Equinox Gold expansion and market demand

Overview

Equinox Gold is expanding its operations amid rising global gold demand. Following a merger with Orla Mining, the company is positioning itself for growth as central bank purchases drive a trend where global gold demand reached 2,522 tonnes in the first half of 2026.

In Nevada, the company has secured federal approval for its South Railroad Project in the Carlin Trend. The US Bureau of Land Management finalized the permitting process for the open-pit, heap-leach operation. The project is expected to produce an average of 100,000 ounces of gold annually, with output potentially reaching 130,000 ounces during the first five years. Mining activities are projected to begin in spring 2027, with the first gold pour scheduled for 2028.
