1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Equinox Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Equinox Gold”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on March 23, 2007. Equinox Gold’s primary listing is on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada where its common shares trade under the symbol “EQX”. The Company’s shares also trade on the NYSE American Stock Exchange in the United States under the symbol “EQX”. The Company's corporate office is at Suite 1501, 700 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1G8.
Equinox Gold is a mining company engaged in the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, with a focus on gold.
All of the Company’s principal properties are located in the Americas. The Company’s principal properties and material subsidiaries are wholly owned except for Greenstone Gold Mines LP, which is a joint operation that owns the Greenstone development project (“Greenstone”) in which the Company has a 60% interest.
On April 21, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Mercedes Mine ("Mercedes"), the assets and liabilities of which were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (note 4).
On April 7, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Premier Gold Mines Limited ("Premier") ("the Premier Acquisition") which included the acquisition of a 50% interest in Greenstone and a 100% interest Mercedes ("Mercedes") in Mexico. On April 16, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 10% interest in Greenstone. The results of operations of Premier and the additional 10% interest in Greenstone are included in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
2.    BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements prepared using International Financial Standards ("IFRS") and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company's audited consolidated interim financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 3, 2022.
(b)Amended IFRS standard not yet effective
In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”). The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in IAS 12, relating to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences such as leases and reclamation and closure cost provisions. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

Other liabilities(2,730)(2,530)
(82,476)(85,745)
Net assets held for sale$141,702 $121,793 
The derivative liabilities relate to a gold prepay and silver stream arrangement with a third party (the “Stream Arrangement”) which the Company assumed when it acquired Premier on April 7, 2021. Under the terms of the Stream Arrangement, the Company is required to deliver 1,000 ounces of gold quarterly, subject to adjustment based on the market price of gold, until the Company has delivered a total of 9,000 ounces. In addition, the Company is required to deliver 100% of the silver production from Mercedes until the delivery of 3.75 million ounces, and 30% of silver production thereafter at a price equal to 20% of the prevailing silver price at the time of delivery. The Company is required to deliver a minimum of 300,000 ounces of silver in each calendar year until 2.1 million ounces of silver in aggregate have been delivered. As silver production from Mercedes may not be sufficient to satisfy the obligation and the Company may be required to purchase silver on the open market or settle the obligation in cash, the Stream Arrangement was accounted for as a derivative financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of the Stream Arrangement is determined based on the net present value of the expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and risks associated with the liability.
As part of the Transaction, Bear Creek will assume the outstanding obligation under the Stream Arrangement. At March 31, 2022, the Company has delivered 900 ounces of gold and 215,566 ounces of silver towards the Stream Arrangement.
The changes in the carrying amount of the Stream Arrangement derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

(iii)Solaris warrant liability
In connection with the sale of the Company's partial interest in Solaris in April 2021, the Company granted share purchase warrants to the buyer, exercisable into five million common shares of Solaris held by the Company at a price of C$10.00. The warrants are accounted for as current derivative financial liabilities measured at FVTPL with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense. The fair values of the Solaris warrant liability at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average inputs:

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $18.3 million (three months ended March 31, 2021 – nil) on revaluation of the Solaris warrant liability in other income. The outstanding warrants were all exercised on April 20, 2022. Equinox received $40.1 million and (C$50 million) on exercise of the warrants.
(iv)Contingent consideration - Greenstone
As part of the consideration for the Company’s acquisition of an additional 10% interest in Greenstone in April 2021, the Company assumed contingent payment obligations. The obligation to deliver approximately 2,200 ounces of refined gold, the cash equivalent value of such refined gold, or a combination thereof, after each production milestone of 250,000 ounces, 500,000 ounces and 700,000 ounces from Greenstone has been accounted for as a derivative financial liability measured at FVTPL. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based on the net present value of the projected cash outflows associated with the contingent payments at the milestone dates using a market-based discount rate that reflects the risk associated with the delivery of the contingent consideration.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $1.0 million (three months ended March 31, 2021 – nil) on revaluation of the derivative liability in other expense.

