Quarterback proceeds with phase I exploration at Twin

QB · Price

Executive Summary

  • Quarterback Resources has launched a Phase I exploration program at the Twin Gold Project, encompassing geochemical sampling, rock sampling, ortho‑lidar surveying, and camp site reclamation.
  • 177 historic core samples have been logged and assayed (results pending), and the lidar survey will support future resource modeling and UAV magnetics work.
  • The release reiterates historic drill intercepts across multiple zones (Takla‑Rainbow, Red, East Red, Ridge, Talka‑Rainbow East) highlighting continued mineralization potential.

Key Details

  • Program Scope:
  • Geochemical sampling/logging of historic core (177 samples collected).
  • Geochemical rock sampling from the main Takla‑Rainbow gold zone and a potential extension.
  • Ortho/lidar survey covering the Takla‑Rainbow zones and access road; intended to map historic disturbances, create a terrane model for future resource calculations/high‑resolution UAV magnetics, analyze structures, and establish a baseline before further exploration.
  • Reclamation of the historic Twin camp site.

  • Assay Status: All 177 core samples are pending assay results.

  • Historic Drill Intercepts (core):

  • Takla‑Rainbow zone: Hole TR13‑88 – 22.52 m @ 2.26 ppm Au, 2.15 ppm Ag, 0.19 % Cu (68–90.52 m).
    Hole DDH‑24 – 131.98 m @ 1.32 ppm Au, 0.78 ppm Ag (130 m NW of zone).
  • Red zone: Hole RZ06‑04 – 187 m @ 0.29 % Cu, 0.07 ppm Au, 2.33 ppm Ag; includes 33 m @ 0.59 % Cu, 0.14 ppm Au, 4.19 ppm Ag and 10 m @ 0.98 % Cu, 0.19 ppm Au, 7.68 ppm Ag.
  • East Red zone: No historic drilling; identified as high‑priority target based on two chargeability anomalies (west & east) with a gap in IP coverage.
  • Ridge zone: Historic rock samples returned up to 9.95 ppm Au and 415.7 ppm Ag.
  • Talka‑Rainbow East zone: Recent 2024 company sampling yielded gold values of 32.1 ppm, 25.2 ppm, and 16.35 ppm; associated with a large gold‑silver soil anomaly and remains untested by drilling.

  • Project Context:

  • Located in the Quesnel trough, Omineca mining division, BC (~250 km NW of Prince George).
  • Adjacent to several advanced projects (e.g., Northwest Copper’s Kwanika/Stardust, Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan).
  • Historic work includes 109 drill holes totaling 21,878 m and identification of >15 mineralized zones across three styles (high‑grade veins, alkalic‑related gold, alkalic‑porphyry Cu‑Au).

  • Qualified Person: Linda Caron, MSc, PEng, reviewed and approved the release per NI 43‑101.
