Equinox Gold Delivers Solid Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

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.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

This news release refers to cash costs, cash costs per oz sold, AISC, AISC per oz sold, AISC contribution margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and sustaining capital expenditures that are measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS, i.e. they are non-IFRS measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Their measurement and presentation is consistently prepared and is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Numbers presented in the tables below may not sum due to rounding.

Cash Costs and Cash Costs per oz Sold

Cash costs is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry; however, it has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports total cash costs on a per oz sold basis. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate operating income and cash flow from mining operations. Cash costs are calculated as mine site operating costs, net of non-recurring items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, and are net of silver revenue. Cash costs are divided by ounces sold to arrive at cash costs per oz sold. In calculating cash costs, the Company deducts silver revenue as it considers the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

AISC per oz Sold

The Company uses AISC per oz of gold sold to measure performance. The methodology for calculating AISC was developed internally and is outlined below. Current IFRS measures used in the gold industry, such as operating expenses, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain gold production. The Company believes the AISC measure provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. AISC includes cash costs (described above) and also includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining lease payments, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and exploration and evaluation costs. This measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, therefore, expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash costs per oz of gold sold and AISC per oz of gold sold to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on an aggregate basis:

<sup>1. Consolidated cash cost per oz sold and AISC per oz sold for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2025 exclude Castle Mountain results after August 31, 2024 when residual leaching commenced. In addition, figures for the three months ended June 30, 2025 exclude Los Filos after March 31, 2025 as operations were indefinitely suspended on April 1, 2025. Consolidated AISC per oz sold excludes corporate general and administration expenses.
2. Consolidated cash cost per oz sold and AISC per oz sold for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 include results from Pan and Nicaragua (Limon and Libertad) from the date of acquisition of June 17, 2025 to June 30, 2025.</sup>

Sustaining Capital and Sustaining Expenditures

The following table provides a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures to the Company’s total capital expenditures for continuing operations:

<sup>1. Per note 7 of the consolidated Financial Statements. Capital additions exclude non-cash changes to reclamation assets arising from changes in discount rate and inflation rate assumptions in the reclamation provision.
2. Non-cash additions include right-of-use assets associated with leases recognized in the period, capitalized depreciation for deferred stripping activities, and capitalized non-cash share-based compensation.
3. Relates to Castle Mountain after August 31, 2024 when residual leaching commenced and Los Filos after March 31, 2025 as operations were indefinitely suspended on April 1, 2025.</sup>

Total Mine-Site Free Cash Flow

The following table provides a reconciliation of mine-site free cash flow to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on an aggregate basis:

^{1. Includes taxes paid that are not factored into mine-site free cash flow and is included in operating cash flow before non-cash changes in working capital in the statement of cash flows. Also includes operating cash flow for projects in development stage, including Castle Mountain results after August 31, 2024 when residual leaching commenced and Los Filos when the Company suspended operations on April 1, 2025.}

AISC Contribution Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The following tables provide the calculation of AISC contribution margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company:

AISC Contribution Margin

<sup>1. AISC contribution margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2025 exclude Castle Mountain as the Company began reporting it as a development project effective August 31, 2024 when residual leaching commenced. In addition, the figures for the three months ended June 30, 2025 exclude Los Filos as the Company suspended operations on April 1, 2025.
