Equitas Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EQT) (FRANKFURT:T6U1) (the "Company") is
pleased to provide an update on the planned and ongoing exploration and
development activities for the Company's DAY Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in the
Toodoggone Region of north-central British Columbia. The DAY Copper-Gold
Porphyry Project Property was originally discovered and historically drilled by
Falconbridge in 1974, with additional historical drilling on the property by
Skeena Resources in 1994. 


The DAY Copper-Gold Project is approximately 7,100 hectares and has five
historic showings named; Day, Roy, Porcupine, Raven and 'A' Chalcocite. The
Company has completed the initial ground work of surveying, mapping, sampling
and the drilling of an initial exploration hole at the Roy showing. A total of
211 rock and soil samples were collected during the ground work completed in
August, 2011. A total of 397 drill core samples (including re-sampling of
historic drill core) have been sent in for assaying and the results are expected
back in the coming weeks. 


Exploration highlights include;



--  The completion of an aero magnetic survey of 992 line kilometres
    covering the entire property of approximately 7,100 hectares. 
--  Surveying, mapping and sampling of all five showings on the DAY
    property. 
--  Collection of 211 analytical samples from all five showings of both host
    rock and altered/mineralized zones, including: 
    --  1.60 g/t Au and 0.27% Cu over 8.20 m from a chip sample in a
        historic trench at the Roy Showing, 
    --  1.12 g/t Au and 0.62% Cu over approximately 25 m from a
        discontinuous chip sample of an outcrop at the Day Showing, and 
    --  1.18 g/t Au and 1.37% Cu over 3.0 m from a chip sample in a historic
        trench at the Porcupine Showing. 
--  Several historic drill holes located and marked by GPS on the Roy
    showing, as well as logging historical drill core located on site. 
--  Completion of first hole on the Roy showing to a total depth of 280
    meters before seasonal shut down. 
--  Collection of 397 drill core samples from the initial hole drilled by
    the Company at the Roy Showing and historic drill holes on the Day, Roy,
    and Porcupine showings. 



Significant intervals of Cu-Au mineralization were identified during the 2011
ground exploration of the Roy, Day, and Porcupine showings. Although analytical
results from the 2011 drill hole and resampling of historic holes are pending,
economic grades of Cu-Au mineralization are expected from several of the holes,
based on the mineralization observed in the drill core. 


An 8-10 hole drill program is recommended at the start of the drilling season.
The primary focus will be verifying high-grade mineralization and delineating
the size of the Day, Roy and Porcupine deposits. 


As per September 26, 2011 press release, the Company closed a private placement
of approximately $2.26 million including a strategic investment from Yield Gold
Group Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Ltd. With the
seasonal closure of the exploration season at the DAY Copper-Gold Porphyry
Project, the Company will focus efforts on their stated business strategy to
acquire additional copper-gold porphyry assets in and outside of British
Columbia to provide a stable of complimentary assets and year round exploration
activity.
