Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

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”) in Canada, the Mesquite Mine (“Mesquite”) in the United States, La Libertad Mine Complex (“Libertad”) and El Limon Mine Complex (“Limon”) in Nicaragua (together, the “Nicaragua Operations”), and the Aurizona Mine (“Aurizona”), RDM Mine (“RDM”), and Bahia Complex (“Bahia Complex”, comprising the Santa Luz and Fazenda Mines) in Brazil.

The Company owns a 100% interest in the Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”) located in Canada, which delivered its first gold pour on September 14, 2025 and is currently ramping up toward design capacity.

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. While residual leaching is expected to generate gold production through 2026, the suspension of active operations allows the Company to prioritize development activities that are expected to significantly enhance long-term value.

At the Los Filos Mine Complex (“Los Filos”) in Mexico, operations were suspended in April 2025. The asset has since been reclassified as a development project while the Company evaluates long-term potential, including ongoing exploration and engagement related to a two-community development plan.

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 this growth 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 and Valentine in Canada. Following the Calibre Acquisition, Equinox Gold has transitioned to a predominantly North American producer with a lower-cost production base and a stronger balance sheet, and a clear path to one million ounce annual production by 2026.

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED)

Operating Data

Gold ounces sold in Q3 2025 were 38% higher compared to Q3 2024, primarily due to the inclusion of a full quarter of production in 2025 from Nicaragua Operations. The reduction of gold sold at Los Filos was largely offset by increases in production at Mesquite and Greenstone and the inclusion of a full quarter from Pan.

Gold ounces sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 32% higher compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to nine months of production at Greenstone in 2025 and inclusion of a full quarter of production from Nicaragua Operations and Pan, offset partially by a reduction in gold sold at Los Filos.

Financial Data

Revenue was 91% higher in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 due to a 38% increase in the realized gold price per ounce sold and a 38% increase in gold ounces sold. The Company realized $3,397 per ounce sold in Q3 2025, generating $819.0 million in revenue, compared to $2,461 per ounce sold in Q3 2024, generating $428.4 million in revenue.

Revenue was 83% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to a 38% increase in the realized gold price per ounce sold and a 32% increase in gold ounces sold. The Company realized $3,196 per ounce sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, generating $1,721.4 million in revenue, compared to $2,310 per ounce sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, generating $939.1 million in revenue.

Cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold were 17% and 8% lower, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The improvement in cash costs per oz sold is due to the inclusion of Greenstone’s operations which are lower cost than Equinox Gold’s other operations, the change in status of Los Filos in Q2 2025, the contribution of lower cost ounces from Nicaragua Operations following the Calibre Acquisition, and a 40% reduction in cash costs per oz at Aurizona following a continuous full quarter of production in Q3 2025. AISC per oz sold was slightly lower in Q3 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower cash costs per oz sold, offset partially by increased sustaining capital spend at Greenstone in Q3 2025.

Cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold were 8% and 3% lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold are impacted by the same factors as the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 exclude the cash portion of the write-down of heap leach inventories at Los Filos to net realizable value (“NRV”) of $36.8 million recognized in Q1 and Q2 2025. The write-downs were the result of using a long-term gold price to reflect the reclassification of the carrying value of heap leach inventories from current inventories to other long-term assets due to the indefinite suspension of operations on April 1, 2025.

Income from mine operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $280.1 million (Q3 2024 - $101.4 million) and $473.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $133.9 million), respectively. Income from mine operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes income from Greenstone, which was not yet in commercial production during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of $76.6 million and $154.6 million, respectively and also includes a full quarter of contributions from the Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the Calibre Acquisition. Income from mine operations was also higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to the 38% increase in the average realized gold price per ounce sold. Included in income from mine operations is a write-down to NRV of heap leach inventories at Los Filos of $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Net income for Q3 2025 was $85.6 million (Q3 2024 - $0.3 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $33.9 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $311.0 million).

The higher net income in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 is primarily due to higher income from mine operations, partially offset by an increase in finance expense due to the cessation of capitalizing interest at Greenstone following commercial production in November 2024, care and maintenance expense at Los Filos, the change in the fair value of the conversion option on the Calibre convertible notes, which were issued in March 2025 and became exercisable for Equinox Gold common shares following the Calibre Acquisition (“2025 Convertible Notes”) and an increase in general and administration expense primarily due to costs associated with the Calibre Acquisition, including an increase in corporate office personnel, and higher share-based compensation as a result of higher share price.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (CONTINUED)

The lower net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to a decrease in other income, driven by the gain of $579.8 million retrospectively recognized in Q2 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, net of the cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $31.9 million reclassified to net income. The gain on remeasurement was partially offset by a related deferred tax expense of $181.9 million on remeasurement of the Company’s share of assets and liabilities of Greenstone held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values. Net income 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 Q3 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $420.0 million (Q3 2024 - $145.0 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $760.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $255.6 million). In Q3 2025, adjusted net income was $147.4 million (Q3 2024 - adjusted net income $40.5 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $169.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - adjusted net income of $27.5 million).

