**Management's Responsibility for Financial Reporting**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Equinox Gold Corp. and its subsidiaries ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") and all the information in the annual report are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Financial statements are not exact since they include certain amounts that have been calculated based on estimates and judgements. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Management has prepared the financial information presented elsewhere in the annual report and has ensured that it is consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.

Equinox Gold maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative controls to provide, on a reasonable basis, assurance that its financial information is relevant, reliable and accurate and that the Company's assets are appropriately accounted for and adequately safeguarded. The Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 is based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board of Directors carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee ("Committee").

The Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors, and all of its members are independent directors. The Committee meets at least four times a year with management, as well as the external auditors, to discuss internal controls over financial reporting, auditing matters and financial reporting issues, to satisfy itself that each party is properly discharging its responsibilities, and to review the quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the external auditors' reports. The Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for consideration when approving the consolidated financial statements for issuance to the Company's shareholders. The Committee also considers, for review by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) on behalf of the Company's shareholders. KPMG LLP has full and free access to the Committee.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Equinox Gold Corp.

***Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Equinox Gold Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 20, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matter***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Fair value measurement of mineral properties acquired in the acquisition of Calibre Mining Corp. ("Calibre Acquisition")*

As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, on June 17, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Calibre Mining Corp. The Calibre Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The total purchase price of $1,969,074 thousand was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition-date fair values. The Company recognized the acquisition-date fair value of mineral properties, plant and equipment of $2,925,832 thousand. The fair value of mineral properties of $2,020,450 thousand was estimated using a discounted cash flow models for mineral reserves and an in-situ value for unmodelled

------

mineral resources. Significant inputs used in determining the fair value of mineral properties include estimates of the appropriate discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future gold prices, production based on current estimates of mineral reserves, future operating and capital expenditures and the in-situ value per ounce of gold for unmodeled mineral resources based on comparable market transactions.

We identified the evaluation of the fair value measurement of mineral properties acquired in the Calibre Acquisition as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the inputs used to estimate the acquisition-date fair value of mineral properties. Significant assumptions used in the determination of the fair value included estimates of the appropriate discount rates, future gold prices and foreign exchange rates, production based on current mineral reserves, future operating and capital expenditures and the in-situ value per ounce of gold for unmodelled mineral resources based on comparable market transactions. Changes in any of these assumptions could have had a significant effect on the determination of the fair value measurement of mineral properties acquired.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's process to determine the fair value measurement of mineral properties acquired in the Calibre Acquisition. This included controls over the Company's development of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the acquired mineral properties. We evaluated the reasonableness of production, operating and capital expenditures assumptions by comparing them to historical information, a third-party technical report and management's specialists reports. We evaluated the competence, experience, and objectivity of management's specialists who provided the reports with respect to production, operating and capital expenditures. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in (1) assessing the Company's future gold prices and foreign exchange rates by comparing to third party estimates; (2) evaluating the Company's discount rates by comparing to an estimate independently developed using publicly available third-party sources and (3) evaluating the Company's estimates of the in-situ value per ounce of gold for unmodelled mineral resources by assessing the Company's approach to determining this assumption and comparing it to independent sources and market data for comparable entities where available.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Equinox Gold Corp.

***Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting***

We have audited Equinox Gold Corp.'s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 20, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired Calibre Mining Corp. during 2025, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, Calibre Mining Corp.'s internal control over financial reporting associated with total revenues of $604.0 million, net income of $80.7 million, total current assets of $415.2 million, total non-current assets of $1,793.7 million, total current liabilities of $474.6 million and total non-current liabilities of $499.3 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Calibre Mining Corp.

***Basis for Opinion***

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the Management's Discussion Analysis under the heading "Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures". Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*** 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BASIS OF PREPARATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 20, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Basis of consolidation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Subsidiaries

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial position and results of operations of Calibre are included in these consolidated financial statements from June 17, 2025. From May 13, 2024, following the completion of the Greenstone Acquisition, 100% of the financial position and results of operations of Greenstone is included in these consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Joint operation

Prior to the completion of the Greenstone Acquisition on May 13, 2024, Greenstone was accounted for as a joint operation and the Company's 60% share of Greenstone's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses was proportionately consolidated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Presentation currency

Except as otherwise noted, these consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("$", "US dollars" or "USD"). All references to C$ are to Canadian dollars ("CAD").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the US dollar.

Foreign exchange gains and losses related to transactions and balances denominated in non-US dollar currencies are recognized in net income or loss, except for foreign exchange gains and losses relating to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") which are recognized in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis within other income or expense.

Prior to reaching commercial production in November 2024, the functional currency of Greenstone was the Canadian dollar. In November 2024, the functional currency of Greenstone changed from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar. The change in Greenstone's functional currency was accounted for prospectively as of the date of change, whereby all assets and liabilities of Greenstone were translated into its US dollar functional currency using the exchange rate as of such date with the resulting exchange differences recognized in OCI. The translated amounts for non-monetary items as of the date of change in functional currency are treated as their historical costs. Cumulative exchange differences recognized in OCI will remain in accumulated OCI unless the Company disposes of the entities in which its interest in Greenstone is held, at which time the cumulative amount of exchange differences related to the entity disposed of will be reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Reclassification of comparative amounts

Certain of the prior year comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Business combinations

A business combination is a transaction whereby the Company acquires and obtains control of a business. 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 and assets in the exploration or development stage, which may not have outputs at the acquisition date, the Company determines whether the set of activities and assets include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. An acquired process is considered substantive when: (i) the process is critical to the ability to develop or convert 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.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method whereby 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 acquisition date. Liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities that represent a present obligation arising from past events.

In a business combination achieved in stages whereby the Company obtains control of a business that is a joint operation in which it held an interest immediately before the acquisition date, 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 net income or loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Inventories

Stockpiled ore, heap leach ore, work-in-process and finished goods inventories are measured at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value ("NRV"). Costs include the cost of direct labour and materials, mine-site overhead expenses and depreciation and depletion of related mineral properties, plant and equipment. NRV is calculated as the estimated price at the time of expected sale based on prevailing metal prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and selling costs.

Stockpiled ore inventories represent ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. The costs included in stockpiled ore inventories are based on mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore and are removed at the weighted average cost as ore is processed.

Heap leach ore inventories represent ore that is being processed through heap leaching. Costs are added to heap leach ore inventories based on mining and leaching costs incurred. Costs are removed from heap leach ore inventories as ounces of recoverable gold are transferred to the plant for further processing based on the average cost per recoverable ounce on the leach pads.

Work-in-process inventories represent ore that is in the process of being converted into finished goods, other than by heap leaching. The costs included in work-in-process inventories represent the weighted average mining cost of ore being processed and the processing costs incurred prior to the refining process.

The average cost of finished goods represents the average cost of work-in-process inventories incurred prior to the refining process, plus applicable refining costs and associated royalties.

Supplies inventories include the costs of consumables, including freight, to be used in operations and is measured at the lower of average cost and NRV, with replacement costs being the typical measure of NRV.

Write-downs of inventories to NRV are included in cost of sales in the period of the write-down. A write-down of inventories is reversed in a subsequent period if there is a subsequent increase in the NRV of the related inventories.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Mineral properties, plant and equipment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Mineral properties and construction-in-progress

Mineral properties and construction-in-progress include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Costs of acquired producing and development stage properties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Costs reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capitalized mine development costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Construction costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deferred stripping costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimates of reclamation and closure costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Borrowing costs incurred that are attributable to qualifying mineral properties, plant and equipment.

Costs of producing and development stage properties acquired are included in mineral properties. Mine development costs and associated plant construction costs, which include borrowing costs where applicable, are capitalized to construction-in-progress until the mine reaches commercial production and the underlying asset is commissioned, at which point the capitalized development and construction costs are reclassified to mineral properties or plant and equipment, respectively. Mine development costs are costs incurred to obtain access to mineral reserves and represent those expenditures incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability, technical feasibility and commercial viability of a project, and after receipt of approval for project expenditures from the Board of Directors. Commercial production is the point at which a mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

During the production phase of a mine, development costs incurred to maintain current production are included in operating expense. For an underground mine, these costs include the development and access (tunneling) costs of production drifts to develop the ore body in the current production cycle. Development costs incurred to build new shafts, declines and ramps that enable permanent access to underground ore are capitalized.

Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of an open pit mine, including depreciation of related plant and equipment, are included in operating expense unless the criteria for capitalizing these costs as described below are met. Stripping costs capitalized during the production phase of a mine are referred to as deferred stripping assets. Deferred stripping assets are recognized and included as part of the carrying amount of the related mineral property when the following three criteria are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is probable that the future economic benefit (improved access to ore that will be mined in future periods and that would not have otherwise been accessible) associated with the stripping activity will flow to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company can identify the component of the ore body for which access has been improved; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The costs relating to the stripping activity associated with that component can be measured reliably.

Capitalized stripping costs are depleted using the units-of-production method over the reserves that directly benefit from the specific stripping activity. Costs incurred for regular waste removal that do not give rise to future economic benefits are included in operating expense.

Mineral properties are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment losses. Mineral properties are depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated total ounces to be extracted in current and future periods based on proven and probable reserves and, in the case of certain mines, measured and indicated resources. Depletion of mineral properties begins when the mine reaches commercial production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Mineral properties, plant and equipment (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Mineral properties and construction-in-progress (continued)

Depreciation and depletion of capitalized mine development and construction costs begin when the mine reaches commercial production and the costs have been reclassified to mineral properties or plant and equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation activity includes exploratory drilling and sampling, surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements, and gathering exploration data through geophysical studies.

The Company capitalizes direct costs of acquiring exploration properties as exploration and evaluation assets. Option payments are considered acquisition costs if the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.

Exploration and evaluation costs incurred on sites without an existing mine and on areas outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit that contains proven and probable reserves are expensed as incurred up to the date of establishing that the project is technically feasible and commercially viable, and upon receipt of approval for project expenditures from the Board of Directors. When approval for project expenditures is received, the related capitalized acquisition costs are assessed for impairment and reclassified to mineral properties. If no economically viable ore body is discovered, previously capitalized acquisition costs are expensed in the period that the project is determined to be uneconomical or abandoned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of plant and equipment consists of the purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and, where applicable, borrowing costs.

The carrying amounts of plant and equipment are depreciated to the residual values, if any, using either (a) the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the life of the mine or (b) the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable ounces. For right-of-use assets that do not include the exercise price of a purchase option in the measurement of the assets, the depreciation period represents the period from lease commencement date to the earlier of the useful life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. For right-of-use assets that include the exercise price of a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise in the measurement of the assets, the depreciation period is the period from lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Depreciation begins when the plant or equipment is capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The useful lives of plant and equipment are reviewed annually and, if required, adjusted prospectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Financial instruments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Directly attributable transaction costs associated with financial assets and financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") are expensed as incurred, while directly attributable transaction costs associated with all other financial assets and financial liabilities are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Financial instruments (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Recognition and measurement (continued)

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets and financial liabilities are classified and measured as follows:

<u>Financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost</u>

Financial assets are classified as and subsequently measured at amortized cost if: (i) the objective of the Company's business model for managing the financial assets is to collect their contractual cash flows; and (ii) the financial assets' contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding ("SPPI"). The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, and other current and non-current receivables are classified as and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are classified as and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Finance income or expense for financial assets and financial liabilities, respectively, measured at amortized cost, is recognized using the effective interest method.

For financial assets, the amortized cost includes an adjustment for credit loss allowance, if applicable.

<u>Derivative assets and liabilities at FVTPL</u>

A derivative is defined as having the following characteristics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable, provided in the case of a non-financial variable that the variable is not specific to a party to the contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is settled at a future date.

A derivative that is not classified as an equity instrument is initially recognized as a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into. The fair values of derivatives are remeasured at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair values recognized in other income or expense.

A derivative that will be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash in terms of its functional currency or another financial asset is classified as an equity instrument, rather than a financial liability. As the exercise price of the share purchase warrants assumed as part of the Calibre Acquisition is denominated in CAD, the Company will receive a variable amount of cash in terms of the Company's US dollar functional currency in exchange for a fixed amount of shares upon exercise of the warrants by the holders. Accordingly, the share purchase warrants are accounted for as derivatives measured at FVTPL.

<u>Non-derivative financial assets at FVTPL</u>

Non-derivative financial assets are classified as and subsequently measured at FVTPL, with changes in fair values recognized in net income or loss, if they are not held within a business model whose objective includes collecting the financial assets' contractual cash flows or the contractual cash flows of the financial assets do not represent SPPI.

The convertible note receivable included in other non-current assets is classified as and subsequently measured at FVTPL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Financial instruments (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Recognition and measurement (continued)

<u>Equity investments at FVOCI</u>

On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably elect to classify investments in equity instruments as investments measured at FVOCI (on an individual instrument basis) and present subsequent changes in the fair value of these investments in OCI. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in OCI is reclassified to retained earnings or deficit upon disposition of the investment in equity instrument.

The Company's investments in marketable securities, including its investment in Versamet Royalties Corporation ("Versamet") which was included in other non-current assets at December 31, 2024, which are not held for trading, are classified as and measured at FVOCI.

<u>Compound financial instruments</u>

The Company's convertible notes issued, except for the convertible notes it assumed as part of the Calibre Acquisition (the "2025 Convertible Notes") as described below as hybrid financial instruments, are compound financial instruments consisting of a financial liability, and a conversion option that represents the holder's right to convert the liability into a fixed number of the Company's common shares which is classified as an equity instrument.

On initial recognition, the financial liability component is measured at fair value, calculated as the present value of the contractual principal and interest payments over the term of the instrument. The equity component is measured at the residual amount, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and fair value of the financial liability component. Directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the financial liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

The financial liability component is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The equity component is not subsequently remeasured. Upon conversion of a convertible note, the carrying amount of the financial liability is reclassified to equity with no gain or loss recognized.

<u>Hybrid financial instruments</u>

The 2025 Convertible Notes are hybrid financial instruments consisting of a debt host financial liability and an embedded conversion option derivative liability. As the exercise price of the conversion option is denominated in CAD, the Company will receive a variable amount of cash in terms of the Company's US dollar functional currency in exchange for a fixed amount of shares upon exercise of the conversion option by the holders. Accordingly, the conversion option is accounted for as a derivative measured at FVTPL.

The debt host component of the 2025 Convertible Notes was initially measured at fair value, calculated as the present value of the contractual principal and interest payments over the term of the instrument, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Modification of contractual cash flows

A substantial modification of the terms of a financial instrument is accounted for as an extinguishment of the existing financial instrument and the recognition of a new financial instrument. 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.

For financial liabilities, terms are considered substantially modified when the present value of contractual cash flows under the new terms discounted using the original effective interest rate ("EIR") is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining contractual cash flows under the original terms. If the difference in present value of the contractual cash flows is less than 10%, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the terms are considered substantially different.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Financial instruments (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Modification of contractual cash flows (continued)

For compound instruments, the Company performs a quantitative and qualitative assessment to determine whether a modification of the terms is considered a substantial modification. A quantitative assessment is performed on the modification of the liability component as described above. 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%.

A gain or loss on extinguishment of a financial liability is recognized in other income or expense.

