Quebec Precious Metals: Message from the CEO
18 Junho 2019 - 8:00AM
Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSX.V: CJC, FSE: YXEP,
OTC-BB: CJCFF) (“QPM” or the “Company”) is pleased to
provide an update from its Chief Executive Officer, Normand
Champigny:
“Significant progress has been made since the
creation of the Company a year ago. At our 100% owned Sakami gold
project, we have expanded the size of the La Pointe deposit and
drilled new near-surface gold discoveries at the Simon-JR area,
located 6 to 8 km of La Pointe. The drill results highlights are as
follows (see September 10, 2018 press release):
La Pointe
deposit
PT-18-116: 3.89 g/t Au over 14.9 m including 4.26 g/t Au over 11.9
mPT-18-118: 3.22 g/t Au over 31.5 m including 5.11 g/t Au over 15.0
mPT-18-120: 3.59 g/t Au over 27.0 m including 5.06 g/t Au over 15.0
m
Simon-JR area discoverySI19-02:
14.20 g/t Au over 2.0 m including 2.34 g/t Au over 15.25
mSI19-03: 5.05 g/t Au over 5.06 m.
The James Bay Eeyou Istchee territory is
witnessing an increased level of exploration activity. This is
exemplified by the drilling of the Mythril high-grade
copper-gold-molybdenum-silver discovery of Midland Exploration Inc.
and supported by BHP Billiton Canada Inc.’s recent investment of
$5.9 M in Midland. We are in close proximity of this discovery
with two 100% owned projects: Blanche and Charles.
We are now in the exploration program planning
phase and will announce shortly more details on our summer and fall
programs. The results of the exploration programs will provide a
steady news flow over the coming months. With our excellent capital
structure and support from shareholders including Newmont Goldcorp
Corporation, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, PE Partners
and Investissement Québec, we are fully funded and in a strong
position to move forward with our projects.
Recent developments with the rare earth
metals market and the Kipawa project
According to recent monthly official customs
data from China (see link and graph below), the world’s leading
producer of rare earth metals, a reduction of its rare earth metals
exports is currently taking place. This highlights the strategic
importance of rare earth elements and creates opportunities to have
alternate rare earths production in other jurisdictions.

As we have stated previously, the Company has a
68% interest in the Kipawa project, located in the Témiscamingue
MRC, through the Kipawa Rare Earth Joint Venture. The Government of
Québec, through its agent Ressources Quebec Inc. holds the
remaining 32% interest.
A feasibility study released in 2013 showed a
15- year production schedule. The project’s life could
potentially be increased by the discovery of additional resources.
QPM is looking to interest one or more third parties in
joining the project. More information is presented in the attached
document and our web site.
While focusing on Sakami, the Company intends to
monetize non-core assets including the Eeyou Istchee James Bay
territory gold projects Blanche and Charles, Opinaca Gold West,
Annabelle and Chemin Troïlus, and the Vulcain project in southern
Quebec. The Company plans to sell its interest in these projects or
identify partners to pursue exploration.
We remain focused on continually improving our
understanding of the gold potential of the Sakami project while
operating in a safe, environmentally responsible manner and in
close collaboration with the local Cree communities. This is our
roadmap to generate significant shareholder value and for other
stakeholders.”

QPM will hold its Annual General Meeting of
shareholders at 800 Victoria Square, Suite 3700, Montreal, Quebec,
H4Z 1E9, on July 24, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (Montreal time). The