The increase in adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the impact of Greenstone’s operations in 2025, a full quarter of contributions from Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the Calibre Acquisition and the increase in the average realized gold price.

The increase in adjusted net income in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to higher income from mine operations, partially offset by higher finance expense and care and maintenance expense at Los Filos.

Further details related to Updated 2025 Guidance are included in the Company’s news release dated June 11, 2025, which is available on the Company’s website at www.equinoxgold.com, on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

On February 1, 2025, an executive order was signed by the President of the United States that introduced tariffs on imports from countries including Canada and Mexico. In response, the Canadian government announced retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States. While some tariffs have been postponed, there continues to be uncertainty. The Company believes its revenue structure will be largely unaffected by the tariffs. The Company is reviewing its exposure to the potential tariffs and alternatives to inputs sourced from suppliers that may be subject to the tariffs, if implemented. However, the majority of the Company’s cost structure relates to labour, contractors, energy and royalties in the countries in which it operates, and these items are not expected to be directly affected by any of the tariffs. While there is uncertainty as to whether the tariffs or retaliatory tariffs will continue to be implemented, the quantum of such tariffs, the goods on which they may be applied and the ultimate effect on the Company’s supply chains, the Company will continue to monitor developments and may take steps to limit the impact of any tariffs as may be appropriate in the circumstances. The costs guidance set out above does not factor any potential impact from such tariffs.

Q3 2025 Analysis

Production

Greenstone gold production was 9% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher grade processed. Total material mined was 11% higher, with monthly mined volumes averaging close to 5.6 million tonnes. Due to a combination of mining optimizations and mine sequencing, ore mined volumes increased 25% and grade mined increased 17%, driving a 46% increase in contained gold mined in Q3 2025 compared to Q2 2025. Grade processed was 14% higher due to improved mined grades and recoveries were 1% higher as the result of improvements in process efficiency.

Mining unit costs in the three months ended September 30, 2025 were consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2025 as costs increased in proportion with the increase in tonnes moved.

Processing unit costs for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were 5% higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the impact of the plant being shutdown for eight days in Q3 2025 mainly due to the HPGR (high pressure grinding roll) changeout running 7.5 days in total (compared to three days general shutdown in Q2 2025), which resulted in a 5% decrease in ore tonnes processed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Cash costs per oz sold were 2% lower for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to an increase in gold ounces sold.

AISC per oz sold was 2% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to an increase in sustaining expenditures.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $28.7 million and $62.7 million, respectively, primarily related to TSF spend, machinery and equipment, and infrastructure.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $29.0 million and $71.8 million, respectively, primarily related to fleet leasing costs, costs associated with relocating the provincial power utility electrical substation and the Ontario Provincial Police station, and machinery and equipment.

Exploration and Development

Planned exploration at Greenstone in 2025 includes a 14,000 m core drilling program targeting certain areas of the deposit to improve the Company’s understanding of geology, structural controls on gold mineralization and gold grade distribution. The Company drilled 5,791 m during Q3 2025, bringing the year-to-date total to 8,415 m. Exploration expenditures at Greenstone for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Q3 2025 Analysis

Production

Production from Brazil operations was 8% and 10% higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 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 has 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 and AISC per oz sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were relatively consistent with the same periods in 2024.

Q3 2025 Analysis

Production

Production was 10% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher volume of ore processed in 2025, as July 2024 was a partial month with the plant ramping up after being idle for eight weeks in Q2 2024 as a result of the geotechnical event in March 2024. Production was 13% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to the eight-week shutdown in 2024 which was partially offset by the impact of processing lower grade ore stockpiles during 2025.

Mining unit costs were 4% and 2% lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. This unit cost decrease was primarily due to a higher volume of tonnes moved in 2025 as operations in the Piaba pit resumed and the Tatajuba pit reached full operation. The weakening of the BRL against the USD for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 partially offset an increase in local currency contract mining costs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Processing unit costs were 11% lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, mainly due to the impact in H1 2024 of the plant being idle for eight weeks.

General and administrative unit costs were 18% higher for the three months September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to a higher proportion of shared regional costs charged to Aurizona in 2025 with higher production levels in Q3 2025. General and administrative unit costs were 12% lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher volumes of ore processed, as 2024 had an eight-week shutdown.

Cash costs per oz sold was 11% higher and AISC per oz sold was 14% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to higher volumes processed in Q3 2025.