For non-substantial modifications, the Company recalculates the amortized cost of the financial liability and recognizes a modification gain or loss in other income or expense. The amortized cost of the financial liability is calculated as the present value of the modified contractual cash flows discounted using the original EIR of the financial liability. Transaction costs incurred in connection with the amendments are amortized over the remaining term of the modified financial instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item

A contract to buy or sell a non-financial item that can be settled net in cash or another financial instrument is accounted for as a derivative unless the contract was entered into and continues to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of the non-financial item in accordance with the Company's expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. The criteria for net settlement in cash or another financial instrument is met when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The terms of the contract permit either party to settle net in cash or another financial instrument;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company has a practice of settling similar contracts net in cash or another financial instrument;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company has a practice of taking delivery of the underlying non-financial item and selling it within a short period after delivery for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The non-financial item is readily convertible to cash.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, including mineral properties, plant and equipment, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs of disposal ("FVLCOD"). In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. FVLCOD is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less costs of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, the FVLCOD is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those expected to be used by a market participant. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets are assessed on an individual asset basis when applicable or grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (the cash generating unit or "CGU"). This generally results in the Company identifying each mine or development project as a separate CGU.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in net income or loss. An impairment loss is reversed through net income or loss in the period of reversal and the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of the recoverable amount to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of any applicable depreciation and depletion, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)Provisions

A provision, being a liability of uncertain timing or amount, is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are calculated based on the expected future cash flows discounted, if material, at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for reclamation and closure costs is generally recognized at the time that environmental disturbance occurs. The provision is calculated as the present value of the expenditure required to settle the obligation. Upon initial recognition of the provision, a corresponding amount is added to the carrying amount of the related mineral property and is amortized using the same method as applied to the related asset. Following the initial recognition of the provision, the carrying amount is increased for the unwinding of the discount and adjusted for actual expenditures and changes to the discount rate and the amount or timing of future cash flows required to settle the obligation. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance expense in net income or loss while the effect of the changes to the discount rate and the amount or timing of cash flows are recognized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related mineral property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Leases

Right-of-use assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability. The cost of right-of-use assets is the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments during the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease together with periods covered by extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, and periods covered by termination options that the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest on the lease liability, measured using the discount rate, and decreased by lease payments made. The lease liability is remeasured using an unchanged discount rate when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate. The lease liability is remeasured using a revised discount rate when there is a change in future lease payments resulting from changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets, leases with lease terms that are less than 12 months, and arrangements for the Company's use of land to explore, develop, produce or otherwise use the mineral resource contained in that land. Payments associated with these arrangements are instead recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)Leases (continued)

The Company presents right-of-use assets in the same line item as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that it owns. The Company presents lease liabilities in other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)Share-based payments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Equity-settled share-based payments

The grant-date fair values of equity-settled restricted share units ("RSUs") and restricted share units with performance-based vesting conditions ("pRSUs") are recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to shareholders' equity within reserves.

For equity-settled RSUs and pRSUs with non-market vesting conditions such as completion of a specified service period, the Company estimates the grant-date fair value based on the quoted price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. The amount recognized as an expense over the vesting period is based on management's best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The cumulative amount expensed is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the number of instruments expected to vest.

For equity-settled pRSUs with market vesting conditions, the Company estimates the grant-date fair value using the Monte Carlo method to project the Company's performance and the performance of the relevant market index against which the Company's performance is compared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Cash-settled share-based payments

The fair values of cash-settled share-based payments are recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to liabilities. The liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments are remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with changes in fair values recognized in net income or loss for the period.

The Company's cash-settled share-based payments consist of deferred share units ("DSUs"), certain RSUs and certain pRSUs. The fair values of cash-settled DSUs and RSUs are estimated based on the quoted market price of the Company's common shares. The fair values of cash-settled pRSUs are based on the quoted market price of the Company's common shares and projected performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Revenue recognition

Revenue is principally generated from the sale of gold bullion with each shipment considered as a separate performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue at the point when the customer obtains control of the product. Control is transferred when title has passed to the customer, the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the Company has the present right to payment for the delivery of the gold bullion.

The Company's gold prepay transactions with a syndicate of its existing lenders (the "Gold Prepay Transactions") and gold purchase and sale arrangement with Versamet and another counterparty (the "Gold Purchase and Sale Arrangement") under which it received upfront cash prepayments in exchange for delivering a specified number of gold ounces over a specified delivery period are held for the purpose of delivery of gold in accordance with the Company's expected sale requirements and are accounted for as contracts with customers. The Company's obligation under the gold stream arrangement assumed as part of the Greenstone Acquisition (the "Stream Arrangement") and the gold prepay arrangement assumed as part of the Calibre Acquisition (the "Other Gold Prepay Arrangement") are also accounted for as contracts with customers.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Revenue recognition (continued)

The cash prepayments received under the Gold Prepay Transactions and Gold Purchase and Sale Arrangement, along with the acquisition-date fair value of obligations under the Stream Arrangement and Other Gold Prepay Arrangement, are recognized as deferred revenue. The carrying amount of deferred revenue is amortized to net income or loss as revenue at the time of each gold delivery on a per ounce basis based on the total number of gold ounces to be delivered and the total transaction price.

The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. The transaction price is estimated at the contract inception date based on estimated future gold prices over the delivery period. Certain of the above contracts contain variable consideration based on the spot price of gold at the time of delivery. For these contracts, the estimated transaction price is updated to reflect the spot price of gold at the time of delivery with the change in transaction price recognized as revenue in the period the gold is delivered.

The Stream Arrangement contains variable consideration based on the spot price of gold at the time of delivery and number of total ounces to be delivered based on Greenstone's life-of-mine ("LOM") plan. When there is a change in Greenstone's LOM plan, the estimated transaction price is updated and re-allocated to the total number of ounces expected to be delivered under the contracts, which results in an adjustment to the cumulative revenue recognized in the period in which the change is made.

The difference between the estimated transaction price and the amount recognized as deferred revenue represents the financing component. The carrying amount of deferred revenue is increased to the estimated transaction price using the effective interest method, with a corresponding expense recognized in finance expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition and construction or development of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the Company and the costs can be measured reliably. Management applies judgement on a case-by-case basis to determine whether an asset is a qualifying asset, which is defined as an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognized as finance expense in the period in which they are incurred.

To the extent that the Company borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is the actual net borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period. To the extent that the Company borrows funds generally and uses them for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the cumulative expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate is calculated as the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to all borrowings of the Company, other than specific borrowings, that are outstanding during the period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)Income taxes

Income tax expense or recovery is recognized in net income or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax expense or recovery is the expected income taxes payable or receivable in respect of the taxable income or loss for the period, measured using tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, plus any adjustments recognized during the period for current tax related to prior periods.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)Income taxes (continued)

Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and the amounts attributed to the assets and liabilities for tax purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences, except when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that (i) is not a business combination; (ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss; and (iii) at the time of the transaction does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. In addition, deferred income tax liabilities are not recognized for taxable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that (i) is not a business combination; (ii) at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss; and (iii) at the time of the transaction does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. In addition, deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future. The Company reassesses unrecognized deferred income tax assets at the end of each reporting period and recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred income tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.

The Company is subject to a global minimum top-up tax (referred to as "Pillar Two"). The Company has applied the temporary mandatory relief from recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from Pillar Two legislation that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and accounts for Pillar Two income taxes, if any, as current tax expense in the period they are incurred.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the underlying temporary differences in the period when they reverse based on tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognized and intends either to settle the amounts on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognized and the amounts relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or different taxable entities which intend either to settle the amounts on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

When there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Company assesses whether it is probable that the relevant taxation authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment. This assessment affects the amount of income tax expense or recovery recognized by the Company. If the Company concludes it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Company's calculated income tax expense or recovery reflects the use of the tax treatment. If the Company concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the effect of the uncertainty is reflected in the determination of the Company's income tax expense or recovery based on the most likely amount or, if there are a wide range of possible outcomes, the expected value of the liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)Net income (loss) per share

Basic net income (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting net income or loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of dilutive potential common shares, which comprise equity-settled RSUs and pRSUs, stock options, share purchase warrants and convertible notes.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)Net income (loss) per share (continued)

Potential common shares are dilutive when their conversion to common shares decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from continuing operations. For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, dilutive potential common shares are deemed to have been converted into common shares at the beginning of the period or, if later, the date the potential common shares are issued.

Contingently issuable shares under the Company's pRSUs are included in the diluted EPS calculation based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the reporting date were the end of the contingency period. The dilutive effect of stock options and share purchase warrants assumes that the proceeds from potential exercise of the instruments are used to repurchase the Company's common shares at the average market price for the period. Stock options and share purchase warrants are dilutive and included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent exercise prices are below the average market price of the Company's common shares. The dilutive effect of convertible notes reflects the number of shares that would be issued on conversion of the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)New and amended IFRS standards not yet effective

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued *Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments* which amended IFRS 9, *Financial Instruments* ("IFRS 9") and IFRS 7, *Financial Instruments: Disclosures* ("IFRS 7").

The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify that unless the Company makes an election as described below, a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date, which is the date on which the liability is extinguished. The amendments permit the Company to elect, when settling a financial liability or part of a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, to deem the financial liability, or part of it, to be extinguished before the settlement date if the Company has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in: (a) the Company having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction; (b) the Company having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and (c) the settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.

The amendments to IFRS 7 added requirements relating to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI to disclose separately the change in fair values presented in OCI for investments derecognized during the reporting period and those held at the end of the reporting period. In addition, entities are required to disclose information to help users understand the effect of contingent features that are unrelated to basic lending risks and costs that could change the contractual cash flows of a financial asset measured at amortized cost or FVOCI and financial liability measured at amortized cost.

In accordance with IFRS, the Company applied the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The impacts of the amendments to IFRS 9 will depend on the method and timing of future settlements. The additional disclosures required under the IFRS 7 amendments will be included beginning with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Presentation and disclosure in financial statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 18, *Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements* ("IFRS 18"), which replaces IAS 1, *Presentation of Financial Statements* ("IAS 1"). IFRS 18 sets out requirements for the presentation of information in the primary financial statements and disclosure of information in the notes to the primary financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)New and amended IFRS standards not yet effective (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Presentation and disclosure in financial statements (continued)

IFRS 18 introduces the following new requirements: (a) classification of income and expenses, including foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on derivatives, in the statement of income or loss into one of the following five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations; (b) subtotals for operating income or loss, and income or loss before financing and income taxes in the statement of income or loss; and (c) identification and disclosure of certain information relating to management-defined performance measures in the notes to the primary financial statements. Under IFRS 18, expenses classified in the operating category are summarized and presented in line items based on the nature or function of the expenses, or both.

Information relating to management-defined performance measures required to be disclosed under IFRS 18 includes a reconciliation between the management-defined performance measures and the most directly comparable subtotal in the statement of income or loss, and the income tax effects of each item disclosed in the reconciliation.

Other requirements under IFRS 18 which differ from existing requirements under IAS 1 include changes to the structure of statements of cash flows prepared using the indirect method to begin with operating income or loss, rather than net income or loss.

IFRS 18 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, on a retrospective basis. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY**

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates, including assumptions about the future, that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions made as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on relevant facts and circumstances, and new reliable information or experience. Revisions to estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about critical judgements that management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 that have the most significant effects on amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements and the assumptions and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at December 31, 2025 that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Judgements

<u>Achievement of operating levels intended by management</u>

Mine development costs, including eligible borrowing costs, incurred subsequent to the establishment of economic recoverability, technical feasibility and commercial viability, and after the receipt of approval for project expenditures, and construction costs are capitalized until the mineral property, plant or equipment is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Depreciation and depletion of capitalized development and construction costs begins when the asset is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Management considers several factors in determining when a mineral property, plant or equipment is capable of operating at levels intended by management.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENT AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Judgements (continued)

<u>Achievement of operating levels intended by management (continued)</u>

The Company determined that Valentine reached commercial production, and accordingly, was capable of operating at levels intended by management effective November 2025. The Company determined that Greenstone reached commercial production, and accordingly, was capable of operating at levels intended by management effective November 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Assumptions and other major sources of estimation uncertainty

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Valuation of inventories

In determining the valuation of heap leach ore inventories, the Company makes estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads based on quantities of ore placed on the leach pads, the grade of ore placed on the leach pads and an estimated recovery rate. The actual timing and ultimate recovery of gold contained on the leach pads can differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates of recoverable ounces on the leach pads may result in write-downs of inventories or reversals of previous write-downs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Proven and probable mineral reserves, and measured and indicated mineral resources

Estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves, and measured and indicated mineral resources form the basis of LOM plans which are used in calculating depreciation and depletion expense; classifying inventories between current and non-current; updating the transaction price for the Stream Arrangement; forecasting the timing of reclamation and closure cost expenditures; and the determination, when applicable, of the recoverable amounts of CGUs.

The Company estimates mineral reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by qualified persons as defined by National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 – *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects*.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources. Assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in forecast metal prices, foreign exchange rates, operating costs or recovery rates and tax rates may change the economic status of mineral reserves and mineral resources and may, ultimately, result in estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources being revised. Changes in estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources could impact future depreciation and depletion expense, the classification of inventories, revenue recognized under the Stream Arrangement, and the measurement of the provisions for reclamation and closure costs. In addition, changes in estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources may be indicators of impairment which could impact the carrying amounts of the Company's CGUs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Reclamation and closure cost provisions

The provisions for reclamation and closure costs represent management's best estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows required to settle the liabilities, which reflects estimates of future costs, inflation, and movements in foreign exchange rates; assumptions of risks associated with the future cash outflows; and estimates of the applicable risk-free interest rates for discounting the future cash outflows.

Changes in the above estimates and assumptions can result in changes to the provisions recognized by the Company. Changes to the provisions for reclamation and closure costs are recognized with a corresponding change to the carrying amounts of the related mineral properties during the period of change. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of the related mineral properties can result in changes to future depreciation and depletion expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Assumptions and other major sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Other provisions and contingent liabilities

In determining whether a provision should be recognized and the amount to be recognized, management exercises significant judgement in assessing whether a present obligation exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the present obligation, and estimating the amount and timing of expenditure required to settle the obligation. Contingent liabilities are reassessed at the end of each reporting period to ensure developments are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Other provisions and contingent liabilities can relate to, but are not limited to, legal and regulatory proceedings about environmental and other matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)Income taxes and value added taxes receivable

The Company's income tax expense or recovery depends on tax legislation in multiple jurisdictions and the Company is subject to tax assessments by various taxation authorities, each of which may interpret legislation differently. The amounts of income tax expense or recovery recognized in the consolidated financial statements are based on management's judgements on the interpretation and application of tax legislation and the probable outcome of tax assessments. The effects of uncertain tax treatments are reflected in the determination of the Company's income tax expense or recovery, tax bases, unused tax losses and tax credits, and applicable tax rates based on management's judgement on the probability that the relevant taxation authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment.

The Company has receivables from various governments for federal and state value added taxes ("VAT"). The timing and amount of VAT receivable collectible can be uncertain. Management makes significant estimates relating to the timing and amount of VAT receivable considered collectible. Changes in these estimates can result in the recognition or reversal of impairment losses in net income or loss.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Calibre Acquisition

On June 17, 2025, the Company completed the Calibre Acquisition, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calibre based on an exchange ratio of 0.35 Equinox Gold common share for each Calibre common share (the "Exchange Ratio") pursuant to a plan of arrangement. The principal property acquired by the Company in the Calibre Acquisition was Valentine. In addition, the Company acquired La Libertad, El Limon and the Pan Mine ("Pan").

At the acquisition date, all outstanding stock options of Calibre were replaced with Equinox Gold stock options. The outstanding warrants and 2025 Convertible Notes issued by Calibre in March 2025 became exercisable for Equinox Gold common shares, with the number of issuable shares and the exercise or conversion price adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

In advance of closing of the Calibre Acquisition, the Company participated in Calibre's private placement convertible note financing, and on March 4, 2025, purchased a convertible note with a principal amount of $40.0 million. In connection with the private placement, the Company received 8.8 million common share purchase warrants of Calibre for no additional consideration. The warrants, along with the convertible note, were effectively settled upon closing of the Calibre Acquisition.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Calibre Acquisition (continued)

The Calibre Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Share consideration<sup>(1)</sup> | $**1888026** |
| Option consideration<sup>(2)</sup> | **39663** |
| Settlement of pre-existing convertible notes receivable and warrants<sup>(3)</sup> | **41385** |
| Total consideration transferred | $**1969074** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The fair value of the 302.8 million common shares issued to previous Calibre shareholders was determined based on the Company's quoted common share price of C$8.46 per share on the acquisition date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fair value of the 9.9 million replacement stock options issued was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average inputs: exercise price $4.04, share price of $8.46, expected annual volatility of 51.9%, expected life of 2.55 years, dividend yield of 0%, and discount rate of 2.6%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The fair value of the convertible notes settled was determined using a convertible debt valuation model which considered the contractual terms of the 2025 Convertible Notes and market-derived inputs including the Company's share price and share price volatility, and a market interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the financial instrument.

