Equinox Gold is a 30% shareholder of i-80 Gold. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Christian Milau<\/span>, CEO of Equinox Gold, stated: &#8220;With Mercedes and <span class=\"xn-location\">Greenstone<\/span> in our portfolio, Equinox Gold now has eight operating mines and one of the largest gold reserves in our peer group, all in the mining-friendly jurisdictions of <span class=\"xn-location\">Ontario<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Mexico<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span>. We also have a strong, near-term growth profile with construction of our <span class=\"xn-person\">Santa Luz<\/span> mine underway, <span class=\"xn-location\">Greenstone<\/span> construction targeted to start in 2021, and significant expansion projects at Los Filos and Castle Mountain. We look forward to developing <span class=\"xn-location\">Greenstone<\/span> with Orion as our partner, integrating Mercedes into our portfolio of producing mines and being a substantial and supportive shareholder of i-80 Gold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Ewan Downie<\/span>, CEO of i-80 Gold and former CEO of Premier Gold, stated: &#8220;Premier shareholders will benefit from the combination with Equinox Gold and its financial capacity to advance development of our flagship Greenstone Project. It was a tremendous honour working with the Premier team for nearly 15 years, participating in numerous exploration and development successes, and I am thankful for the support of this group and our shareholders. We now look to the future and the public launch of i-80 Gold next week, with the objective of creating a go-to, <span class=\"xn-location\">Nevada<\/span>-focused mining and development company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Premier&#8217;s common shares are expected to be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange (&#8220;TSX&#8221;) within two to three business days.
