Preparations to restart mining activities at the Los Filos mine, in Mexico, have been suspended, owing to the resumption of the blockade by members of the Carrizalillo community.

The company said in a statement on November 20 that it continued to communicate with the individuals and that it hoped to achieve a long-term solution.

Mining activities have been suspended since September 3, owing to a blockade by members of the nearby community, who allege noncompliance with the community social collaboration agreement signed in 2019.

On November 16, Equinox Gold announced that the community blockade had been removed and that it would restart operations, with a goal of achieving full production in December.