The following table summarizes the acquisition-date fair values and recognized amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date which were finalized at December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Assets (liabilities)** | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $**193107** |
| Trade and other receivables | **31573** |
| Inventories<sup>(1)</sup> | **234866** |
| Restricted cash | **11616** |

| Deferred revenue<sup>(4)</sup> | **(50454)** |
| Derivative liabilities<sup>(5)</sup> | **(21997)** |
| Reclamation and closure cost provisions | **(75532)** |
| Deferred income tax liabilities | **(604594)** |
| Other liabilities<sup>(6)</sup> | **(124331)** |
| Fair value of net assets acquired | $**1969074** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Of the total fair value of $234.9 million for inventories acquired, $188.2 million and $46.7 million were included in current inventories and non-current inventories, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued liabilities assumed include income taxes payable in connection with the Nicaraguan subsidiaries (note 26(a)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Loans and borrowings assumed mainly relate to the secured term credit facility with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector-2), LP ("Sprott") (the "Sprott Loan") (note 13(b)) and the debt host component of the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes (note 13(d)). The fair value of the 2025 Convertible Notes assumed exclude the 2025 Convertible Notes that were issued to the Company and effectively settled on the acquisition date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The deferred revenue assumed relates to the Other Gold Prepay Arrangement under which the Company delivered 2,500 ounces of gold per month until December 2025 (note 14(d)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(5)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The derivative liabilities assumed relate to the conversion option component of the 2025 Convertible Notes issued by Calibre to parties other than the Company and are denominated in CAD (note 13(d)) and the outstanding warrants (note 15(b)(iv)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Other liabilities assumed include obligations under an equipment financing facility (the "Valentine Equipment Facility") (note 18(a)). Of the total fair value of $83.4 million for obligations assumed under the Valentine Equipment Facility, $14.9 million and $68.5 million were classified as current and non-current, respectively.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Calibre Acquisition (continued)

The Company engaged 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 determined 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 discounted cash flow models for mineral reserves and an in-situ value for unmodelled mineral resources. Significant inputs used in determining the fair value of mineral properties include estimates of the appropriate discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future gold prices, production based on current estimates of mineral reserves, future operating and capital expenditures, and the in-situ value per ounce of gold for unmodelled mineral resources based on comparable market transactions. The fair value of plant and equipment was estimated based on the estimated replacement cost. The fair value of loans and borrowings was calculated as the present value of future cash flows based on the contractual cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest for similar instruments. The fair values of deferred revenue, reclamation and closure cost provisions and Valentine 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 cash flows associated with the deferred revenue include estimates of future gold prices. Significant inputs used in determining the expected future cash flows associated with the reclamation and closure cost provisions include timing of expenditures required to settle the obligation.

Transaction costs incurred in connection with the Calibre Acquisition totaling $9.2 million were expensed and presented as professional fees within general and administration expense.

Consolidated revenue and net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes the revenue and net income of Calibre since the acquisition date in the amount of $613.6 million and $71.1 million, respectively. Had the Calibre Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2025, proforma unaudited consolidated revenue from continuing operations and net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have been approximately $2,241.6 million and $223.8 million, respectively. In determining the proforma net income amount, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments relating to mineral properties, plant and equipment would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Sale of Nevada Assets

On October 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Nevada Assets to Minera Alamos Inc. ("Minera Alamos") (the "Nevada Assets Sale"). The Nevada Assets include Pan, a producing gold mine, and the Gold Rock and Illipah gold development projects which were acquired by the Company as part of the Calibre Acquisition (note 5(a)).

The Company received total consideration of $136.5 million comprised of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $98.4 million in cash;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $8.6 million in promissory note receivable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 96.8 million common shares of Minera Alamos.

Of the total cash consideration of $98.4 million, $10.3 million was included in trade and other receivables at December 31, 2025 and received in January 2026. The promissory note was repaid by Minera Alamos in December 2025.

The fair value of the common shares received of $29.5 million was determined based on the quoted price of C$0.42 ($0.31) per common share of Minera Alamos on the closing date of the Nevada Assets Sale. The common shares of Minera Alamos were consolidated on a 10:1 basis on January 5, 2026. In February 2026, the Company sold its 9.7 million common shares held on a post-consolidation basis for gross proceeds of C$56.1 million ($41.1 million).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Greenstone Acquisition

On May 13, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of OMF Fund II (SC) Ltd., subsequently renamed PAG Holding Corp. ("PAGH"), 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% and obtaining control 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. The Greenstone Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages.

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, was as follows:

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>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 (the "Orion Note") and maturity date of December 31, 2024. 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. The Orion Note was paid in full on December 30, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Greenstone Acquisition (continued)

The Company recognized a gain of $579.8 million before income taxes in other income for the year ended December 31, 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 $31.9 million reclassified to net income ($397.9 million, net of deferred income tax expense of $181.9 million).

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Deferred revenue assumed relates to the Stream Arrangement that Orion previously entered into with a third party (note 14(a)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Derivative liabilities assumed relates to the Greenstone Contingent Consideration (note 15(b)(ii)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Other liabilities assumed include an equipment financing facility (the "Greenstone Equipment Facility") (note 18(a)), and lease liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The total fair value of net assets acquired includes the Company's share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone immediately before the business combination.

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 fair value of mineral properties include estimates of the appropriate discount rate, foreign exchange rates, 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 the deferred revenue, reclamation and closure cost provision, Greenstone Contingent Consideration and Greenstone 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)</sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-current inventories at December 31, 2025 primarily relate to stockpiled ore at Greenstone and Valentine and heap leach ore at Mesquite (2024 - primarily relate to heap leach ore at Mesquite and Castle Mountain).

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized within cost of sales, a net write-down of $24.8 million of inventories to NRV, comprising $40.2 million in write-downs relating to heap leach ore at Los Filos, offset by $15.4 million in reversals of write-downs relating to heap leach ore at Castle Mountain (2024 – $19.2 million in write-downs, primarily relating to heap leach ore at Castle Mountain and work-in-process inventories at Santa Luz).

The write-down of heap leach ore at Los Filos during the year ended December 31, 2025 was determined using longer term gold prices as a result of the change in expected timing of recovery of the remaining ounces. Due to the indefinite suspension of operations at Los Filos, the remaining ounces on the heap leach at Los Filos are no longer considered held for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of production for such sale. Accordingly, the carrying amount of $98.7 million was reclassified to other non-current assets during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company also reclassified the remaining supplies at Los Filos to other non-current assets.

At December 31, 2025, due to minimal residual heap leach processing planned at Castle Mountain during the remainder of the permitting period for its phase 2 project, the remaining ounces on the heap leach are no longer considered held for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of production for such sale. Accordingly, the carrying amount of $103.1 million was reclassified to other non-current assets.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

On December 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with a third-party group (the "Buyer") to sell the Company's 100% interest in the Brazil Operations. The Brazil Sale Transaction closed on January 23, 2026. On closing of the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company received cash consideration of $891.1 million, which is subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments.

In addition to the cash received on closing, the Company is entitled to additional production-linked cash consideration of up to $115.0 million payable on January 23, 2027, based on gold ounces sold by the Brazil Operations during the 12-month period following closing (the "Brazil Measurement Period"). The contingent consideration equals 12.5% of incremental revenue from gold sales above 200,000 ounces, subject to a maximum payment of $115.0 million if sales exceed 280,000 ounces during the Brazil Measurement Period.

In connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company has provided certain indemnities to the Buyer, including those relating to pre-closing taxes and environmental and litigation matters.

At December 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of the Brazil Operations were classified as held for sale and the disposal group was measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Management determined that no impairment loss was required to be recognized on the Brazil Operations disposal group as at December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Non-depletable mineral properties

At December 31, 2025, $146.7 million and $834.6 million of mineral properties relating to Castle Mountain and Los Filos, respectively, are not subject to depletion (2024 – $146.6 million relating to Castle Mountain).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Construction-in-progress

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reclassified total costs of $272.8 million and $729.1 million from construction-in-progress to mineral properties and plant and equipment, respectively, of which a total of $815.2 million relate to costs reclassified upon Valentine reaching commercial production in November 2025 and a total of $186.8 million relate to costs reclassified on completion of construction and commissioning of certain mineral properties, plant and equipment at Greenstone.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified total costs of $437.0 million and $818.4 million from construction-in-progress to mineral properties and plant and equipment, respectively, which included costs reclassified on completion of commissioning of certain equipment and upon Greenstone reaching commercial production in November 2024.

The capitalization of borrowing costs relating to Valentine and Greenstone ceased effective November 2025 and November 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Impairment indicators

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Los Filos

On March 31, 2025, the Company's land access agreement with one of the three communities where Los filos is located expired, and the Company announced on April 1, 2025 that operations at Los Filos had been indefinitely suspended. The expiration of the land access agreement and announcement of suspension of operations were determined to be an indicator of impairment. Accordingly, the Company estimated the recoverable amount of the Los Filos CGU and performed an impairment test as at March 31, 2025. The recoverable amount of the Los Filos CGU, being its FVLCOD, was calculated based on an in-situ value for mineral reserves and mineral resources. As the FVLCOD calculated was more than the carrying amount of the Los Filos CGU, the Company concluded that no impairment loss was required to be recognized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Santa Luz

At December 31, 2024, based on evidence identified from internal reporting, the Company revised the budgeted gold recoveries at Santa Luz for 2025 and reduced the LOM recovery rate. The reduced expectations of gold recoveries at Santa Luz was determined to be an indicator of impairment, and accordingly, the Company estimated the recoverable amount of the Santa Luz CGU and performed an impairment test as at December 31, 2024. The recoverable amount of the Santa Luz CGU, being its FVLCOD, was calculated based on a discounted cash flow model for mineral reserves and an in-situ value for unmodelled mineral resources. The Company determined that no impairment loss was required to be recognized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Convertible note receivable

The Company holds a convertible note receivable from Bear Creek Mining Corporation ("Bear Creek") which was issued in October 19, 2023 in connection with an asset sale in a prior period (the "Bear Creek Convertible Note"). The Bear Creek Convertible Note earns interest at an annual interest rate of 7% with a maturity date of October 19, 2028. At December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance under the Bear Creek Convertible Note, including accrued interest, was $28.4 million.

On December 18, 2025, Bear Creek entered into an arrangement agreement with Highlander Silver ("Highlander") whereby Highlander will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bear Creek (the "Arrangement"). In connection with the Arrangement, the Company has agreed to not exercise the Company's option to convert any portion of the unpaid principal into common shares of Bear Creek, at a conversion price of C$0.73 per share.

On December 19, 2025, the Company entered into a debt settlement agreement with Highlander to settle the outstanding debt owed by Bear Creek to the Company. Under the debt settlement agreement, the Company will receive a 0.5% unsecured net smelter returns royalty on the Corani silver project ("Corani NSR"). Highlander will be permitted to buy back 0.167% of the Corani NSR for $8.3 million until the earlier of: (i) January 1, 2033; and (ii) the date that is six months after a final investment decision. The debt settlement agreement is conditional upon closing of the Arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to the receipt of regulatory and stock exchange approvals, Bear Creek shareholders' approval and other customary closing conditions.

As the contractual terms of the Bear Creek Convertible Note do not give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are SPPI, the Bear Creek Convertible Note is measured at FVTPL. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Bear Creek Convertible Note was deemed to equal the fair value of the Corani NSR under the debt settlement agreement (note 31(b)). The Company recognized a fair value loss of $10.3 million on the Bear Creek Convertible Note in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – gain of $3.9 million).

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Investment in Versamet

On June 5, 2024, the Company's equity interest in Versamet was reduced from 20.3% to 13.4% and the Company determined that it no longer had significant influence over Versamet. The carrying amount of the Company's interest in Versamet of $28.4 million was reclassified from investment in associate accounted for using the equity method to investment in equity instruments measured at FVOCI. The Company recognized a gain of $5.6 million in other income for the year ended December 31, 2024, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the Company's investment of $33.9 million and the carrying amount of the investment on the date of reclassification. The fair value of the Company's investment on the date of reclassification was determined based on the market price of C$0.80 per common share issued by Versamet in June 2024. As the common shares of Versamet were not publicly traded and, accordingly, not expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period, the investment was included in other non-current assets at December 31, 2024.

On May 20, 2025, the common shares of Versamet commenced trading on a public stock exchange. In connection with the listing of the common shares, the common shares held by the Company were deposited into escrow. In December 2025, Versamet, initially an emerging issuer, became an established issuer as defined by relevant securities regulations. Pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement, 50% of the common shares deposited were released from escrow during the year ended December 31, 2025, with the remaining 50% to be released within 12 months after the reporting period. At December 31, 2025, the common shares of Versamet are classified as marketable securities (note 6(a)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Credit facility

Prior to May 13, 2024, the Company's credit facility with a syndicate of lenders was comprised of a $700.0 million revolving facility with a maturity date of July 28, 2026 (the "Revolving Facility").

On May 13, 2024, in connection with the Greenstone Acquisition (note 5(c)), the Company amended its credit facility to include a $500.0 million non-revolving term loan with a maturity date of May 13, 2027 (the "Term Loan") (the "May 2024 Amendment"). The Term Loan, together with the Revolving Facility, are referred to as the Credit Facility.

On July 31, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Facility to increase the Revolving Facility from $700.0 million to $850.0 million and extend its maturity date from July 28, 2026 to July 31, 2029. Interest rate margins applicable to amounts drawn under the Credit Facility were reduced from a range of 2.50% to 4.50%, based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, to a range of 1.875% to 3.125%. Additionally, the credit spread adjustment previously ranging from 0.10% to 0.25%, based on the interest period, was set at 0.10% for all interest periods. Furthermore, certain of the financial covenants were amended, including a reduction in the interest coverage ratio and removal of both the minimum liquidity and minimum tangible net worth requirements. Under the amended agreement (the "July 2025 Amendment"), quarterly repayments of the Term Loan were to commence on July 31, 2026 with an amended maturity date of July 31, 2029.

The July 2025 Amendment and May 2024 Amendment were accounted for as non-substantial modifications for which the Company recognized a modification gain of $13.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in other (expense) income.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company drew down $85.0 million under the Revolving Facility (2024 – $60.0 million) and repaid $50.0 million (2024 – nil) of the outstanding principal. At December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan was $623.1 million and $483.5 million, respectively (2024 – $589.8 million and $490.8 million, respectively), of which $75.0 million (2024 – nil) of the Term Loan was classified as current. At December 31, 2025, there was $219.6 million undrawn on the Revolving Facility (2024 – $104.6 million) and the Term Loan was fully drawn.

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOANS AND BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Credit facility (continued)

On January 23, 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding balance under the Term Loan in full, without penalty, and the Term Loan facility was terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the July 2025 Amendment, the uncommitted accordion feature under the Credit Facility which permitted the Company to request an increase in the principal amount of the facility, was increased to $350.0 million upon full repayment of the Term Loan. On January 30, 2026, the Company repaid $115.0 million of the outstanding principal under the Revolving Facility.

Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates at the applicable term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus an applicable margin and a credit spread adjustment as described above.

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, including the Company's equity interest in Calibre, but excluding the assets owned by Calibre.

The Credit Facility is subject to standard conditions and covenants, including financial covenants which are calculated as at the last day of each fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants. To maintain the classification of the Revolving Facility 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; and (c) a minimum Rolling EBITDA to interest expense for the preceding 12 months ratio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Sprott Loan

As part of the Calibre Acquisition (note 5(a)), the Company assumed the Sprott Loan with a principal amount of $285.4 million and maturity date of December 31, 2027.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $25.1 million (2024 – nil) of the outstanding principal under the Sprott Loan. At December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Sprott Loan was $281.9 million (2024 – nil), of which $80.8 million (2024 – nil) was classified as current.

On January 23, 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding principal under the Sprott Loan in full. Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Loan, the Company paid an additional amount of $12.2 million, equal to the interest that would have been accrued on the amount prepaid from the date of prepayment to June 30, 2026.

The Sprott Loan was subject to a weighted average interest rate of 11.4% during the year ended December 31, 2025. Quarterly interest payments commenced on September 30, 2025. In addition, the Sprott Loan was subject to an additional payment of $27.2 million, of which $2.1 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Loan, the remaining balance of the additional payment of $25.1 million was paid in full by the Company on January 23, 2026 when the Sprott Loan was prepaid in full.

The Sprott Loan was subject to standard conditions and covenants, including financial and non-financial covenants calculated as at the last day of each fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2025, Marathon, Calibre and the Company were in compliance with the applicable covenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)2023 convertible notes

On September 21, 2023, the Company issued $172.5 million of unsecured senior convertible notes, on a bought deal private placement basis, with a maturity date of October 15, 2028 and an annual interest rate of 4.75% payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year beginning April 15, 2024 (the "2023 Convertible Notes").

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOANS AND BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)2023 convertible notes (continued)

At any time prior to maturity, the 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible at the holder's option into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of 158.7302 common shares per $1,000 principal amount, representing an initial conversion price of $6.30 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, including a change in control, or upon notice of redemption by the Company as described below, the holders may elect to convert their 2023 Convertible Notes and may be entitled to an increased conversion rate.

