Guerrero strengthens collaboration with Equinox Gold and local communities to unlock the Los Filos Mine and facilitate US$340 million in new investment.

HERMOSILLO, SONORA, November 4, 2025 — The state of Guerrero is taking concrete steps to unlock the full potential of the Los Filos gold‐and-silver operation and support the deployment of an estimated US$340 million in new mining investment in the region.

Provincial officials report that sustained dialogue with local communities, the operator Equinox Gold Corp. and federal agencies has yielded a new agreement framework aimed at resuming and scaling mine operations. As part of the process, the state has reaffirmed its commitment to responsible mining practices, community collaboration and environmentally-sound development.

The agreement includes:

• A formal convention signed between Equinox Gold, local ejidos and municipal stakeholders, strengthening participatory mechanisms and benefit-sharing for the communities of Eduardo Neri and neighbouring municipalities.
• Government oversight to ensure compliance with environmental, labor and social-impact obligations, thereby providing clarity and confidence for investment release and project expansion.
• A pathway for the US$340 million investment package (covering exploration, mine‐site infrastructure, environmental‐control systems and expansion works) to be unlocked as pending conditions are satisfied.

“Our objective is to align Guerrero’s rich mining potential with community welfare and sustainability,” said the state’s secretary of economic development. “With effective cooperation among the company, the government and local stakeholders, Los Filos can resume full activity, generate jobs and contribute directly to regional development.”

As progress continues, the state government expects to publish a comprehensive roadmap detailing key milestones, investment phasing, job-creation targets and monitoring mechanisms before year-end.