Cash costs per oz sold and AISC per oz sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were relatively consistent, compared to the same periods in 2024.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $12.9 million and $27.2 million, respectively, primarily related to capitalized stripping. The increase in sustaining capital expenditures in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to more capitalized stripping.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $1.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, primarily related to engineering studies on the portal and decline for underground development and drilling.

Exploration and Development

Exploration core drilling activities at Aurizona in Q3 2025 focused on greenfield and resource definition targets, with 2,250 m completed during the Quarter. High-resolution magnetic drone surveys were also completed across the regional Vila Nova, Monte Alegre, Boa Vista and Touro targets. Exploration expenditures at Aurizona for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Bahia Complex, Bahia, Brazil

The Bahia Complex, located in Bahia State, Brazil, comprises the Fazenda and Santa Luz mines. Fazenda has been in operation since 1984 and is primarily an underground operation complemented with production from several small open pits and uses a CIL processing plant. The mine plan provides for an increased contribution of ore from a larger open pit while underground mining continues. Santa Luz is an open pit mine which uses a RIL process to recover gold from carbonaceous ores. The two mines are in close geographic proximity and share management oversight, maximizing synergies and cost efficiencies.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

Q3 2025 Analysis

Production

Production was 5% higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, with higher tonnes processed and higher recoveries due to the start of mining in the Antas 3 pit, which has lower levels of carbon material, partially offset by lower feed grades. In Q3 2025, Santa Luz achieved its highest quarterly throughput to date, and achieved the highest recovery rates for the past 24 months.

Open pit mining unit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were consistent compared to the same period in 2024 as the impact of higher waste and ore volumes mined in the Quarter was offset by the impact of the BRL weakening against the USD.

Underground mining unit costs were 39% higher in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a 24% decrease in ore mined volumes and higher maintenance spend on the fleet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, underground mining unit costs were 9% higher compared to the same period in 2024 due to the impact of higher maintenance spend, partially offset by increased productivity as a result of additional equipment brought to Fazenda in Q3 2024 and the impact of the weakening of the BRL against the USD.

Processing unit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 10% and 11% lower, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to the weakening of the BRL against the USD, lower consumables spend, and the impact of higher ore tonnes processed.

General and administrative unit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 4% lower compared to the same periods in 2024 due to the weakening of the BRL and the impact of higher ore tonnes processed.

Cash costs per oz sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 9% lower compared to the same periods in 2024, reflecting the benefit of the weakening of the BRL against the USD.

AISC per oz sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 6% and 3% higher, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to higher capital stripping and underground development, higher exploration in the Fazenda underground, partially offset by lower TSF, machinery and equipment spend, and lower cash costs per oz sold.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $15.4 million and $43.9 million, respectively, related primarily to capital stripping, with a higher capital stripping ratio during 2025, underground development and Fazenda underground exploration. These increases were partially offset by lower TSF spend in 2025, following a TSF raise during 2024 and lower machinery and equipment spend.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $3.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively, relate primarily to exploration drilling and underground development.

Exploration and Development

During the Quarter, the Company drilled 22,661 m of core drilling, the majority of which focused on Mineral Reserve replacement in the immediate underground mine area of the Fazenda Mine, bringing the year-to-date total to 66,343 m. Some regional surface exploration was also completed. Exploration expenditures at the Bahia Complex for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $4.3 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

Q3 2025 Analysis

Production

Production was 28% and 19% higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to higher grades in Q3 2025 and timing of gold pours, an increase in ore volumes processed for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and permitting delays in 2024 which limited access to better grade ore.

Mining unit costs were 14% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to a lower capital strip ratio in 2025.

Processing unit costs were 30% and 19% higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to costs associated with the management of dry stack tailings, which commenced in H2 2024.

General and administrative unit costs were 33% and 8% higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to a higher proportion of shared regional costs charged to RDM due to higher production in Q3 2025.

Cash costs per oz sold were 10% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 as the impact of an increase in gold ounces sold was more than offset by the impact of an increase in ore and waste tonnes moved and the cost of tailings haulage to the dry stack tailings facility.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

AISC per oz sold was 19% lower for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower capital spend as 2024 included the purchase of tailings movement equipment. AISC per oz sold was 5% higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher cash costs per oz sold, offset partially by lower sustaining capital expenditures.

Sustaining capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $0.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, primarily related to phase 2 of dry stack TSF construction. The decrease in sustaining capital expenditures in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the purchase of tailings movement equipment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by higher spend on phase 2 of dry stack TSF construction in 2025.

Non-sustaining expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were nil and $5.7 million, respectively, primarily related to capitalized stripping.

Exploration and Development

No exploration drilling occurred at RDM during the Quarter. Exploration drilling is expected to commence in Q4 2025.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Valentine Gold Mine, Canada

The Company acquired a 100% interest in Valentine Gold Mine as part of the Calibre Acquisition. It is a multi-million ounce advanced-stage gold development project located in central Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Valentine is a conventional crush-grind CIL operation and, based on the 2022 feasibility study, is expected to produce between 175,000 and 200,000 ounces of gold annually for the first 12 years of its 14-year reserve life when operating at design capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”).

