Equinox Gold Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment Demonstrating Potential for an Additional 740,500 Ounces of Gold Production from Aurizona Underground Development
Alldollar amounts are expressed in US$
VANCOUVER, May 7, 2020 /CNW/ - Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a positive preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") for development of an underground mine at the Company's 100% owned Aurizona Gold Mine ("Aurizona") in Brazil. The underground mine could be operated concurrently with the existing open-pit mine and has the potential to deliver an additional 740,500 ounces ("oz") of gold, $1 billion in revenue and $204 million in after-tax net cash flow over a ten-year mine life at a base case gold price of $1,350 per oz.
PEA Highlightsfor the Piaba Underground Mine (at $1,350/oz gold)
- 740,500 oz gold production from the underground mine, in addition to existing open-pit gold production
- 2,800 tonnes per day ("t/d") mill feed at steady state from the underground mine
- PEA mine plan incorporates 2.8 million tonnes of Indicated Resources grading 2.73 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 6.2 million tonnes of Inferred Resources grading 2.89 g/t gold
- Mined using low-cost long-hole open stoping method
- Processed using the existing 8,000 t/d plant and other existing surface infrastructure
- Initial capital costs of $69.7 million and sustaining capital of $138.4 million^1^
- $1 billion gross revenue with a post-tax net cashflow of $204 million
- All-in sustaining costs of $925/oz^1^
- $122 million after-tax net present value discounted at 5% ("NPV5%") ($228 million at $1,620/oz gold)
- 25% internal rate of return ("IRR") (38% at $1,620/oz gold)
| ^1^ Sustaining capital and all-in sustaining costs are non-IFRS measures.See Cautionary Notes. |

Christian Milau, CEO of Equinox Gold, stated: "This PEA demonstrates the substantial opportunity for both mine life extension and increased annual gold production at Aurizona through development of an underground mine. With the potential for expansions to the current open-pit, additions of other near-surface resources and further opportunities for Piaba underground resource expansion at depth and along strike, Aurizona is expected to be a long-life cornerstone asset for Equinox Gold."
The PEA is included in Section 24 of the "Technical Report on the Aurizona Gold Mine, Brazil" (the "Technical Report") dated April 27, 2020. The Technical Report was prepared by AGP Mining Consultants Inc. ("AGP") with contributions by Equity Exploration Consultants ("Equity") and will be filed within 45 days on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/EDGAR and on the Company's website at www.equinoxgold.com. The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes 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 results contemplated in the PEA will be realized.
Overview
The Piaba mineral deposit contains high-grade gold mineralization in a multiple vein system that extends at least 4 kilometres along the Aurizona Shear Zone. The mineralization extends below the open-pit that is currently in production at Aurizona, has been drill tested to a depth of approximately 600 metres from surface and remains open at depth and along strike. The current underground portion of the resource estimate includes an Indicated Resource of 7.3 million tonnes grading 1.96 g/t gold and an Inferred Resource of 16.5 million tonnes grading 1.98 g/t gold. Only the portion of the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource that is within the PEA mine design and above a cut-off grade of 1.50 g/t to 1.85 g/t (depending on depth) is included in the base case PEA underground mine plan.
The underground deposit could be mined and processed concurrently with mill feed from the open-pit at Aurizona resulting in a higher average mill feed grade. Underground mine production would be processed through the existing 8,000 t/d plant and use other existing surface infrastructure. Base case PEA economics for the underground mine were determined using a gold price of $1,350/oz and include a 1.5% royalty payable to the Brazilian government and a 3% royalty payable to Sandstorm Gold Royalties^2^.
| ^2^ Sandstorm royalty rate increases to 4% at gold prices from $1,500 to $2,000/oz and 5% at gold prices over $2,000/oz. |

Mining
The PEA contemplates development of an underground mine along a total strike length of 3.3 kilometres to access an initial eight separate mining areas. The internal ramps will be accessed from surface by a common main double ramp arrangement developed directly into fresh rock from within the existing open-pit. All mine development is in more stable rock units located on the hangingwall side of the mineralized body (Figure 1).
Figure 1: PEA Underground Development Design (isometric view to southwest) Below Piaba Open-Pit
Figure 1: PEA Underground Development Design (isometric view to southwest) Below Piaba Open-Pit (CNW Group/Equinox Gold Corp.)
The proposed mining method is long-hole stoping due to the good ground conditions and steep dip of the deposit. The PEA contemplates owner mining of stopes and underground development. Completed stopes would be filled by rockfill from underground development or open-pit waste. The addition of cement to rockfill is confined to the higher-grade areas where mining recovery can be maximized by eliminating the need for rib pillars and above sill pillars.
First mill feed from the underground mine would be expected approximately 2.25 years after the start of underground mine development, with steady-state production of 2,800 t/d being achieved at the end of year four and continuing through year 11 within the currently defined mineral resource (Figure 2). The mine plan schedules higher-grade areas earlier in the underground mine life to enhance mine economics (Figure 3).

Capital &Operating Costs
The underground mine will use and benefit from the existing process plant and other infrastructure currently used by the operating open-pit mine including power, water and tailings storage facilities. No additional processing or other surface infrastructure is contemplated in the PEA and capital estimates are confined to underground mine development and sustaining costs. Initial capital costs are estimated at $69.7 million and sustaining capital is estimated at $138.4 million over the duration of the PEA mine plan (Table 2). Total initial and sustaining capital cost estimates include a 25% contingency and recoverable and non-recoverable taxes.

