Equinox Gold Reports Updated Mineral Reserves and Resources for Mesquite, Fazenda and RDM Gold Mines
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 8, 2021 /CNW/ - Equinox GoldCorp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates for the Mesquite ("Mesquite") gold mine in California, USA, and the Fazenda Brasileiro ("Fazenda") and Riacho Dos Machados ("RDM") gold mines in Brazil, incorporating exploration drilling completed during 2020.
Highlights
- Mesquite Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources increased 65% to 1,384,000 ounces ("oz") of contained gold, exclusive of Mineral Reserves
- Mesquite Inferred Mineral Resources increased 30% to 912,000 oz of contained gold
- Fazenda exploration success offset 31 months of mining depletion, with Mineral Reserves essentially unchanged at 315,000 oz of contained gold representing five-plus years of mine life
Scott Heffernan, EVP Exploration of Equinox Gold, stated: "Exploration efforts at Mesquite continue to demonstrate significant resource growth and mine life extension. In addition, drilling during 2021 points to multi-year mine life extension, including the best hole drilled year-to-date on the property with 78 metres of 1.2 g/t gold located on the eastern margin of the Rainbow deposit.
"Exploration at the Fazenda mine has again successfully replaced reserves and extended the mine life, but we are particularly excited about ongoing near-mine exploration at Fazenda and district-wide exploration on multiple targets within the greenstone belt between our Fazenda and Santa Luz mines, the results of which will be released in Q4 2021."
Mesquite Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Update
Exploration at Mesquite continues to deliver significant resource growth. The current update incorporates 20,230 metres ("m") (254 holes) of drilling during the last half of 2020 and does not include any results from the 2021 drill program. Initial results from 2021 exploration are very encouraging (highlight results are shown in Figures 1 and 2). Ongoing efforts at Mesquite are focused on resource growth at the Brownie, VE2 and Rainbow deposits, as well as the conversion of Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves via metallurgical test work, heap leach optimization studies, and the assessment and design of new leach pads to support mine life extension. These activities are expected to demonstrate a significant increase in the Mesquite mine life.
Mesquite Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at June 30, 2021 are estimated at 30.3 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 0.48 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold for 471,000 oz of contained gold (Table 1). The 28% decrease from the previous estimate is attributable almost entirely to mining depletion of 199,174 oz of gold from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
Mesquite Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, have increased by 65% to 105.0 Mt grading 0.41 g/t gold for 1,384,000 oz of contained gold (Table 2). Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 30% to 84.0 Mt grading 0.34 g/t gold for 912,000 oz of contained gold (Table 2).

| Note: This Mineral Reserve estimate with an effective date of June 30, 2021<br> is based on the Mesquite Mineral Resource estimate dated June 30, 2021 completed by Equinox Gold (Model F). The Mineral Reserve calculation<br> was completed under the supervision of Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng. of AGP Mining Consultants Inc., who is a Qualified Person as defined under<br> National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"). Mineral Reserves are stated within the final design pit based on a 1,350/oz gold<br> price. The cut-off grade varied by material type from 0.14 g/t for oxide and oxide-transition and 0.24 g/t for non-oxide materials. The<br> mining cost averaged 1.42/tonne mined, processing costs are 1.46/tonne ore and G&A is 0.63/tonne ore placed. The ore recoveries<br> are 75% for oxide and 35% for non-oxide material. Numbers may not sum due to rounding. |

Fazenda Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Update
Exploration at Fazenda continues to successfully replace reserves on an annualized basis, and the current update incorporates 155,008 metres ("m") (2,937 holes) of drilling completed from May 2018 to December 31, 2020. The Company sees significant exploration potential at Fazenda and in 2021 commenced a 74,000 m drill program focused on reserve replacement and near-mine resource growth at Fazenda, and on greenfields exploration in the underexplored 70-km-long greenstone belt that hosts the Fazenda-Santa Luz mining district. Combined with near-mine and regional exploration around the Company's Santa Luz mine to the north, the Company plans to complete more than 110,000 m of drilling during 2021 to further define the Fazenda-Santa Luz mining district.
Fazenda Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at December 31, 2020 are estimated at 6.7 Mt grading 1.47 g/t gold for 315,000 oz of contained gold (Table 3). Net of mining depletion (196,000 oz) over a 31-month period, Mineral Reserves are effectively unchanged from the May 31, 2018 Mineral Reserve estimate and demonstrate five-plus years of mine life at current production levels. The current mine plan includes contributions from underground and open-pit mining areas with reserves from several parallel mineralized zones.
Fazenda Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, are estimated at 5.2 Mt grading 1.77 g/t gold for 294,000 oz of contained gold (Table 4). Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated at 3.3 Mt grading 1.50 g/t gold for 158,000 oz of contained gold (Table 4).

RDM Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Update
Exploration at RDM under previous ownership was negligible. The current update incorporates 42,654 m (1,283 holes) of grade control drilling completed from May 2018 to December 31, 2020 as well as a reinterpretation of the block model to conform with Equinox Gold standards and support the RDM mine plan.
RDM Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at December 31, 2020 are estimated at 17.6 Mt grading 0.99 g/t gold for 556,000 oz of contained gold (Table 5). RDM Mineral Reserves have decreased 30% from the May 2018 Mineral Reserve estimate as the result of mining depletion (173,000 oz) over a 31-month period and essentially no exploration in recent years. The Company is planning an exploration program at RDM for 2022 focused on resource growth. The mine has also benefited from operational improvements including the connection to grid power in 2019 and a concerted focus on plant optimizations, resulting in improvements to throughput, recoveries and production over the last two years. The water dam reservoir was fully replenished during the 2021 rainy season and has water sufficient to support operations for the next two years.
RDM Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, are estimated at 3.2 Mt grading 1.27 g/t gold for 132,000 oz of contained gold (Table 6). Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated at 3.6 Mt grading 1.95 g/t gold for 226,000 oz of contained gold (Table 6).

Cautionary Note to U.S. Readers Concerning Estimatesof Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Information about mineral reserve and resourceestimates in this news release has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of U.S. securities laws. The technical informationin this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian reporting standards and certain estimates are made in accordance withNational Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). NI 43-101 isa rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of technicalinformation concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates contained in this newsrelease have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum DefinitionStandards on Mineral Resources and Reserves ("CIM Definition Standards"). Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantlyfrom the historical requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and mineral reserve and resource estimatescontained in this news release, or incorporated by reference, may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies.The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securitiesare registered with the SEC (the "SEC Modernization Rules"). The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosurerequirements for mining registrants that are included in SEC Industry Guide 7. U.S. companies must provide disclosure on mineral propertiesunder the SEC Modernization Rules for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2021 or later. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the definitionsof "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" have been amended to be substantially similar to thecorresponding CIM Definition Standards and the SEC has added definitions to recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicatedmineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" which are also substantially similar to the corresponding CIM DefinitionStandards; however, there are still differences in the definitions and standards under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM DefinitionStandards. Therefore, the Company's mineral resources and reserves as determined in accordance with NI 43-101 may be significantly differentthan if they had been determined in accordance with the SEC Modernization Rules.