Schedule and Initial Project Capital Cost

During Q3 2025, construction of Valentine was substantially completed and first gold was poured on September 14, 2025. Ramp-up to nameplate capacity is expected by the end of Q2 2026. At September 30, 2025, the updated project capital cost estimate totaled approximately C$884 million, with the project capital cost spent totaling C$869 million.

Construction and Commissioning Progress and Ramp Up Readiness

With the majority of construction completed at the end of Q2 2025, construction activities transitioned to system and sub-system completion and commissioning in Q3 2025. This included the completion of electrical cable pulls, terminations and fire protection within the electrical and instrumentation system, and pressure testing of small bore and large bore piping and general punch list management within structural, mechanical and piping. Remaining construction activities during the Quarter focused on close-out of the non-critical to first gold and low priority areas. The commissioning team made significant progress during the Quarter, completing the first gold milestone ahead of the updated schedule, furthering construction walkdowns and pre-operating verification testing, and continuing handover procedures to operations. Commissioning activities focused on achieving the first gold milestone, with testing activities on the gold room, adsorption/desorption/recovery (“ADR”), reagent systems, TSF, and utilities completed. Pre-operating verification and loop checks were completed for major circuits including cyanide, elution, carbon regeneration, electrowinning and intensive leach reactor. Subsystem handovers, control system logic optimization, vendor supported water runs and maintenance were done in parallel to achieve the first gold milestone and transition to operations.

Operations Readiness

During Q3 2025, significant operational milestones were achieved at Valentine, with first ore fed through the process plant in August and first gold pour shortly thereafter in September. Mining activity continued to steadily increase throughout the Quarter, with 5,434 kt mined across the Leprechaun and Berry deposits, of which 445 kt were ore. In addition, stockpiling from the Leprechaun pit continued with additions to low, medium and high-grade stockpiles, totaling 1,087 kt at the end of the Quarter. Total ore processed during the end of the Quarter was 136 kt, at an average grade of 0.77 g/t and recovery of 85.7%. A total of 609 oz were produced, with the related sales occurring subsequent to the end of the Quarter. RC ore control drilling continued at the Marathon, Leprechaun and Berry pits as part of normal mining activities. TSF phase 3 construction progressed during the Quarter, with all foundation liner completed ahead of schedule and continued waste rock supplied by the mining fleet.

Phase 2 Expansion

Technical studies for the phase 2 expansion, which aims to increase process plant throughput to 5.0 million tpa, continue to progress.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (CONTINUED)

Castle Mountain Expansion, California, USA

In March 2021, the Company announced the results of the feasibility study for expanded operations at Castle Mountain that is expected to increase production to an average of 218,000 ounces per year for 14 years followed by leach pad residual leaching to recover additional gold (the “Castle Expansion”), for total expected production of approximately 3.2 million ounces of gold.

While the Castle Expansion is expected to operate within the existing approved mine boundary, the changes to previously analyzed effects, such as increased land disturbance within the mine boundary and increased water use, require modification to the Company’s approved Mine and Reclamation Plan (“Plan”) for the project. The Plan amendment application was submitted to the lead agencies (San Bernardino County and U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”)) in March 2022. The Company received the BLM’s Plan completeness determination in Q1 2024. During Q2 2024, the project lead agencies and Equinox Gold awarded the project management for permitting and environmental analysis to SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA). Later in 2024, the project lead agencies determined they must complete an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) / Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) to analyze the potential environmental effects of the Castle Expansion and in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), respectively.

2025 Update and Outlook

The Company continues to advance optimization work on the Castle Expansion. During Q1 2025, two separate Memoranda of Understanding agreements to prepare the joint EIS/EIR were signed by the Company, the project lead agencies, and the contracted EIS/EIR manager, SWCA. The Company anticipates the EIS/EIR stage of formal environmental analysis to occur throughout 2025 and 2026. In June 2025, the Castle 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. Based on the permitting timeline posted to the FAST-41 project dashboard on August 8, 2025, the federal permitting process is expected to be completed in December 2026.

Los Filos Expansion, Guerrero, Mexico

On October 19, 2022, the Company released the results of an updated feasibility study for an expansion with expected annual average production of 280,000 ounces of gold per year over a 13 year mine life by developing the Bermejal underground deposit and constructing a 10,000 tpd CIL processing plant that would process higher-grade ore and operate concurrently with the existing heap leach facilities.