(a)Share issuances
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued 1.9 million common shares on exercise of warrants and stock options and settlement of RSUs and pRSUs (2021 – 0.5 million). The average exercise price of warrants and stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were C$10.42 and C$9.90, respectively (2021 – C$6.59 and C$6.07, respectively).
(b)Share-based compensation plans
(i)Restricted share units ("RSUs") and restricted share units with performance-based vesting conditions ("pRSUs")
Equity-settled RSUs and pRSUs
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted 0.3 million equity-settled RSUs and 0.3 million pRSUs to directors, officers and employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.24. The RSUs granted vest over a period of 3 years. The pRSUs granted are subject to a multiplier of 0% to 200% based on the Company's total shareholder return as compared to the S&P Global Gold Index over a three-year comparison period.
Share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs and pRSUs, based on the grant date fair value, is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity (within reserves), with the cumulative amount recognized adjusted to reflect the number of RSUs and pRSUs expected to vest at each reporting date.
Cash-settled RSUs and pRSUs
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted 0.4 million cash-settled RSUs and 0.1 million pRSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.24. The RSUs granted vest over a period of 3 years. The pRSUs granted are subject to a multiplier of 0% to 200% based on the Company's total shareholder return as compared to the S&P Global Gold Index over a three-year comparison period.
The fair values of the cash-settled RSUs and pRSUs are recognized as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to liabilities. The liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, based on the current quoted market price of the Company's common shares and the number of RSU's and pRSU's expected to vest, with any changes in fair value recognized in share-based compensation in net income or loss.

16.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy categorizes inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into the following three levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly, such as prices, or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 unobservable inputs for which market data are not available.
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
The fair values of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and the levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure the fair values are categorized are as follows:

(ii)The fair values of derivative assets and certain of its derivative liabilities are measured using Level 2 inputs. The fair values of the Company's investments in warrants, share purchase warrants and Solaris warrant liability are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that uses a combination of quoted market prices and market-derived inputs such as expected volatility. The fair values of the Company's gold collar and forward contracts are based on forward metal prices, and the fair values of the Company's foreign currency contracts are based on forward foreign exchange rates.
(iii)The fair value of the contingent consideration derivative liability relating to Greenstone is calculated as the present value of projected future cash flows using a market-interest rate that reflects the risk associated with the delivery of the contingent consideration. The projected cash flows are affected by assumptions related to the achievement of production milestones.

17.    CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER RISKS
At March 31, 2022, the Company had the following outstanding matters:
(a)Legal
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and legal actions for alleged fines, labour related and other matters in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Management regularly reviews these lawsuits and legal 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. At March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a provision of $15.0 million (December 31, 2021 – $11.6 million) for legal matters which is included in other non-current liabilities.
(b)Tax
The Company is contesting federal income and municipal VAT assessments in Brazil. Brazilian courts often require a taxpayer to post cash or a guarantee for the disputed amount before hearing a case. It can take up to five years to complete an appeals process and receive a final verdict. At March 31, 2022, the Company recognized restricted cash of $6.0 million (December 31, 2021 – $4.6 million) in relation to insurance bonds for tax assessments in the appeals process. The Company may be required to post additional security in the future, by way of cash, insurance bonds or equipment pledges, with respect to certain federal income and municipal tax assessments being contested, the amounts and timing of which are uncertain. The Company and its advisor believe the federal income and municipal tax assessments under appeal are wholly without merit and it is not probable that a cash outflow will occur. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized with respect to these matters.

17.    CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER RISKS (CONTINUED)
(c)Environmental
A historic rain event caused widespread flooding in the Aurizona region in late March 2021 and a fresh water pond on the Aurizona site overflowed during the rain event. The tailings facility and other infrastructure at the Aurizona site remained operational. The Company received notices from the local state government of environmental infractions related to turbidity in the local water supply at Aurizona with associated fines at March 31, 2022 totaling $10.7 million (December 31, 2021 – $9.2 million). In addition to the fines, pubic civil actions have been filed against the Company in the State and Federal courts claiming various damages as a result of the rain event. The Company and its advisors believe the fines and public civil actions are without merit and it is not probable that a cash outflow will occur. Accordingly, no amount has been recognized in relation to the fines.
(d)COVID-19
In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The pandemic and efforts to contain it have significantly impacted the global economy, including commodity prices, and disrupted global supply chains and capital markets. The Company has implemented preventative measures at each of its sites and corporate office in collaboration with the Company's employees, contractors, host communities and governments to limit the exposure to and spread of COVID-19.
While the Company's operations continue to experience some effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been no government-mandated shut downs since the second quarter of 2020 and the Company has not experienced any material sales or supply chain disruptions. To date, the effects of COVID-19 on the Company have included mine standby costs incurred during the temporary suspension of operations during the second quarter of 2020 and the subsequent ramp up of operations, incremental costs related to increased health and safety protocols and other COVID-19 related protocols and workforce participation. Additionally, in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, operations have experienced higher inflation on material inputs due to COVID-19 driven market conditions.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve in 2022, the magnitude of its effects on the economy, and on the Company's operating plan, financial and operational performance is uncertain. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future results and cash flows and result in write-downs of its non-current assets.
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.
