Geology & Interest Areas

GEOLOGY OVERVIEW:

Granitic-greenstone rocks with epigenetic mineral deposits (from near-surface metamorphism)
Sigmoidal block of Archaean granitic and metavolcanic rocks deformed by intersection of major regional faults (quetico & seine river)
Subsequent Archaean intrusions filled fissures with 100+ gold-bearing quartz veins on QGR properties
Lode gold deposits spatially associated with late major shear zones
Mine Centre and Foley mine complex established as an extensive classic archaean high-grade, lode gold vein system

AREAS OF INTEREST AT MINE CENTRE:

Foley Gold Mine System: A gold vein system with 5,916 m of drilling and significant historical development down to 850 ft. level.
McKenzie Gray Vein System: Gold-silver vein system with 6,594 m of drilling confirming existence of high-grade quartz vein down to 100 m.
Golden Star, Manhattan, and Fergus Vein Systems: High-potential gold vein prospects offering tremendous optionality at Mine Centre.

FOLEY – DRILL RESULTS

Recent Activity by Q-Gold:

Early Delineation Drilling (1,532 m): Bonanza & Jumbo veins in 2005.

Phase II (2,160 m): Delineation drilling program completed June 2012.
5,916 m successful drilling Foley Gold Mine delineated gold veins/ore shoots to 122 m level

Foley Mine Vein Complex

Foley Mine 2005 Drill Program

Historical drilling between 2005-2012 drilling established the Foley Gold Mine as a large deposit of spaced-out gold-bearing veins with an excellent picture of the mine’s gold potential from surface to the 122 m level.

Additional Targets & Development

There are additional significant potential sources of future gold production in the area. The majority require further exploration and development, with some work completed on the wholly-owned McKenzie Gray Gold/Silver Deposit.

MCKENZIE GRAY GOLD/ SILVER DEPOSIT: Estimated 50,000+ oz. Au equivalent (undeveloped)
MANHATTAN MINE: 320’ Shaft, 10’ Wide Gold Vein at Shaft Bottom
GOLDEN STAR MINE: 10,758 oz. Au Production (1898-1900)
DECCA MINE: Shaft (no further development)
FERGUSON MINE: Shaft (no further development)

McKenzie Gray

Completed a total of 6,594 m of drilling. The most recent included 17 drill holes (2,751 m) in 2012. Highlights are shown in the table (right).

Estimated ~100,000 tonnes at 8.5 g/t Au as per Ontario Geologic Survey (not NI 43-101 compliant).

Workplan

EXPLORATION PROGRAM

Q-Gold’s goal at Mine Centre is to complete an updated 43-101 report on the Foley Gold Mine property with the aim of delineating a compliant resource. This work will leverage the 5,916 m of drill results from 2005-2012 along with the proposed campaign below.

2020/2021 EXPLORATION CAMPAIGN

Assess the historical data and evaluate the existing 3D geological model to identify drill targets.
Conduct ~3,150 m of diamond drilling to infill the recent drilling at the Foley Gold Mine and better define mineralization down to the 260 m level.

Estimated cost of the campaign is CA$1.5 million.

These results will guide subsequent exploration on the mineralization below the -260 m level, which is open in all directions. Success at the Foley Gold Mine complex will then be applied on other high priority vein arrays to continue to build the project’s mineral inventory.