2025 Update and Outlook

On April 1, 2025, the Company announced the indefinite suspension of operations at Los Filos due to the expiration of the land access agreement with the Carrizalillo community on March 31, 2025, one of the three Los Filos host communities. While the economic and production estimates outlined in the feasibility study were predicated on construction of the CIL plant commencing in 2023 on Carrizalillo land, the community has not signed a new land access agreement with the Company which would allow the Company to proceed with the Los Filos expansion. 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, starting with an exploration program in Q3 and Q4 2025, 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS (CONTINUED)

Aurizona Expansion, Brazil

The Company sees potential to extend the Aurizona mine life and increase annual production through development of a new underground mine and several satellite open pit deposits. The underground mine would operate concurrently with the open pits.

2025 Update and Outlook

The Company continues to advance engineering studies and project planning to initiate an underground mine below the Piaba pit. The focus is on optimizing the ventilation and de-watering systems, access for the ore deposit drilling campaign, and pre-construction planning for portals and underground exploration declines. In preparation for the construction of the exploration decline, the slopes above the portal have been reinforced and the pushback in the mine region completed. The construction of the portal and the exploration ramp is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025. To meet the additional power requirements of underground operations, a contract was signed in December 2024 to proceed with repowering of the existing 69 kilovolt power transmission line, which will increase the available power to 18 megawatts (“MW”) by Q2 2026, and also a new power line is expected to be constructed starting in Q3 2026 that will provide additional power totaling 21 MW by January 2028.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Health & Safety

Equinox Gold recorded five lost-time injuries during the Quarter. The Company’s LTIFR was 0.61 per million hours worked for both the Quarter and for the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2025. The Company’s TRIFR, which is a measure of all injuries that require the attention of medically trained personnel, was 1.83 for the Quarter per million hours worked and 1.71 per million hours worked for the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2025, both below the Company’s 2025 TRIFR target of 2.85 per million hours worked, reflecting continued progress in safety performance.

Environment

The Company’s SEIFR was 0.00 per million hours worked for the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2025, compared to the target of 1.20 per million hours worked for calendar year 2025. During Q3 2025, there were no significant environmental incidents as defined by the Company’s environmental standards.

SUSTAINABILITY

Community Engagement and Development

During the Quarter, the Company continued to implement community investment and engagement programs across all operating regions, focusing on health and safety, education, infrastructure, and social development.

In Canada, the Company supported local communities through sponsorships of organizations and events ranging from health care to sports such as the 2025 Canada Summer Games which took place in August 2025, promoted public safety around mining, engaged with Indigenous groups, and advanced diversity and inclusion initiatives through awareness campaigns and workshops.

At Mesquite Mine in the United States, engagement focused on ongoing consultation with traditional tribes in the area, support for exploration activities, and continuing to build on strong community support through community participation in and contributions to regional education, economic and cultural programs.

At Los Filos in Mexico, the Company launched agricultural and social projects, expanded environmental monitoring, provided technical assistance to farmers, and opened a new Community Liaison Office, while maintaining dialogue with local communities about land use agreements and future mine development.

In Nicaragua, initiatives included road safety education, support for infrastructure, agriculture, health and education programs, and collaborative projects with local authorities to improve water systems and roads.

Across Brazilian operations, the Company prioritized community engagement, education, infrastructure, and social development through partnerships with local governments, support for schools and community events, health and safety initiatives and entrepreneurship programs to drive local economic development.

SUSTAINABILITY (CONTINUED)

Sustainability Reporting

During the Quarter, Equinox Gold published its Sustainability Report, available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, outlining environmental, social, and governance performance. In September 2025, a Sustainability Overview booklet highlighting key metrics for the Company was also released. Both reports align with Global Reporting Initiative and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board frameworks, with supporting indexes and data tables available online.

The Company has initiated preparations for its 2025 sustainability data collection campaign and completed its submission of the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment.

CORPORATE

Sale of Nevada Assets

On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Minera Alamos to sell its 100% interest in the Nevada Assets. The Nevada Assets Sale closed on October 1, 2025. 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.

On closing of the Nevada Assets Sale, the Company received the following consideration of $126.2 million, comprised of:

•$88.4 million in cash;

•$8.6 million in a 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.

The fair value of the Minera Alamos common shares received of $29.2 million was determined based on Minera Alamos’ quoted common share price of C$0.42 ($0.30) per share on the closing date of the Nevada Assets Sale. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the cash consideration is subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment.

At September 30, 2025, the Nevada Assets were classified as held for sale.

Credit Facility

On July 31, 2025, the Company amended the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan (collectively referred to as 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. Under the amended agreement, quarterly repayments of the Term Loan will commence on July 31, 2026 equal to 7.5% of the then outstanding principal amount, with the remaining outstanding principal payable at maturity. The limit under the accordion feature increased 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. 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.

