On July 22, Equinox Gold Corp. rose 6.07% in regular trading, trading at $9.585/share, with turnover of $30.79 million.
The rally was driven by a sharp increase in gold prices, with February gold futures climbing $16.5 to $4,344.8 per ounce, supported by a weakening US dollar index and strong technical buying. Additionally, proxy advisory firm ISS previously recommended that both Equinox Gold and Orla Mining shareholders vote in favor of the proposed merger, which upon completion would create a North American gold producer with approximately 1.1 million ounces of annual production and an implied market capitalization of roughly $18.5 billion.
On the operational front, the company reported Q2 gold production of 176,836 ounces, maintaining its full-year guidance of 700,000 to 800,000 ounces. Year-to-date production totaled 374,464 ounces. Within the Gold sector, the broader group advanced, with Coeur Mining up 5.26%, Agnico Eagle Mines up 4.22%, Newmont Mining up 3.66%, Barrick Mining up 3.33%, and Pan American Silver up 3.22%.
