Equity Metals Corporation has initiated drilling operations at its Arlington property in southern British Columbia, marking a significant phase in its 2025 exploration program. The company plans to drill up to 3,000 meters targeting three clusters of Au-Ag-As-in-soil anomalies in the south Fresh Pots area. The fully funded exploration program, which began in January 2025, includes completed airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, Lidar survey, and DCIP geophysical survey. The Fresh Pots target features an extensive 800m x 2000m gold-in-soil anomaly, with 75 samples showing >100ppb Au and eight samples exceeding 1g/t Au. The anomaly is characterized by a magnetic low and elevated K/Th radiometric signature. Additional surface sampling and mapping are planned for the north Fresh Pots, Rona, and other target areas, including newly staked claims.
Equity Metals Corporation ha avviato le operazioni di perforazione nella sua propriet脿 Arlington, situata nel sud della British Columbia, segnando una fase importante del programma di esplorazione 2025. L'azienda prevede di perforare fino a 3.000 metri, concentrandosi su tre gruppi di anomalie di oro, argento e arsenico nel suolo nell'area sud di Fresh Pots. Il programma di esplorazione, completamente finanziato e iniziato a gennaio 2025, include indagini magnetiche e radiometriche aeree completate, un rilievo Lidar e un'indagine geofisica DCIP. L'obiettivo Fresh Pots presenta un'estesa anomalia di oro nel suolo di 800 m x 2000 m, con 75 campioni che mostrano valori superiori a 100 ppb di oro e otto campioni che superano 1 g/t di oro. L'anomalia 猫 caratterizzata da un minimo magnetico e da una firma radiometrica K/Th elevata. Sono previste ulteriori raccolte di campioni e mappature superficiali per le aree nord di Fresh Pots, Rona e altri obiettivi, inclusi nuovi diritti minerari acquisiti.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2025) - Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) ("Equity" or the "Company") reports that drilling has commenced on the Arlington property, southern British Columbia.
Up to 3,000 metres of drilling will target three separate clusters of strongly anomalous Au-Ag-As-in-soil anomalies in the south Fresh Pots area (Figure 1) that have been enhanced by geophysical features identified in a recently completed DCIP geophysical survey. Additional surface sampling and mapping towards further drill target definition is also planned for the north Fresh Pots, Rona and other target areas on the property and will include initial targeting on several new claims that were staked earlier this year. Work will continue through the month of June and into the early part of July.
The drilling is part of a fully funded 2025 exploration program initiated in January 2025, consisting of now-completed property-wide airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysics surveys, a Lidar survey and a DCIP geophysical survey over specific target areas, including the Fresh Pots Au-Ag-As-in-soil anomalies. The Fresh Pots target itself is a broad 800 metre x 2000 metre Au in-soil anomaly that extends in a north-northeast direction through the center of the property and is on trend with the Rona showing. To date, 2,271 soil samples have been collected over the Fresh Pots and Rona targets with 75 samples returning >100ppb Au and eight samples >1 ppm Au (1g/t Au).
The Fresh Pots soil anomaly is further characterized by a prominent magnetic low and an elevated K/Th radiometric signature identified in an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey flown over the entire 5,387ha Arlington property in January 2025 (Figure 2).
VP Exploration Rob Macdonald commented, "Drill target selection for this initial 2025 exploration program is the culmination of several generations of surface sampling, augmented by new airborne and ground geophysical data. Three specific gold-in soil sample clusters have been selected for testing in this first round of drilling on this new and exciting early-stage exploration project, with tremendous discovery potential. Targets continue to be developed as new data is acquired and compiled into the growing database, which will form the basis for further exploration and drilling on the Arlington Project in 2025."
