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.”
