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 advisor to the Board."
