Equinox Gold has announced a transformational merger with Orla Mining that will create a major North American gold producer with a pathway toward nearly 2 million ounces of annual production. Ryan King, Executive Vice President of Capital Markets, joins Mining Stock Daily to discuss why the timing made sense for both companies, how institutional investors are responding to the increased scale, and the long-term growth pipeline anchored by Greenstone, Valentine, South Railroad, and Castle Mountain. The conversation also explores the operational ramp-up currently underway at Greenstone and Valentine, the strategic importance of Canadian and U.S. assets in today’s geopolitical environment, and how the combined company plans to sequence billions of dollars in future development projects while maintaining strong free cash flow generation.
