VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – March 6, 2017) – Orla Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLA) (“Orla” or the “Company”) provides an update on its wholly owned Cerro Quema Project located in Santos Province, Panama. Drilling commenced in mid January with one rig and six holes have been completed. Two additional rigs are in-country and are expected to be mobilized shortly. New drill holes have intersected high sulphidation style alteration similar to what is seen in the existing resource areas up to 400 metres from the proposed Quemita pit. Extensive hydrothermal brecciation with silica and vuggy silica alteration and oxidation levels up to 100 metres below surface may indicate potential for the discovery of additional centres of mineralization. Assay results are pending.
