Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 30, 2022) -
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:

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 (<150 metres depth) and a deeper intercept approximately 300 metres below surface. Strong gold
and silver values were received from several intercepts reflecting the character of both the Camp Vein target (generally silver-enriched) and
the Sveinson target (generally gold-enriched), indicating a possible gradation between the two styles of mineralization. Veins were
intersected across the full 150-metre width of the target zone with preliminary 3D modeling indicating good continuity between the two
mineralized trends.
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."

Samples were analyzed by FA/AAS for gold and 48 element ICP-MS by MS Analytical, Langley, BC. Silver (>100ppm), copper, lead and zinc (>1%) overlimits assayed by ore grade ICP-ES analysis, High
silver overlimits (>1000g/t Ag) and gold overlimits (>10g/t Au) re-assayed with FA-Grav. Silver >10,000g/t re-assayed by concentrate analysis, where a FA-Grav analysis is performed in triplicate and a
weighed average reported. Composites calculated using a 80g/t AgEq (1g/t AuEq) cut-off and <20% internal dilution, except where noted. Reported intervals are core lengths, true widths undetermined or
estimated. Accuracy of results is tested through the systematic inclusion of QA/QC standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream. AuEq and AgEq were calculated using prices of $1,500/oz Au,
$20/oz Ag, $2.75/lb Cu, $1.00/lb Pb and $1.10/lb Zn. AuEq and AgEq calculations did not account for relative metallurgical recoveries of the metals.
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.
