Q: I have done a little bit of work on Orla Mining. It came on my radar when I saw their heaps of paydirt at the Camino Rojo mine in Zacatecas, Mexico (You can see the operation from the highway that connects Saltillo with the city of Zacatecas). That mine seems to have very low operating costs and even a partial pitwall collapse last year did not seem to hurt ORLA too much. What I didn't know is that they bought the Musselwhite Gold mine north of Thunder Bay from Newmont. Apparently Newmont wasn't interested in Musselwhite (too small for them) so there was very little capital spent at that mine. Orla saw potential at Musselwhite, bought the mine and started to invest. The processing plant at Musselwhite was running way below name plate capacity due to a lack of mined ore Orla has located more ore and has been using the mill at a much higher capacity and low and behold they are making money. To me that demonstrated a smart management team. And since Orla is now a two mine miner (with one mine in Canada and the other in Mexico) I am considering a position in ORLA. But what is your opinion of Orla and if you were to do a deeper dive on Orla what would you be looking for/at?
