. "We acknowledge the seriousness of the Panel's findings and are taking action to strengthen Camino Rojo's operations."

In late March 2026, the CUSMA Panel issued its final determination concluding that there had been a denial of rights relating to freedom of association and collective bargaining at Camino Rojo. The Panel acknowledged remediation measures previously taken in coordination with the Government of Mexico and identified additional actions needed to strengthen labour rights protections at the mine.

The Company is engaging constructively with government authorities to address the Panel's recommendations, while ensuring continued compliance, operational stability, workers' safety, and respect for workers' rights.

**Actions Taken and Underway at Camino Rojo**

The following summarizes key actions Orla has taken to date and additional ones underway, aligned with the Panel's areas of recommendation. The Company will continue to evaluate further measures as appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Oversight, Accountability, and Governance:** Orla has
strengthened oversight of the mine through the appointment of a Director of Risk & Compliance at the corporate level and a new General
Manager at Camino Rojo, as part of broader efforts to enhance internal controls and accountability frameworks. The Company has enhanced
its internal reporting and investigation mechanisms to ensure concerns are escalated, properly investigated, and addressed promptly and
effectively through appropriate channels.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining:** Orla
is implementing a new Labour Rights Policy across the organization, reinforcing its commitment to freedom of association, collective bargaining,
and non-retaliation. The Company is also clarifying expectations for employees, contractors, and business partners through updated policies,
training and oversight processes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Neutrality in Union Matters:** The Company has issued
an updated neutrality letter reiterating its commitment to remain neutral in union representation matters and is taking steps to ensure
this commitment is consistently understood and applied across its operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Minority-Union Rights:** Orla is implementing measures
to safeguard minority-union rights in accordance with Mexican law, including facilitating access to the mine and establishing communication
channels with designated Company representatives, while preserving the current collective bargaining framework.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Security Enhancements:** Orla is enhancing onsite security
services and implementing additional measures to protect employees, contractors, and business partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Worker and Community Engagement:** Orla has communicated
directly with employees and community leaders regarding the Panel's determination and will continue to provide updates on additional steps
through further engagement by senior leadership.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Measures to Prevent Recurrence:** Orla has strengthened
internal controls, disciplinary and compliance systems, and training to reduce the risk of recurrence. The Company has also reaffirmed
its zero-tolerance policy toward interference with labour rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Training and Capacity Building:** Orla is expanding
training for management and employees on labour rights, compliance obligations, workplace conduct, and reporting mechanisms, including
mandatory certifications and sessions conducted by local labour authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Targeted Remediation Measures:** Orla is conducting
a structured, fact-based review of relevant employment matters to assess whether specific remedial action may be appropriate, to be carried
out on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Mexican law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Commitment to Continuous Improvement:** The Company
is committed to the continuous improvement of its governance, compliance, and security measures.

Additionally, as disclosed at the end of the second quarter in 2025, Orla identified evidence of potential criminal activity at the mine and engaged external counsel to conduct a thorough review, which has now been substantially completed. The Company voluntarily notified the Office of the Attorney General in Mexico, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Canada, and the Department of Justice in the United States and continues to cooperate with authorities.

Orla is committed to working safely and constructively within the communities in which it operates.
