The leadership switch reverses the CEO plan set when Equinox and Orla agreed to an all-share merger in May.

Equinox Gold will hand over the CEO role to Orla Mining’s Jason Simpson on Nov. 1, reversing a leadership plan that was put in place when the two companies agreed to merge in May, Mining.com reports. As part of the transaction, Orla closed Friday, creating a six-mine gold producer forecast to turn out 1.1 million ounces of gold per year. The combined company’s Canadian core assets include Greenstone near Geraldton, more than 1,100 km by road northwest of Toronto. The CEO change also comes as Equinox shifts from dealmaking to execution, with Simpson expected to lead the integration of the two fast-growing miners and to prioritize its slate of mine builds and expansions. Hall is set to retire Oct. 31 and work with Simpson for the next three months.
