A commitment to open communication.
Equinox Gold’s commitment to upholding the highest industry standards includes a commitment to open communication with its investors and community partners.
Equinox Gold’s portfolio is anchored by production at its Mesquite Gold Mine in California and its Aurizona Gold Mine in Brazil, and production growth from development of its Castle Mountain Gold Mine in California. To expedite its objective of becoming a mid-tier gold producer, Equinox Gold is also reviewing opportunities to acquire new producing gold mines that fit with the Company’s portfolio.
Led by Ross Beaty as Chairman, Equinox Gold’s executives and directors have decades of exploration, construction, operations and project finance experience. Collectively the team has advanced more than 50 mines through construction and into production and built many successful resource companies.
Equinox Gold is producing gold from from its Mesquite Gold Mine in California and its Aurizona Gold Mine in Brazil, with the target of producing more than 230,000 ounces of gold in 2019. Production will grow by an additional ~45,000 oz/year in 2020 with Phase 1 production from the Castle Mountain Gold Mine in California, and expand again when Castle Mountain ramps up to ~200,000 oz/year with Phase 2 operations.
Equinox Gold has a broad shareholder base with strategic long-term shareholders and a balanced mix of institutional, high-net-worth and retail investors. Many of Equinox Gold’s executives and directors have personally invested in the company, aligning the interests of investors and Equinox Gold’s leadership team.
Equinox Gold is fully funded to advance its Aurizona Gold Mine to commercial production, optimize production at its Mesquite Gold Mine and advance its Castle Mountain project. The Company has a strong treasury, a corporate revolving credit facility, monetization potential from investments, and supportive long-term shareholders with access to capital to fund future growth.
With production underway at Mesquite, Aurizona ramping up to commercial production, Castle Mountain Phase 1 production targeted for H1-2020, and optimization and exploration planned for all three projects, Equinox Gold is focused on adding value on a number of fronts.
