Orla Mining Ltd. held a special shareholder meeting on July 22, 2026, to vote on its proposed merger with Equinox Gold Corp. The transaction aims to create a combined entity with a target output of 1.1 million gold ounces in 2026.
Orla’s board of directors unanimously recommended the arrangement. Independent proxy advisory firms previously issued support for the business combination.
The deal has already satisfied a key regulatory condition through a no-action letter from Canada’s Competition Bureau. The merger remains on track to close in the third quarter of 2026, pending final shareholder and customary approvals.
