Q-Gold Receives High-Grade Gold Results From Metallic Screen Assay At Mine Centre
27 March 2023 - 11:00PM
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.
The property has favourable logistics with
immediate access to Highway 11 and sitting 250 km Northwest of
Thunder Bay and 65 km Northeast of the U.S. border. It is also
proximal to two major gold discoveries 95 km on either side of Mine
Centre: Rainy River (New Gold) (4.5 M oz. Au & 11.4 M oz. Ag)
& Hammond Reef (Agnico Eagle) (4.5 M oz.).
Other interest areas on the Property include the
McKenzie Gray Vein System; a gold-silver vein
system with 6,594 m of drilling confirming existence of high-grade
quartz vein down to 100 m. As well as the the Golden Star,
Manhattan, and Fergus Vein Systems; all high-potential gold vein
prospects offering tremendous optionality at Mine Centre.
