## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Equinox Gold Secures Long-Term Land Access Agreements with All Three Communities at Los Filos Mine, Planning and Technical Work Underway to Support Mine Restart and Annual Production Expansion**

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- **Equinox Gold Corp.** (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed 20-year land access agreements with all three communities that host its Los Filos Mine in Guerrero, Mexico ("Los Filos"). With these agreements in place, the Company has initiated activities to support the gradual restart of heap leach operations and is advancing technical studies to evaluate potential expansion opportunities.

**Darren Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Equinox Gold, commented:** "We appreciate the constructive engagement with the communities of Carrizalillo, Mezcala and Xochipala that host our multi-million-ounce Los Filos Mine. These new 20-year agreements reflect a shared commitment to responsible operations and sustainable benefits over time and provide an important foundation for strengthening our long-term relationship with the communities and fostering an environment that supports future investment and long-term value creation.

"With land access agreements in place, we will commence planning for the restart of heap leach operations, while continuing to pursue our exploration programs and technical and engineering studies to assess longer-term development options, including construction of a carbon-in-leach ("CIL") processing facility.

"Los Filos is a world-class deposit, which based on the June 30, 2022 mineral reserve and resource estimation contains 5.4 million ounces of mineral reserves, 7.9 million ounces of measured and indicated mineral resources (exclusive of reserves), 3.2 million ounces of inferred mineral resources, and significant exploration upside. We believe there is meaningful potential to expand the resource base and increase annual production over time. Our technical work will include an assessment of opportunities to optimize and grow the operation, including evaluating increases to the envisioned CIL mill throughput relative to previous studies, as well as updating project economics and development plans. The 2022 technical report was prepared using a mineral reserve gold price assumption of US$1,450 per ounce, and we believe there may be opportunities to enhance project economics through updated metal prices, as well as optimized operating assumptions and technical parameters (see October 19, 2022 news release). We intend to advance this work through a phased, de-risking approach that reflects technical, operational, permitting and stakeholder considerations, while maintaining collaborative engagement with our community partners."

In addition to the new surface land access agreements, the parties agreed to an overall policy on labour and supply services. The Company is applying a disciplined, accountable and transparent approach to labour, contractor and community-related arrangements as part of its broader commitment to responsible operations and stakeholder engagement. Restart activities include environmental remediation, permitting, workforce rehiring and retraining, and supplier contract negotiations. The Company is committed to upholding industry best practices for all its operations guided by globally recognized standards and frameworks. Equinox Gold is a member of the Mining Association of Canada ("MAC") and strives to diligently implement MAC's Towards Sustainable Mining ("TSM") Protocols across its mining operations. The Company will continue to apply the TSM Protocols at Los Filos and looks forward to future reporting on its performance.

The Company will provide updates on restart activities and development plans as technical work progresses. Equinox Gold has not included any production from Los Filos in its 2026 production guidance of 700,000 to 800,000 ounces of gold.

<sup>**Notes**: Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), which are incorporated by reference in NI 43-101. The open pit Mineral Reserve estimate was prepared under the oversight and review of Mr. Eugene Tucker, P.Eng., and the underground Mineral Reserve estimate was prepared under the oversight and review of Mr. Paul Salmenmaki, P.Eng. Mr. Tucker and Mr. Salmenmaki are "Qualified Persons" as defined by NI 43-101. Mineral Reserves are estimated using a long-term gold price of $1,450 per troy oz and a long-term silver price of $18 per troy oz for all mining areas. Mineral Reserves are stated in terms of delivered tonnes and grade before process recovery. Mineral Reserves are defined by pit optimization and are based on variable break-even cut-offs as generated by process destination and metallurgical recoveries. Metal recoveries are variable dependent on metal head grades as outlined in the Technical Report. Open pit dilution is applied at 5% at a zero grade for Au and Ag for Bermejal Open Pit and Guadalupe Open Pit, and 7% at zero grade for Au and Ag for Los Filos Open Pit. Open pit mining recovery is applied at 95% for Bermejal Open Pit and Guadalupe Open Pit, and 93% for Los Filos Open Pit. Heap leach process recovery varies based on rock type. The Qualified Persons responsible for this item of the Technical Report are not aware of any mining, metallurgical, infrastructure, permitting or other relevant factors that could materially affect the Mineral Reserve estimates. Effective date of Mineral Reserves is June 30, 2022. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Contained gold and silver ounces are reported as troy ounces. Underground Mineral Reserves are reported based on a variable net processing return cut-off value varying between $65.8 and $96.6/t. Underground dilution is assigned an average of 10% at a zero grade for gold and silver. Underground mining recovery is set to 97%. Numbers may not sum due to rounding. Additional details regarding the Mineral Reserve estimation, classification, reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for Los Filos are provided in the Feasibility Study. In addition, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources may be materially affected by legal, political, environmental and other risks, including the factors identified in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 24, 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Cautionary Notes.</sup>

<sup>**Notes:** Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves and have been estimated in accordance with CIM *Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves* (2014), which are incorporated by reference in NI 43-101. The Mineral Resource estimate was prepared under the oversight and review of Mr. Ali Shahkar, P.Eng., a "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have a demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are reported to a gold price of $1,550/oz. Open pit Mineral Resources are defined within pit shells that use variable mining and recovery estimates depending on the geometallurgical domain and whether mineralization is projected to report to crush-leach or is considered typical run-of-mine for processing requirements. Open pit Mineral Resources are reported to a gold cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t. Open pit Mineral Resources use variable mining costs of $1.27-$1.43/t and variable processing costs of $3.40-$12.81/t. Recovery ranges from 50% to 85% depending on ore treatment method. Underground Mineral Resources use variable mining costs of $57.21-$93.12/t and variable processing costs of $9.53-$11.64/t, and a process recovery of 90%-95%. Underground Mineral Resources are reported to a gold cut-off grade of: Los Filos South Underground 1.71 g/t gold; Los Filos North Underground 2.05 g/t gold; Bermejal underground 2.71 g/t gold. Quantity of material is rounded to the nearest 1,000 tonnes; grades are rounded to two decimal places for gold, one decimal place for silver. Numbers may not sum due to rounding. Additional details regarding the Mineral Resource estimation, classification, reporting parameters, key assumptions and associated risks for Los Filos are provided in the Feasibility Study. In addition, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources may be materially affected by legal, political, environmental and other risks, including the factors identified in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 24, 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
