Validation drilling on about one kilometre of the No. 3 Vein finished at 17 holes and 5,719 m. Highlights, reported as estimated true thickness, included SQ26-173 at 6.1 m averaging 1.9 g/t Au, 166 g/t Ag, 1.9% Pb and 8.6% Zn (including 2.6 m grading 1.5 g/t Au, 313 g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu, 3.9% Pb and 16.2% Zn), SQ26-171 at 2.6 m averaging 2.6 g/t Au, 310 g/t Ag, 0.8% Cu, 0.4% Pb and 4.8% Zn, and SQ26-178 at 3.2 m averaging 3.5 g/t Au, 235 g/t Ag, 0.5% Pb and 3.7% Zn. Drilling was scheduled to resume on or about the second week of October (up to 8 holes and 2,500 m, on No. 3 Vein dilution halos), and an amended permit allows Earl Adit rehabilitation ahead of a drone lidar survey, with planning underway for a late Q4 start.

Equity reported an updated mineral resource estimate for Silver Queen with an effective date of September 11, 2026. The estimate incorporated an additional 87 holes and 34,482 m drilled since the December 2022 estimate. That metre figure is not the 2026 validation program.
Source: Company IR ↗ - 01 Program start
Crews had mobilized in preparation for drilling at Silver Queen. The initial 2026 phase was planned as 16 holes totaling 4,200 m to test parts of the resource model, including twins of historical holes, with new core for metallurgical test work on the No. 3 vein.

About the project
Silver Queen is Equity Metals’ precious- and base-metal vein project in the Omineca Mining Division of central British Columbia, along the Skeena Arch. The 2026 work is validation drilling on the No. 3 Vein, updating sections of the vein that the resource model had drawn largely from 1970s and 1980s holes, and sampling the margins used for dilution in the resource estimate.
Highlight lengths in the October 8 release are estimated true thickness. The same release lists collar SQ26-173 at 649241E, 5995469N under the header UTM Coordinates NAD83 Z11. That zone label does not place the collar on this property, so the profile is not plotted.
