decommissioning and reclamation estimates; the Companies' mineral reserve and resource
estimates and the assumptions on which they are based; prices for energy inputs, labour,
materials, supplies and services; and the Companies' ability to comply with permit requirements

Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on the forward-looking statements
or information contained in this presentation. The Companies caution that forward-looking
statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied

Such factors include, 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, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, usual or unexpected geological or structural
formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather); inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain
insurance to cover these risks and hazards; employee relations; relationships with, and claims by,
local communities and indigenous populations; the Companies' ability to obtain all necessary
permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and
government practices, including environmental, export and import laws and regulations; legal
restrictions relating to mining; risks relating to expropriation, increased competition in the mining
industry; and those factors identified in the Companies’ respective management information
circulars and Annual Information Form for 2018, which are available on SEDAR at

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Reserves and Resources.
These estimates have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities
laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. The terms "mineral resource",
"measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are
defined in NI 43-101 and recognized by Canadian securities laws but are not defined terms under
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7 ("SEC Guide 7") or recognized
under U.S. securities laws. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of
mineral deposits in these categories will ever be upgraded to mineral reserves. "Inferred mineral
resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to
their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred
mineral resource" will ever by upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws,
estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility
studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not 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 in certain
respects from the standards of the SEC. Accordingly, these mineral reserve and resource
estimates and related information may not be comparable to similar information made public by
U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, including SEC Guide 7.
Numbers may not add due to rounding. All dollar amounts in USD unless otherwise noted.

Notes to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources (Equinox Gold)
• The Mesquite reserve and resource estimates were disclosed in the technical report entitled
“Technical Report on the Mesquite Gold Mine, Imperial County, California, U.S.A.” prepared by AGP
with an effective date of December 31, 2018, which is available for download on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com. The Mesquite resource estimate was prepared by Robert Sim P.Geo, SIM
Geological Inc. and Bruce Davis, FAusIMM, BD Resource Consulting, Inc. The Mesquite reserve
estimate was based on the Mesquite mineral resource estimate prepared by SIM Geological Inc. The
mineral reserve calculation was completed under the supervision of Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng of
AGP, who is a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101.The estimated mineral resources
represent the material located between the surveyed topographic surface at December 31, 2018 and
the ultimate resource limiting pit shell generated at year-end 2018, excluding any surface stockpiles.
Cut-off grade for oxide material is 0.134 g/t Au and 0.288 g/t Au for transition and non-oxide material.
The reserves for Mesquite are based on the conversion of the Measured and Indicated resources
within the current mine plan. Measured Resources are converted to Proven Reserves and Indicated
Resources are converted directly to Probable Reserves. Mineral reserves are stated within the final
design pit based on a $1,250/oz gold price. The cutoff grade for oxide material is 0.15 g/t and 0.31
g/t for transition and non-oxide material. The mining cost averaged $1.45/t mined, processing costs
are $1.81/t ore and G&A was $0.75/t ore placed. The ore recoveries were 75% for oxide, and 35%
for transition and non-oxide material.
• The Aurizona reserve estimate was disclosed in the “Feasibility Study on the Aurizona Gold Mine
Project” prepared by Lycopodium Minerals Canada Ltd. with an effective date of July 10, 2017, which
is available for download on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Mineral Reserve estimate has an
effective date of May 29, 2017 and is based on the Mineral Resource estimate dated January 5,
2017 and prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. The Mineral reserve calculation was completed
under the supervision of Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng of AGP, who is a Qualified Person as defined
under NI 43-101. Mineral Reserves are stated within the final design pit based on a $1,056 per
ounce gold price pit shell with a $1,200 per ounce gold price for revenue. The cutoff grade was 0.60
g/t Au for the Piaba pit area and 0.41 g/t Au for the Boa Esperança area. The mining cost averaged
$2.32/tonne mined, processing averages $11.30/tonne milled and G&A was $2.88/tonne milled. The
process recovery averaged 90.3%. The exchange rate assumption applied was R$3.30 equal to
US$1.00. The 2018 Piaba open-pit, Piaba underground and Boa Esperança open-pit resource
estimates, with an effective date of October 22, 2018, were prepared by Trevor Rabb, P.Geo (EGBC
#39599), B.Sc., who is a “qualified person” within the meaning of NI 43-101. Mr. Rabb is an
employee of Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. and is considered to be “independent” for the

• The Castle Mountain Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates were disclosed in the "NI 43-
101 Technical Report on the Preliminary Feasibility Study for the Castle Mountain Project" prepared
by Kappes, Cassiday and Associates with an effective date of July 16, 2018, which is available for
download on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Mineral Reserve estimate with an effective date of
June 29, 2018 is based on the Mineral Resource estimate with an effective date of March 29, 2018
that was prepared by Don Tschabrun, SME RM of Mine Technical Services. The Mineral Reserve
was estimated by Global Resource Engineering, LLC with supervision by Terre Lane, MMSA, SME
RM. Mineral Reserves are estimated within the final designed pit which is based on the $850/oz pit
shell with a gold price of $1,250/oz. The minimum cut-off grade was 0.14 g/t gold and 0.17 g/t gold
for Phases 1 and 2, respectively. Average life of mine costs are $1.39/tonne mining, $2.11/tonne
processing, and $0.80/tonne processed G&A. The average process recovery was 72.4% for ROM
and 94% for Mill/CIL. The Mineral Resource is based on a gold cut-off grade of 0.17 g/t. The Mineral
Resource is contained within an LG shell limit using a $1,400 gold price as well as cost and recovery
parameters presented in the technical report. Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
