Come build your career at Mesquite — Equinox Gold's first-ever operating mine and a proud cornerstone of our story since 2018.

The project is backed by a completed feasibility study outlining an average of 130,000 ounces of gold per year over the first five years and an initial 10-year mine life. With permitting advancing approval expected in Q3 2026, detailed engineering and procurement are already well underway for a timely start to construction. Join us at this pivotal stage and help bring Nevada's next gold mine to life.
