Q-Gold Receives High-Grade Gold Results From Metallic Screen Assay At Mine Centre

TORONTO, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q-Gold Resources Ltd (TSXV: QGR, OTC: QGLDF, FRA: QX9G) (“Q-Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the final assay results of two samples from our fall 2022 exploration drilling program, which were sent for metallic screen analysis owing to the presence of visible gold, have been received. All samples were analyzed at the Thunder Bay Actlabs facility (Table 1).

As previously announced (please see Company press release dated February 13, 2023), the 2022 drill program was an overall success with 5 of the 8 holes drilled intersecting their targeted vein systems. Two of the holes, Q22-14 and Q22-16 had visible gold present in samples. The selected samples, originally analyzed by 30-gram fire assay with an AA finish were re-assayed using a 500-gram metallic screen analysis. The table below shows the results from each analysis.

The diamond drilling program consisted of 8 holes drilling 1,166 metres targeting the two main veins at Foley (Bonanza and Jumbo) as well as a high-grade vein previously exposed by trenching to the northeast of Foley.

“We are even more excited and encouraged by these high-grade intersections around our project at Foley Mine,” commented Dr. Andreas Rompel, Chief Executive Officer, “and we now have the proof that these veins are highly prolific and warrant further exploration along strike as well as down-dip.”

About the Existing Mine Centre Property

Q-Gold holds 10,000+ acres of contiguous mining claims, Crown leases and leasehold patents located within the historic Mine Centre 1890’s gold camp, which produced 16,025 ounces of gold from the Foley Gold Mine and the Golden Star Mine.

The Foley Gold Mine was first developed in the 1890’s, with the sinking of the Foley Shaft to the 400’ level. At this time 10,500 tons of ore at 14 g/t was mined from stopes at the 100’ level with 5,267 oz of gold recovered 1898 – 1900. Subsequent work between 1923-27 included an estimated $12 M of total development work, including an offset Shaft 400’ - 850’, winze 400’ to 150’ and 2.5+ km of drifts on 7 levels. Operations terminated in 1927 due to the onset of the Great Depression.
