EQUINOX GOLD ANNOUNCES RESULTS FROM ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Equinox Gold Corp. shareholders approved all matters voted on at the annual general meeting held earlier today, including the election of management's director nominees, the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company's independent auditor and acceptance of the company's approach to executive compensation.

Ross Beaty, chair of Equinox Gold's board of directors, commented: "We appreciate shareholders' ongoing support of Equinox Gold and our strategic vision of becoming the premier Americas' gold producer. Thank you to the shareholders who did their own due diligence and voted for Dr. Sally Eyre as one of our directors despite withhold recommendations due to a perceived lack of gender diversity on our board. Currently, two of our eight directors are female, and the company is actively recruiting for an additional female director, who will bring new skills and insight to our board.

"I would also like to thank General Wesley Clark for his service to Equinox Gold as a director since early 2020 and look forward to his ongoing contributions as a special adviser to the board."

Each of the matters voted on at the meeting is described in detail in the company's management information circular dated March 20, 2023, which is available on the company's website. A total of 181,964,557 common shares were represented at the meeting, being 58.2 per cent of the company's issued and outstanding common shares.
