Equinox Gold's "Ride to Greenstone" fundraiser underway

Equinox Gold Corp. wished its cycling and support team good luck yesterday as they set off for the Ride to Greenstone, an epic 3,634 km bike relay from Vancouver, BC to Geraldton, Ontario, to celebrate the official opening of the company's new Greenstone Mine. 

The focus of the ride is to raise money for the Geraldton District Hospital, which serves a 2,767-km2 region in Northern Ontario including five Indigenous communities and the Greenstone Mine workforce. Equinox Gold's mine sites in California, Mexico and Brazil are sending cyclists to join this expedition and are also organizing a variety of events to raise money for charities in their local communities, bringing the Company's global workforce, contractors and suppliers together to support the communities in which we work.

Many thanks to the Ride to Greenstone Gold Sponsors - Sandstorm Gold Royalties, Cloutier Contracting, Franco-Nevada, Orion Resource Partners and Equinox Gold's Board of Directors - who each donated more than C$100,000 to the Geraldton District Hospital. To date the event has raised nearly C$1.2 million for the hospital and more than C$100,000 for schools and hospitals in Brazil and the Alzheimer's Association of California. Information on the seven charities and how to donate is available on the Ride to Greenstone website. 

Ross Beaty, Chair of Equinox Gold, commented: "The Ride to Greenstone highlights our commitment to the health and well-being of our team, emphasizing physical activity, team building and fun. Supporting community health and education is one of our top priorities as a company, and we are thrilled to see the entire Equinox Gold family of employees, contractors and suppliers coming together to raise money for the Geraldton District Hospital."
