QMX QMX Gold Corporation

QMX Gold Corporation (“QMX” or the “Company”) (TSX:V:QMX) is pleased to release its latest results on its Bonnefond deposit (Table 1). The Bonnefond deposit is located on the Val d’Or East Zone of QMX’s extensive land package in Val d’Or, Quebec (Figure 3).

The following results are part of the fall 2019 infill drilling program on the Bonnefond tonalitic intrusive and exploration program in the shear zones located to the south of the tonalite. This batch contains the results of seven (7) drill holes and one (1) drill hole extension for a total of 3,306m.

Highlights include (lengths are measured along the holes, Table 1):

• DDH 17315-19-069 returned 41.82 g/t Au over 3.4m in a shear zone.
• DDH 17315-19-093 returned 171.30 g/t Au over 1.0m in a shear zone.
• DDH 17315-19-092 returned 1.08 g/t Au over 72.8m in the tonalite.
• DDH 17315-19-090 returned 1.74 g/t Au over 59.7m in the tonalite.

“We continue to be extremely impressed with the results both within the Bonnefond tonalite and in the shear zones to the south. The results to date bode well for our updated resource estimate, where we expect to upgrade the tonalite material from inferred to indicated, as well as a significant increase in the shear material. We anticipate completing the Bonnefond resource update in the coming months.” Stated Brad Humphrey, President and CEO “We are also eagerly awaiting results from our reconnaissance drill program at the River Target, which are expected in the next week or so.”

Shear Zones

The high grades values in holes 17315-19-069 and 17315-19-093 were intersected in the Bijou Shear zone. The Bijou Shear is located approximately 200m south of the Bonnefond intrusive, it strikes E-W and is dipping at 45º towards the north. Bijou is one of the first mineralized shear zones identified south of the tonalite. It extends 400m along strike and 450m down dip. The zone is characterized by a strong fuschite alteration, associated with quartz veining and disseminated pyrite mineralization. Previous results from the Bijou Shear returned impressive intersections such as 13.2 g/t Au over 8.8m in DDH 17315-17-029 (QMX NR Jan 29th, 2018); 6.9 g/t Au over 2.8m in DDH 17315-17-026 (QMX NR Oct 12th, 2017); 5.1 g/t Au over 2.9m in DDH 17315-19-089 (QMX NR Dec 5th, 2019).

Drill holes 17315-19-096 and 097 intersected several shear zones close to surface west of the Bonnefond intrusion in addition to Bijou. The main intersections are 1.43 g/t au over 6.0m in DDH 17315-19-096 – within the current resource pit shell, and 2.15 g/t Au over 4.7m in DDH 17315-19-097.

A large part of the winter drilling program will focus on improving the definition of the high-grade zones in the Bijou Shear and additional shear zones south of the Bonnefond intrusive.

Bonnefond intrusive:

Drill holes 17315-19-090; 091; 092; 093 and 095 tested the western end of the tonalite. These holes were designed to complete the drilling pattern in order to bring the inferred part of the 2019 resource in the Tonalite to the indicated category. Drill hole 17315-19-090 returned 1.75 g/t Au over 59.7m and 17315-19-092 returned 1.1 g/t Au over 72.8m, which are largely in line with the average grade in the tonalite. Drill holes 17315-19-091, 093 and 095 returned average values lower than 1.0g/t in the tonalite. These lower grades are associated with locally weaker alteration and veining in the intrusive.

The winter drilling program will also evaluate the tonalite under the limits of the 2019 resource.

Quality Control

During the drilling program, assay samples were taken from the NQ core and sawed in half. One half is sent to Swaslab Ltd. or Agat Laboratories. Both are certified commercial laboratories. The other half of the core is retained for future reference. A strict quality assurance and quality control program was applied to all samples, which included insertion of mineralized standards, blank samples and duplicates inside each batch of 20 samples. The gold analyses were completed by fire-assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of material. Repeats were carried out by fire-assay with a gravimetric finish on each sample containing 5.0 g/t Au or more. The gold analyses were undertaken by fire-assay on 50 grams of pulp with an atomic absorption finish. Repeats were carried out by fire-assay with a gravimetric finish on each sample containing 5.0 g/t Au or more. 

Grant of Stock Options The Company has granted a total of 3,555,000 stock options to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan. The stock options vest immediately and may be exercised at a price of $0.11 per option for a period of five years from the date of grant.