The amendment to the Credit Facility was accounted for as a non-substantial modification. On modification, the Company recognized a modification gain of $13.0 million in other expense to reflect the adjusted amortized cost of the Credit Facility.

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net income for Q3 2025 was $85.6 million (Q3 2024 - $0.3 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $33.9 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $311.0 million).

The higher net income in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 is primarily due to the ramp up of Greenstone’s operations following reaching commercial production in November 2024, the contribution from the Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the close of the Calibre Transaction in June 2025, and higher realized gold price.

The lower net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 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 Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 and favourable changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts.

Selected financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Revenue

Revenue for Q3 2025 was $819.0 million (Q3 2024 - $428.4 million) on sales of 239,311 ounces of gold (Q3 2024 - 173,973 ounces). Revenue increased by 91% in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024 primarily due to a 38% increase in the average realized gold price per ounce sold and a 38% increase in gold ounces sold.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1,721.4 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $939.1 million) on sales of 536,169 ounces of gold (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - 405,901 ounces). Revenue increased by 83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to a 38% increase in the average realized gold price per ounce sold and a 32% increase in gold ounces sold.

Gold ounces sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were higher compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increased contribution of 71,435 gold ounces sold from Nicaragua Operations following the Calibre Acquisition, higher production at Greenstone as its ramp up continues after it had its first gold pour on May 22, 2024, higher production at Mesquite with higher recoverable ounces placed in Q2 2025 and Q3 2025 from the Ginger Pit, offset partially by a reduction in Los Filos ounces which was not in operation in Q3 2025.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

FINANCIAL RESULTS (CONTINUED)

Operating Expense

Operating expense in Q3 2025 was $371.9 million (Q3 2024 - $268.3 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $894.2 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $656.2 million). Operating expense in Q3 2025 increased 39% compared to Q3 2024 primarily due to additions related to Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the Calibre Acquisition, Greenstone following reaching commercial production in late 2024 and higher operating expense at Mesquite driven by an increase in production, as described above, offset partially by lower operating expense at Los Filos which was not in operation in Q3 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, operating costs increased by 36% primarily due to additions related to Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the Calibre Acquisition and also due to the impact of Greenstone reaching commercial production in late 2024.

Depreciation and Depletion

Depreciation and depletion in Q3 2025 was $167.0 million (Q3 2024 - $58.7 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $353.6 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $149.0 million). The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the contribution of depreciation and depletion related to Nicaragua Operations and Pan following the Calibre Acquisition and Greenstone after reaching commercial production in late 2024.

Care and Maintenance Expense

Care and maintenance expense in Q3 2025 was $27.7 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $78.8 million, primarily related to the impact of the suspension of operations and development activities at Los Filos as layoffs and activities related to preparations for suspension commenced in January 2025 and continued once the suspension of operations was announced on April 1, 2025.

General and Administration

General and administration expense in Q3 2025 was $35.6 million (Q3 2024 - $13.4 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $78.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $40.2 million). The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to costs associated with the Calibre Acquisition, including an increase in corporate office personnel, and higher share-based compensation as a result of higher share price.

Finance Expense

Finance expense in Q3 2025 was $50.9 million (Q3 2024 - $19.7 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $144.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $57.8 million). The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the cessation of capitalizing interest at Greenstone following commercial production in November 2024.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense for Q3 2025 was $42.5 million (Q3 2024 - other expense of $29.6 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was other expense of $68.3 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - other income of $520.6 million. The following table summarizes the significant components of other income (expense):

			Three months ended						Nine months ended

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

FINANCIAL RESULTS (CONTINUED)

The change in fair value of foreign exchange contracts for Q3 2025 was a gain of $7.4 million (Q3 2024 - gain of $3.6 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a gain of $69.3 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - loss of $19.9 million). The gains recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily due to the impact of strengthening of the BRL, MXP and CAD relative to the USD compared to the same periods in 2024. The loss recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to the impact of the weakening of the BRL, MXP and CAD relative to the USD compared to the same period in 2023.

The change in fair value of gold contracts for Q3 2025 was a loss of $23.4 million (Q3 2024 - loss of $25.2 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of $67.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - loss of $45.4 million). The losses recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 increases 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 Q3 2025 was a loss of $16.4 million (Q3 2024 - loss of $9.9 million). The loss in Q3 2025 was higher than Q3 2024 due to the impact of a larger increase in the average forward gold price in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024.

The change in the fair value of Greenstone Contingent Consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was a loss of $37.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - loss of $22.7 million). The loss in the nine months ended September 30, 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 Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024.

The gain on modification of debt for Q3 2025 relates to the modification of the Credit Facility. Refer to the Corporate section of this document for details of the amendment.

Income Tax Expense

In Q3 2025, the Company recognized a tax expense of $29.4 million (Q3 2024 - $36.5 million) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a tax expense of $65.5 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $242.9 million).

