Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2024) - Equity Metals Corporation (TSXV: EQTY) (FSE: EGSD) (OTCQB: EQMEF) ("Equity" or the "Company") announces that it proposes to undertake a non-brokered Flow-through private placement consisting of 10,500,000 Charity/Premium flow-through units (FT) at $0.295 for gross proceeds of $3,097,500. Each FT Unit will be comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half (0.5) of one non-flow-through warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share for a period of 3 years at a price of $0.295.
The proceeds received from the sale of the FT Units will be focused on the initial delineation of two new targets located to the northeast of, and not included in, the earlier 2022 updated Mineral Resource estimate on the Silver Queen, gold/silver project, in British Columbia. A +6,000metre drill program is currently underway and these additional funds allow for drilling to continue well into summer on the Cole and George Lake veins systems (Figure 1), which have been partially tested by historical and Equity drilling. In the current program, three core holes have been completed on the George Lake Target, and samples from two of these holes have been submitted for analyses. Assays are pending and are anticipated over the coming weeks.
The Company may pay finders' fees comprised of cash and non-transferable warrants in connection with the Offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued and sold under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from their date of issuance. Completion of the Offering and the payment of any finders' fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.
