1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Equinox Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Equinox Gold”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 23, 2007. Equinox Gold’s primary listing is on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada where its common shares trade under the symbol “EQX”. The Company’s shares also trade on the NYSE American Stock Exchange in the United States under the symbol “EQX”. The Company’s corporate office is at Suite 1501, 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8.
Equinox Gold is a mining company engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, with a focus on gold.
On May 13, 2024, the Company completed the Greenstone Acquisition, resulting in Equinox Gold owning 100% of the Greenstone Mine (note 3).
All of the Company’s principal properties are located in the Americas. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s principal properties and material subsidiaries are wholly owned. Details of the Company’s principal properties and material subsidiaries are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Ownership interest | Location | Principal property | Principal activity |
Subsidiary | | | | |
Western Mesquite Mines, Inc. | 100 | % | USA | Mesquite Mine (“Mesquite”) | Production |

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c)Material accounting policies
Except as described in notes 2(e), 3, and 9(b), the material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(d)Critical judgements
Except as described in notes 3, 7 and 9(b), the critical judgements made by management in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effects on amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(e)Amended IFRS standards effective January 1, 2024
In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1), which amended IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) to clarify the requirements for presenting liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current. In October 2022, the IASB issued Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, which amended IAS 1 to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period is subject to compliance with covenants and to clarify how such compliance affects the classification of the liability as current or non-current.
For a liability to be classified as non-current, the amendments removed the requirement for the Company’s right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period to be ‘unconditional’ and instead require that the Company’s right must exist at the end of the reporting period. In addition, the amendments clarify that: (a) classification is unaffected by management’s intentions or expectations about whether the Company will exercise its right to defer settlement; (b) for loan arrangements that are subject to covenants, only covenants that the Company must comply with on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current at such date; (c) if the Company’s right to defer settlement is subject to the Company complying with covenants on or before the reporting date, such covenants affect whether the Company’s right exists at the end of the reporting period even if compliance with the covenant is assessed only after the reporting period; and (d) the term settlement includes the transfer of the Company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability, except when the settlement of the liability with the Company transferring its own equity instruments is at the option of the counterparty and such option has been classified as an equity instrument, separate from the host liability.
The amendments also require new disclosures for non-current liabilities that are subject to future covenants to help users understand the risk that those liabilities could become repayable within 12 months after the reporting date. The required annual disclosures include (i) the nature of the covenants; (ii) when the Company is required to comply with the covenants; (iii) the carrying amounts of the related liabilities; and (iv) facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate the Company may have difficulty complying with the covenants.
The Company applied the above amendments effective January 1, 2024. The Company has disclosed, in note 8(a), the required information relating to covenants to which it must comply in respect of its credit facility, which is classified as non-current at September 30, 2024.
3. GREENSTONE ACQUISITION
On May 13, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of OMF Fund II (SC) Ltd. (“OMF Fund”), an entity that holds a 40% interest in Greenstone, from certain funds managed by Orion Mine Finance Management LP (collectively, “Orion”) for total consideration of $960.9 million. The acquisition resulted in the Company owning 100% of Greenstone.
Prior to the completion of the Greenstone Acquisition, Greenstone was a joint operation in which the Company had a 60% interest and the Company’s share of Greenstone’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses was proportionately consolidated. Upon completion of the Greenstone Acquisition, the Company obtained control of Greenstone. The Company determined that Greenstone constitutes a business and that the Greenstone Acquisition represents a business combination achieved in stages.

