Insights

Fairfax trims its Orla Mining position but remains a major 20.3% holder.

Fairfax Financial Holdings and affiliated entities disclose that they sold 25,000,000 Orla Mining shares at CDN$17.6435 each for aggregate proceeds of about CDN$441.1 million. This is framed as part of a portfolio rebalancing, which is a common reason for large institutional trades and does not by itself state any change in their view of the company.

After the sale, the group reports beneficial ownership of 78,074,283 shares, or 20.3% of Orla’s common stock, calculated on 339,896,220 shares outstanding as of November 11, 2025 (including assumed conversion or exercise of Fairfax-held convertible notes and warrants). Voting and dispositive power are shared across multiple Fairfax and Allied World entities, but aggregate control levels remain clearly above typical passive thresholds.

The filing also states that while there are no present plans to sell additional Orla securities, Fairfax-related entities may choose to buy or sell more shares based on price, market conditions, funding, and alternative opportunities. Subsequent ownership updates in future beneficial ownership filings will provide clarity if Fairfax makes further meaningful changes to its Orla position.
