COVID-19 Pandemic Response

As a result of local government restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has temporarily suspended mining activities for 15 days at the RDM Mine in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The mill will continue to operate and process lower-grade ore stockpiles until the restrictions are lifted and mining recommences. To date there are no confirmed or presumptive cases of the COVID-19 virus at any of the Company’s operations or offices and Equinox Gold’s other producing mines continue to operate normally.