Prior to October 20, 2026, the Company may not redeem the 2023 Convertible Notes except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after October 20, 2026 and until maturity, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2023 Convertible Notes for cash if the price of the Company's common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of notice of redemption exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such day. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In the event of a fundamental change, the holders have the right to require the Company to purchase its outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The carrying amount of the liability component of the 2023 Convertible Notes will be increased to the principal amount over the remaining term to maturity using an EIR of 12.7%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)2025 Convertible Notes

As part of the Calibre Acquisition (note 5(a)), the Company assumed the 2025 Convertible Notes issued by Calibre in March 2025 to parties other than the Company. The assumed 2025 Convertible Notes are denominated in CAD with a principal amount of C$49.7 million ($34.3 million) as of the acquisition date. The 2025 Convertible Notes are unsecured, mature on March 4, 2030 and bear interest at 5.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. At any time prior to maturity, the 2025 Convertible Notes are convertible at the holder's option into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of C$12.14 per common share.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, the holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes may require the Company to, within 30 days following the change of control, repay the 2025 Convertible Notes at a redemption amount equal to the lesser of a) 100% of the principal amount outstanding plus all remaining interest payable on the principal amount outstanding from the date of such redemption up to and including the maturity date, and b) 107% of the principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the redemption date. The Company may also, upon such change of control, prepay any portion of the principal amount outstanding using the same redemption formula as described above on the principal amount being repaid.

Of the total fair value of $34.0 million for the 2025 Convertible Notes on initial recognition, $11.4 million was allocated to the conversion option derivative liability and the residual amount of $22.6 million was allocated to the debt host component included in loans and borrowings. The carrying amount of the debt host component will be increased to the principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes over the remaining term to maturity using an EIR of 17.4%.

As the Company does not have the right to defer settlement of the 2025 Convertible Notes on exercise of the conversion option, both the conversion option and the debt host components of the 2025 Convertible Notes are classified as current financial liabilities.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOANS AND BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)2020 convertible notes

In March 2020, the Company issued $139.3 million in convertible notes on a private placement basis with a maturity date of March 10, 2025, a conversion price of $7.80 per common share and an annual interest rate of 4.75% payable quarterly in arrears (the "2020 Convertible Notes").

In April and May 2024, the Company amended the terms of the 2020 Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date from March 10, 2025 to September 10, 2025, and amended the conversion price from $7.80 per common share to $6.50 per common share. 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 derecognized the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability of $136.2 million and recognized a new financial liability in the amount of $132.0 million, representing the fair value of the liability components of the new compound instruments. The fair value was calculated as the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining term using a discount rate of 8.7%. The Company recognized a gain of $1.7 million, with the residual amount, net of tax, recognized as an increase to reserves within equity.

In August 2025, the 2020 Convertible Notes were fully converted into 21.4 million common shares of the Company. On conversion, the carrying amount of the financial liability of $139.3 million and conversion option of $10.1 million that was previously included in reserves were reclassified to share capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)2019 convertible notes

In April 2019, the Company issued $139.7 million in convertible notes on a private placement basis with a maturity date of April 12, 2024, a conversion price of $5.25 per common share and an annual interest rate of 5% payable quarterly in arrears (the "2019 Convertible Notes").

In April 2024, the Company amended the terms of the 2019 Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date from April 12, 2024 to October 12, 2024. 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 derecognized the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability of $130.0 million and 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. The fair value was calculated as the present value of the contractual cash flows over the remaining term using a discount rate of 9.3%. The residual amount, net of tax, was recognized as an increase to reserves within equity.

In October 2024, the 2019 Convertible Notes were fully converted into 26.6 million common shares of the Company. On conversion, the carrying amount of the financial liability of $139.7 million and conversion option of $12.2 million that was previously included in reserves were reclassified to share capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</sup>The current portion of deferred revenue is based on the amounts of gold expected to be delivered within 12 months of the reporting date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Stream Arrangement

As part of the Greenstone Acquisition (note 5(c)), 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.

The carrying amount of the Stream Arrangement deferred revenue is increased to the estimated transaction price using an EIR of 5.0%.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company delivered 4,794 gold ounces (2024 – 1,968 gold ounces) under the Stream Arrangement. The Company received average cash consideration of $684 per ounce (2024 – $507 per ounce), representing 20% of the spot gold price at the time of delivery. Total revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025, which consists of the cash consideration received on delivery of the gold ounces and the portion of the deferred revenue obligation satisfied, amounted to $14.2 million (2024 – $4.0 million).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Gold Prepay Transactions

In March 2023 and June 2023, the Company entered into the Gold Prepay Transactions with a syndicate of its existing lenders, whereby the Company received upfront cash prepayments of $150.0 million in exchange for delivering to the lenders 3,869 ounces of gold per month from October 2024 through July 2026 (the "Original Delivery Period") for a total of 85,107 ounces. Gold deliveries can be settled by production from any of the Company's operating mines.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DEFERRED REVENUE (CONTINUED)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Gold Prepay Transactions (continued)

Of the total cash prepayments of $150.0 million, $90.1 million was made on a fixed price basis of $2,170 per ounce of gold. The remaining $59.9 million of cash prepayments was made on a spot price basis, whereby if the spot price on delivery of the gold ounces exceeds or is less than $2,170 per ounce with respect to 28,386 gold ounces and $2,109 per ounce with respect to 5,797 gold ounces (the "Fixed Amount"), the Company will receive or pay in cash the difference between the spot price and the Fixed Amount, respectively, with a corresponding adjustment to revenue when the gold is delivered.

On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into amending agreements with the counterparties to defer the first five monthly deliveries originally scheduled for October 2024 through February 2025. The total of 19,343 deferred ounces will be delivered over the period from 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. In addition, for the contracts that were made on a spot price basis, the Company will receive or pay in cash the difference between the spot price and the Fixed Amount of $2,352 per ounce with respect to 7,062 total deferred and additional ounces and $2,288 per ounce with respect to 1,443 total deferred and additional ounces.

Prior to the amendment of the contracts, the carrying amount of the Gold Prepay Transactions deferred revenue was increased to the total estimated transaction price using the original weighted average EIR of 8.0%. The contract modifications were accounted for as if they were terminations of the existing contracts and the creation of new contracts with no gain or loss on modification. Effective from the contracts' amendment date, the carrying amount of the deferred revenue is increased to the estimated transaction price for the remaining gold deliveries using the amended weighted average EIR of 9.2%.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company delivered 38,685 gold ounces (2024 – nil) under the Gold Prepay Transactions, of which 15,538 gold ounces (2024 – nil) were made on a spot price basis. The Company received average consideration of $1,451 per ounce (2024 – nil) sold on a spot price basis, representing the difference between the spot gold price at the time of delivery and the Fixed Amount. Total revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025, which consists of the consideration received on delivery of the gold ounces and the portion of the deferred revenue obligation satisfied, amounted to $107.6 million (2024 – nil). At December 31, 2025, there were 48,004 gold ounces (2024 – 86,689 gold ounces) remaining to be delivered under the Gold Prepay Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Gold Purchase and Sale arrangement

In October 2023, the Company entered into the Gold Purchase and Sale arrangement with Versamet and another counterparty (together referred to as the "Purchasers"), under which the Company is required to deliver to the Purchasers a monthly amount of gold equal to the greater of a) 500 gold ounces and b) 1.8% of the gold produced by Greenstone each month. Gold deliveries commenced in November 2023 and will continue until a total of 90,000 ounces (the "Delivery Obligation") has been delivered (the "Term"). Gold deliveries can be settled by production from any of the Company's operating mines.

The Company received an upfront payment of $75.0 million in exchange for the monthly gold deliveries. In addition, the Company will receive consideration for each gold ounce delivered to the Purchasers equal to 20% of the spot gold price (the "Purchase Price") at the time of delivery. The Company has an option to early settle up to 75% of the Delivery Obligation at any time and from time to time during the Term by delivering the number of gold ounces being early settled. The Company will receive the Purchase Price for all early settlement ounces delivered. If the spot gold price at the time of each early settlement is less than $2,000 per ounce, the Company will be required to deliver additional gold ounces to the Purchasers, calculated using a contractual formula, for no additional consideration.

The carrying amount of the Gold Purchase and Sale Arrangement deferred revenue is increased to the estimated transaction price using an EIR of 15.6%.

**26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Income tax expense

Income tax expense during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 differs from the amounts that would result from applying the combined Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate of 27% (2024 – 27%) to income before income taxes from continuing operations. These differences result from the following items:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 |
| Income before income taxes from continuing operations | $**131367** | $533310 |
| Combined Canadian federal and provincial income tax rate (%) | **27** | 27 |
| Expected income tax expense | $**35469** | $143994 |
| Foreign exchange impact | **(20487)** | 20258 |
| Non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses | **24378** | 16159 |
| Impact of tax rate differences between jurisdictions | **(2044)** | 29271 |
| Change in estimates of prior year | **26012** | 6091 |
| Impact of Mexican inflation | **(4396)** | (5043) |
| Tax effect of changes in temporary differences for which no tax benefit has been recognized | **60596** | 50607 |
| Mining, state and other special tax | **45495** | 22681 |
| Reductions based on local tax incentives and other benefits | **(14795)** | (11002) |

The Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") in Canada, which was enacted in June 2024 and effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 30, 2023, implemented the Pillar Two global minimum tax regime, which includes the income inclusion rule and qualifying domestic minimum top-up tax. The GMTA introduced a 15% global minimum tax on the income of multinational enterprises with annual consolidated revenues of 750 million Euros or more in at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding the particular fiscal year and a business presence in at least one foreign jurisdiction. The Company is subject to this legislation. Based on management's assessment, all relevant jurisdictions of continuing operations have effective tax rates for purposes of the GMTA exceeding 15% in 2025 (in 2024, the effective tax rate of the U.S. was below 15%). The Pillar Two current income tax expense from continuing operations recognized by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 was nil (2024 – $1.1 million).

<u>DMSL 2017 to 2020 tax years audits</u>

DMSL, the entity that owns Los Filos, is subject to audits by the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (the "SAT") in Mexico for the 2017 to 2020 tax years. SAT completed the audit of the 2017 tax year for DMSL in late 2025. The Company was assessed total additional income taxes and Special Mining Duty of $73.2 million in respect of the SAT settlement of the audit of the 2017 tax year and paid $54.5 million of the amount in December 2025.

The allocation of income taxes and Special Mining Duty for DMSL relating to the 2017 tax year is governed by a tax allocation agreement (the "Tax Allocation Agreement") between the Company and Newmont Corporation ("Newmont"). Pursuant to the Tax Allocation Agreement, which was entered into in connection with a prior business combination, the Company has recognized an indemnification asset of $39.8 million and intends to continue to pursue its entitlement to indemnity from Newmont.

The Company has recognized the net amount of $33.4 million as income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025. The indemnification asset is included in other non-current assets as the settlement process is expected to occur beyond 12 months from the reporting date.

**26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Income tax expense (continued)

<u>Nicaragua income taxes</u>

The Company's Nicaraguan subsidiaries had previously credited mining tax payments against income taxes payable based on its interpretation of relevant tax legislation and a concession granted at the start of operations in Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan tax authority advised that it would not apply mining taxes paid by such subsidiaries for the years 2019 to 2024 against income taxes payable for those years, and in September 2025, the Nicaragua Customs and Administrative Tax Tribunal, who is responsible for hearing appeals against decisions by the tax authority, issued a ruling in favour of the tax authority. The fair value of the obligation of $37.4 million as at the date of the Calibre Acquisition was included as part of the liabilities assumed by the Company (note 5(a)). In December 2025, the Company and the Nicaraguan tax authority entered into a settlement agreement with the agreed amount payable by the Company being $37.9 million, which includes $10.5 million of interest and penalties. The Company paid $18.4 million of the total amount payable in December 2025.

**31.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)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:

---

The fair value of the 2025 Convertible Notes conversion option is estimated using a convertible debt valuation model which considers the contractual terms of the convertible notes and market-derived inputs including the Company's share price and share price volatility, and a market interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the financial instruments.

The fair value of the Equinox Gold Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses market-derived inputs including the Company's share price and share price volatility.

The fair value of the Bear Creek Convertible Note at December 31, 2024 was determined using a 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.

The fair value of the Corani NSR is estimated using a discounted cash flow model.

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.

The fair value of the investment in Versamet at December 31, 2024 was 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 Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the beginning of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer occurs. Effective April 1, 2025, a transfer of $32.3 million relating to the investment in Versamet was made from Level 3 to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to reflect the commencement of the common shares of Versamet trading on a public stock exchange. Effective October 1, 2025, a transfer of $38.6 million relating to the Bear Creek Convertible Note was made from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to reflect the debt settlement agreement entered into with Highlander.

**32.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's Board of Directors approves and oversees the Company's risk management process, which seeks to minimize the potential adverse effects of financial risks on the Company's financial results. At December 31, 2025, the financial risks to which the Company is exposed and the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash and other current and non-current receivables. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk on its financial assets at December 31, 2025, other than those measured at FVTPL and FVOCI, and excluding those classified as held for sale (note 9), represented by the carrying amounts of the financial assets, was $480.9 million (2024 – $279.7 million).

**32.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Credit risk (continued)

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by investing in high credit quality instruments and maintaining its cash balances in financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Credit risk arising from the Company's trade receivables is low with negligible expected credit losses as the Company primarily sells its products to large global financial institutions and other companies with high credit ratings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business that give rise to commitments for future payments. The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities, and operating and capital purchase commitments at December 31, 2025 of its continuing operations (note 9):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>Derivative liabilities in the above table represent the fair values of the derivative instruments that are expected to be cash-settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>Other financial liabilities mainly relate to the Equipment Facilities (note 18(a)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)</sup>Amounts included in the above table represent the undiscounted future cash flows.

The Company has an $850.0 million Revolving Facility available for general corporate purposes, other than for repayment of amounts owing under the 2023 Convertible Notes and 2025 Convertible Notes. At December 31, 2025, there was $219.6 million undrawn on the Revolving Facility (note 13(a)).

The Company's objective in managing its liquidity risk is to ensure there is sufficient capital to meet its short-term business requirements after considering the Company's holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company seeks to manage its liquidity risk through a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funding requirements to support its current operations, development and expansion plans. The Company also manages its liquidity risk by managing its capital structure (note 33).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is exposed to the following market risks: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments, in functional currency terms, will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk on transactions and investments denominated in currencies other than USD. At December 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to currency risk on balances denominated in currencies other than USD, principally in CAD, Nicaraguan Cordoba ("NIO") and MXN. Effective January 1, 2024, the Central Bank of Nicaragua adopted a policy which fixed the NIO exchange rate against the US dollar at the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2023. The exchange rate has remained fixed since January 1, 2024, mitigating the Company's exposure to currency risk as a result of changes in the NIO exchange rate against the US dollar.

The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies at December 31, 2025, excluding those classified as held for sale (note 9):

Based on the above foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at December 31, 2025, excluding the effect of foreign exchange contracts, the reasonably possible weakening or strengthening in CAD against USD, assuming all other variables remained constant, would have resulted in a $13.4 million increase or decrease, respectively, in the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

**32.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Market risk (continued)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Currency risk (continued)

A weakening or strengthening in NIO and MXN against USD, assuming all other variables remained constant, would not have resulted in a significant impact on the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

In accordance with its foreign currency exchange risk management program, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to currency risk which are accounted for as derivatives (note 15(a)). The Company's outstanding USD:BRL foreign exchange contracts were fully settled on January 23, 2026. A 10% weakening in CAD and MXN against USD at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency net derivative asset and a decrease of $21.0 million in the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025. A 10% strengthening in CAD and MXN against USD would have resulted in an increase in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency net derivative asset and an increase of $18.6 million in the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

At December 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on its Credit Facility and Sprott Loan which are subject to variable interest rates based on SOFR (notes 13(a) and 13(b)). The Term Loan and Sprott Loan were fully repaid on January 23, 2026. A 1.0% increase or decrease in the SOFR interest rate during the year ended December 31, 2025 would have resulted in an increase or decrease of $4.8 million, respectively, in the interest expense on the Revolving Facility and the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that earn variable interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than currency risk or interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2025, the Company's investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value. A 10% increase or decrease in the applicable share prices would have resulted in an increase or decrease of $14.1 million, respectively, in the Company's other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In connection with the gold swap agreements (note 15(b)(i)) and the Greenstone Contingent Consideration (note 15(b)(ii)), a 10% increase in the price of gold at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease of $17.1 million in the Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2025. A 10% decrease in the price of gold at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in an increase of $9.7 million in the Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Based on the contractual terms and total notional ounces remaining, the Company is not exposed to significant price risk on its outstanding gold collar contracts as at December 31, 2025.

