Equinox Gold Announces First Gold Pour at Valentine Gold Mine

Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) announced the first gold pour at its Valentine Gold Mine in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, on September 14, 2025. The mine achieved this milestone earlier than expected, with mill throughput averaging 47% of nameplate capacity during the first 15 days of operation. The Valentine Gold Mine is expected to ramp up to its full capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year by Q2 2026. Once fully operational, Valentine will be Equinox Gold's second-largest mine and the largest gold mine in Atlantic Canada, producing between 175,000 and 200,000 ounces of gold annually for the first 12 years of its 14-year reserve life. The company is also exploring opportunities to increase production and extend the mine life, including a Phase 2 expansion.
