The Los Filos complex is an operating mine comprising three open pits and two underground mines. Los Filos has been operating since 2008. Equinox Gold assumed ownership of the mine in March 2020 through its acquisition of Leagold Mining. Equinox Gold continued with expansion plans, including development of the Guadalupe open pit and the Bermejal underground mine.
