VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 3, 2013) - Equitas Resources Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:EQT) ("Equitas") is pleased to announce the receipt and preliminary evaluation of geochemistry results and geological mapping from the Three Jays Area 2013 Field Program completed in October of 2013.
Jay Roberge, President & CEO of Equitas Resources Corp. states, "We are very pleased with the conclusions of this preliminary evaluation on the Three Jays Area which has added four new, non-outcropping targets to three previously known and exposed targets in the immediate area. The Three Jays Area is a priority area for exploration drilling for the Nahmint Project in 2014. This preliminary evaluation will now be integrated into a updated NI 43-101 report for the Nahmint Project to be filed upon completion."
GPS-controlled 'B' horizon soil sampling was completed at 50 m intervals and 100m line spacing, concurrently with geological mapping, rock and stream moss mat sampling over the 2 km x 1 km area of Three Jays North Grid.
Final geochemistry results were received on November 14-15, 2013 for the 6 stream moss mat, 303 soil and 35 rock samples taken during the October 2013 field program at the Three Jays North Grid on the Nahmint Property. All samples were received, prepared and analyzed by AGAT Laboratories, using their industry standard sample preparation methods for stream sediments, soils or rocks at AGAT's Burnaby laboratory; and the 48 metal package by 4 acid digestion and ICP/ICPMS finish, and the trace gold by Fire Assay/ICP finish at their Mississauga laboratory. Geochemistry results from the 2013 program for target and indicator elements are statistically summarized as follows:

At the Three Jays North Grid, geological mapping has identified an elongate, 1.75 km x 250 m. flat-lying basin of Quatsino limestone along the centre of the grid, overlying Karmutsen mafic volcanics, intruded by steep, narrow felsic intrusive dykes, and cut by block faulting.
Geochemistry data in the Three Jays Area from multiple soil grids completed during different field programs since 2008 has been merged and displays interesting areas and trends of elevated values for target and indicator elements, with seven (7) potential target areas identified and summarized as follows:
To summarize, the 2013 field program at the Three Jays Area of the Nahmint Property has established 4 new, non-outcropping target areas (JJJNE, JJJNW, Danylon and Ridge) to complement the 3 previously known and exposed target areas (JJJ Mine, JJJSW and Beach) in the immediate area. The combined GPS-controlled grid-based soil geochemistry and geological mapping program was very useful in establishing the 4 new target areas. The Three Jays Area of the Nahmint Property represents one of seven geophysical target areas identified by the 2012 aeromagnetic survey completed over the property, and the first of the seven targets with geological mapping and soil geochemistry completed.
Follow up work at the Three Jays area planned for 2014 includes construction of exploration trails, mechanized trenching and diamond drilling, for which a permit for 25,000m of diamond drilling, has been received from the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines, pending posting of the required reclamation security. Expansion of the soil geochemistry and geological mapping program are also planned in the area. Follow up work for the rest of the Nahmint Property includes additional grid-based soil geochemistry and geological mapping over other geophysical targets, along with property scale geological mapping.
The 2013 field program was supervised by Jacques Houle, P.Eng., who is also the qualified person as defined by NI43-101 for the Company and the Property and has approved the contents of this news release.
