Each Unit will consist of one flow through common share and 1/2 non-flow through share purchase warrant with each full warrant exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.25 per common share for a period of three years after the closing of the Offering. The Company will make a provision for an over-allotment option to allow a purchase of up to 10% additional units beyond the number of units in this offering.

Net proceeds will be used for costs associated with the continued exploration/drill program for the Silver Queen project in British Columbia.
The Company plans upwards of 5,500 metres of drilling over the next 6 to 12 months which will target step-outs from the highlighted intercepts toward defining further extensions of mineral resources identified on the No. 3 Vein and recently identified mineralization in the Camp Vein systems.
The Silver Queen project currently contains an NI43-101 Mineral Resources Estimate(1), using a CDN$100 NSR cut-off, of:
Initial assays from the recently completed drill program on the Silver Queen project, British Columbia, intersected Bonanza-grade Silver Mineralization from the Camp Vein target including:
The Company has received a five-year, area-based exploration permit for its 100% owned Silver Queen Au-Ag Project, located near Houston in the well-mineralized Skeena Arch region of British Columbia. Drilling on the property will focus on the systematic resource expansion on an historic high-grade precious-metal-enriched epithermal vein system as well as the identification of new mineral discoveries to further increase existing mineral resources noted below. Three separate vein structures are targeted for exploration drilling with the near- to mid-term objective of doubling the existing mineral resource on the property.
Silver Queen Project Background
The Silver Queen Project is a premier gold-silver property with over 100 years of historic exploration and development 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 to the southeast where it transitions into the NG-3 Vein close to the Itsit porphyry area. Over 20 different vein structures have been identified on the property, forming an extensive network of zoned Cretaceous- to Tertiary-age epithermal veins. The property remains largely under-explored.

The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET and Yungang Wu, P.Geo., of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”) of Brampton, Ontario, Independent Qualified Persons (“QP”), as defined by National Instrument 43-101. P&E Mining suggests that an underground mining scenario is appropriate for the project at this stage and has recommended a CDN$100/tonne NSR cut-off value for the base-case resource estimate.
Robert Macdonald, MSc. P.Geo, is VP Exploration of Equity Metals Corporation and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He is responsible for the supervision of the exploration on the Silver Queen project and for the preparation of the technical information in this disclosure.
