Greg Smith, President and CEO of Equinox Gold, commented: “This was a record quarter for Equinox Gold, with our best-ever third-quarter production and all-time highest quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the ongoing ramp-up at our Greenstone Mine and strong gold prices. During Q3, the Greenstone Mine demonstrated good progress, with both mining and processing rates increasing substantially. Subsequent to quarter-end, mining and milling rates have continued to increase and we were pleased to declare commercial production at Greenstone earlier today. The team remains focused on continuing this momentum through the fourth quarter as the mine progresses toward design capacity. “In early October we updated our production expectations for Greenstone to reflect ramp-up progress to date, resulting in 2024 consolidated production guidance of 590,000 to 675,000 ounces of gold. With our highest quarterly production this year expected in Q4, we look forward to ending the year strongly and applying our increasing cash flow to pay down debt.”HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 Operational Produced 173,983 ounces of gold Sold 173,973 ounces of gold at an average realized gold price of $2,461 per oz Total cash costs of $1,720 per oz and AISC of $1,994 per oz(1) Two lost-time injuries; total recordable injury frequency rate(2) of 1.79 per million hours worked for the 12-month rolling period (1.78 for the Quarter) Earnings Income from mine operations of $101.4 million Net income of $0.3 million or $0.00 per share (basic) Adjusted net income of $37.4 million or $0.09 per share(1) (basic) Financial Cash flow provided by operations before changes in non-cash working capital of $130.1 million (cash flow provided by operations of $139.5 million after changes in non-cash working capital) Adjusted EBITDA of $141.9 million(1) Sustaining expenditures(1) of $35.7 million and non-sustaining expenditures of $81.5 million Cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted) of $167.8 million at September 30, 2024 Net debt(1) of $1,314.7 million at September 30, 2024October 2024, $140 million 2019 convertible notes converted to shares on maturity to reduce net debt Corporate Greenstone ceremonial mine opening in late August “Ride to Greenstone” fundraiser, an Equinox Gold employee cycling relay from Vancouver, BC to Geraldton, ON, raised C$1.3 million for the Geraldton District Hospital Exploration Released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the exploration-stage Hasaga Property in Red Lake, ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS During October 2024, Equinox Gold:Issued an updated technical report for Greenstone, which is available for download on the Company’s website, on SEDAR+ and on EDGAR Filed a short form base shelf prospectus, replacing the expiring one, that permits the issuance of the Company’s securities over a period of 25 months in Canada and the United States Issued 26.6 million common shares on conversion by noteholders of the $140 million 2019 convertible notes Provided an update on Greenstone ramp-up progress and adjusted Greenstone 2024 production and cost guidance to 110,000-130,000 ounces of gold with cash costs of $850-$950/oz and AISC of $1,050-$1,150/oz Amended certain gold prepay agreements to defer deliveries of 3,900 ounces per month originally scheduled for October 2024-February 2025 to May-September 2026 Announced on November 6, 2024, that Greenstone has reached commercial production based on the operating progress achieved through October Note: Very detailed breakdown here equinoxgold.com
