- Equinox targets high-grade Mozy Marsh Project in British Columbia
- Project adds strategic antimony and precious metals value
- Landholding expansion supports long-term exploration strategy
The mining industry continues to be drawn to stable jurisdictions with strong resource potential, and Equinox Resources (ASX:EQN) is making a decisive move in this direction. The company has signed a binding option agreement to acquire 100% of the Mozy Marsh Gold-Antimony Project in British Columbia, Canada—a region known for its prolific mining history and regulatory stability.
Located in the Vernon Mining Division of the Monashee Mountains, the Mozy Marsh Project fits well within Equinox’s broader strategy. It strengthens the company's focus on critical minerals, particularly antimony, while adding considerable gold and silver exploration potential. Historical assay results from the project have shown exceptionally high grades, including samples of 131 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 178 g/t silver, as well as 129 g/t Au and 353 g/t Ag. These promising numbers were recovered from Adit Level Three, one of several exploration sites within the project.
Antimony, used widely in industrial applications including flame retardants and semiconductors, remains a core part of Equinox’s critical minerals focus. Additional samples from other zones in the project, like Adit Level Four, also yielded impressive results—such as up to 74.3 g/t Au in quartz-stibnite veins—further supporting the project's high-grade potential.
In a strategic step to reinforce its position, Equinox has expanded its landholding in the area to cover 11.4 square kilometers, including new tenement applications that extend the southern boundary of the project. This move helps protect against third-party staking and underscores the company’s intent to develop the site methodically. The upcoming exploration program will include assaying over 100 rock chip samples, extensive fieldwork, and geophysical surveys aimed at refining targets and guiding future development.
Equinox Resources’ Managing Director, Zac Komur, described the acquisition as a valuable and cost-effective addition to the company’s portfolio. The Mozy Marsh Project’s historical production record, combined with its high-grade assays and strategic location, positions it as a strong contributor to Equinox’s long-term vision in critical minerals.
With continued investor attention and active community discussions, Equinox’s latest move into British Columbia places it firmly on the radar as it pursues its growth trajectory in the mining sector.
