Equity Metals Corporation (TSX.V: EQTY) ('Equity') reports High-grade Silver drill intercepts from a 125-metre-long central segment of the Camp Vein target on the Silver Queen project, B.C.

The intercepts are located to the east of previously reported high-grade silver results in drill holes SQ21-032 to -036, confirming continuity of mineralization down dip and along strike in four of the modeled vein zones. Mineralization is also open and untested to the west and projects eastward into previously identified vein intercepts and farther east into the Sveinson Vein target.

New highlight intercepts include: In drill hole SQ21-049: a 0.3 metre interval grading 3,235g/t Ag, 0.6% Pb and 2.3% Zn (3,349g/t AgEq) within a 1.3 metre interval averaging 853g/t Ag, 0.2% Pb and 0.8% Zn (900g/t AgEq); In drill hole SQ21-040: a 0.9 metre interval grading 1,391g/t Ag, 0.15g/t Cu, 0.1% Pb and 0.6% Zn (1,440g/t AgEq) within a 4.5 metre interval averaging 581g/t Ag, 0.5% Pb and 1.5% Zn (663g/t AgEq) and In drill hole SQ21-041: a 2.7 metre interval averaging 118g/t Ag, 0.4% Pb and 2.9% Zn (268g/t AgEq).

Intercepts in drill hole SQ21-049 have established continuity in three of the modelled veins down-dip and adjacent to drill holes SQ21-033 (previously reported 2.1m averaging 537g/t AgEq) and SQ21-034 (previously reported 3.7m averaging 1148g/t AgEq), while drill hole SQ21-040 is a deeper step-out, approximately 50 metres to the east of SQ21-049, and helps define continuity of several veins to up to 165 metres below surface.

A total of 63 drill holes for 19,645 metres in five successive phases of exploration drilling starting in late 2020 has now been completed by Equity Metals on the Silver Queen property. Five separate target areas have been tested and thick intervals of high-grade gold, silver and base-metal mineralization have been identified in each of the Camp, Sveinson Extension, No. 3, and NG-3 Vein systems. Drilling is scheduled to begin again in mid-January, focusing initially on the NG-3 target. Detailed drilling, including the intercepts reported here, will be utilized in developing the Company's maiden resource on the Camp Vein target, expected in Q2 of 2022.

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. Most of the existing resource is hosted by the No. 3 Vein, which is traced by drilling for approximately 1.2km and to the southeast transitions into the NG-3 Vein close to the buried Itsit copper-molybdenum porphyry.

An initial NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate was detailed in a News Release issued on July 16th, 2019, and using a CDN$100 NSR cut-off, reported a resource of: Indicated - 244,000ozs AuEq: 85,000ozs Au, 5.2Mozs Ag, 5Mlbs Cu, 17Mlbs Pb and 114Mlbs Zn and Inferred - 193,000ozs AuEq: 64,000ozs Au, 4.7Mozs Ag, 5Mlbs Cu, 16Mlbs Pb and 92Mlbs Zn.

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.
