QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: QMC) ("QMC" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update and announce results from the Geotech air-borne VTEM plus Time Domain EM system ("VTEM") performed on the Rocky Lake massive sulphide (Rocky Lake and Rocky-Namew projects, Flin Flon district, Manitoba. As a result a total of 22 drill hole locations were recommended on 13 distinct target areas.

The projects are well situated in the mineral prolific region of the province some 50 km North West of The Pas. And, the city of Flin Flon with its smelter is 65 km to the north with the Namew Lake Ni-Cu mine 1 km North West. The Pas - Flin Flon highway passes 14 km east of the property and the Hudson's Bay rail line is 15 km to the East. The project is accessible the majority of the year by 4 wheel drive and year-round by al terrain vehicles (ATV). Important infrastructure including human, goods, services and supplies are all readily available.

The VTEM survey covered all the project licenses and claims for a total of 2142 line kilometers with 160 metre line spacing over an area of 316 square kilometers. Geotech's VTEM plus Time Domain EM system has been shown to locate discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity. These conductors could represent hidden volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralized bodies at depth.

Results

Based on the analysis of EM anomaly picking, EM time-constant (TAU) and resistivity depth imaging, twenty one (21) deep targets were selected for Maxwell 2.5D plate modeling, as shown in the attached figure. Maxwell 2.5D plate modeling provides quantitative interpretations of conductors, using conductive plate(s) in a non-conductive medium. It gives target location geometry and conductivity parameters. Out of twenty one (21) targets selected for modeling, fifteen (15) are classified as first priority targets

QMC selected five of these priority targets recommended in the Geotech report for test drilling the conductors. The Company has made application for drill permits to the Manitoba Ministry of Innovation, Energy and Mines. No previous work program has been carried out in the target areas, except for the Rocky Lake Crone Geophysics Pulse EM (PEM) survey Targets and historical drilling by Hudson Bay Company on the main Rocky Lake Mineral Exploration License 219A

Rocky Lake Project Description

QMC's Rocky Lake permitted property is 5,000 hectares and Jaln 1 Claim is 256 hectares. The adjacent surrounding areas are held as the Rocky-Namew Project and cover 24,691 hectares. The Rocky Lake Copper prospect was discovered in June of 1987, when airborne geophysical surveys detected a 5 km. long conductor and further ground EM surveys outlined a 1500 meter long conductor associated with a magnetic high. Hudson Bay diamond drilled 10 NQ and BQ holes totaling 2,292 meters in three programs; five in 1987, three in 1990 and two in 1991. This QMC cut a new grid over the Hudson Bay anomaly and completed the Crone Pulse Domain Electromagnetic (PEM) survey. The PEM survey delineated a very prominent conductor anomaly shown in the attached figure.

The PEM survey anomaly suggests that some of the strongest portions of the original Hudson Bay electromagnetic anomaly were not adequately tested. The drilling appears to have been carried out on the footwall side of the potential mineralized body, thereby missing the main target. Copper mineralization intersected in the Hudson Bay drilling is present as stringers and could represent footwall stringer mineralization adding credence that the main massive sulphide mineralized body may well have been missed. QMC has received the necessary permits to drill the PEM conductor anomalies. Total drilling is anticipated to be 2,500 meters and is expected to begin in late September by a contracted drilling company.
