Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (“QGold” or the “Company”) announces that its summer 2026 exploration program at the Mine Centre Gold Project returned select grab sample assays of up to 600 g/t gold and advanced multiple high-priority targets for the Company’s planned diamond drilling campaign later in 2026.
asserted
program → announce → 2026
Completing over three field rotations from June through August 2026, the program combined geological mapping, vein tracing, prospecting, grab sampling and systematic channel sampling across targets north and south of the historic Foley Mine.
asserted
program → complete → Mine
Assays have been received for the first two rotations, while assays from the third rotation remain pending.

assays → receive → rotation
HIGHLIGHTS
- Select grab samples from the Ferguson Showing returned 600 g/t, 73.4 g/t, 57.8 g/t and 44.0 g/t gold along a northwest-striking vein approximately 500 m southwest of the historic Golden Star Mine (QG-AD-032, QG-AD-030, QG-ND-153 and QG-ND-051).

samples → return → Mine
Grab samples from a quartz vein approximately 1.2 km south of the historic Manhattan Gold Vein Mine returned 46.6 g/t and 34.7 g/t gold (QG-ND-040 and QG-ND-039).
asserted
samples → grab → g
- Select grab samples approximately 300 m south of the Foley Mine returned 95.1 g/t and 89.8 g/t gold within the broader Vowel, Jumbo and Bonanza multi-vein systems (QG-ND-125 and QG-AD-020).
asserted
samples → return → systems
- The three-rotation program generated 222 grab samples and 126 channel samples, excluding quality-control samples, and will support target ranking for the planned 2026 drill campaign (all 126 channel sample assays and the remaining third-rotation grab sample assays are pending).
asserted
assays → generate → campaign
QGold is integrating the assay results with new geological mapping, vein tracing and structural measurements to rank drill targets across North Foley, South Foley, Nugget, Ferguson and Pacitto.
asserted
QGold → integrate → Foley
The planned drilling campaign is expected to increase drill density around the previously drilled Foley Mine and test select surface targets identified by the 2026 program.
asserted
campaign → expect → program
Although certain veins in the area have been tested by historical drilling, most remain untested.
asserted
most → test → drilling
“The 2026 surface program has given us a broader and better-defined set of targets at Mine Centre,” said Dr. Andreas Rompel, Chief Operating Officer of QGold.
asserted
Rompel → give → QGold
“The high-grade grab sample results at Ferguson and South Foley warrant systematic follow-up.
asserted
results → warrant → up
We will combine the pending channel assays with our mapping and structural data to prioritize the targets for the planned drill campaign.”

FIRST EXPLORATION ROTATION JUNE 22 TO JULY 6, 2026
Field crews completed systematic prospecting and grab sampling across the Foley Project, focusing on documented mineralized veins and showings.
asserted
crews → complete → veins
Assay highlights included 55.9 g/t gold at the Pacitto Showing, 32.1 g/t at the Government Vein, 23.2 g/t at the Daisy Vein, 34.7 g/t at the Nugget Vein, 9.61 g/t at the Twin Vein northeast of Foley and 6.66 g/t at the Zinc Vein northeast of Foley.
asserted
highlights → include → Foley
These results guided the follow-up mapping and channel sampling completed during the subsequent rotations.
asserted
results → guide → rotations
The second rotation followed up the mineralized zones identified during the initial program through geological mapping, prospecting, grab sampling and detailed examination of known vein systems.
asserted
rotation → follow → systems
Assay highlights included 95.1 g/t gold at the South Foley Vein, 600 g/t at the northern end of the Government Vein within the Ferguson Showing and 73.4 g/t at the Daisy Vein within the Ferguson Showing.
asserted
highlights → include → Showing
The field team used the results to refine the apparent extent and orientation of the mineralized structures and prioritize areas for channel sampling and future drilling.
asserted
team → use → sampling
The third rotation advanced the surface program through detailed geological mapping, vein tracing, channel sampling, grab sampling and structural measurements.
asserted
rotation → advance → mapping
Channel sampling and detailed channel sketches were completed across vein extensions at North Foley, high-grade South Foley follow-up targets, the Nugget Vein and the Government and Daisy veins within the Ferguson Showing.
asserted
sampling → complete → Showing
Crews also mapped and sampled newly identified or exposed portions of the vein systems.
asserted
Crews → map → systems
This work is intended to define the apparent continuity, geometry and extent of the gold-bearing veins and strengthen the geological basis for drill targeting.
asserted
work → intend → targeting
All channel sample assays and the remaining grab sample assays from this rotation are pending.
asserted
assays → remain → rotation