The fair values of the 2025 Convertible Notes conversion option (note 15(b)(iii)) and Equinox Gold Warrants (note 15(b)(iv)) are measured using valuation models that use the Company's share price as an input. A 10% increase or decrease in the Company's share price at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease or increase of $6.0 million, respectively, in the Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**33.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CAPITAL MANAGEMENT** 

The capital of the Company consists of items included in the Company's equity and loans and borrowings, net of cash and cash equivalents. The Company's capital at December 31, 2025 and 2024, as defined above, is summarized in the following table:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 |
| Equity | $**5795307** | $3397552 |
| Loans and borrowings | **1554680** | 1347831 |
|  | **7349987** | 4745383 |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents | **(407355)** | (239329) |
|  | $**6942632** | $4506054 |

---

The Company's primary objective when managing capital is to ensure it will be able to continue as a going concern and that it has sufficient ability to satisfy its capital obligations and ongoing operational expenses, as well as having sufficient liquidity to fund suitable business opportunities as they arise. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments as necessary in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, seeks to balance its overall capital structure through new share issuances or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. To maintain its capital structure, the Company may, from time to time, issue or buy back equity, draw down or repay debt, or sell assets, including its marketable securities.

**34.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTINGENCIES**

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, and is exposed to contingent liabilities arising from legal and other actions relating to tax, environmental and other matters in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Management regularly reviews these matters with external counsel to assess the likelihood of a material cash outflow. Where management believes that a cash outflow is probable, a provision for the estimated settlement amount is recognized. Liabilities relating to uncertain tax treatments are recognized as part of income tax liabilities. At December 31, 2025, the Company's provision for legal, environmental and other matters amounted to $10.3 million which was primarily included in liabilities relating to assets held for sale (note 9) (2024 – $6.4 million included in other non-current liabilities).

The significant outstanding matters as at December 31, 2025 are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Mercedes Mine 2016 tax year audit

The Company sold the Mercedes Mine to a third party in 2022 and the sale agreement included tax indemnity provisions. The Mexican tax authority is currently auditing the 2016 tax year for the Mercedes Mine. As a final assessment has not been issued, the Company determined that no present obligation existed under the tax indemnity at December 31, 2025 and, accordingly, no provision was recognized. The amount and timing of any final assessment remain uncertain and may be subject to appeal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Environmental

A historic rain event caused widespread flooding in the Aurizona region in March 2021 resulting in the overflow of a freshwater pond at the Aurizona site. The tailings facility and other infrastructure remained operational. Public civil actions have been filed against MASA in the state and federal courts seeking various damages related to the rain event, and criminal proceedings have been initiated by the federal public prosecutor. The Company, together with its advisors, believes the public civil actions and criminal proceedings are without merit and that a cash outflow is not probable. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized in relation to the public civil actions and criminal proceedings at December 31, 2025. In connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction (note 9), the Company has provided indemnities to the Buyer in respect of certain claims, including this matter.

On February 18, 2026, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.015 per common share, which is payable on March 26, 2026 to shareholders of record as of March 12, 2026. On February 18, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the implementation of a normal course issuer bid, subject to TSX approval, to purchase for cancellation up to 5% of the Company's outstanding shares.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**BUSINESS OVERVIEW**

**Operations Description**

Equinox Gold is an Americas-focused mining company delivering on its strategy of creating a premier Americas gold producer. In its first eight years, the Company has grown from a single-asset developer to a multi-asset gold producer with a portfolio of gold mines in the Americas, a multi-million-ounce gold reserve base and a strong growth profile from a pipeline of development and expansion projects. At the date of this MD&A, the Company's operating gold mines are the Greenstone Mine ("Greenstone") and Valentine Gold Mine ("Valentine") in Canada, the Mesquite Mine ("Mesquite") in the United States, and La Libertad Mine Complex ("Libertad") and El Limon Mine Complex ("Limon") in Nicaragua (together, the "Nicaragua Operations"). All of the Company's mines are 100% owned.

The Company's Aurizona Mine ("Aurizona"), RDM Mine ("RDM") and Bahia Complex ("Bahia Complex", comprising the Santa Luz and Fazenda Mines) in Brazil (together, the "Brazil Operations") were operated through 2025 and into the first quarter of 2026. On December 14, 2025, Equinox Gold announced an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Brazil Operations (the "Brazil Sale Transaction"). The Brazil Sale Transaction closed on January 23, 2026. The Brazil Operations are reported as assets held for sale and their associated liabilities as liabilities held for sale in the Company's financial statements and MD&A, and the results from their operations are reported as discontinued operations. The Brazil Sale Transaction is described in further detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

The Company's Castle Mountain Mine ("Castle Mountain") in the United States, was transitioned to development status in September 2024 to focus on advancing permitting for the planned expansion.

At the Los Filos Mine Complex ("Los Filos") in Mexico, operations were indefinitely suspended in April 2025. Los Filos was reclassified as a development project while the Company evaluates the long-term potential of the project which is expected to include consideration of the results of ongoing exploration and engineering activities to support a potential two-community development plan and continued engagement with the third community.

Equinox Gold was founded with the strategic vision of building a diversified, Americas-focused gold company focused on high-quality and high-margin production. The Company's goal is to be a top-quartile valued gold producer, delivering strong per-share returns while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation. Equinox Gold is focused on continuing to optimize its portfolio, prioritizing long-life, low-cost assets and organic growth opportunities to maximize shareholder value. The Company is committed to operating responsibly and safely, creating lasting economic and social benefits for its host communities, and fostering a safe and inclusive workplace for its employees and contractors.

In support of its strategy, on June 17, 2025, Equinox Gold completed the business combination with Calibre Mining Corp. ("Calibre") whereby Equinox Gold acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calibre pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Transaction" or "Calibre Acquisition"). The Transaction expanded Equinox Gold's portfolio with the operating mines in Nicaragua, the Pan Mine ("Pan") in United States and the development project, Valentine, in Canada (collectively, the "Calibre Assets"). Following the Calibre Acquisition and the Brazil Sale Transaction, Equinox Gold has transitioned to a North American producer.

On October 1, 2025, the Company sold Pan, a producing gold mine in Nevada, United States and the Gold Rock and Illipah gold development projects in Nevada (collectively, the "Nevada Assets") to Minera Alamos Inc. (the "Nevada Assets Sale"). Both the Calibre Acquisition and Nevada Assets Sale are described in further detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

Equinox Gold's common shares trade under the symbol "EQX" on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") in Canada and on the NYSE American Stock Exchange ("NYSE-A") in the United States.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**2025 HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED)**

**Corporate**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** On December 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with a third party to sell the Company's 100% interest in the Brazil Operations. The Brazil Sale Transaction closed on January 23, 2026. On closing of the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company received cash consideration of $891.1 million. In addition to the cash received on closing, the Company will receive a production-linked contingent cash consideration of up to $115.0 million due on January 23, 2027, based on the number of gold ounces produced by the Brazil Operations during the 12-month period from the closing date. The upfront cash consideration is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Brazil Sale Transaction is described in more detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On October 1, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its 100% interest in the Nevada Assets to Minera Alamos Inc. (TSXV:MAI) for total consideration of $136.5 million, comprised of $98.4 million in cash, of which $10.3 million was included in trade and other receivables at December 31, 2025, a $8.6 million promissory note receivable which was repaid in December 2025, and equity consideration with a fair value of $29.5 million in the form of 96.8 million Minera Alamos common shares<sup>(1)</sup>. The Nevada Assets Sale is described in more detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 17, 2025, the Company completed the Calibre Acquisition, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Calibre at an exchange ratio of 0.35 Equinox Gold common share for each Calibre common share (the "Exchange Ratio") pursuant to a plan of arrangement. The principal properties acquired by the Company in the Calibre Acquisition were Valentine, Nicaragua Operations and Pan. The Calibre Acquisition is described in more detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Upon completion of the Calibre Acquisition, Blayne Johnson, Doug Forster, Omaya Elguindi and Mike Vint, former directors of Calibre, joined the Company's Board of Directors; Sally Eyre and Gordon Campbell resigned from the Board of Directors. Additionally, on July 21, 2025, Darren Hall was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Director, succeeding Greg Smith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** On June 11, 2025, the Company provided updated gold production and cost guidance ("2025 Guidance") to reflect the Calibre Acquisition and the slower-than-planned ramp-up at Greenstone. Production guidance was updated to 785,000 to 915,000 ounces of gold with cash costs of $1,400 to $1,500 per ounce<sup>(1)</sup> and AISC of $1,800 to $1,900 per ounce<sup>(1)</sup>. 2025 Guidance included production and costs from the Pan Mine, Libertad and Limon commencing January 1, 2025, but excluded production and costs from Valentine, Los Filos and Castle Mountain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In January 2025, following negotiations that began in November 2023 with the three communities that host Los Filos, the Company reached consensus on terms for new agreements with all three communities. Two communities signed new long-term agreements. One community did not sign the long-term agreement and the existing agreement with that community expired on March 31, 2025, resulting in the indefinite suspension of operations on April 1, 2025. Community engagement continued throughout 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Liquidity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ In Q4 2025, the Company received $96.7 million related to the Nevada Assets Sale. An additional $10.3 million was received in January 2026 to fully settle customary transaction working capital adjustments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ In August 2025, the convertible notes issued in March 2020 ("2020 Convertible Notes"), with a carrying value of $139.3 million, were fully converted into 21.4 million common shares of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ On July 31, 2025, the Company amended its revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility") to increase the Revolving Facility from $700.0 million to $850.0 million and extended its maturity date from July 28, 2026 to July 31, 2029. The $500 million term loan ("Term Loan") maturity date was extended from May 13, 2027 to July 31, 2029. The amendment increased the limit under the accordion feature from $100.0 million to $150.0 million prior to the full repayment and cancellation of the Term Loan, and to $350.0 million thereafter. The Term Loan, together with the Revolving Facility, are referred to as the Credit Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ On June 17, 2025, upon completion of the Calibre Acquisition, the Company assumed a secured term credit facility with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector-2), LP (the "Sprott Loan") which had a principal amount of $285.4 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ On April 14, 2025, the Company drew down $45.0 million on the Revolving Facility.

<sup>(1)</sup> The common share of Minera Alamos were consolidated on a 10:1 basis on January 5, 2026.

Gold ounces sold from All Operations in Q4 2025 was higher compared to Q4 2024 primarily due to Greenstone advancing its ramp-up and the addition of production from Valentine and Nicaragua Operations which were acquired as part of the Calibre Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the indefinite suspension of operations at Los Filos in April 2025. Greenstone continued to ramp up during 2025 with quarter-on-quarter increases in gold production for Q3 2025 and Q4 2025.

Gold ounces sold from All Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 25% higher compared to 2024 due to the same reasons noted above.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED)**

Revenue from continuing operations was higher in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher gold prices and an increase in gold ounces sold for the respective periods. The Company realized $4,024 per ounce sold in Q4 2025 and generated $681.4 million in revenue from continuing operations, compared to $2,630 per ounce sold in Q4 2024 which generated $359.4 million in revenue from continuing operations. The Company realized $3,478 per ounce sold in the year ended December 31, 2025, generating $1,817.2 million in revenue from continuing operations, compared to the realization of $2,435 per ounce sold, generating $912.8 million in revenue from continuing operations in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Revenue from discontinued operations was higher in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to higher gold prices and an increase in gold ounces sold for the respective periods. The Company realized $4,140 per ounce sold in Q4 2025, generating $306.4 million in revenue from discontinued operations, compared to $2,646 per ounce sold in Q4 2024, generating $215.6 million in revenue from discontinued operations. The Company realized $3,437 per ounce sold in the year ended December 31, 2025, generating $891.9 million in revenue from discontinued operations, compared to the realization of $2,435 per ounce sold, generating $601.3 million in revenue from discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2024.

Cash costs per oz sold from All Operations were 4% and 6% lower in Q4 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, respectively, with lower cash costs, relative to the rest of the Company's portfolio, from the Nicaragua Operations following the Calibre Acquisition and the impact of a reduction in production from Los Filos, offset partially by higher cash costs per oz sold from the Brazil Operations, mainly driven by higher mining cost and lower ounces sold.

AISC per oz sold from All Operations were 15% and 3% higher than in Q4 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, respectively, largely due to an increase in the sustaining expenditures at Mesquite and the Brazil Operations in 2025. Brazil Operations had higher sustaining spend at the Bahia Complex relating to capitalized stripping in 2025. Mesquite's capital stripping of the Brownie pit was categorized sustaining in 2025 and capital stripping of the Ginger pit was categorized as non-sustaining in 2024.

In Q4 2025, income from mine operations was $342.3 million (Q4 2024 - $95.8 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $642.9 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $206.1 million). Income from mine operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 includes income from Nicaragua Operation's of $144.1 million and $188.7 million, respectively, and from Greenstone of $142.6 million and $297.1 million, respectively, compared to $nil for Nicaragua Operations in 2024 and $75.3 million and $142.1 million for Greenstone for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition to the full quarter and full year impact of Greenstone's operations in 2025, income from mine operations was higher for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to 53% and 43% increases in the average realized gold price per ounce sold for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.

Net income for Q4 2025 was $197.5 million (Q4 2024 - net income of $28.3 million) and net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $221.5 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - net income of $339.3 million). The higher net income in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 is mainly driven by higher income from mine operations, partially offset by higher finance expense in 2025.

The lower net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily due to a decrease in other income in 2025, driven by the gain of $579.8 million recognized in 2024 on the remeasurement of the Company's 60% share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values. The gain on remeasurement was partially offset by a related deferred tax expense of $181.9 million. Net income for 2025 was also impacted by an increase in finance expense and care and maintenance expense at Los Filos, partially offset by higher income from mine operations and favourable changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts.

In Q4 2025, adjusted EBITDA from All Operations was $579.0 million (Q4 2024 - $223.2 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,339.6 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $479.0 million). In Q4 2025, adjusted net income from All Operations was $272.9 million (Q4 2024 - $77.5 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 adjusted net income was $420.5 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $113.1 million).

The increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 was primarily due to higher income from mine operations as described above.

**CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED)**

The increase in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher income from mine operations as described above, partially offset by higher care and maintenance expense at Los Filos, higher finance expense and higher general and administration expense driven by the Calibre Acquisition which resulted in an increase in corporate office personnel and an increase in share-based compensation expense.

**2025 GUIDANCE COMPARISON**

On June 11, 2025, the Company updated its 2025 production and cost guidance ("2025 Guidance") to reflect the business combination with Calibre and the slower-than-planned ramp-up of Greenstone.

The Company produced 856,908 ounces of gold in 2025, by the Company's assets included in the 2025 Guidance and within the guided range of 785,000 - 915,000 ounces of gold. Cash costs of $1,416 per ounce gold sold were at the lower end of 2025 Guidance of $1,400 - $1,500 per ounce and AISC of $1,809 per ounce was within 2025 Guidance of $1,800 - $1,900 per ounce. Actual results achieved at each mine compared to 2025 Guidance as compared to actual results achieved at each mine are outlined below. Pan's 2025 guidance is for the full year, however the Pan 2025 Actuals reflect results until October 1, 2025, when the asset was sold.

***Q4 2025 Analysis***

<u>Production</u>

Greenstone production was 29% higher for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the continued ramp up of operations, with 33% more ore mined, 15% more ore processed and 23% higher grade processed.

Mining unit costs were 4% lower for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the ongoing ramp up of activities and higher volumes mined. Processing unit costs were 7% lower for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to an increase of 15% in ore tonnes processed.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

Cash costs per oz sold was 22% lower for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to a 29% increase in gold ounces sold. AISC per oz sold was 18% lower for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to lower cash costs per oz sold.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $31.7 million and $94.5 million, respectively, primarily related to a TSF raise, buildings and other infrastructure and equipment. Non-sustaining expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $49.7 million and $121.4 million, respectively, primarily related to initial capital, fleet leasing costs, buildings and other infrastructure including costs associated with relocating the provincial power utility electrical substation and the Ontario Provincial Police station.

