Investors often consider gold a safe place to put their money in, especially when the market conditions are uncertain. Due to this prime reason, some even prefer to have a little exposure to gold at all times.

This gold company aims to become a million-ounce gold producer and has operations across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Brazil. The company we are talking about is Equinox Gold Corp (TSX:EQX).
