Equinox issued 21 million shares to Pacific Road after it exercised its non-dilution rights, taking its holding to about 10.1%.
Equinox said the funds were in addition to a US$85 million credit facility with Sprott Private Resource Lending announced in December, which were for development, construction and working capital requirements at Aurizona.
It said the mine's construction was fully funded thanks to the Sprott facility and its existing treasury of about US$71 million at the start of the year.
The company formed late last year in a three-way merger between Trek Mining, NewCastle Gold and Anfield Gold.
It also has the Castle Mountain gold project in California and is looking to become a mid-tier gold producer, president Greg Smith told Mining Journal Americas at the 2018 Resource Investment Conference in Vancouver last month.
Equinox shares rose almost 2% yesterday to C$1.12, capitalising it at $474.1 million.
