Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (“QGold” or the “Company”) is excited to announce the start of its 2026 drilling campaign at its Mine Centre Gold Project in Ontario.

Ltd. → announce → Ontario
The planned program will initially focus on targets around the Foley Mine, extending the known veins along strike and dip.
asserted
program → plan → strike
A second phase planned for soon after the completion of the initial phase will follow up on the high-grade soil samples achieved during the Company’s summer field mapping and sampling campaign (see the Company’s press release dated September 14, 2026, a copy of which is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca).

Highlights:
- QGold’s 2026 drilling program commenced on September 12, 2026 (Fig. 1).
asserted
program → commence → September
- The initial phase will target mineralised vein systems approximately 500 m northeast of the Foley Mine, as well as the South Foley area, where drilling is designed to expand the known mineralised zone along strike to the south (Fig. 2).
asserted
drilling → target → .
- The first four planned holes are completed at the Zinc and Twin vein targets in the area south of the historic Foley Mine, and the next holes in the planned drilling program have already been started (Fig. 2).
asserted
holes → plan → program
- The second phase will focus on further expansion of the South Foley mineralised system.

Additionally, drilling will test priority showings further to the northeast of the Foley Mine identified during the 2026 summer field program, including areas where high-grade surface gold samples were collected.

QGold has commenced its planned drilling program targeting the Zinc and Twin veins (Fig. 3) and the area south of the historic Foley Mine, where the Bonanza, Jumbo, Vowel, Lucky Joe, Daisy and Foley South veins converge within a few hundred metres of one.
asserted
veins → commence → one
Observed vein widths range from approximately 0.3 metres to several metres.
asserted
widths → range → metres
In addition to testing the wider veins, the program will systematically log, map and model smaller, potentially gold-bearing veinlets.
asserted
program → test → veinlets
This work will improve the understanding of the geometry, distribution and continuity of the vein system and help assess the contribution of these veinlets to the broader mineralised system.
asserted
work → improve → system
Should drilling confirm sufficient gold grades and continuity across the principal veins and surrounding veinlet network, the results could warrant evaluation of an open-pit mining concept instead of a conventional underground mining option.
uncertain
results → confirm → option
The suitability of either approach would remain subject to further technical and economic assessment.
asserted
suitability → remain → assessment
The additional drilling information and updated geological modelling are intended to support an initial mineral resource estimate for the Foley Mine area, subject to sufficient data quality, drill coverage and demonstrated geological and grade continuity.
asserted
information → update → quality
Further north, QGold plans to undertake exploratory drilling to follow up on elevated gold values returned from soil sampling near the historical Ferguson showing (Fig. 4).
asserted
QGold → plan → showing
“We are excited to have resumed drilling in the vicinity of the Foley Mine,” said Dr. Andy Rompel, chief operating officer of the Company.
asserted
Rompel → excite → Company
“This phase of the program will follow up on encouraging grab sample results south of the Foley shaft and build on the substantial exploration database already established in this area.
asserted
phase → follow → area
Our objective is to advance the project towards an initial mineral resource estimate early next year.
asserted
objective → advance → estimate
The second phase of this year’s drilling program will test additional exploration targets farther north, following up on promising grab sample results from historic veins in the vicinity of the Manhattan vein and Golden Star Mine, where historical workings date back to the first half of the twentieth century.
asserted
workings → test → century
This work will help us assess the potential to identify additional zones of gold mineralisation beyond the immediate Foley Mine area.”
