Equinox filed its business acquisition report for Orla Mining, confirming it acquired all Orla shares on July 31, 2026 by court-approved plan of arrangement. Each Orla share received 1.00 Equinox share plus US$0.0001 cash. Orla's projects are Camino Rojo (Mexico), Musselwhite (Ontario) and South Railroad (Nevada, feasibility stage), all 100% owned. Orla options remain outstanding, adjusted by the exchange ratio, and Orla will amalgamate with a wholly owned Equinox subsidiary. No valuation opinions were obtained. The financial statements follow in the filing but are not summarized here.
31 July 2026business combination▲ GoodMajor
Equinox and Orla Mining completed their business combination. The headline says the combined company is expected to produce 1.1 million oz of gold a year, with a path to more than 1.9 million oz from North American growth projects.

7 July 2026asset acquisition disposition● Neutral
Equinox announced a sale of shares of Versamet Royalties. The available text is only the cover and exhibit list, so the number of shares, price and buyer are not shown. It is an inference, not stated, that this relates to the royalty company Equinox launched in 2022 (Sandbox Royalties, 34% interest); the filing does not link them.
24 June 2026business combination● Neutral

Equinox filed technical reports for the Valentine and Greenstone gold mines; the Greenstone report is an SLR NI 43-101 report dated March 30, 2026. The excerpt is only the cover and exhibit list, so no reserve, production or cost figures appear.

19 Feb 2026business combination▲ GoodMajor
Equinox's headline for its year-end release describes a 'strategic merger', record production and revenue, portfolio optimization, more than US$1.1 billion of debt reduction and the inaugural dividend. Only the title is available (the text is a cover and exhibit list), so the merger partner and the figures are not shown.

