Jason Simpson, President of Equinox Gold, commented:

“The third quarter was transformational. We completed our combination with Orla, bringing together a portfolio of assets positioned to generate significant free cash flow and long-term value for shareholders.
.
“Equinox Gold is now an emerging senior gold producer anchored by three high-quality, long-life mines in Canada, with a standout pipeline of organic growth projects we expect to fund internally.
.
“Our combined Canadian operations delivered solid production in Q3, led by strong performance at Musselwhite and steady improvements at Valentine and Greenstone.
,
“At Valentine, our mining initiatives are working: Q3 mill feed grade averaged over 1.8 g/t, another incremental step-up. Both Valentine and Greenstone are positioned for stronger production through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.”
