(TSX:EQX) (NYSE:EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") reports that mining activities at its Los Filos Mine in Mexico have been suspended since September 3, 2020 as the result of an illegal road blockade by members of the nearby Carrizalillo community.

Equinox Gold is in active discussions with the Carrizalillo community leaders to resolve the issues.
