Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) ("Equity") reports several intersections of high-grade gold and silver in three holes from the Camp and Sveinson target areas on the Silver Queen property, BC, indicating continuity of veins within the two target areas.
Drilling highlights include:
- A 0.7 metre interval grading 13.6g/t Au, 690g/t Ag, 5.9% Cu, 0.1% Pb and 0.2% Zn (30.3g/t AuEq or 2,273g/t AgEq) from drill hole SQ22-063;
- a 0.3 metre interval grading 3g/t Au, 426g/t Ag, 3.7% Cu,0.3% Pb and 1.2% Zn (14.1g/t AuEq or 1,054g/t AgEq) within a 1.8 metre interval averaging 1.8g/t Au, 90g/t Ag, 0.6% Cu, 0.3% Pb and 1.1% Zn (4.4g/t AuEq or 334g/t AgEq) from drill hole SQ22-063; and
- a 0.3 metre interval grading 12.1g/t Au, 46g/t Ag, 0.3% Pb and 2.1% Zn (14.0g/t AuEq or 1,048g/t AgEq) within a 2.8 metre interval averaging 1.7g/t Au, 22g/t Ag, 0.1% Pb and 1.7% Zn (3.1g/t AuEq or 233g/t AgEq) from drill hole SQ22-065.
The drill intercepts are from the first three of thirteen core holes from the Winter '22 program, which tested both the Camp/Sveinson and NG-3 vein systems. The three holes tested the eastern margin of the Camp Vein target where it transitions into the 1km-long the Sveinson Extension, which was drill tested by 12 holes during the Fall of 2021 (assays previously reported, see Figures 1 and 2). Drilling confirmed the lateral projection of several shallow veins (
The Winter '22 program consisted of 13 core holes totaling 4,382 metres, including six holes (2,431m) at the NG-3 target and seven holes (1,931m) on the Camp and Sveinson targets. Assay results are pending and anticipated over the coming 6 to 8 weeks for six NG-3 holes and for the remaining four holes, three which tested the west side of the Camp target and a single hole which is a step-out from a high-grade gold intercept in the Sveinson target.
President Joe Kizis commented, "We have enjoyed nice news flow of high-grade intercepts from our drilling programs since 2020, and we are now in the process of modeling those intercepts from the Camp Vein in preparation for a maiden resource on that target, which will add to the existing 2019 resource on the No. 3 Vein and will support our initial evaluation that additional deposits exist to be discovered on this target-rich property. The Camp Vein resource is expected to be completed in mid-2022."

About Silver Queen Project
The Silver Queen Project is a premier gold-silver property with over 100 years of historic exploration and development and is located adjacent to power, roads and rail with significant mining infrastructure that was developed under previous operators Bradina JV (Bralorne Mines) and Houston Metals Corp. (a Hunt Brothers company). The property contains an historic decline into the No. 3 Vein, camp infrastructure, and a maintained Tailings Facility.
The Silver Queen Property consists of 45 mineral claims, 17 crown grants, and two surface crown grants totalling 18,852ha with no underlying royalties. Mineralization is hosted by a series of epithermal veins distributed over a 6 sq km area. An initial NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate was detailed in a News Release issued on July 16th, 2019 and is hosted by the No. 3 Vein, which is traced by drilling for approximately 1.2km and then to the southeast where it transitions into the NG-3 Vein close to the buried Itsit copper-molybdenum porphyry.
More than 20 different veins have been identified on the property, forming an extensive network of zoned Cretaceous- to Tertiary-age epithermal veins. The property remains largely under explored.