Production of 223,843 ounces was in line with the 2025 Guidance 220,000 - 260,000 ounces of gold. Greenstone's costs were nominally higher than 2025 Guidance, with cash costs of $1,380 per oz compared to guidance of $1,275 - $1,375 per oz due to higher royalties on gold sales from higher than planned metal prices and AISC of $1,824 per oz compared to guidance of $1,700 - $1,800 per oz, driven due to higher royalties on gold sales from higher than planned metal prices. Non-sustaining expenditures were higher than 2025 Guidance with higher equipment spend to continue improving tonnes moved and throughput.

<u>Exploration and Development</u>

Planned exploration at Greenstone in 2025 comprised a 14,000-metre core drilling program designed to enhance the Company's understanding of the geology, structural controls on gold mineralization, and grade distribution within the deposit. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed 1,349 metres of drilling, bringing total drilling for the year to 9,764 metres. A review of the program early in the Quarter identified an opportunity to defer in-pit drilling until the pit surface was lower in elevation, resulting in fewer metres drilled than planned. A robust review of resource definition, expansion and generative targets is underway to determine plans for additional drilling in 2026. Exploration expenditures for the Quarter were $0.8 million with total expenditures of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Valentine, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada**

Valentine is an open-pit mine with a conventional 2.5 million tonne crush-grind CIL operation located in central Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, that Equinox Gold acquired on June 17, 2025 as part of the Calibre Acquisition. Valentine was undergoing commissioning at the time and first gold pour was achieved in September 2025, followed by commercial production at the end of November 2025. Valentine is now in the process of ramping up to full design capacity. In addition, the Company is advancing a Phase 2 study to expand gold production by 25% and expects to publish the study around late March 2026.

***Q4 2025 Analysis***

<u>Production</u>

Gold production from Nicaragua Operations was lower for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to lower grade processed in the quarter. Revenue for the Quarter was $243.9 million, generated from 61,654 oz of gold sold at an average realized price of $3,956 per oz. Cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold were 1,218 and 1,580, respectively.

For production, Nicaragua Operations exceeded 2025 Guidance, with production of 262,025 ounces compared to 2025 Guidance of 200,000 - 250,000 ounces of gold.

The Nicaragua Operation's sustaining expenditures were lower than 2025 Guidance due to updated mining sequences driving different development priorities. Non-sustaining expenditures were higher than 2025 Guidance as growth mining development was prioritized.

<u>Exploration and Development</u>

During the Quarter, the Company initiated a multi-rig drill program and completed 16,594 m of diamond drilling (a total of 124,314 m for the year ended December 31, 2025 including the period before the Calibre Acquisition). El Limon Mine continues to yield high-grade drilling results demonstrating the extension of gold mineralization in three areas of the property: adjacent to the operating Panteon underground mine, along the multi-kilometre VTEM Gold Corridor and along trend of the past-producing Talavera mine. Exploration expenditures at the Nicaragua Operations for the Quarter was $3.9 million and was $13.0 million for the period from June 17 to December 31, 2025.

***Q4 2025 Analysis***

<u>Production</u>

Production was 14% lower in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared with the same period of 2024 due to elevated production levels in Q4 2024 from residual leaching. Production was 19% higher in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024 due to the impact of reaching the major ore source of the Ginger pit in March 2025 which had a higher grade than material mined in 2024, with 78,560 recoverable ounces stacked in 2025 compared to 41,152 recoverable ounces stacked in 2024.

Mining unit costs were 16% higher for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher maintenance costs as Mesquite's mobile equipment fleet began a planned major overhaul cycle in 2025.

Processing unit costs were 4% higher for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to the impact of the decrease in tonnes stacked in 2025. There were no tonnes stacked in the three months ended December 31, 2024.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

Cash costs per oz sold was 10% higher for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower gold sales during the Quarter. Cash costs per oz sold was 7% higher for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to the impact of higher opening carrying cost per recoverable ounce in inventory in 2025 compared to 2024.

AISC per oz sold was 74% and 44% higher for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2024, primarily due to the impact of the Brownie 4 capitalized stripping in 2025 reflected in AISC per ounce sold in the period incurred, while in 2024 the Ginger capitalized stripping was classified as non-sustaining.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $13.6 million and $40.5 million, respectively, primarily related to capital stripping which commenced in the Brownie 4 pit.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $2.6 million and $11.5 million, respectively, primarily related to capitalized stripping in the Ginger pit and capitalized exploration.

Mesquite's production of 85,998 ounces compared to production guidance of 85,000 - 95,000 ounces of gold. Mesquite's cash costs were higher than 2025 Guidance, with cash costs of $1,345 per oz compared to guidance of $1,200 - $1,300 per oz sold due to lower reconciliation of recoverable ounces in the Ginger pit and a decrease in capitalized stripping. AISC was within 2025 Guidance, with AISC of $1,885 per oz was within 2025 Guidance of $1,800 - $1,900 per oz sold.

Non-sustaining capital was lower than 2025 Guidance due to lower capitalized stripping as the Ginger pit over-reconciled on ore tonnes. Exploration expenditures were higher than 2025 Guidance due to costs associated with drilling in the northwest Ginger deposit.

<u>Exploration and Development</u>

Exploration activities at Mesquite during the Quarter focused on near-mine resource expansion and delineation, with 15,930 metres of RC drilling completed in the western and central-north areas of the mine, total drilling in 2025 to 18,584 metres. In addition, 1,198 metres of geo-metallurgical core drilling were completed in the Vista pit area to refine oxidation boundaries and recovery models. Exploration expenditures totaled $2.6 million for the Quarter and $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Q4 2025 Analysis***

<u>Production</u>

Production from Brazil Operations were 7% lower in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, driven by lower grades across all the sites. Production was 5% higher in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024, due to more consistent operations in 2025. In 2024, Aurizona's operations were temporarily suspended for eight weeks from Q2 to early Q3, whereas Aurizona operated continuously in 2025. In addition, permitting delays in 2024 at RDM limited access to better grade ore, and Santa Luz had lower recoveries during 2024.

Cash costs per oz sold were 29% higher for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, due to lower ounces sold and higher mining costs driven mainly by an increase in open pit mining contract rates. Cash costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 were relatively consistent with the same period in 2024.

AISC per oz sold were 43% and 13% higher for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared with the same periods in 2024, due to higher cash costs and higher sustaining spend in the Bahia Complex with capitalized stripping, underground mine development and exploration activity classified as sustaining in 2025.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $40.4 million and $117.4 million, respectively, primarily related to capital stripping and underground mine development across all sites, Fazenda underground exploration, and spending on phase 2 of the dry stack TSF construction in 2025 at RDM.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $10.4 million and $29.2 million, respectively, primarily related to engineering studies on a portal and underground development at Aurizona, and capitalized stripping at RDM.

Production of 258,905 ounces compared to 2025 Guidance of 250,000 - 270,000 ounces of gold. Brazil's cash costs were lower than 2025 Guidance, with cash costs per oz sold of $1,663 per oz compared to guidance of $1,725 - $1,825 per oz, driven by higher production at the same level of spend. AISC was lower than 2025 Guidance, with AISC of $2,188 per oz compared to guidance of $2,275 - $2,375 per oz, primarily driven by lower cash costs and delays in spending on the Tatajuba tailings project and land acquisition at Aurizona.

<u>Exploration and Development</u>

Exploration drilling during the three months ended December 31, 2025 totaled 28,011 metres, primarily focused on delineating and expanding near-mine resources. Regional exploration programs were completed early in the Quarter, after which activities transitioned to data consolidation and drone-based geophysical surveys to support future target generation.

A total of 1,168 metres of core drilling was completed on regional targets at Aurizona during the Quarter, contributing to 6,580 metres of regional drilling across Brazil Operations in 2025. Resource conversion and expansion drilling totaled 24,620 metres at Fazenda and 2,223 metres at RDM during Q4 2025, bringing total resource conversion and expansion drilling across Brazil Operations for the year to 96,944 metres, and 103,525 metres in combination with regional programs. Total Brazil Operations exploration expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were $7.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively.

**DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS**<br>

**Valentine Phase 2 Expansion, Canada**

The Company is actively advancing Phase 2 studies and engineering for the Valentine Phase 2 expansion, aimed at significantly increasing processing throughput. The expansion targets an increase from the current design capacity of approximately 2.5 million tonnes per year to more than 4.5 million tonnes per year, which is expected to increase annual production by approximately 25%. Completion of a feasibility study is targeted for the end of the first quarter of 2026, following which the Company expects to seek approval from its Board of Directors to advance the Phase 2 expansion. The Phase 2 expansion is expected to result in an approximately 25% increase in gold production, to an estimated range of 225,000 to 250,000 ounces per year.

**Castle Mountain Expansion, California, USA**

Based on a 2021 feasibility study, the expanded operations at Castle Mountain (the "Castle Mountain Expansion") are expected to produce over 200,000 ounces of gold per year for an initial 14-year mine life. The Company expects to issue an updated feasibility study in the second half of 2026.

In June 2025, the Castle Mountain Expansion was accepted as a FAST-41 Project by the United States Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council. The FAST-41 permitting process is a federal permitting framework designed to streamline environmental reviews, improve interagency coordination and increase transparency, all of which is expected to reduce permitting timelines and enhance regulatory certainty.

***<u>2025 Update and Outlook</u>***

The Company continued to focus on advancing the engineering work for the Castle Mountain Expansion during 2025. During 2026, the Company plans to advance detailed engineering and environmental studies. An investment decision is expected during the first half of 2027 and is subject to a positive federal permitting decision, the receipt of county and state permits, and approval from the Company's Board of Directors. A site tour and the public scoping meeting with Bureau of Land Management, San Bernardino County, and SWCA Environmental Consultants was held in November 2025. The federal permitting process is expected to be completed in December 2026.

**Los Filos Expansion, Guerrero, Mexico** 

On April 1, 2025, the Company announced the indefinite suspension of operations at Los Filos due to the expiration of the land access agreement on March 31, 2025 with one of the three Los Filos host communities. Equinox gold previously outlined plans to expand Los Filos operations and extend mine life in a feasibility study that was predicated on construction of a CIL plant commencing in 2023 on the land of such community. As a long-term agreement has not yet been reached with the third community, operations at Los Filos remain indefinitely suspended. Equinox Gold is respectful of the community's decision and remains open to dialogue.

On June 30, 2025, the Company ratified the signature of new land access agreements with Mezcala and Xochipala, the two other communities near Los Filos. These long-term agreements enable a new mine development project, which started with an exploration program in Q3 2025 and are expected to be followed by engineering studies to review alternative locations for the CIL plant. The timing and amount of investment of the development project will be determined considering the results of these studies, the operating stability in the region, receipt of amended environmental permits, market conditions, and the availability and cost of capital.

**CORPORATE (CONTINUED)**

In advance of closing of the Calibre Acquisition, the Company participated in Calibre's private placement convertible note financing and, on March 4, 2025, purchased a convertible note with a principal amount of $40.0 million. In connection with the private placement, the Company received 8.8 million common share purchase warrants of Calibre for no additional consideration. The warrants, along with the convertible note, were effectively settled upon closing of the Calibre Acquisition.

Total consideration transferred for the Calibre acquisition was $1,969.1 million. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration transferred was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their estimated fair values as at the date of acquisition.

**Sprott Loan** 

As part of the Calibre Acquisition, the Company assumed the Sprott Loan which was secured by Calibre for the financing of Valentine construction. Upon completion of the Calibre Acquisition, the Sprott Loan had a principal amount of $285.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid $25.1 million of this outstanding principal.

At December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Sprott Loan was $281.9 million.

On January 23, 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding principal under the Sprott Loan in full. Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Loan, the Company paid an additional amount of $12.2 million, equal to the interest that would have been accrued on the amount prepaid from the date of prepayment to June 30, 2026.

In addition, the Sprott Loan was subject to an additional payment of $27.2 million, which was payable in monthly instalments of $0.4 million commencing on July 31, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Loan, the remaining balance of the additional payment of $25.1 million was paid in full by the Company on January 23, 2026 when the Sprott Loan was prepaid in full.

**2025 Convertible Notes**

As part of the Calibre Acquisition, the Company assumed the 2025 Convertible Notes issued by Calibre in March 2025 to parties other than the Company. The assumed 2025 Convertible Notes are denominated in CAD with a principal amount of C$49.7 million ($34.3 million) as of the acquisition date. The 2025 Convertible Notes are unsecured, mature on March 4, 2030 and bear interest at 5.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. At any time prior to maturity, the 2025 Convertible Notes are convertible at the holder's option into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of C$12.14 per common share.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, the holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes may require the Company to, within 30 days following the change of control, repay the 2025 Convertible Notes at a redemption amount equal to the lesser of a) 100% of the principal amount outstanding plus all remaining interest payable on the principal amount outstanding from the date of such redemption up to and including the maturity date, and b) 107% of the principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the redemption date. The Company may also, upon such change of control, prepay any portion of the principal amount outstanding using the same redemption formula as described above on the principal amount being repaid.

**Credit Facility**

On July 31, 2025, the Company increased the Revolving Facility from $700.0 million to $850.0 million and extended its maturity date from July 28, 2026 to July 31, 2029. The Term Loan maturity date was also extended from May 13, 2027 to July 31, 2029. The $100.0 million accordion feature was increased to a maximum of $350.0 million upon full repayment of the Term Loan. Other terms and conditions were amended, including reducing the applicable interest margin and credit spread and certain of the financial covenants were amended, including a reduction in the interest coverage ratio and removal of both the minimum liquidity and minimum tangible net worth requirements.

The Company subsequently fully repaid and terminated the Term Loan on January 23, 2026 and paid $115.0 million of the Revolving Facility on January 30, 2026, leaving $334.6 million of the Revolving Facility undrawn.

The Company recognized a modification gain of $13.0 million in other (expense) income in relation to amending the Revolving Facility and Term Loan.

**CORPORATE (CONTINUED)**

**Conversion of 2020 Convertible Notes**

In August 2025, the 2020 Convertible Notes were fully converted into common shares of the Company. The Company issued 21.4 million common shares on conversion of the 2020 Convertible Notes and reclassified the carrying amount of the financial liability of $139.3 million and conversion option of $10.1 million that was previously included in reserves to share capital.

**Sale of Nevada Assets**

On October 1, 2025, the Company completed the Nevada Asset Sale and received consideration of $136.5 million, composed of:

• $98.4 million in cash;

• $8.6 million in promissory note receivable; and

• 96.8 million common shares of Minera Alamos, representing 9.15% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Minera Alamos on the closing date.

The cash consideration received reflects the post-closing working capital adjustments pursuant to the share purchase agreement. The promissory note receivable matured and was paid by Minera Alamos on January 1, 2026. The fair value of the Minera Alamos common shares received of $29.5 million was determined based on Minera Alamos' quoted common share price of C$0.42 ($0.31) per share on the closing date of the Nevada Assets Sale. The common shares of Minera Alamos were consolidated on a 10:1 basis on January 5, 2026. In February 2026, the Company sold its 9.7 million common shares held on a post-consolidation basis for gross proceeds of C$56.1 million ($41.1 million).

**Sale of Brazil Operations**

On December 13, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with a third-party group (the "Buyer") to sell the Company's 100% interest in the Brazil Operations. The Brazil Sale Transaction closed on January 23, 2026. On closing of the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company received cash consideration of $891.1 million, which is subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments.

In addition to the cash received on closing, the Company is entitled to additional production-linked contingent consideration of up to $115.0 million payable on January 23, 2027, based on the number of gold ounces produced by the Brazil Operations during the 12-month period following closing (the "Brazil Measurement Period"). The contingent consideration equals 12.5% of incremental revenues from gold sales above 200,000 ounces, subject to a maximum payment of $115.0 million if sales exceed 280,000 ounces during the Brazil Measurement Period.

In connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company has provided certain indemnities to the Buyer, including those relating to pre-closing taxes and environmental and litigation matters.

The Brazil Operations, being a component of the Company that represents a separate major geographical area of operations of the Company, has been presented as a discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. Prior periods have been restated to conform with the current presentation.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**FINANCIAL RESULTS**

Net income from All Operations for Q4 2025 was $197.5 million (Q4 2024 - $28.3 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $221.5 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $339.3 million).

Net income from continuing operations for Q4 2025 was $82.3 million (Q4 2024 - net loss of $29.6 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was net loss of $18.9 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - net income of $260.3 million).

The higher net income from All Operations in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, which includes net income from the Brazil Operations, was driven primarily by the increase in average realized gold price, partially offset by lower gold ounces sold driven by lower grades across all the sites.

The higher net income from continuing operations in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024 is primarily due to the impact of the ramp up of Greenstone's operations following reaching commercial production in November 2024, contributions from the Nicaragua Operations and Valentine following the close of the Calibre Acquisition in June 2025, and an increase in the average realized gold price.

