EQUINOX GOLD SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH ORLA MINING

Equinox Gold Corp. shareholders have approved the share issuance resolution at a special meeting of shareholders held this morning in connection with the proposed business combination with Orla Mining Ltd.

Anticipated timeline for completion of the arrangement

Orla securityholders also approved the arrangement at Orla's meeting held earlier today. With approval by Equinox Gold shareholders and Orla securityholders in hand, Orla will seek a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia to approve the arrangement at a hearing expected to be held on or about July 28, 2026. In addition to court approvals, the arrangement is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including both Canadian and Mexican competition authorization, which have both been received, approval of the listing of the Equinox Gold common shares to be issued under the arrangement on the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American Exchange, and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary for an arrangement of this nature. If all conditions are satisfied or waived, the arrangement is expected to close on July 31, 2026.
