TORONTO, February 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QGR, OTC: QGLDF, FRA: QX9G) (“q gold” Or “company”) is pleased to announce that the 2022 Exploration Diamond Drill Program (“2022 drill program”) which was successfully completed on December 23, 2022, has been received.
The 2022 drill program was an overall success with 5 of the 8 holes drilled intersecting their targeted vein systems. The portion of the 2022 drill program that focused on the historic Foley Mine (Figure 1) was very successful in extending the strike of the Bonanza vane to 300 m to the north, with the northernmost hole, Q22-14 9.3m grading 0.75 g/min. Tea. The Bonanza Silver grade faced East of Foley in the Q22-12 grading 1910 G/T AG which is equal to 23.875 g/t AuEq* gives the intersection of 1.6m @ 14.30 g/t AuEq, The results to date are shown in Table 1.

“Our team is excited by the results of the 2022 drill program in the Foley field. The Q22-14 results show that mineralization is continuing north and opening up into a wider system,” commented Richard Kilpatrick, Exploration Manager, Q-Gold . “The intercept at Q22-12 occurred in a previously unproven vein that will feature prominently in the upcoming spring Foley exploration program. In addition, the property-wide structural study, which commenced in January 2023, is nearing completion and the results will allow Q-Gold to generate several drill-ready targets for upcoming exploration seasons.
“We are very pleased with the completion of the diamond drilling program and the results we have received from the assay laboratories,” said Dr. Andreas Rompel, CEO of Q-Gold. “We have again overcome high grade and confirmed northern strike extension of our gold-bearing quartz-vein around the Folly mine and feel encouraged to pursue these with further drilling in the spring. “

About the existing Mine Center property
Q-Gold owns 10,000+ acres of contiguous mining claims, Crown leases and leasehold patents located within the historic Mine Center 1890 Gold Camp, which produced 16,025 ounces of gold from the Folly Gold Mine and the Golden Star Mine.
The Foley Gold Mine was first developed in the 1890s, with the Foley shaft sunk to a level of 400′. At this time 10,500 tons of ore were mined at 14 g/t from the stop at the 100′ level, with 5,267 ounces of gold recovered 1898 – 1900. The subsequent work from 1923–27 included an estimated $12 M of total development work including offsets. Shaft 400′ – 850′, Vinz 400′ to 150′ and 2.5+ km drift on 7 levels. Operations ceased in 1927 due to the onset of the Great Depression.
The property has immediate access to Highway 11 and favorable logistics being 250 km north-west of Thunder Bay and 65 km north-east of the US border. The mine is also adjacent to two major gold discoveries 95 km away from the centre: Rainy River (New Gold) (4.5 M oz. Au and 11.4 M oz. Ag) and Hammond Reef (Agnico Eagle) (4.5 M oz. Au and 11.4 M oz. Ag). ).
Other areas of interest on the property include the Mackenzie Gray Vein System., A gold-silver vein system with 6,594 meters of drilling confirming the existence of a high-grade quartz vein up to 100 meters. as well as Golden Star, Manhattan and Fergus Wayne Systems; All high potential gold vein prospects offering tremendous optionality in the mine center.