3. GREENSTONE ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)
A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that consist of inputs and processes, including a substantive process, that when applied to those inputs, have the ability to create or significantly contribute to the creation of outputs that generate investment income or other income from ordinary activities. When acquiring a set of activities or assets in the exploration or development stage, which may not have outputs at the acquisition date, the Company considers other factors to determine whether the set of activities or assets is a business. In this case, an acquired process is considered substantive when: (i) the acquired process is critical to the ability to develop the acquired inputs into outputs; and (ii) the inputs acquired include both an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform the process and other inputs that the organized workforce could develop into outputs.
A business combination is a transaction whereby the Company acquires and obtains control of a set of activities and assets that constitutes a business. The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method whereby identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, are recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date. The acquisition date is the date on which the Company obtains control over the acquiree, which is generally the date that consideration is transferred and the Company acquires control of the assets and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree. The consideration transferred is measured at fair value and allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
In a business combination achieved in stages whereby the Company obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, the Company remeasures its share of assets and liabilities of the joint operation immediately before the acquisition date of the business combination at their acquisition-date fair values, and recognizes the resulting gain or loss in profit or loss.
The total purchase price, consisting of the acquisition-date fair value of total consideration transferred and the Company’s previously held interest in Greenstone immediately prior to the acquisition date, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Cash consideration | | $ | 705,037 | |
Deferred cash consideration(1) | | 38,254 | |
Share consideration(2) | | 217,640 | |
Total consideration transferred | | 960,931 | |
Fair value of previously held 60% interest in Greenstone(3) | | 1,645,914 | |
Total purchase price | | $ | 2,606,845 | |
(1) As part of the consideration for the Greenstone Acquisition, the Company issued a non-interest-bearing promissory note to Orion with a principal amount of $40.0 million and maturity date of December 31, 2024 (the “Orion Note”). The acquisition-date fair value of the Orion Note of $38.3 million was calculated as the present value of the future cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest for similar instruments. At September 30, 2024, the balance of the Orion Note included in other current liabilities was $39.3 million.
(2) The fair value of the 42.0 million common shares issued to Orion was determined based on the Company’s quoted common share price of C$7.09 per share on the acquisition date.
(3) The Company recognized a gain of $470.4 million before income taxes in other (expense) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 on remeasurement of its 60% share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values, net of the cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $38.5 million reclassified to net income ($322.8 million, net of deferred income tax expense of $147.6 million).

3. GREENSTONE ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)
In accordance with the acquisition method, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their acquisition-date fair values. The following table summarizes the acquisition-date fair values and recognized amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, certain of which have been measured on a provisional basis.
| | | | | | | | |
Assets (liabilities) | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 2,361 | |
Receivables | | 7,379 | |

Other liabilities(5)(6) | | (163,521) | |
Fair value of net assets acquired(7) | | $ | 2,606,845 | |
(1) Included in current inventories.
(2) Of the total fair value of $15.7 million, $2.3 million and $13.4 million was included in other current assets and non-current restricted cash, respectively.
(3) The deferred revenue assumed on acquisition relates to a gold stream arrangement that Orion previously entered into with a third party whereby the Company is required to deliver an amount of refined gold equal to 2.375% of the total gold produced from Greenstone until the Company has delivered a cumulative total of 120,333 ounces, and 1.583% of the total gold production from Greenstone thereafter (the “Stream Arrangement”) (note 9(b)).
(4) Of the total fair value of $29.2 million, $3.3 million and $25.9 million was included in other current liabilities and non-current reclamation and closure cost provisions, respectively.
(5) Other liabilities include a contingent consideration derivative liability from a prior acquisition (the “Greenstone Contingent Consideration”) (note 10(b)(iii)), an equipment financing facility (the “Equipment Facility”) (note 16), and lease liabilities. Of the total fair value of $51.7 million for the Greenstone Contingent Consideration, $17.2 million and $34.5 million was classified as current and non-current, respectively. Of the total fair value of $48.9 million for the Equipment Facility, $7.2 million and $41.7 million was included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively. Of the total fair value of $44.3 million for lease liabilities, $11.5 million and $32.8 million was included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively.
(6) The fair values of inventories, mineral properties, plant and equipment, deferred revenue, reclamation and closure cost provision, deferred income tax liabilities and the Greenstone Contingent Consideration have been measured on a provisional basis and are subject to change, pending completion of the valuation process. If new information is obtained during the measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and that would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date, the amounts recognized will be retrospectively adjusted. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the necessary information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, or learns that more information is not obtainable, and must not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
(7) The total fair value of net assets acquired includes the Company’s share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone immediately before the business combination.