The net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net income from continuing operations for the same period in 2024 is primarily due to a decrease in other income, driven by the impact of remeasurement of the Company's 60% share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values, and increases in finance expense and care and maintenance expense at Los Filos in 2025. These variances were partially offset by higher income from mine operations due to the same factors mentioned for Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024.

The lower net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is impacted by the factors described in net income from continuing operations and is offset partially by higher net income from the Brazil Operations, which was primarily due to the increase in average realized gold price in 2025 compared to 2024.

**Income from Mine Operations**

Revenue from continuing operations for Q4 2025 was $681.4 million (Q4 2024 - $359.4 million) on sales of 168,558 ounces of gold (Q4 2024 - 136,384 ounces). Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,817.2 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $912.8 million) on sales of 519,671 ounces of gold (year ended December 31, 2024 - 374,246 ounces). Revenue from continuing operations increased by 90% and 99% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to increases of 53% and 43% respectively, in the average realized gold price per ounce sold and increases of 24% and 39%, respectively, in gold ounces sold.

Gold ounces sold for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were higher compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased contribution of gold sold ounces from Nicaragua Operations following the Calibre Acquisition and higher production at Greenstone as its ramp up continues after it achieved first gold pour on May 22, 2024, offset partially by a reduction in gold ounces sold at Los Filos which was not in operation after March 31, 2025.

**FINANCIAL RESULTS (CONTINUED)**

Operating expense from continuing operations in Q4 2025 was $239.3 million (Q4 2024 - $220.7 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $834.6 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $596.9 million). Operating expense in Q4 2025 increased 8% compared to Q4 2024 primarily due to additions related to Nicaragua Operations and Valentine following the Calibre Acquisition, offset partially by lower operation expense at Los Filos due to the impact of suspending operations on April 1, 2025. Operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by 40% compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to additions related to Nicaragua Operations and Valentine following the Calibre Acquisition and also due to the impact of Greenstone reaching commercial production in November 2024, offset partially by a decrease at Los Filos following the suspension of operations on April 1, 2025.

Depreciation and depletion from continuing operations in Q4 2025 was $99.8 million (Q4 2024 - $42.9 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $339.7 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $109.8 million). The increase for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the contribution of depreciation and depletion at the Nicaragua Operations following the Calibre Acquisition and Valentine and Greenstone after reaching commercial production in November 2025 and November 2024, respectively.

**General and Administration**

General and administration expense from continuing operations in Q4 2025 was $26.5 million (Q4 2024 - $12.6 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $104.7 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $52.2 million). The increase for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to costs associated with the Calibre Acquisition, including professional fees and an increase in corporate office personnel, as well as an increase in share-based compensation expense, primarily due to an increase in the Company's share price during 2025.

**Finance Expense**

Finance expense from continuing operations in Q4 2025 was $39.5 million (Q4 2024 - $36.7 million). Finance expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $179.3 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $91.3 million). The increase for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the cessation of capitalizing interest at Greenstone and Valentine following commercial production in November 2024 and 2025, respectively.

**Other Income (Expense)**

Other expense for Q4 2025 was $80.8 million (Q4 2024 - other expense of $42.3 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was other expense of $132.6 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - other income of $465.8 million).

The following table summarizes the significant components of other income (expense):

---

The change in fair value of foreign exchange contracts for Q4 2025 was a gain of $0.7 million (Q4 2024 - loss of $42.8 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $70.0 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - loss of $62.7 million). The gains recognized in Q4 2025 and year ended December 31, 2025 were primarily due to a strengthening of the BRL, MXN and CAD compared to the USD. The losses recognized for Q4 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily due to the impact of the weakening of the BRL, MXN and CAD relative to the USD during those periods.

The change in fair value of gold contracts for Q4 2024 was a loss of $21.1 million (Q4 2024 - gain of $5.4 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a loss of $88.6 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - loss of $40.0 million). The losses recognized for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 related to gold collar contracts entered into during 2023 and 2024. The changes in fair value of gold contracts in both 2024 and 2025 were driven by changes in the forward gold price relative to the gold contract strike price.

The change in the fair value of Greenstone contingent consideration derivative liability assumed on acquisition of Greenstone ("Greenstone Contingent Consideration") for Q4 2025 was a loss of $11.7 million (Q4 2024 - loss of $0.6 million). The loss in Q4 2025 was higher than Q4 2024 due to the impact of a larger increase in the average forward gold price in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024.

The change in the fair value of Greenstone Contingent Consideration for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a loss of $49.1 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - loss of $23.2 million). The loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was higher than the same period in 2024 due to the impact of the increase in the number of ounces to be delivered as a result of the acquisition of the remaining 40% interest in Greenstone in May 2024 and a larger increase in the average forward gold price in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024.

The change in the fair value of Equinox Gold warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2025 relates to the change in fair value of the Sprott Loan and the 2025 Convertible Notes, driven by an increase in the Company's share price after the Calibre Acquisition.

**FINANCIAL RESULTS (CONTINUED)**

The gain on modification of debt for the year ended December 31, 2025 relates to the modification of the Credit Facility. Refer to the *Corporate* section of this document for details of the modification.

**Income Tax (Expense)**

In Q4 2025, the Company recognized a tax expense of $93.4 million (Q4 2024 - tax expense of $34.4 million) and for the year ended December 31, 2025 recognized a tax expense of $150.2 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - tax expense of $273.0 million).

The tax expense for Q4 2025 and year ended December 31, 2025 primarily resulted from profitable operations in Canada, US, and Nicaragua and the impact of a settlement with the tax authority in Mexico for the 2017 tax year, offset partially by a tax recovery resulting from foreign exchange gains due to the strengthening of the MXN, which increased the benefit associated with tax base denominated in that currency, as well as the impact of the amortization of fair value adjustments on Calibre's mineral properties and inventory.

The tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily resulted from the remeasurement of the Company's share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values. The tax expense for Q4 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by profitable operations in the US, Brazil and Mexico and the impact of the weakening of MXN reducing the benefit associated with the tax base denominated in that currency.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

At December 31, 2025, the Company had financial, operating, and capital commitments of $797.1 million that require settlement within the next 12 months. At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $407.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Facility to increase the Revolving Facility from $700.0 million to $850.0 million and extend its maturity date from July 28, 2026 to July 31, 2029. The Term Loan maturity date was also extended from May 13, 2027 to July 31, 2029. The amount under the accordion feature was increased from $100.0 million to $350.0 million upon full repayment and cancellation of the Term Loan.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company drew down $85.0 million under the Revolving Facility and repaid $50.0 million of the outstanding principal. At December 31, 2025, there was $219.6 million undrawn on the Revolving Facility (2024 – $104.6 million) and the Term Loan was fully drawn.

Upon receipt of cash proceeds on close of the Brazil Operations in January 2026, the Company: (i) fully repaid the $500.0 million Term Loan; (ii) paid $300.4 million to extinguish the Sprott Loan and related obligations; and (iii) paid down $115.0 million of the Revolving Facility reducing the drawn amount to $515.4 million and increasing the undrawn amount to $334.6 million.

Management believes the Company's operating cash flows expected over the next 12 months, in addition to its cash and cash equivalents and available credit from the Revolving Facility, are sufficient to satisfy its financial, operating, and capital commitments that require settlement within the next 12 months.

**Working Capital**

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 were $407.4 million (December 31, 2024 - $239.3 million) and net working capital was $708.6 million (December 31, 2024 - $95.0 million). Working capital includes all assets and liabilities associated with the Brazil Sale Transaction as the Brazil Operations were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2025 (Assets held for sale: $928.3 million; Liabilities relating to assets held for sale: $230.7 million). Other significant components of working capital are described below.

Current inventories at December 31, 2025 were $369.8 million (December 31, 2024 - $417.5 million). The decrease was mainly due to inventories from the Brazil Operations being classified as assets held for sale and the reclassification of the carrying value of inventories at Los Filos from current inventories to other non-current assets as a result of the indefinite suspension of operations, offset partially by current inventories recognized as a result of the Calibre Acquisition.

Marketable securities at December 31, 2025 were $162.7 million (December 31, 2024 - $6.1 million). The increase was primarily due to the reclassification of the shares of Versamet Royalties Corporation ("Versamet") from other non-current assets based on the timing of release of shares from escrow and is also due to the increase in Versamet's share price.

Trade and other receivables at December 31, 2025 were $65.5 million (December 31, 2024 - $70.0 million). The following table summarizes the significant components of trade and other receivables:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | December 31,<br>2025 | December 31,<br>2024 |
| Trade receivables | $7146 | $3943 |
| VAT receivables | 36685 | 41808 |
| Income taxes receivable | 4679 | 5275 |
| Other receivables | 16958 | 19009 |
|  | $65468 | $70035 |

---

Current liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $1,262.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $689.1 million). The increase was mainly due to current liabilities assumed in connection with the Calibre Acquisition ($380.9 million at June 16, 2025). The overall increase in current liabilities was also due to the reclassification of non-current liabilities of the Brazil Operations to liabilities relating to assets held for sale, an increase in derivative liabilities, and reclassifications of amounts from non-current deferred revenue for deliveries in 2026 related to the gold sale and prepay arrangements.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)**

**Cash Flow**

Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $818.3 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $372.2 million). The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher income from mine operations, primarily due to the contributions from Greenstone and Nicaragua, and higher gold prices.

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $458.7 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $1,111.7 million). The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to $744.1 million paid as partial consideration to acquire the remaining 40% interest in Greenstone in 2024 and the addition of $193.1 million of the acquisition-date cash balance of Calibre on June 17, 2025, partially offset by capital spending for the completion of the construction of Valentine of $211.2 million, proceeds received of $48.2 million related to the sale of the Company's remaining investment in i-80 Gold Corp. in Q2 2024, and $40.0 million invested in Calibre convertible notes in Q1 2025.

Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 used cash of $171.9 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - provided cash of $792.5 million). The increase in cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily due to cash received in Q2 2024 through a $60.0 million draw on the Company's Revolving Facility and $500.0 million received in connection with the Term Loan, net proceeds received from the issuance of shares in 2024 of $335.6 million and the repayment of loans and borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $81.5 million. These decreases were offset partially by the impact of draws of $85.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, on the Company's Credit Facility.

**Corporate Investments**

At December 31, 2025, the Company's corporate investments included the following:

• 11.6 million shares of Versamet Royalties Corporation ("Versamet") (TSX-V: VMET), representing approximately 12.4% of Versamet on a basic basis

• 96.8 million<sup>(1)</sup> shares of Minera Alamos (TSX-V: MAI), representing approximately 8.93% of Minera Alamos on a basic basis, sold in February 2026 for gross proceeds of C$56.1 million ($41.1 million).

• 38.3 million shares of Bear Creek Mining Corporation ("Bear Creek") (TSX: BCM), representing approximately 13.1% of Bear Creek on a basic basis

<sup>(1)</sup> The common share of Minera Alamos were consolidated on a 10:1 basis on January 5, 2026.

**OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA**<br>

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has 788,281,919 shares issued and outstanding, 7,343,566 shares issuable under stock options and 4,371,161 shares issuable under restricted share units. The Company also has 31,470,442 shares potentially issuable on conversion of Convertible Notes and 3,075,273 shares issuable under share purchase warrants. The fully diluted outstanding share count at the date of this MD&A is 834,542,361.

**COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**<br>

The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business that give rise to commitments for future payments. The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company's financial liabilities, and operating and capital purchase commitments at December 31, 2025, excluding those relating to the Brazil Operations:

<sup>(1)</sup> Amount includes principal and interest payments, except accrued interest which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

<sup>(2)</sup> Derivative liabilities in the above table represent the fair values of the derivative instruments that are expected to be cash-settled.

<sup>(3)</sup> Other financial liabilities mainly relate to the equipment facilities.

<sup>(4)</sup> Amounts represent undiscounted future cash flows.

In January 2026, the Company fully repaid the $500 million Term Loan and paid $300.4 million to extinguish the Sprott Loan and related obligations and repaid $75 million of the amount drawn on the Revolving Facility. With these repayments subsequent to December 31, 2025, the commitments for Loans and borrowings outlined above are estimated to be reduced by the following amounts: $210 million (within 1 year), $370 million (within 1-2 years), $240 million (within 2-3 years) and $130 million (within 3-4 years).

**Contingencies**

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, and is exposed to contingent liabilities arising from legal and other actions relating to tax, environmental and other matters in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Management regularly reviews these matters with external counsel to assess the likelihood of a material cash outflow. Where management believes that a cash outflow is probable, a provision for the estimated settlement amount is recognized. Liabilities relating to uncertain tax treatments are recognized as part of income tax liabilities. At December 31, 2025, the Company's provision for legal, environmental and other matters amounted to $10.3 million which was primarily included in liabilities relating to assets held for sale (2024 – $6.4 million included in other non-current liabilities).

At December 31, 2025, the Company had the following significant outstanding matters:

**Tax**

*Mercedes Mine 2016 tax year audit*

The Company sold the Mercedes Mine to a third party in 2022 and the sale agreement included tax indemnity provisions. The Mexican tax authority is currently auditing the 2016 tax year for the Mercedes Mine. As a final assessment has not been issued, the Company determined that no present obligation existed under the tax indemnity at December 31, 2025 and, accordingly, no provision was recognized. The amount and timing of any final assessment remain uncertain and may be subject to appeal.

**COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)**<br>

**Environmental**

A historic rain event caused widespread flooding in the Aurizona region in March 2021 resulting in the overflow of a freshwater pond at the Aurizona site. The tailings facility and other infrastructure remained operational. Public civil actions have been filed against Mineração Aurizona S.A. ("MASA") in the state and federal courts seeking various damages related to the rain event, and criminal proceedings have been initiated by the federal public prosecutor. The Company, together with its advisors, believes the public civil actions and criminal proceedings are without merit and that a cash outflow is not probable. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized in relation to the public civil actions and criminal proceedings at December 31, 2025. In connection with the Brazil Sale Transaction, the Company has provided indemnities to the Buyer in respect of certain claims, including this matter. The Brazil Sale Transaction is described in more detail in the *Corporate* section of this document.

**RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's related parties include its subsidiaries and key management personnel (2024 – subsidiaries, associate, joint operation and key management personnel). The Company's key management personnel consist of executive and non-executive directors and members of executive management.

The remuneration of the Company's directors and other key management personnel during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 |
| Salaries, directors' fees and other short-term benefits | $**11598** | $3203 |
| Share-based payments | **6640** | 3732 |
| Termination benefits | **8517** |  |
| Total key management personnel compensation | $**26755** | $6935 |

---

At December 31, 2025, $2.3 million (2024 – $1.3 million) was owed by the Company to key management for accrued salaries and bonuses.

**NON-IFRS MEASURES**

This MD&A refers to cash costs, cash costs per oz sold, AISC, AISC per oz sold, AISC contribution margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and sustaining capital expenditures that 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 silver by-product credits. Cash costs are divided by ounces sold to arrive at cash costs per oz sold. In calculating cash costs, the Company deducts silver by-product credits 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 the AISC measure 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.

**Sustaining Capital and Sustaining Expenditures**

Sustaining capital expenditures are defined as those expenditures which do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company's projects and certain expenditures at the Company's operating sites which are deemed expansionary. Sustaining capital expenditures can include, but are not limited to, capitalized stripping costs at open pit mines, underground mine development, mining and milling equipment and TSF raises. The following table provides a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures to the Company's total capital expenditures for continuing operations:

**NON-IFRS MEASURES (CONTINUED)**

**Total Mine-Site Free Cash Flow**

Mine-site free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial performance measure. The Company believes this measure is a useful indicator of its ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. In calculating total mine-site free cash flow, the Company excludes the impact of fair value adjustments on acquired inventories as these adjustments do not impact cash flow from operating mine sites. Mine-site free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Mine-site free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table provides a reconciliation of mine-site free cash flow to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on an aggregate basis:

**AISC Contribution Margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA** 

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and other stakeholders use AISC contribution margin, AISC contribution margin per gold ounce sold and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flows and service debt. AISC contribution margin is defined as revenue less AISC. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as the impact of fair value changes of options, warrants, foreign exchange contracts and gold contracts; unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction costs, and non-cash share-based compensation expense. It is also adjusted to exclude items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance, such as impairments and gains and losses on disposals of assets.

