Equinox Gold Delivers Strong Second Quarter Results; Increases 2026 Production Guidance Following Successful Completion of the Orla Mining Merger; Quarterly Dividend Increased by 50%

Focusing on execution as North America’s New Senior Gold Producer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) (“Equinox Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026 (“Q2 2026”). The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 (“Financial Statements”) and related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) 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: “With completion of the business combination with Orla Mining on July 31, we enter the second half of 2026 as North America’s new senior gold producer, with meaningfully greater production and cash flow, and one of the industry’s strongest organic growth profiles. The financial benefits of the combination will begin to be reflected in our third quarter results, with our focus on disciplined integration, operational execution and delivering the long-term value this transformational combination has created.

“The second quarter reflected continued improvement across our Canadian operations, with higher production at both Greenstone and Valentine. At Valentine, high-grade reconciliation improved significantly compared to the first quarter as our operational initiatives gained traction, and that positive trend continued into July. The process plant continues to perform exceptionally well, consistently exceeding nameplate capacity, while ongoing gains in mining performance are supporting higher-grade mill feed. Together with Greenstone’s continued ramp-up and the addition of Musselwhite, we expect our Canadian portfolio to deliver higher production at lower unit costs through the second half of 2026.

“The new Company’s consolidated 2026 production guidance of 870,000 to 920,000 ounces of gold reflects 12 months of production from Equinox Gold’s existing portfolio and five months (August through December) from the assets acquired with Orla Mining. On a pro-forma basis, considering a full 12 months of production from both companies, annual production is expected to be approximately 1.1 million ounces of gold in 2026.

“The Board of Directors has approved construction of the Phase 2 expansion at Valentine, reflecting our confidence in the operation and our disciplined approach to investing in high-return organic growth. The expansion is expected to increase processing capacity to approximately 13,700 tonnes per day (5.0 Mtpa) and average annual gold production to approximately 223,000 ounces, unlocking the full long-term value of this cornerstone Canadian mine. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2028.

“With the merger complete, the Board of Directors has approved a 50% increase to our quarterly dividend, reflecting the strength of our balance sheet, our growing free cash flow generation, and our commitment to delivering meaningful shareholder returns while continuing to invest in high-return organic growth opportunities.

“Our focus is clear: achieve operational excellence, allocate capital with discipline and successfully execute our organic growth pipeline, creating long-term shareholder value as North America’s new senior gold producer.”

_{¹ All Operations includes both Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations (the Brazil mines that were sold in January 2026).
² Cash costs per oz sold, AISC per oz sold, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, sustaining expenditures, and net debt are non-IFRS measures. See Non-IFRS Measures and Cautionary Notes.
³ Anticipated production growth comes from completion of the Valentine Phase 2 expansion (Canada) and with Castle Mountain (USA), South Railroad (USA), Los Filos (Mexico) and Camino Rojo underground (Mexico) in production and operating in line with expectations outlined in current technical reports, which technical reports are available under the respective SEDAR+ profiles of Equinox Gold (in the case of Valentine, Castle Mountain and Los Filos) and Orla (in the case of South Railroad and Camino Rojo).
⁴ Net cash is calculated using combined Equinox Gold and Orla cash of $729 million, as at June 30, 2026, as reported by Equinox Gold and Orla, and drawn debt of $515 million as at July 31, 2026, excluding in-the-money convertible debentures and equipment loans. Pro forma adjustments reflect the repayment of the Orla Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility but exclude estimated transaction costs that will be reflected in Q3 2026. Available liquidity is calculated as combined $729 million of cash as at June 30, 2026 plus $485 million of undrawn debt on Equinox Gold’s Revolving Credit Facility as at July 31, 2026.}

Updated 2026 Guidance Reflects Combined Company  
Following completion of the business combination with Orla Mining on July 31, 2026, Equinox Gold is providing updated consolidated guidance for 2026 that reflects five months (August to December 2026) of contribution from Musselwhite and Camino Rojo. For comparative purposes, on a full-year pro forma basis assuming the Equinox Gold and Orla Mining business combination had been completed on January 1, 2026, consolidated 2026 production guidance would have been approximately 1.1 million ounces of gold.

_{¹ Cash costs per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold are non-IFRS measures. See Non-IFRS Measures and Cautionary Notes. Consolidated AISC per oz sold excludes corporate general and administrative expenses.
² 2026 Growth Capital guidance includes $70-$80M for South Railroad and $35-$40M for Los Filos. Valentine’s Growth Capital includes $50-$60M allocated to Phase 2.
³ General and administrative expenses exclude share-based compensation and transaction costs.}

2026 updated guidance reflects year-to-date performance and expected production for the balance of the year. The Company anticipates stronger production from its Canadian operations – Greenstone, Musselwhite and Valentine – in the second half of 2026, driving improved consolidated AISC for the remainder of 2026. Equinox Gold maintains strong margins, with updated consolidated cash cost guidance of $1,600-$1,700/oz and AISC guidance of $1,900-$2,000/oz. Cash cost and AISC guidance ranges by asset have been revised to reflect year-to-date results and the impact of higher fuel prices.

Equinox Gold will continue to advance its portfolio of organic growth projects, with $105-$120 million in growth capital allocated to studies, engineering, procurement and construction. This includes $70-$80 million at South Railroad in the United States, where the Company anticipates receiving a Federal Record of Decision, a key permitting milestone, in August 2026; and $35-$40 million at Los Filos in Mexico. In addition, updated guidance includes $50-$60 million of growth capital for the Valentine Phase 2 expansion, which was not included in the Company’s original 2026 guidance. As a result, the Company’s consolidated 2026 growth capital guidance is $600-$650 million.

Non-IFRS Measures

In this news release, cash costs, cash costs per oz sold, AISC, AISC per oz sold, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and sustaining capital expenditures 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 and are net of costs allocated to by-products. Cash costs are divided by ounces sold to arrive at cash costs per oz sold. In calculating cash costs, the Company deducts costs allocated to by-products 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 AISC per oz sold 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:
