Illegal road blockade halts ops at Los Filos

Mining activities at Toronto-listed gold miner Equinox Gold have been suspended since September 3, owing to an illegal road blockade by member of the nearby Carrizalillo community.

The individuals allege noncompliance with the community social collaboration agreement signed in 2019, the company said on Friday.

Equinox Gold added that it was in discussions with the community leaders to resolve the issues.