3. GREENSTONE ACQUISITION (CONTINUED)
The fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires that management make certain judgements and estimates taking into account information available at the time of acquisition about future events, including, but not limited to, estimates of mineral reserves and resources acquired, future operating costs and capital expenditures, future metal prices, and tax rates. The Company retained an independent valuation specialist to assist with determination of the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of inventories was estimated based on the expected future cash flows from sales of gold produced less estimated costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and associated selling costs. The fair value of mineral properties was estimated using a discounted cash flow model for mineral reserves and an in-situ value for unmodelled mineral resources. Significant inputs used in determining the expected future cash flows include estimates of future gold prices, production based on current estimates of mineral reserves, and future operating and capital expenditures. The fair value of plant and equipment was estimated based on the estimated replacement cost. The fair values of deferred revenue, reclamation and closure cost provision, the Greenstone Contingent Consideration and the Equipment Facility were estimated using discounted cash flow models using discount rates that reflect the risks inherent in the expected future cash flows at the acquisition date. Significant inputs used in determining the expected future cash flows associated with the Stream Arrangement deferred revenue include estimates of the quantities and timing of future gold deliveries and future gold prices. Significant inputs used in determining the expected future cash flows associated with the reclamation and closure cost provision include timing of expenditures required to settle the obligation. Significant inputs used in determining the expected future cash flows associated with the Greenstone Contingent Consideration include assumptions related to the achievement of production milestones and future gold prices.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition totaling $0.8 million were expensed and presented as professional fees within general and administration expense.
Consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes the revenue of OMF Fund since the acquisition date in the amount of $43.9 million and $53.4 million, respectively. Consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes the net income of OMF Fund since the acquisition date in the amount of $5.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Had the transaction occurred on January 1, 2024, there would be no impact to the unaudited consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and proforma unaudited net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 would have been approximately $237.4 million.

On June 5, 2024, the Company’s investment in Versamet was reduced to 13.4% (December 31, 2023 – 20.3%). Based on the Company’s share of outstanding voting rights held, the Company determined that it no longer had significant influence over Versamet. Accordingly, the Company discontinued the use of the equity method to account for its investment in Versamet as of June 5, 2024. The carrying amount of the Company’s interest in Versamet was reclassified from investment in associate to non-current financial assets measured at fair value through OCI. The Company recognized a gain of $5.6 million in other (expense) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment of $33.9 million and the carrying amount of the investment on the date of reclassification.
At September 30, 2024, the fair value of Company’s investment in Versamet included in other non-current assets was $33.9 million. The fair value of the Company’s investment at June 5, 2024 and September 30, 2024 was determined based on the market price of C$0.80 per common share issued by Versamet in June 2024 and August 2024, respectively.

(a)Credit facility
On April 9, 2024, the Company drew down $60.0 million on the Company’s $700 million revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”).
On May 13, 2024, in connection with the Greenstone Acquisition (note 3), the Company amended its credit facility to include a $500 million non-revolving term loan with a maturity date of May 13, 2027 (the “Term Loan”). No principal repayments are required under the Term Loan during the first two years of the three-year term. Quarterly repayments will commence on August 13, 2026 equal to 10% of the then outstanding principal amount, with the remaining outstanding principal payable at maturity. The Company may prepay any portion of the outstanding Term Loan at any time without penalty.
Except for amendments to certain of the financial covenants, there were no changes to the terms of the Revolving Facility. The Term Loan, together with the Revolving Facility, are collectively referred to as the Credit Facility. The amendment to the Credit Facility was accounted for as a non-substantial modification. On amendment, the Company recognized a modification gain of $3.5 million in other (expense) income to reflect the adjusted amortized cost of the Credit Facility, net of transaction costs of $7.6 million incurred on modification.
At September 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan was $589.3 million and $489.8 million, respectively (December 31, 2023 – $527.4 million and nil, respectively). At September 30, 2024, there was $104.6 million undrawn on the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan was fully drawn.
The amounts drawn under the Credit Facility are subject to variable monthly interest rates at the applicable term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% to 4.50% per annum, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% to 0.25%, based on the interest period.
The Credit Facility is secured by a first ranking security interest over all present and future property and assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries.
The Credit Facility is subject to standard conditions and covenants. At September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants. To maintain the classification of the liability as non-current, the Company is required to comply with future covenants which include: (a) a maximum senior net debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and depletion, and certain other adjustments for the preceding 12 months (“Rolling EBITDA”) ratio; (b) a maximum total net debt to Rolling EBITDA ratio; (c) a minimum Rolling EBITDA to interest expense for the preceding 12 months ratio; (d) a minimum tangible net worth; and (e) minimum liquidity.

