Equity Metals Announces the Closing of
Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2023) -
Equity Metals Corporation
(
TSXV:
EQTY
) (
OTCQB: EQMEF
) (the "Company" or "Equity Metals") reported today that it has closed its
previously announced flow-through private placement (the "Offering") by issuing a total of 6,263,112 flow-
through units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.13 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of $814,204.56. Each FT
Unit consists of one flow-through common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each
whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share for a period of
3 years at a price of $0.20.
Securities issued pursuant to the Offering include common shares, share purchase warrants and non-
transferable finders' warrants issued as finders' fees, all of which carry a legend restricting trading of the
securities until December 17, 2023.
The proceeds received from the sale of the FT Units will be used for work programs on the Company's
Silver Queen, Au-Ag, exploration property, in British Columbia.
The Company paid finders' fees comprised of an aggregate $44,952.28 cash and 345,787 non-
transferable warrants in connection with the Offering. The Offering and payment of finders' fees is subject
to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
About Silver Queen Project
The Silver Queen project is a premier gold-silver property with over 100 years of historical 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 two historical declines 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.
On December 1, 2022 (NR-12-22), the Company reported an independently estimated, Mineral
Resource Estimate ("MRE") for Silver Queen which increased an earlier MRE, initially reported on July
16th, 2019, by +187% in the Indicated category and by +30% in the Inferred category on a AgEq basis
with approximately 74% of the new MRE classified as Indicated Resources. The Company has
expended C$6.75 million on exploration of the Silver Queen project since 2019 resulting in a very low
discovery cost of $0.15/oz of added AgEq or $11/oz of added AuEq. The MRE remains open for
additional delineation west of the Camp Target and within the Sveinson Target. In addition, there are
several targets that have only been tested by a few drill holes and remain very attractive areas for new
discoveries and MRE increase.
For more information on the recent MRE please refer to the Company's news releases dated December
1, 2022 and January 16, 2023.
