Can Historic Silver Data Turn Into a New Mine? | Rob Macdonald – Equity Metals

Rob Macdonald, VP of Exploration at Equity Metals (TSXV: EQTY), joined us at the Red Cloud Pre-PDAC 2026 Mining Showcase to walk through the company’s near-term catalysts at the Silver Queen project in central British Columbia.

Equity is currently drilling at Silver Queen with the goal of updating the project’s mineral resource in the coming weeks and advancing toward a preliminary economic assessment later in 2026. A key focus is the Number Three vein, where much of the existing data comes from historic 1980s drilling. Macdonald explains the company is running a validation program to confirm the resource model and generate fresh material for additional metallurgical test work.

Beyond the validation work, Equity is preparing to test additional greenfield targets at Silver Queen and expects total 2026 drilling of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 meters across Silver Queen and the Arlington project. At Arlington, the company plans spring surface work to upgrade targets ahead of potential drilling in fall 2026.
