$EQX Carrizalillo accepts regressive agreement for the lease of its lands to Equinox Gold
Chilpancingo, Guerrero, June 5, 2026 - The Carrizalillo assembly approved on Wednesday a regressive agreement for the lease of their lands to the transnational company Equinox Gold, operator of the Los Filos mine, in Eduardo Neri, under conditions of exhaustion, corporate pressure and vulnerability that did not allow them to endure any longer in the long struggle to improve the conditions of the agreements, reported the Ejido Council.
In a phone interview, members of the Ejido Council indicated that the company will resume work on the new CIL plant on July Ist. The plant has been shut down for over a year since the previous lease agreement expired on March 31, 2025, without any agreement for its immediate continuation. They anticipate that the new plant will begin open-pit operations in January 2027.
