Equity Metals Initiates Drilling on the Arlington Gold Property, British Columbia
Equity Metals Initiates Drilling on the
Arlington Gold Property, British Columbia
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."

resource has been developed on four of the high-grade veins, with an aggressive expansion drilling
program planned during 2025. Deeper porphyry-copper mineralization has been intersected but has
been only partially delineated. See news release dated January 16, 2022 for a summary of the resource,
