Q-Gold Receives Exploration Permit, Drilling to Commence Immediately
November 28 2022 - 8:22AM
Q-Gold Resources Ltd (TSXV: QGR, OTC: QGLDF, FRA: QX9G)
(“
Q-Gold” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has received its exploration permit
allowing the Company to begin drilling with immediate effect on its
wholly owned Mine Centre Property (“
Property”) as
part of its 2022 exploration program.
The fall diamond drill program is designed to
extend the known mineralization of the Bonanza and Jumbo veins
previously mined at the Foley mine in the early 1900’s to the north
and northwest. The program will also target coincident anomalies
that were revealed by the LiDAR and MMITM soil surveys completed
this past summer (See press release of the Company dated August 9,
2022).
“We have keenly awaited the exploration permit
to initiate the follow-up drilling to our successful 2021campaign,”
commented Dr. Andreas Rompel, Chief Executive Officer, “and are
ready in the field to commence this new phase of exploration aiming
at extending the strike length of the gold-bearing veins at our
Mine Centre project. Last year’s good results have encouraged us to
continue on this path.”
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.
Previous drilling conducted by Q-Gold between
2005-2012 established the Foley Gold Mine as a large deposit of
gold-bearing veins with an excellent picture of the mine’s gold
potential from surface to the 122 m level. Highlights from those
drill results include the following high-grade gold intercepts:
- Foley – Hole Q-05-08 – 53.47 g/t Au – Over 1.5 m
- Foley – Hole Q-BV-10-1 – 106.7 g/t Au – Over 0.23 m
- Foley – Hole Q-BV-12-06 – 33.38 g/t Au – Over 1.05 m
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.
