Equity Metals has launched its 2025 summer exploration program at the Arlington Gold Property in British Columbia. The fully funded program includes a DCIP geophysical survey, LIDAR survey, surface sampling, and a 3,000-metre core drilling initiative.

The program focuses on the Fresh Pots target, an 800x2000-metre gold anomaly extending north-northeast. Previous sampling yielded impressive results from 2,271 soil samples, with 75 samples showing >100ppb Au and eight samples exceeding 1g/t Au. The target area features a magnetic low and elevated K/Th radiometric signature, identified in a January 2025 survey.

Drilling is scheduled to begin in mid to late-May, targeting Au-Ag-As soil anomalies in the south Fresh Pots area. The company plans additional surface sampling and mapping across multiple targets, including newly staked claims. The exploration work is fully funded for 2025.

Equity Metals ha avviato il programma di esplorazione estiva 2025 presso la proprietà Arlington Gold in British Columbia. Il programma, completamente finanziato, comprende un'indagine geofisica DCIP, un rilievo LIDAR, campionamenti superficiali e una perforazione a carotaggio di 3.000 metri.

Il focus è sul bersaglio Fresh Pots, un'anomalia aurifera di 800x2000 metri che si estende verso nord-nordest. I campionamenti precedenti hanno fornito risultati significativi da 2.271 campioni di suolo, con 75 campioni che superano i 100 ppb di Au e otto campioni che superano 1 g/t di Au. L'area presenta una bassa magnetizzazione e una firma radiometrica K/Th elevata, individuata in un'indagine di gennaio 2025.

Le perforazioni sono previste a partire da metà o fine maggio, con l'obiettivo di indagare le anomalie di suolo Au-Ag-As nell'area sud di Fresh Pots. La società prevede ulteriori campionamenti superficiali e mappature su più bersagli, inclusi nuovi diritti minerari acquisiti. Il lavoro di esplorazione è completamente finanziato per il 2025.

Equity Metals ha iniciado su programa de exploración de verano 2025 en la propiedad Arlington Gold en Columbia Británica. El programa, totalmente financiado, incluye una encuesta geofísica DCIP, un levantamiento LIDAR, muestreos superficiales y una campaña de perforación con núcleo de 3,000 metros.

El programa se centra en el objetivo Fresh Pots, una anomalía de oro de 800x2000 metros que se extiende hacia el norte-noreste. Muestreos previos arrojaron resultados destacados de 2,271 muestras de suelo, con 75 muestras que superan los 100 ppb de Au y ocho muestras que exceden 1 g/t de Au. La zona objetivo presenta un bajo nivel magnético y una firma radiométrica elevada de K/Th, identificada en una encuesta de enero de 2025.

La perforación está programada para comenzar a mediados o finales de mayo, enfocándose en las anomalías de suelo Au-Ag-As en el área sur de Fresh Pots. La compañía planea realizar muestreos y mapeos adicionales en múltiples objetivos, incluyendo concesiones recién adquiridas. El trabajo de exploración está totalmente financiado para 2025.

Equity Metals는 브리티시컬럼비아에 위치한 Arlington Gold 부동산에서 2025년 여름 탐사 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 완전 자금 지원을 받는 이 프로그램에는 DCIP 지구물리 조사, LIDAR 조사, 지표 샘플링, 그리고 3,000미터 코어 시추 작업이 포함되어 있습니다.

프로그램은 북북동 방향으로 확장된 800x2000미터 크기의 금 이상체인 Fresh Pots 타깃에 집중합니다. 이전 샘플링 결과, 2,271개의 토양 샘플 중 75개는 100ppb Au 이상, 8개는 1g/t Au를 초과하는 뛰어난 결과를 보였습니다. 이 타깃 지역은 2025년 1월 조사에서 확인된 자기 저점과 높은 K/Th 방사선 서명이 특징입니다.

시추는 5월 중순에서 말경 시작될 예정이며, 남부 Fresh Pots 지역의 Au-Ag-As 토양 이상체를 목표로 합니다. 회사는 새로 확보한 광산권을 포함한 여러 타깃에서 추가 지표 샘플링과 매핑을 계획하고 있습니다. 탐사 작업은 2025년 전액 자금 지원됩니다.

Le programme se concentre sur la cible Fresh Pots, une anomalie aurifère de 800x2000 mètres s'étendant vers le nord-nord-est. Les échantillonnages précédents ont donné des résultats impressionnants avec 2 271 échantillons de sol, dont 75 présentant plus de 100 ppb d'or et huit dépassant 1 g/t d'or. La zone cible présente une faible magnétisation et une signature radiométrique élevée en K/Th, identifiée lors d'une enquête en janvier 2025.

Le forage est prévu pour débuter à la mi-fin mai, ciblant les anomalies de sol Au-Ag-As dans la partie sud de Fresh Pots. La société prévoit des prélèvements de surface et du cartographie supplémentaires sur plusieurs cibles, y compris des concessions nouvellement revendiquées. Les travaux d'exploration sont entièrement financés pour 2025.

Der Fokus liegt auf dem Fresh Pots Ziel, einer 800x2000 Meter großen Goldanomalie, die nach Nord-Nordost verläuft. Frühere Probenahmen ergaben beeindruckende Ergebnisse aus 2.271 Bodenproben, wobei 75 Proben >100 ppb Au und acht Proben >1 g/t Au aufwiesen. Das Zielgebiet weist ein magnetisches Tief und eine erhöhte K/Th-Radiometriesignatur auf, die in einer Umfrage im Januar 2025 ermittelt wurde.

Die Bohrungen sollen Mitte bis Ende Mai beginnen und richten sich auf Au-Ag-As Bodenanomalien im südlichen Bereich von Fresh Pots. Das Unternehmen plant weitere Oberflächenproben und Kartierungen an mehreren Zielen, einschließlich neu erworbener Claims. Die Explorationsarbeiten sind für 2025 vollständig finanziert.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 30, 2025) - Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) (OTCQB: EQMEF) (FSE: EGSD) ("Equity" or the "Company") reports that it has initiated its 2025 summer exploration program on the Arlington property, southern British Columbia.

The fully funded 2025 exploration program consists of an initial DCIP geophysical survey over the Fresh Pots geochemical anomaly, an airborne LIDAR survey over the entire property, further surface sampling and mapping of specific target areas and a 3,000 metre core drilling program designed to test prominent surface soil and rock anomalies in the south Fresh Pots target.

Exploration crews have mobilized to the property in preparation for a 26 line-kilometre DCIP geophysical survey. The survey is anticipated to take 15 to 20 days to complete and aims to provide sub-surface target definition of strongly pyrite-arsenopyrite-gold-bearing veins and fracture sets identified in surface sampling carried out between 2021 and 2024. 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 (Figure 1). 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).

Drilling, which is anticipated to start in mid to late-May, will initially target broad clusters of strongly anomalous Au-Ag-As soil anomalies in the south Fresh Pots area. Step-outs from the initial targets will be guided by both drill success and results of the IP Survey. Additional surface sampling and mapping towards further drill target definition is planned for the north Fresh Pots, Rona and other target areas on the property and will include several new claims that were staked earlier this year.

VP Exploration Rob Macdonald commented, "The Arlington Property represents a new and exciting early-stage exploration project with tremendous discovery potential. Multiple drill-ready targets exist on the property, and the upcoming DCIP survey should further enhance the sub-surface projections of mineralization identified in earlier soil and rock sampling. Drilling is anticipated to start in three to four weeks time that will test the more advanced targets while further surface mapping and sampling will be employed to upgrade targeting in several other highly prospective areas. The work is fully funded for 2025."
