TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2022 /CNW/ - QC Copper and Gold Inc. ("QC Copper" or the "Company") (TSXV: QCCU) (OTCQB: QCCUF) is pleased to report 23 holes that continue to demonstrate wide zones of high-grade copper and gold within Opemiska's conceptual open pit. These new assay results are in the Starter Pit and Saddle Zone area on the Opemiska Copper-Gold Property.  

Highlights from the Starter Pit Area Include:

Summary of reported composite intersections: Table 1 

Results presented for the Springer Mine area cover the Starter Pit area and include results from the Mill Zone, the Gap Area, and the area south of the Vein #3 as shown on the map and selected sections. Some of these intersections are exceptional, such as hole 220, which cut 2 zones over 76 m core length starting at 80m that assayed 1.5% copper and 0.16 gpt gold over 19m followed by 0.97% copper and 0.26 gpt gold over 35m. Hole 223 cut 33m of 0.59% copper and 0.18 gpt gold starting at 27m and hole 226 cut 40m of 1.03% copper and 0.5 gpt gold. Finally, nearby hole 227 intersected 22.5m of 0.45% copper and 0.35 gpt gold; these last three highlight the expected high gold grades near the Gwillim Fault, which forms the southern limit of the Opemiska Deposit.

Another exceptional intersection was encountered on the Saddle Zone, where a 110m of variably mineralized gabbro returned 0.46% copper and 0.07 gpt gold over 55.5m starting at 147m, followed by 0.78% copper and 0.14 gpt gold over 22.5m.

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Charles Beaudry, P.Geo and géo., Director and Vice President Exploration for QC Copper & Gold, a Qualified Person, as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects."  For the exploration undertaken by QC Copper & Gold, all assay batches are accompanied by rigorous Quality Assurance procedures, including the insertion of standards and blanks and verification assays in a secondary laboratory. All the core received from the drill is split in half, bagged and sent to ALS-Global facilities in Quevillon, Quebec for sample preparation and then the pulps are shipped to AlS-Global's Vancouver laboratory or some other location in the world for analysis using ALS-Global's standardized ISO-compliant methods, all of which are listed in the laboratory certificates provided with the assay results. The remaining half core along with the rejects and the pulps returned from the laboratory are securely stored at QC Copper's facilities in Chapais, Quebec. Quality Control results, including the laboratory's control samples, are evaluated immediately on reception of batch results and corrections are implemented immediately if necessary. All drill collars are surveyed and positioned in UTM coordinates. Collars are oriented using a gyroscopic north-finding system and downhole deviations surveys are done with a single-shot gyroscopic instrument at 30 to 50m intervals. For veins oriented approximately east-west and dipping towards the north, and drill holes oriented due south and plunging between 50 and 65 dips, the true width of mineralized intersections are equal or greater than 80% of the quoted core length composite intervals. This observation also holds for veins oriented northwest-southeast and dipping towards the northeast with holes drilled towards the southwest at 225 degrees with dips between 50 and 65 degrees. However, for other drill hole orientations relative to these veins or other less common vein orientations, the true widths of mineralized intersections are less.
