Cautionary notes

Forward-looking Statements

This Site includes certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”, or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation and may include future-oriented financial information (collectively, forward-looking information).  Forward-looking information appears in several places on this Site is are based on expectations, estimates and projections including, without limitation; statements relating to: the strategic vision for the Company and expectations for the operation of Greenstone including future financial or operating performance and anticipated improvements in recovery rates and throughput to achieve design capacity,regarding exploration potential, production capabilities and future financial or operational performance;  the Company's ability to pay the deferred payment in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 40% of Greenstone; the Company's production and cost guidance, including production and cost guidance for Greenstone; the Company's ability to successfully advance its growth and development projects, including expansions at Castle Mountain, Los Filos and Aurizona; the Company's ability to successfully renegotiate existing land access agreements at Los Filos and the anticipated impact on Los Filos of those negotiations are unsuccessful; the anticipated impact of the geotechnical event in the Piaba pit on planned 2024 production from Aurizona and effectiveness of the Company's remediation activities to enhance stability of the Piaba pit and nearby infrastructure and ability to develop a plan to remediate the long-term stability as well as continue partial mining of the Piaba pit; the strength of the Company's balance sheet, and the Company's liquidity and future cash requirements; conversion of Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves; gold price performance; the Company's relationship with its Indigenous partners at Greenstone; and the Company's ability to meet its environmental performance objectives. Forward-looking information is generally identified by the use of the words  like “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “plan”, “objective”, “advance”, “start”, “underway”,  “on budget”, “on schedule” and “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information as well as phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “could”, “would”, “should”, or the negative connotation of such terms, and are intended to identify forward-looking information. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information since the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

Forward-looking information is based on the Company's current expectations and projections about future events and these assumptions include: the Company's ability to achieve its exploration, production, cost and development expectations for its respective operations and projects, the Company's ability to achieve its production, cost and development expectations for Greenstone; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled production; ore grades and recoveries remain consistent with expectations, tonnage of ore to be mined and processed remains consistent with expectations, no labour related disruptions; availability of funds for the Company's projects and future cash requirements; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services remaining as estimated;  tonnage of ore to be mined and processed, ore grades, and recoveries remaining consistent with the mine plans; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates; Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates and the assumptions on which they are based; no labour-related disruptions and no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled commissioning, development and production, including by blockade or industrial action; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; the Company's ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and other regulatory requirements; and the ability of the Company to work productively with its Indigenous partners at Greenstone. While the Company considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking information contained on this Site.

The Company cautions that forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. The Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors, including,  without limitation: fluctuations in gold prices; fluctuations in prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services; fluctuations in currency markets; operational risks and hazards inherent with the business of mining (including environmental accidents and hazards, geotechnical failures, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding, fires, and severe weather); inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance to cover these risks and hazards; labour relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities and Indigenous populations; the effect of blockades and community issues on the Company's production and cost estimates; the Company's ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner or at all; changes in laws, regulations and government practices, including mining, environmental and export and import laws and regulations; legal restrictions relating to mining; risks relating to expropriation and nationalization of resources; increased competition in the mining industry ; and those factors identified in the section titled “Risks and Uncertainties” in Equinox Gold's most recently filed annual Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and in the section titled “Risks Related to the Business” in Equinox Gold's most recently filed Annual Information Form, both of which are available on this site and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar. Forward-looking information should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results. Forward-looking information is designed to help readers understand management's views as of that time with respect to future events and speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results of any change to any forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference on this site to reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward-looking information. If the Company updates any forward-looking information, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that or other forward-looking information. All forward-looking information contained on this Site is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Non-IFRS Measures

This Site may include certain non-IFRS measures, including: cash costs; cash costs per ounce (oz) sold; all-in sustaining costs (AISC); AISC per oz sold; and sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures. Such measures are “non-GAAP financial measures”, “non-GAAP ratios”, “supplementary financial measures” or “capital management measures” (as such terms are defined in National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure). The Company believes these measures, while not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide readers an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to the information provided by other issuers. Please see the information under the heading Non-IFRS Measures in Equinox Gold's most recently filed annual MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference to this Site for a description of the non-IFRS financial measures noted above. The MD&A may be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/EDGAR.

National Instrument 43-101

Unless otherwise stated, scientific and technical information concerning Greenstone is summarized, derived, or extracted from the report: “Technical Report on the Greenstone Gold Mine, Geraldton, Ontario” with a report date of October 1, 2024 and an effective date of June 30, 2024 (Greenstone Technical Report). The Greenstone Technical Report is available for review on this Site and on Equinox Gold's profiles on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/EDGAR. 

Readers are reminded that results outlined in the Greenstone Technical Report include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the mine plans and economic models contained in the report will be realized. Readers are further cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The technical information on this Site has been reviewed and approved by Doug Reddy, MSc, P.Geo, Equinox Gold's Chief Operating Officer and Scott Heffernan, MSc, P.Geo. Equinox Gold's EVP Exploration, who are the Qualified Persons under National Instrument 43-101 for Equinox Gold.

In addition, scientific and technical information concerning the Company's other properties are available on the Equinox Gold website and its profiles on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/EDGAR.  Readers are also advised to refer to the latest annual information form of Equinox Gold as well as other continuous disclosure documents filed by Equinox Gold available at www.sedarplus.ca and at www.sec.gov/edgar for detailed information (including qualifications, assumptions and notes set out accordingly) regarding the mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained on this Site.

Cautionary Note to US Readers

Disclosure regarding the Company's mineral properties, including with respect to mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates published on the Site, was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (43-101). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) generally applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, information contained on this Site is not comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.