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to the profitable operations in Brazil and Nicaragua. Additionally, the tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes an accrual related to an audit adjustment in Mexico. These expenses were partially offset by the tax recovery driven by foreign exchange in connection with the strengthening of BRL and MXN, and the impact from the amortization of fair value adjustments on the mining properties and inventory acquired through the Calibre Acquisition.                                         

                            

The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was mainly driven by the remeasurement of the Company’s share of Greenstone’s assets and liabilities held immediately before the business combination to their acquisition-date fair values. Additional contributing factors include profitable operations in Brazil and Mexico, as well as the weakening of the BRL and MXN, which affected the tax bases denominated in those currencies.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2025, the Company had financial, operating, and capital commitments of $942.3 million that require settlement within the next 12 months. At September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $348.5 million. During the Quarter, 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. Under the amended agreement, quarterly repayments of the Term Loan will commence on July 31, 2026 equal to 7.5% of the then outstanding principal amount, with the remaining outstanding principal payable at maturity. The limit under the accordion feature was increased 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. At September 30, 2025, $169.6 million of the $850 million Revolving Facility remained undrawn. On October 31, 2025, the Company repaid $25.0 million of the outstanding principal under the Revolving Facility. Management believes that 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.

If Equinox Gold’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance indebtedness, including indebtedness under its Revolving Facility. The Company may not be able to implement any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternatives may not allow Equinox Gold to meet its scheduled debt service obligations.

Working Capital

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2025 were $348.5 million (December 31, 2024 - $239.3 million) and working capital was $88.6 million (December 31, 2024 - working capital $95.0 million). The significant components of working capital are described below.

Current inventories at September 30, 2025 were $541.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $417.5 million). The increase was mainly due to current inventories recognized as a result of the Calibre Acquisition, including the related fair value adjustment on inventory, partially offset by the impact of 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.

Trade and other receivables at September 30, 2025 were $133.9 million (December 31, 2024 - $70.0 million). The following table summarizes the significant components of trade and other receivables:

						September 30, 2025			December 31, 2024

Current liabilities were $1,204.5 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $689.1 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to current liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition with Calibre of $380.9 million. These current liabilities assumed on the acquisition with Calibre include: accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $146.0 million, the current portion of loans and borrowings of $68.5 million relating to the current portion of the Sprott Loan and 2025 Convertible Notes, deferred revenue of $40.9 million relating to a gold prepay arrangement and income tax payable of $78.0 million, and current lease liabilities of approximately $4.3 million. The overall increase was also impacted by an increase in the current portion of the reclamation obligation at Los Filos following the indefinite suspension of operations and reclassifications from non-current deferred revenue for deliveries in 2025 related to the gold sale and prepay arrangements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $240.8 million and $428.2 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $139.5 million and $124.3 million). The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to higher income from mine operations, primarily due to the contribution from Greenstone, a full quarter of contribution from the Nicaragua Operations and higher realized gold prices.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $234.6 million (three months ended September 30, 2024 - cash used - $125.9 million). The increase in cash used in investing activities compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in expenditures on mineral properties, plant and equipment related to capital spending for the construction of the Valentine Mine during Q3 2025.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $271.1 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $980.1 million). The decrease in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to $704.1 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 construction of the Valentine Mine, proceeds received of $48.0 million related to the sale of the Company’s remaining investment in i-80 Gold in Q2 2024, and $40.0 million invested in Calibre convertible notes in Q1 2025.

Financing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 used cash of $53.0 million and $39.9 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - used cash of $13.7 million and provided cash of $833.8 million, respectively). The increase in cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to proceeds received from Greenstone’s equipment financing facility in 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities is also 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 and net proceeds received from the issuance of shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $335.6 million. These decreases were offset partially by the impact of draws of $85.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, on the Company’s revolving facility.

Corporate Investments

At September 30, 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

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

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has 784,776,377 shares issued and outstanding, 8,330,456 shares issuable under stock options and 4,885,789 shares issuable under restricted share units. The Company also has 31,528,069 shares potentially issuable on conversion of Convertible Notes and 4,278,060 shares issuable under share purchase warrants. The fully diluted outstanding share count at the date of this MD&A is 833,798,751.

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

(2)Amounts represent undiscounted future cash flows.

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 lawsuits, and legal and other actions with outside counsel to assess the likelihood that the Company will ultimately incur a material cash outflow to settle a claim. To the extent management believes it is probable that a cash outflow will be incurred to settle a claim, a provision for the estimated settlement amount is recognized. Liabilities relating to uncertain tax treatments are recognized as part of income tax liabilities. At September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a provision of $10.9 million (December 31, 2024 – $6.4 million) for legal, environmental and other matters which is included in other non-current liabilities.

