Eqi is Disko Gold’s flagship exploration-stage gold project, located within an approximately 50 km² exclusive exploration licence in West Greenland’s Ilulissat district. It lies in the Archean Arveprinsen–Eqi supracrustal belt, a setting geologically comparable to major Archean gold provinces such as the Abitibi and Yilgarn.
Gold occurs in quartz-carbonate veins, copper–gold hydrothermal breccias and sulphide-rich horizons. Reported results include up to 60 g/t Au from a grab sample, up to 22 g/t Au from surface sampling, and a historic drill intersection of 12 g/t Au over 3.8 metres with 1.3% Cu.
Historic work includes mapping, sampling, geophysics and limited drilling, making Eqi the portfolio’s most comprehensively documented gold target. Its proximity to Ilulissat may support future logistics and community engagement. No Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve has been defined, and further exploration is required.
Exploration-stage. Historic mapping, sampling and limited drilling. Gold grade continuity and mineable widths remain unproven. Historic datasets predate modern QA/QC protocols.
Eqi is hosted in the ~2.8 Ga Arveprinsen–Eqi supracrustal belt: metamorphosed mafic and felsic volcanic rocks, sedimentary horizons and a major Archean sill complex of komatiitic to tholeiitic affinity.
Key features include komatiitic and tholeiitic volcanic rocks, felsic volcanic horizons, carbonate alteration, sulphide-rich breccias, and multiple deformation phases that can create structural traps. Much of the Eqi area is greenschist facies, with amphibolite-facies rocks in the west.
Gold occurs in three main styles:
Eqi has a 50–200 m wide alteration footprint, more than one high-grade zone, and untested strike extensions. Depth continuity is locally indicated by historic drilling, not established as a resource. Further work would need systematic mapping, sampling and, if justified, modern drilling with QA/QC.

Gold-first exploration in West Greenland, with strategic graphite and rare earth element projects. Exploration-stage. No Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves have been defined.
Exploration-stage disclosure. The properties described on this website are exploration-stage. No Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves have been defined. Reported grades, widths, lengths and historic results are not, unless expressly stated, representative of any mineralised volume. Exploration potential is conceptual. Further exploration may not result in a Mineral Resource or a Mineral Reserve. Geological analogues are provided for context only and do not imply equivalent scale, grade or economics.