23 Jan 2026asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
Equinox completed the sale of its Brazil operations for total cash of US$1.015 billion, used to repay more than US$800M of debt and cut net debt to US$150M. The filing text available is only the cover and exhibit list, so the buyer, the specific mines sold and other terms are not shown. It is an inference that this covers the Brazilian mines described earlier (Aurizona, Fazenda, RDM, Santa Luz). Debt falls sharply, but the company no longer holds those assets.
5 Feb 2025resource reserve update● Neutral
Equinox filed a technical report on the Fazenda gold mine in Brazil, dated January 31, 2025, along with consents from eight named experts. The excerpt is only the exhibit list and cover, so it gives no figures or resource numbers.
24 Apr 2024capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Equinox agreed to buy Orion's 40% of Greenstone for $995M, which would give it 100% of the mine, up from the 60% it held. Payment is 42.0M Equinox shares valued at $250M, $705M cash at closing and $40M cash by December 31, 2024. It will fund the cash with a new $500M three-year term loan and a bought-deal sale of 49,060,000 shares at $5.30 (about $260M). Shareholders are diluted and debt rises, in exchange for full ownership; closing is expected in Q2 2024. This follows the earlier Orion partnership and the Greenstone build, which the release says is in hot commissioning.
22 Feb 2023production update● NeutralMajor
Equinox reported 2022 production of 532,319 oz of gold at all-in sustaining costs of $1,622/oz, down from 602,110 oz in 2021. The year ended with a net loss of $106.0M ($0.35 per share), although Q4 alone had net income of $22.6M. It guides 2023 output to 555,000-625,000 oz at $1,575-1,695/oz AISC and says Greenstone was 65% complete at year end, with first gold still targeted for the first half of 2024. Year-end net debt was $627.3M and cash $200.8M. The release also records that the $100M at-the-market share program had issued 6,651,017 shares at an average $3.75 for $24.9M, and that Equinox sold the 11M Solaris shares for $51.9M and a further 4.5M in January 2023 for $20.0M. Greg Smith succeeded Christian Milau as CEO on September 1, 2022.
6 Dec 2022asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
Equinox sold 11,000,000 Solaris Resources shares in block trades on the TSX for gross proceeds of C$70.4 million. It held 15,545,487 shares plus warrants for 7,500,000 more beforehand; its stake is now under 10% (including any warrant exercise), it is no longer a reporting insider, and it agreed not to sell remaining Solaris securities for 120 days. This continues the Solaris holding from the April 2021 sale of the Solaris-related asset; it is also a stake reduction from the roughly 17.8 million shares expected earlier. Equinox calls itself a supportive shareholder with no current plans for further changes.
21 Oct 2022resource reserve update● Neutral
Equinox filed the full technical report for the Los Filos feasibility study announced October 19, 2022 (effective date June 30, 2022), voluntarily as a general update. It replaces the older 2018-era report filed in March 2022. The excerpt is only the cover letter, notices and table of contents, so it adds no new figures.
19 Oct 2022resource reserve update▲ GoodMajor
Equinox released an updated feasibility study for expanding Los Filos in Mexico by adding a 10,000 tonne-per-day carbon-in-leach plant ($318 million initial capital). Proven and Probable reserves rose 44% to 5.4 million oz, mine life would be 14.5 years at 280,000 oz a year (360,000 oz a year in 2025-2030), and after-tax NPV (5%) is $625 million with 26% IRR at $1,675/oz gold. Equinox has not approved construction and says any decision will weigh regional stability, markets and cost of capital, while it focuses on Greenstone and Castle Mountain permitting. These are company projections, not a commitment to build.
4 Oct 2022production update▲ GoodMajor
Equinox declared commercial production at Santa Luz in Brazil effective October 1, 2022, resolving the ramp-up that began with first gold on March 30, 2022. The mill is running at about 90% of its 7,400 tonnes-per-day design capacity, with about 23,000 oz of gold produced to September 30, 2022. That is below the 70,000-90,000 oz 2022 guidance range cited earlier, but the release does not restate guidance, so whether the range will be met is not stated.
28 July 2022debt financing▲ GoodMajor
Equinox amended its bank credit facility: the revolving portion rises from $400 million to $700 million ($300 million drawn at end of Q2 2022, $100 million drawn in July 2022), and the remaining $73 million of the term loan was rolled into it, so no principal payments are due through mid-2026. It also adds a $100 million uncommitted accordion, lowers pricing by 0.25%-0.50%, and extends maturity to July 28, 2026 (with a possible further one-year extension). This revises the March 2020 $500 million package; interest is now based on Term SOFR plus 2.25%-3.50% rather than LIBOR plus 3.25%. The CFO ties it to focus on building Greenstone.
31 May 2022regulatory community update● NeutralMajor
Equinox received approval for the tailings storage facility raise at its RDM mine in Brazil, with the contractor mobilizing to start in early June. The company expects full operations to resume by mid-July and will update RDM guidance with Q2 disclosures in the first week of August. This follows the earlier February-March plant suspension over tailings water levels, and implies RDM is not at full operations now; the release does not give the production impact. It refers to a May 16, 2022 press release that is not in this filing.
5 May 2022regulatory community update● Neutral
Equinox published its 2021 ESG (environmental, social and governance) report and launched an ESG website portal. It reports no fatalities, a recordable injury rate of 3.51 per million hours worked, no major environmental incidents, and a 5% cut in greenhouse gas emissions. An ESG stakeholder call is set for June 1, 2022. This is a sustainability disclosure with no direct financial or operating figures.
28 Apr 2022drilling result▲ Good
Equinox reported 2021 exploration results from the Bahia Belt in Brazil, which hosts its Fazenda and Santa Luz mines: 56,918 m drilled in 479 holes across 17 targets. Canto 2, next to Fazenda, had high-grade hits such as 69.0 g/t gold over 3.5 m. The company's land package grew by 323 square km to about 1,292 square km, and 2022 plans include over 70,000 m of drilling. An updated Fazenda resource and reserve statement including Canto 2 is planned for late 2022. These are drill results, not a resource estimate.

Equinox completed the sale of the Mercedes mine in Mexico to Bear Creek Mining, the deal announced December 17, 2021. It is receiving US$75 million now, a US$25 million deferred payment due within six months, a 2% net smelter return royalty and 24.73 million Bear Creek shares, which makes Equinox a significant Bear Creek shareholder. This closes the Mercedes thread, though the US$25 million is not yet received. The company now describes itself as having seven operating gold mines.
30 Mar 2022production update▲ GoodMajor
Equinox poured first gold at its new Santa Luz mine in Brazil, meeting the Q1 2022 first-pour target; the company says construction finished on time and on budget, and the mine should ramp up to commercial production over the next few months. Santa Luz is expected to produce 70,000-90,000 oz in 2022 and about 100,000 oz a year at capacity. The release also says RDM plant operations resumed March 14 after a suspension from February 26 to lower tailings dam water levels under a Brazilian legislative change, and that Greenstone first gold is targeted for the first half of 2024. It repeats that Mercedes is expected to be sold in April 2022.
