Poised for Major Inflection in Q3 2025 Including Calibre Asset Production, Canadian Greenstone Gold Mine Ramp-up and Valentine Gold Mine Startup

Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE: EQX) is pleased to announce its Q2 2025 financial and operating results. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis are available for download on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar and on the Company’s website at www.equinoxgold.com. All financial figures are in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Darren Hall, CEO of Equinox Gold, commented: “Equinox Gold is entering a pivotal growth phase. Q2 delivered solid results, led by Greenstone, where mining rates increased 23% and processing rates improved 20% over Q1. Building on that momentum, Q3 is off to a strong start, with quarter-to-date ex-pit mining volumes 10% higher than Q2 and process plant throughput averaging 24.5 kptd over the last 30 days, including more than one-third of the days above nameplate capacity of 27 ktpd. This sets the stage for our true inflection point in Q3, driven by a full-quarter contribution from the Calibre assets, first ore processed at Valentine, and continued improvement at Greenstone.

“If the Calibre transaction had been effective from January 1, 2025, our pro-forma consolidated revenue for the first half would have been approximately $1.33 billion, highlighting the enhanced scale and earnings power of the combined company.

“We expect a strong second half of the year, with production on track to meet our full-year consolidated guidance of 785,000 to 915,000 ounces and anticipate continued growth in both production and cash flow into 2026.

“Our focus is clear as we grow into a top-tier producer – operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation, and deliver on our commitments to drive debt reduction, optimize our balance sheet, and maximize returns for shareholders.”

2025 GUIDANCE & RECONCILIATION

On June 11, 2025, the Company issued its updated 2025 Guidance to reflect the transaction with Calibre and the slower-than-planned ramp-up of Greenstone. Guidance for Brazil was consolidated on a regional basis and reflects a narrower production guidance range and higher cost expectations due to operational cost pressures. The updated 2025 Guidance incorporates the Calibre Assets on a 100% basis from January 1, 2025. The Company’s primary focus for 2025 remains on ramping up the Greenstone Gold Mine and achieving first gold pour at the Valentine Gold Mine, with a targeted ramp-up to nameplate capacity in Q1 2026. Additional development priorities include advancing engineering and permitting for Castle Mountain Phase 2 and initiating underground portal development for the Aurizona underground expansion.