Tax

The Company’s Nicaraguan subsidiaries have previously credited paid mining taxes against income taxes based on its interpretation of relevant tax legislation. The Nicaraguan tax authority has advised that it would not apply mining taxes paid by such subsidiaries for the years 2019 to 2024 against income taxes for these years. As at September 30, 2025, a total amount of $38.4 million, which includes $11.3 million of interest and penalties, is being claimed by the tax authority. 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 in respect of this matter as at the date of the Calibre Acquisition was included as part of the liabilities assumed by the Company. The Company can take legal recourse to seek a remedy or engage in settlement discussions with the tax authority. Any change in the probable amount of cash flow required to settle the claim will be recognized as an adjustment to the provision in the period in which the change occurs.

The Company sold the Mercedes Mine to Bear Creek in 2022 and the agreement governing the sale of the Mercedes Mine included tax indemnity provisions. The Mexican tax authority is currently auditing the Mercedes Mine for the 2016 income tax year. As a final assessment has not been issued to Bear Creek by the Mexican tax authority, the Company determined it did not have a present obligation under the tax indemnity at September 30, 2025. Accordingly, no amount has been recognized as a provision in relation to this matter at September 30, 2025. The amount and timing of any final assessment in the audit is uncertain and may be appealed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ( CONTINUED)

The Company is subject to a tax audit by the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (“SAT”) in Mexico for the 2017 tax year for Los Filos. The primary matter under review relates to a $206.0 million deduction claimed for inventory impairment. The amount and timing of an assessment remain uncertain and could be material to the Company’s financial position. In the event of an unfavourable assessment, the Company intends to vigorously pursue all available administrative appeals and, if necessary, judicial remedies, which could extend the resolution process over several years. As the likelihood that the Company will incur a cash outflow in respect of this matter is not considered probable at this time, no amount has been recognized as a provision in relation to this matter at September 30, 2025.

Environmental

A historic rain event caused widespread flooding in the Aurizona region in March 2021 and a freshwater pond on the Aurizona site overflowed. The tailings facility and other infrastructure at the Aurizona site remained operational. Public civil actions have been filed against the Company in the State and Federal courts claiming various damages because of the rain event, and criminal proceedings have been filed against the Company by the Federal public prosecutor. The Company and its advisors believe the public civil actions and criminal proceedings are without merit and it is not probable that a cash outflow for these matters will occur. Accordingly, no amount has been recognized in relation to the public civil actions and criminal proceedings.

The above matters could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial performance, cash flows and results of operations if they are not resolved favorably.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s related parties include its subsidiaries and key management personnel. The Company’s key management personnel consists of executive and non-executive directors and members of executive management. There were no significant related party transactions during Q3 2025.

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, net of non-recurring items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of the Company, and are net of silver revenue. Cash costs are divided by ounces sold to arrive at cash costs per oz sold. In calculating cash costs, the Company deducts silver revenue 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 an operating 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:

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:

NON-IFRS MEASURES (CONTINUED)

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 warrants, foreign exchange contracts and gold contracts; unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and the amortization of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory. 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.

Commencing Q3 2025, the Company’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA has been adjusted to exclude the impact of amortization of fair value adjustments on inventory acquired in a business combination as the Company does not believe these amounts are reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. The calculation for Adjusted EBITDA for comparative periods have been adjusted to conform with the current methodology and are different from the measures previously reported.

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

AISC Contribution Margin

NON-IFRS MEASURES (CONTINUED)

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 warrants, foreign exchange contracts and gold contracts, unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and the amortization of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory. 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.

Commencing Q3 2025, the Company’s calculation of adjusted net income has been adjusted to exclude the impact of amortization of fair value adjustments on inventory acquired in a business combination as the Company does not believe these amounts are reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. The calculation for adjusted net income for comparative periods have been adjusted to conform with the current methodology and are different from the measures previously reported. The following table provides the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, as adjusted and calculated by the Company:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

NON-IFRS MEASURES (CONTINUED)

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.

$’s in millions			September 30, 2025			June 30, 2025			September 30, 2024
Current portion of loans and borrowings			$	144.3		$	220.3		$	273.8
Non-current portion of loans and borrowings			1,482.4			1,560.0			$	1,208.7
Total debt			1,626.7			1,780.3			$	1,482.5
Less: Cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted)			(348.5)			(406.7)			$	(167.8)
Net debt			$	1,278.2		$	1,373.7		$	1,314.7

ACCOUNTING MATTERS

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 annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Except as disclosed in note 2(d) of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months September 30, 2025, the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In preparing the Company’s condensed 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 and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant effect are disclosed in note 4 of the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025

 

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. 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 purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. 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 actions of one individual, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

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 September 30, 2025, the Company has excluded the internal controls of Calibre’s entities from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended September 30, 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.
