Development Miner

Orla Mining is striving to be the emerging gold producer of choice with a geographically diversified asset base, a prospective development and exploration portfolio, an experienced management team with a successful track record, and a high-quality board and shareholder base. We are committed to creating and maintaining a culture of workplace diversity and recognize the benefits arising from employee diversity, respecting and valuing the perspectives, experiences, cultures, and essential differences that everyone possesses.

Orla operates the Camino Rojo Oxide Gold Mine, a gold and silver open-pit heap leach mine, located in Zacatecas State, Central Mexico. This low-cost operation is 100% owned by Orla, covers over 139,000 hectares, and includes a large sulphide mineral endowment located beneath the oxide resources. We are also advancing permitting on our South Railroad Project, a feasibility-stage, open-pit heap leach project located on the prolific Carlin trend in Nevada.

More recently, we’ve entered into an agreement with Newmont Corporation to acquire the Musselwhite Mine, located in Northern Ontario on Lake Opapimiskan. This project has great potential in a tier-one mining jurisdiction, and with more than 25 years of proven track record. This fly-in, fly-out operation will position Orla to double its annual gold production and provide us with excellent future opportunities. We expect this transaction to close in Q1 2025.

As part of our acquisition of Musselwhite Mine, we are recruiting for a Development Miner. This role will be based on-site and will be responsible to ensure processing and production targets and schedules are met as forecast. This role will report to the Development Supervisor and will be key to the success of the Mine Department.
