Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) (“Equinox Gold” or the “Company”) today provides a corporate update.

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.

Equinox Gold continues to enforce stringent operational and safety procedures across the Company to help protect the safety of its workforce and communities in accordance with guidelines outlined by the World Health Organization and the local, state and federal governments at each of its operations. The Company has also developed contingency plans to support business continuity and help protect the economic wellbeing of its workforce, suppliers and local communities. The Company is monitoring the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation and will adjust its response as necessary.

Exercise of Non-dilution Rights
In connection with the merger completed on March 10, 2020 between Equinox Gold and Leagold Mining Corporation (“Leagold”), the Pacific Road Resources Funds have provided notice to the Company of the exercise of their pre-existing non-dilution rights and will acquire 461,947 Equinox Gold common shares (the “Shares”) for proceeds to the Company of $2,854,832 and $9,278,209 aggregate principal amount of 5-year convertible notes (the “Notes”). The Notes will bear interest at 4.75% and will be convertible into Equinox Gold common shares at a fixed price of $7.80 per share. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Shares and Notes for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Standby Loan
Further to the Equinox Gold news releases dated August 2, 2018 and December 30, 2019, the standby loan arrangement between Equinox Gold and its Chairman, Ross Beaty, has been amended and restated to extend the term from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020.

Reliance on Temporary Filing Relief
On March 23, 2020, Canadian securities regulators published temporary blanket relief for market participants from certain regulatory filings as a result of COVID-19. The Company intends to rely on the temporary blanket relief which provides for a 45-day extension to file its Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the year ended December 31, 2019. Equinox Gold now expects to file its AIF on or before April 15, 2020. Further, the Company’s directors, officers and other insiders will be subject to a trading blackout until such time as the AIF is filed and the Company confirms that, other than completion of the merger with Leagold on March 10, 2020, there have been no material business developments that have occurred subsequent to the filing of the Company’s December 31, 2019 Financial Statements on March 2, 2020.