EconomicSensitivities
Using the base case gold price of $1,350/oz the underground mine has an after-tax NPV5% of $122 million and an after-tax IRR of 25%. At $1,620/oz gold, the after-tax NPV5% increases to $228 million with an after-tax IRR of 38%. The project's NPV5% is most sensitive to fluctuations in the gold price, as summarized in the table below.

| ^1^ Includes initial capital and sustaining capital costs. See Cautionary Notes. |
The PEA includes the results of additional studies examining potential improvements in overall mine (open-pit and underground) economics by raising the elevation of the current interface between the open-pit and underground mine and accelerating mine development to increase annual underground production rates. In all cases assessed, the addition of the underground component to the Aurizona open-pit operation as outlined in the July 2017 "Feasibility Study on the Aurizona Gold Mine Project, Maranhão, Brazil" (the "Feasibility Study") improves the net life-of-mine cash flow and NPV. The PEA clearly demonstrates the benefits of including underground mining beneath the currently defined Piaba open-pit, with the base case PEA underground development resulting in the highest NPV5%. However, future delineation of additional open-pit reserves may improve the economics of alternative underground scenarios.
Mineral Resources
As reported by Equinox Gold on March 19, 2019, independent open-pit and underground resource models were prepared for Aurizona to provide an improved basis for assessing the potential for an underground mine. The underground resource model was informed by an updated geological model consisting of 16 high-grade gold-bearing structures having an average thickness of 3 metres to 6 metres and coincident with increased veining, sulphide mineralization and grades greater than or equal to 0.7 g/t gold. The open-pit and underground resource models are separated by a datum defined by a surface that is 20 metres below the lower of the upper contact of the fresh rock or the base of the Feasibility Study reserve open-pit. The Aurizona underground mineral resource is summarized in Table 5.

The underground resource estimate presented herein is unchanged from the underground resource estimate disclosed by Equinox Gold in a press release dated March 19, 2019 that is available on the Company's website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR. Mineral resources are reported using a gold price of 1,500/oz gold, a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t gold and constrained by using a 1.0 g/t gold confining solid. Mineral resources are reported exclusive of reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of a mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves. Numbers have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate. See Technical Disclosure and Cautionary Notes. |
All values are in US Dollars.
Only a portion of underground Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources were considered in the PEA. The PEA underground mine plan used cut-off grades ranging from 1.50 g/t to 1.85 g/t gold. The 1.50 g/t gold cut-off grade was applied to material within 200 vertical metres of the delivery point elevation, and the cut-off grade was increased for every 100 vertical metres of depth to a depth of 500 vertical metres below the delivery point. A cut-off grade of 1.85 g/t gold was applied to all material greater than 500 vertical metres below the delivery point elevation.
The portion of the underground Indicated and Inferred Resource used in the PEA underground mine plan, after application of the higher cut-off grades and base case PEA mine design, includes Indicated Resources of 2.8 million tonnes grading 2.73 g/t gold and Inferred Resources of 6.2 million tonnes grading 2.89 g/t gold (Table 5).
Next Steps
Equinox Gold will continue to advance studies focused on underground development and intends to complete a pre-feasibility study for the Piaba underground mine in 2021. The Company has commenced a 17,000-metre drill program aimed primarily at converting underground Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources in support of the pre-feasibility study. Future drilling will also target expansion of the Piaba underground deposit at depth and along strike.

CautionaryNotes and Forward-looking Statements
Non-IFRSMeasures
This newsrelease refers to all-in sustaining costs ("AISC"), AISC per ounce sold and sustaining and non-sustaining capital expendituresthat are measures with no standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), i.e. theyare non-IFRS measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Their measurement and presentationis intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performanceprepared in accordance with IFRS.
AISC perOunce Sold
AISC pergold oz sold is a non-IFRS measure based on guidance announced by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in September 2013 andupdated in November 2018. The WGC is a non-profit association of the world's leading gold mining companies established in 1987to promote the use of gold to industry, consumers and investors. The WGC is not a regulatory body and does not have the authorityto develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements. The WGC has worked with its member companies to develop a measurethat expands on IFRS measures such as operating expenses and non-IFRS measures to provide visibility into the economics of a goldmining Company. Current IFRS measures used in the gold industry, such as operating expenses, do not capture all the expendituresincurred to discover, develop and sustain gold production. The Company believes the AISC measure provides further transparencyinto costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessingits operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. CombinedAISC does not include corporate G&A.

Estimatesof Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources
Informationregarding resource estimates has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities lawsand may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies. The terms "Mineral Resource", "IndicatedMineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" used in this news release are Canadian mining terms as definedin accordance with NI 43-101 under guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM")Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on May 10, 2014. While the terms "MineralResource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource"are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards of the United States Securitiesand Exchange Commission. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless thedetermination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reservecalculation is made. As such, certain information contained in this news release concerning descriptions of mineralization andresources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject tothe reporting and disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. An Inferred Mineral Resourcehas a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed thatall or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates ofInferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to assumethat all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautionednot to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. In addition,the definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" under CIM standards differ incertain respects from the standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
