During the second half of the year, we’re looking forward to increasing exploration, increasing cash flow through our milling arrangement with Hecla and continuing to implement operational improvements at Platosa.”

Equinox Gold will continue to focus on advancing the Aurizona Gold Mine and Castle Mountain Gold Mine to production while Solaris Copper explores and develops the copper projects to unlock the value of the copper portfolio.