The following tables provide the calculation of AISC contribution margin, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company:

**Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS**

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant but not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, such as the impact of fair value changes in the value of options, warrants, foreign exchange contracts and gold contracts, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, and non-cash share-based compensation expense. It is also adjusted to exclude items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated in advance or that are not considered representative of core operating performance, such as impairments and gains and losses on disposals of assets. Adjusted net income per share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis as determined by IFRS.

The following table provides the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, as adjusted and calculated by the Company:

**Net Debt**

The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use net debt to evaluate the Company's performance. Net debt does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore it may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. This measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performances prepared in accordance with IFRS. Net debt is calculated as the sum of the current and non-current portions of long-term debt, net of the cash and cash equivalent (unrestricted) balance as at the balance sheet date. A reconciliation of net debt is provided below.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

**Financial Risk Management**

The Board of Directors, directly and through its committees, oversees the Company's enterprise risk management process framework, which is designed to identify, assess, and manage risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operation or future performance. The risks described in this MD&A are primarily financial, market-related and recent risks and are not exhaustive. Other risk factors, including operational, economic, construction, environmental, permitting, and property risks, are described under the heading "*Risks Related to the Business*" in the Company's most recently filed Annual Information Form.

**Financial Instrument Risk Exposure**

The Company is exposed, in varying degrees, to a range variety of financial instrument related risks. The Audit Committee oversees Company's process to identify, assess and manage financial risks. The Company's exposures to financial risks, together with its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, are described in note 32 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no significant changes to the Company's exposures to financial risks or its management of those risks during the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 except as noted below. At December 31, 2025, the financial risks to which the Company is exposed and the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks are as follows:

(a)Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, and other current and non-current receivables. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk on its financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income, at December 31, 2025, was $480.9 million (2024 - $279.7 million).

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by investing in high credit quality instruments and maintaining its cash balances with financial institutions with strong credit ratings. Credit risk arising from the Company's trade receivables is low with negligible expected credit losses as the Company sells its products to large global financial institutions and counterparties with strong credit profiles.

(b)Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had an $850.0 million Revolving Facility available for general corporate purposes, other than for the repayment of amounts owing under its $172.5 million unsecured senior convertible notes and the 2025 Convertible Notes. At December 31, 2025 and at the date hereof, there was $219.6 million undrawn on the Revolving Facility and $334.6 million, respectively, available to be drawn on the Revolving Facility.

The Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and access to available credit to meet its short-term business requirements. Liquidity risk is managed through a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process that assess funding requirements to support its current operations, development and expansion plans.

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)**

**Financial Instrument Risk Exposure (continued)**

The Company also considers liquidity risk in the management of its capital structure, with the objective of maintaining sufficient financial flexibility to ensure it will be able to continue as a gong concern, meet capital obligations and ongoing operational expenses, and fund suitable business opportunities as they arise. The Company may adjust its capital structure from time to time in response to market conditions, including through equity issuances or repurchases, debt drawdowns or repayments, or asset sales, as appropriate.

(c)Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is exposed to the following market risks arising primarily from: currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments, measured in the Company's functional currency, will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk on transactions and investments denominated in currencies other than USD. At December 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to currency risk related to balances denominated in CAD, NIO and MXN. Effective January 1, 2024, the Central Bank of Nicaragua adopted a policy which fixed the NIO exchange rate against the US dollar at the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2023. The exchange rate has remained fixed since January 1, 2024, mitigating the Company's exposure to currency risk as a result of changes in the NIO exchange rate against the US dollar.

The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies at December 31, 2025, excluding those classified as held for sale:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **At December 31, 2025** | **CAD** | **NIO** | **MXN** |
| Financial assets | $**180677** | $**2064** | $**3269** |
| Financial liabilities | **(363714)** | **(31811)** | **(8711)** |
|  | $**(183037)** | $**(29747)** | $**(5442)** |
| At December 31, 2024 |  |  |  |
| Financial assets | $30531 | $— | $1758 |
| Financial liabilities | (75026) |  | (32922) |
|  | $(44495) | $— | $(31164) |

---

Based on the above foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at December 31, 2025, excluding the effect of foreign exchange contracts, the reasonably possible weakening or strengthening in CAD against USD, assuming all other variables remained constant, would have resulted in a $13.4 million increase or decrease, respectively, in the Company's net income during the year ended December 31, 2025.

A weakening or strengthening in NIO and MXN against the USD, assuming all other variables remained constant, would not have resulted in a significant impact on the Company's net loss from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2025.

In accordance with its foreign currency exchange risk management program, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts, which are accounted for as derivatives, to manage its exposure to currency risk. The Company's outstanding USD:BRL foreign exchange contracts were fully settled on January 23, 2026. A 10% weakening in the CAD and MXN against the USD at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the Company's foreign currency net foreign currency derivative asset and an increase of $21.0 million in the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. A 10% strengthening in the CAD and MXN against the USD would have resulted in an increase in the fair value of the Company's net foreign currency net derivative asset and a decrease of $18.6 million in the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.

At December 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on its Revolving Facility and Sprott Loan which bear variable interest rates based on SOFR. The Term Loan and Sprott Loan were fully repaid on January 23, 2026. A 1.0% increase or decrease in the SOFR interest rate during the year ended December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease or increase, respectively, of $4.8 million, respectively, in the interest expense on the Revolving Facility and the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash which earn interest at variable rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, including commodity prices (such as gold) and equity prices, other those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2025,the Company's investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value. A 10% increase in the applicable share prices would have resulted in an increase of $14.1 million in the Company's other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2025. A 10% decrease in the applicable share prices would have resulted in a decrease of $14.1 million in the Company's other comprehensive income.

In connection with the gold swap agreements and the Greenstone Contingent Consideration, a 10% increase in the price of gold at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in an increase of $17.1 million in the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. A 10% decrease in the price of gold at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease of $9.7 million in the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. Based on the contractual terms and total notional ounces remaining, the Company is not exposed to significant price risk on its outstanding gold collar contracts as at December 31, 2025.

The fair values of the conversion option embedded in the 2025 Convertible Notes conversion option and the Equinox Gold Warrants are measured using valuation models that include the Company's share price as a key input. A 10% increase or decrease in the Company's share price at December 31, 2025 would have resulted in a decrease or increase, respectively, of $6.0 million, respectively, in the Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)**

**Other Risks**

*Business Arrangements and Transaction Risk*

On December 13, 2025, Equinox Gold announced the sale of its Brazilian assets, comprising the Aurizona and RDM mines and the Bahia Complex, to CMOC Limited ("CMOC"). The transaction closed on January 23, 2026. Under the applicable share purchase agreement and related documents, the Company has provided CMOC with certain indemnities, including with respect to environmental matters, tailings facilities, and existing litigation. These indemnities create potential exposure to future, and potentially significant, costs, particularly given the longtime horizon and inherent uncertainty associated with environmental, political and regulatory matters in Brazil. In addition, $115.0 million of the purchase price is contingent upon CMOC achieving certain production targets during 2026. There is no guarantee that the conditions for the contingent cash payment will be met.

*Sanctions Risk*

Canada and the United States both impose sanctions on Nicaragua that target individuals and entities associated with the Nicaraguan government. The sanctions are designed to pressure the Nicaraguan government to improve its human rights record and governance practices. The sanctions could increase operational risk for the Company as ongoing operations could be impacted in the event of non-compliance with the sanctions; and the existence of the sanctions could limit the financing and insurance options available to the Company regarding its Nicaraguan operations.

A 2018 U.S. executive order created a sanctions program targeting individuals involved in human rights abuses, political repression, or corruption in Nicaragua, including government officials since 2007. Other U.S. sanctions programs, such as the Venezuelan Sanctions Regulations, may also affect Nicaragua. The 2021 RENACER Act called for expanded sanctions, and a 2022 executive order authorized sanctions on persons operating in Nicaragua's gold sector. Equinox Gold believes its activities comply with these orders and related sanctions programs. However, because circumstances continue to evolve, entities it currently engages with may become designated in the future, which could materially impact operations.

Nicaragua is also listed by the Financial Action Task Force ("FATF") as a jurisdiction with strategic deficiencies in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing controls. It is under increased monitoring and has taken steps since 2020 to strengthen its framework, including pursuing international assistance and adopting a beneficial ownership registry.

*Taxation Risk*

Equinox Gold operates in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to a complex array of taxes, including corporate income taxes, mining-specific royalties and duties, withholding taxes, value-added taxes (VAT/IVA/ICMS), capital gains taxes, and other levies imposed by federal, state/provincial, and municipal authorities in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Nicaragua. Changes in tax laws, regulations, or royalty rates could materially increase the Company's tax burden, reduce profitability, or adversely affect cash flows and financial condition.

The Company's corporate structure and operations are organized in reliance on its interpretation of applicable tax laws, including those related to transfer pricing, withholding taxes, capital gains, and other foreign country tax rules. Tax authorities may challenge these interpretations Adverse outcomes from tax audits, reassessments, or disputes could result in significant additional tax liabilities, penalties, and interest, with a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

The Company is currently involved in ongoing tax disputes and audits in certain jurisdictions. While the Company believes its positions are defensible and pursues appeals or settlements where appropriate, there can be no assurance of favorable outcomes, timely recovery of amounts paid or credited, or that resolutions will not require material cash outflows.

Repatriation of earnings from foreign subsidiaries may be subject to withholding taxes, currency controls, or other restrictions in certain jurisdictions, potentially limiting the Company's ability to fund operations or return capital to shareholders. Furthermore, the Company has recently announced the sale of its Brazilian operations. Under the terms of that sale, the Company will continue to be subject to certain historical tax matters.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)**

The ongoing implementation of the OECD's Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (Pillar Two), which impose a 15% global minimum effective tax rate on large multinational enterprises, is being adopted in an increasing number of jurisdictions where the Company operates. These rules could result in additional top-up taxes, increased compliance costs, and heightened disclosure requirements if the Company's effective tax rate in any jurisdiction falls below the minimum threshold.

There can be no assurance that current or future tax laws, interpretations, or administrative practices in the Company's operating jurisdictions will remain consistent, or that new taxes, royalties, or environmental levies will not be introduced, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

*Foreign Operations*

Equinox Gold operates through subsidiaries, including in the United States, Mexico and Nicaragua, and as such faces risks typical of foreign business activities. These risks include nationalization, forced contract modifications or cancellation, political and fiscal instability, adverse legal changes, permit delays, opposition to projects, unreliable infrastructure, labor issues, equipment shortages, import/export regulations, inflation, currency fluctuations, biased dispute resolution, government abuse of power, enforcement difficulties, regulatory compliance challenges, criminal activity, civil unrest, terrorism, military repression, and public health concerns. Uncertainty over whether the United States, Mexican or Nicaraguan governments will implement changes in policy or regulation may contribute to economic uncertainty. Historically, politics in these regions have affected the performance of the economy and past political crises have affected the confidence of investors and the public generally, resulting in an economic slowdown.

In late 2024, the Trump administration in the United States signaled changes to US trade policies, including the introduction of new tariffs. Retaliatory tariffs, domestic 'buy local policies' and other constraints to international commerce have subsequently arisen. The US administration may also seek to roll back existing free trade agreements like the trilateral Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, which could have substantial impacts on supply *chains.* 

*Community Relations* 

The Company's ability to maintain positive relationships with its host communities is critical to ensuring the success of its operations and future projects. Equinox Gold maintains industry standard social and environmental practices, works to ensure compliance with its commitments to its host communities, and has initiated programs to enhance its community engagement. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain positive relationships with host communities and the failure of such relationships could result in legal actions, the establishment of blockades, permitting delays or other disruptions to the Company's business.

Opposition by community and non-governmental organizations ("NGOs") to mining activities can disrupt operations or the development of a new project. Adverse publicity and damage to Equinox Gold's reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include negative publicity, whether true or not. Mining activities at Los Filos were disrupted in each of 2020, 2021 and 2022 because of community blockades, the disputes led to the non-renewal of surface rights agreement with one of the three host communities and resulted in the suspension of operations at Los Filos on March 31, 2025.

Nicaragua experienced major social unrest in 2018, leading to protests and roadblocks near the El Limón and La Libertad complexes. These blockades restricted the supply of key consumables such as fuel and lime, temporarily affecting gold production. Although operations at both complexes subsequently resumed, Equinox Gold remains exposed to potential disruptions from future illegal roadblocks or social conflict.

Although Equinox Gold places great emphasis on maintaining its community relationships and its reputation, the Company does not have control over how it is perceived by others. Reputation loss may lead to increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and decreased investor confidence and act as an impediment to Equinox Gold's overall ability to advance its projects or secure financing, thereby having an adverse impact on financial performance, cash flows, growth prospects, and the market value of the Company's securities.

**RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (CONTINUED)**

In Nicaragua, the La Libertad Complex is located adjacent to significant artisanal and small-scale gold mining activity, the scale of which has increased with rising gold prices, creating a risk of conflict that could materially adversely affect La Libertad's operations and development plans. Further expansion of mining activities may require the relocation and resettlement of artisanal miners, and any delays arising from such processes could negatively impact schedules, increase costs or prevent further development.

*Volcanic and Seismic Activity Risk*

Equinox Gold's exploration, development, and mining activities are exposed to natural hazards, including volcanic eruptions and seismic events. Volcanic activity and earthquakes can occur with little warning and may damage infrastructure, disrupt operations, impair air and water quality, and increase regulatory or remediation costs. These events may also affect nearby communities, creating safety, legal, and reputational risks.

Active or potentially active volcanoes or seismically active areas near Equinox Gold's operations could require temporary shutdowns and may harm facilities, tailings and water management systems, power supply, and transportation access. Although the Company monitors geological and geotechnical indicators and maintains emergency and business-continuity procedures, volcanic and seismic events are difficult to predict and cannot be fully mitigated.

A significant volcanic or seismic event could materially affect Equinox Gold's operations, financial condition, future development plans, and the market price of its securities.

**ACCOUNTING MATTERS**<br>

**Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies**

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Details of material accounting policies are disclosed in note 3 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The impact of future accounting changes is disclosed in note 3(m) to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments**

In preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. All estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Areas of judgment are disclosed in note 4(a). Key sources of estimation uncertainty, including those the Company believes to be critical accounting estimates, that have the most significant effect are disclosed in notes 4(b), 5(a) and 10(c) of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

![eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg](eqxlogoonelinenoringsrgb002a.jpg)<br>**Management's Discussion and Analysis**<br>For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025<br>

**INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**<br>

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under U.S. and Canadian securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under U.S. and Canadian securities legislation is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to permit timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, Management cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators, as at December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at December 31, 2025.

**Internal Controls over Financial Reporting**

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR") as defined in the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

The Company's ICFR includes policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are designed to provide reasonable assurance that accounting records are maintained that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the Company's receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company's Directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company's ICFR may not prevent or detect all misstatements because of inherent limitations. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the Company's policies and procedures.

**INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)**<br>

On June 17, 2025, the Company completed the Calibre Acquisition. As permitted under Section 3.3(1)(b) of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings, which allows for an issuer to limit the design of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures to exclude a business that the issuer acquired not more than 365 days before the end of December 31, 2025, the Company has excluded the internal controls of Calibre's entities from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting because Calibre was acquired not more than 365 days before the end of December 31, 2025. The Company is in the process of integrating Calibre's operations and internal control framework and expects to include Calibre's entities in the scope of its internal control assessments in future reporting periods.

The table below presents the summary financial information included in the Company's consolidated annual financial statements for the excluded controls related to the acquired business:

| Net Income | 80.7 |

| Total current assets | $415.2 |
| Total non-current assets | 1793.7 |
| Total current liabilities | 474.6 |
| Total non-current liabilities | 499.3 |

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's ICFR based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this assessment, Management concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were effective as at December 31, 2025.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and has expressed their opinion in their report included with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements.

This MD&A includes forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and may include future-oriented financial information or financial outlook information (collectively "Forward-looking Information"). Actual results of operations and the ensuing financial results may vary materially from the amounts set out in any Forward-looking Information.

While the Company considers these assumptions reasonable, they may prove incorrect.

Such factors include those described in the section "Risk Factors in in the Company's MD&A dated February 20, 2026 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in the section titled "Risks Related to the Business" in Equinox Gold's most recently filed Annual Information Form which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar and the section titled "Risk Factors" in Calibre Mining's most recently filed Annual Information Form which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Except as required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results of any change to any Forward-looking Information contained or incorporated by reference to reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting Forward-looking Information. If the Company updates any Forward-looking Information, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to those or other Forward-looking Information. All Forward-looking Information contained in this MD&A is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
