Equinox Gold Corp. (TSXV: EQX) reports the first gold pour at its Aurizona mine in Brazil and also received a “license to operate,” which was the final operating permit for the mine, from the Maranhão State Environmental Agency. The first gold pour was a “significant milestone” for the company, says Christian Milau, chief executive officer. “That we accomplished this milestone with no lost-time injuries is another important achievement for the Aurizona team.” Equinox is producing gold from the Mesquite mine in California and should nearly double production this year when Aurizona begins operations, the company says on its website. Another significant increase is expected over the next few years with mine development at the Castle Mountain project in California.
