At that point, Valentine is expected to produce between 175,000 and 200,000 ounces of gold annually for the first 12 years of its 14-year reserve life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hall said new leadership and technical expertise support the continued ramp-up at Greenstone. Bryan Wilson has been appointed vice president of Operations, effective September 3. He was previously vice president of Operations at IAMGOLD&#8217;s C\u00f4t\u00e9 gold mine. Equinox Gold has also welcomed Roger Souckey as director, External Relations, who will lead stakeholder and community relations at Greenstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The company has also strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Daniella Dimitrov as executive vice president of Sustainability, People &amp; Strategy,\u201d said Hall. \u201cWith more than 25 years of leadership experience in strategy, finance, and governance, Daniella adds valuable expertise that will advance our vision of building a top-quartile gold producer anchored by long-life Canadian mines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equinoxgold.com\/\"><em>Equinox Gold<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Equinox Gold has provided an update on its cornerstone Canadian mining operations: the Valentine gold mine in Newfoundland &amp; Labrador and the Greenstone gold mine in northern Ontario. &#8220;I am pleased to announce that our Valentine gold mine has begun processing ore through its 2.5-million-tonne-per-annum facility.
