Mesquite has produced more than five\u00a0million ounces of gold since it commenced operations in 1986, with annual gold production averaging approximately 125,000 ounces over the last 10 years.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Mesquite was Equinox Gold\u2019s first operating mine. The Company acquired Mesquite in October 2018, immediately transforming Equinox Gold from a developer to a gold producer. Since then, strong gold prices and exploration success have significantly extended the mine life, bringing consistent cash flow to the Company and substantial value to Equinox Gold shareholders.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Inflationary pressures during 2022 hit Mesquite particularly hard, since the mine&#8217;s most significant consumables of diesel, cyanide and lime experienced massive price increases. To reduce costs during 2023, mining at Mesquite has pivoted to a small-pit approach to reduce waste stripping. While this will reduce production in 2023, exploration and permitting will continue to enable mine life extensions beyond 2023.<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Production at Mesquite in 2025 is forecast at 85,000 &#8211; 95,000 ounces of gold with all-in sustaining costs between $1,800 to $1,900 per ounce of gold sold.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter\">\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-pt--6 fndry-pb--4\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--12\">\n\t<h2 class=\"fndry-heading\"><strong>Operating Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">2025 Actuals<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">2024 Actuals<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>2023 <\/strong>Actuals<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>2022 Actuals<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>2021 Actuals<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>2020 Actuals<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gold produced (oz)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">85,998<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">71,984<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">87,753<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">123,965<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">137,467<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">141,270<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cash costs ($\/oz)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,259<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,105<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">978<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">974<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">899<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AISC ($\/oz)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,306<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,251&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,285<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,327<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">1,091<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sustaining capital ($M)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">.6<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">11&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">36<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">46<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">24<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Growth capital ($M)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">41<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">&nbsp;17<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">18<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">19<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\">9<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-pt--0 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-row--gutter fndry-justify--start\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--12 fndry-col--md-10 fndry-col--sm-12 fndry-pb--4 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\">\n\t<h2 class=\"fndry-heading\"><strong>Mining and Processing<\/strong><\/h2><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Mining is performed using owner-operated, conventional truck and shovel open pit mining methods. Run-of-mine ore is hauled directly to the leach pad for processing, with a standard carbon-in-column circuit to recover gold. While the Company is mining one ore body, it commences waste stripping of a new deposit to provide the next source of ore. \u00a0<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Gold recoveries average approximately 75% for oxide ore and 35% for non\u2010oxide ore, with a 90-day leach cycle. Residual leaching of previously leached ore is anticipated to continue for two to three years after final ore is placed, providing continued gold production even after mining has ceased.<\/p><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--12 fndry-col--md-10 fndry-col--sm-12 fndry-pb--4 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\">\n\t<h2 class=\"fndry-heading\"><strong><strong>Exploration and Geology<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Since acquiring Mesquite in 2018, Equinox Gold has significantly extended the mine life by drilling historical waste dumps and historical leach pads to identify mineralization that is economic at current gold prices. In addition, there are a number of exploration targets within the Mesquite mine boundary, both within and adjacent to existing open pits. Ongoing efforts at Mesquite are focused on Mineral Resource growth at the Brownie, Vista East 2 and Rainbow deposits, as well as the conversion of Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves via metallurgical test work, heap leach optimization studies, and the assessment and design of new leach pads to support mine life extension.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">The Mesquite Mine district lies on the southwest flank of the Chocolate Mountains, in amphibolite grade metamorphic rocks of the upper plate of the Vincent\u2010Chocolate Mountain Thrust. The Mesquite Mine comprises two subparallel, Oligocene\u2010age deposits: Big Chief-Vista and Rainbow. Gold mineralization is hosted in Mesozoic gneisses that are intruded by biotite\/muscovite rich granites. The district is covered by a thin veneer (up to 300 feet) of Tertiary and Quaternary sediments, shed from the south slope of the Chocolate Mountains. Gold mineralization is bound by post\u2010mineral faulting related to the San Andreas fault system.<\/p><div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-container
