This followed gold’s climb to the $4,900 level—a new record high, as precious metals, which are typically treated as safe assets, continued to attract investor interest amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties between the US and its neighboring countries.

Sentiment was further supported by news earlier in the week that it exceeded its total production target last year, ending at 300,620 ounces versus its guidance of 265,000 to 285,000 ounces.

The strength of our diversified portfolio was clearly demonstrated in the second half of 2025, driven by outstanding execution by our operations teams in Mexico and Canada,” said Orla Mining Ltd.