In April and May 2024, the Company amended the terms of its 2019 and 2020 convertible notes (the “2019 Convertible Notes” and “2020 Convertible Notes”, respectively) to: (a) extend the maturity dates of the 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes from April 12, 2024 to October 12, 2024, and March 10, 2025 to September 10, 2025, respectively; (b) amend the conversion price of the 2020 Convertible Notes from $7.80 per share to $6.50 per share; and (c) amend certain of the financial covenants.
Modifications of multiple financial instruments held by the same party that are entered into at the same time and in contemplation of each other are assessed together as one modification agreement. As a result, the amendments to certain of the 2019 Convertible Notes and certain of the 2020 Convertible Notes were assessed as one modification. In determining whether the modification of a compound instrument is substantive, resulting in the extinguishment and derecognition of the existing financial liability and recognition of new financial liability at its fair value on the date of modification, the Company performs a quantitative and qualitative assessment. A quantitative assessment is performed on the modification to the liability component to determine whether the present value of the contractual cash flows under the new terms discounted using the original effective interest rate is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining contractual cash flows under the original terms. A qualitative assessment is performed on the modification of the whole compound instrument which includes considering the effects of the modification on the equity component and determining whether the change in fair value of the equity component as of the date of modification as compared to the sum of the fair values of the liability and equity components immediately prior to modification is greater than 10%.
The amendments to the 2020 Convertible Notes were considered substantial modifications and accounted for as early redemptions of the existing compound instruments. On modification, the Company recognized a new financial liability in the amount of $132.0 million, representing the fair values of the liability components of the new compound instruments, calculated as the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining term using a discount rate of 8.7%. In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $1.7 million, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the existing liability component on the date of modification and the carrying amount of $136.2 million derecognized, in other (expense) income and an increase to reserves within equity for the residual amount of $1.8 million, net of tax of $0.7 million.
The amendment to certain of the 2019 Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal of $130.0 million was considered a substantial modification. On modification, the Company recognized a new financial liability in the amount of $127.3 million, representing the fair value of the liability component of the new compound instrument, calculated as the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining term using a discount rate of 9.3%. In addition, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of the existing financial liability of $130.0 million and recognized an increase to reserves within equity for the residual amount of $2.0 million, net of tax of $0.7 million.
The 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes are secured by a second ranking security interest over all present and future assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries, and are subordinate to the Credit Facility.
The 2019 Convertible Notes and 2020 Convertible Notes are subject to standard conditions and covenants. At September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants.
In October 2024, the 2019 Convertible Notes were fully converted into common shares of the Company at the holders’ option at the conversion price of $5.25 per share. On conversion of the 2019 Convertible Notes, the Company issued a total of 26.6 million common shares.

(1) The current portion of deferred revenue represents the amounts of gold expected to be delivered within 12 months of the reporting date.
(a)Gold purchase and sale arrangement
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company delivered 4,500 gold ounces under the gold purchase and sale arrangement with Versamet. The Company received an average cash consideration of $459 per ounce, representing 20% of the spot gold price at the time of delivery. Total revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consists of the cash consideration received on delivery and the portion of the deferred revenue obligation satisfied during the period, amounted to $3.6 million and $10.6 million, respectively (2023 – nil).
(b)Stream Arrangement
As part of the Greenstone Acquisition on May 13, 2024 (note 3), the Company assumed the obligation under the Stream Arrangement. Under the Stream Arrangement, the Company is required to deliver an amount of refined gold equal to 2.375% of the gold produced from Greenstone, until the Company has delivered a cumulative total of 120,333 ounces, and 1.583% of the gold production from Greenstone thereafter. In exchange for the gold deliveries, the Company will receive consideration equal to 20% of the spot gold price at the time of delivery.
Management concluded that while gold is a commodity that is readily convertible to cash, the Company is able to and intends to satisfy the required gold deliveries using its own gold production, thereby meeting the criteria of being held for the purpose of delivery of the non-financial item in accordance with the Company’s expected sale requirements to not be accounted for as a financial instrument. Accordingly, the Stream Arrangement is accounted for as a contract with a customer. The carrying amount of deferred revenue will be accreted to the estimated transaction price using the effective interest method. When there is a change in the life-of-mine production profile of Greenstone, the estimated transaction price will be updated and re-allocated to the total number of ounces expected to be delivered under the Stream Arrangement, which may result in an adjustment to the cumulative revenue recognized during the period of change.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company delivered 1,172 gold ounces under the Stream Arrangement. The Company received an average cash consideration of $489 per ounce, representing 20% of the spot gold price at the time of delivery. Total revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consists of the cash consideration received on delivery and the portion of the deferred revenue obligation satisfied during the period, amounted to $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively (2023 – nil).

The total of 19,343 deferred ounces will be delivered evenly over May 2026 to September 2026 (the “Deferral Period”). As consideration for the deferral, the Company will deliver an additional 1,582 gold ounces over the Deferral Period.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into the following three levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly, such as prices, or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for which market data are not available.
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure the fair values are categorized are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
At September 30, 2024 | Level 1(3) | | Level 2(4) | | Level 3(5) | | Total |

(1)Includes current and non-current derivatives (note 10).
(2)Other financial assets measured at fair value at September 30, 2024 relate to the Company’s convertible note receivable from Bear Creek Mining Corporation (the “Bear Creek Convertible Note”) and the Company’s investment in Versamet (note 7), both included in other non-current assets. Other financial assets measured at fair value at December 31, 2023 relate to the Bear Creek Convertible Note.
(3)The fair values of marketable securities are based on the quoted market price of the underlying securities.

(Unaudited)
18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value (continued)
(4)The fair values of certain derivative assets and certain derivative liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs. The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency contracts are based on forward foreign exchange rates and the fair values of the Company’s gold contracts are based on forward gold prices.
The fair value of the Bear Creek Convertible Note is determined using FINCAD’s convertible debt valuation model based on the contractual terms of the convertible note and market-derived inputs including Bear Creek’s share price and share price volatility, and a market interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the financial instrument.
(5)The fair value of the Company’s investment in Versamet is measured using a market approach with reference to the market price of Versamet’s common shares in recent transactions, adjusted to reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset, including assumptions about risks, based on available information.
The fair values of the Company’s power purchase agreement at Santa Luz and the Greenstone Contingent Consideration are measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s power purchase agreement at Santa Luz is calculated as the net present value of the expected future cash flows based on contractual and projected future energy prices discounted using a market interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the liability. The fair value of the Greenstone Contingent Consideration is calculated as the present value of projected future cash flows using a market interest rate that reflects the risk associated with the delivery of the contingent consideration. The projected cash flows are affected by assumptions related to the achievement of production milestones.
There were no amounts transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
(b)Financial assets and financial liabilities not already measured at fair value
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other current receivables, restricted cash, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
The fair values of the Company’s other financial liabilities, excluding lease liabilities, that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position as compared to the carrying amounts were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
