Executive Summary

  • QCX Gold Corp. announced plans to conduct a large-scale, high-resolution airborne magnetic survey across its entire Batchawana project in Ontario, with work scheduled to begin in November.
  • The survey aims to define structural features and stratigraphy to generate high-priority targets for 2026 ground-based exploration programs, integrating new data with historical datasets.
  • The project is strategically positioned adjacent to Sterling Metals Corp.'s major copper discovery, sharing a 6.6 km boundary with the discovery area, placing QCX in a promising emerging copper district.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: High-resolution airborne magnetic survey covering the full extent of the Batchawana property.
  • Technical Specifications: Survey flown on 75-metre line spacing.
  • Timeline: Work scheduled to begin in November; results will inform a property-wide prospecting and ground-truthing program in 2026.
  • Strategic Context: Property directly adjoins Sterling Metals Corp.'s Soo copper project.
  • Neighbor Discovery Data: Sterling Metals recently reported major copper intervals including:
    • 262.5 metres of 1.05 per cent CuEq
    • 68.3 metres of 3.25 per cent CuEq
    • 9.3 metres of 19.8 per cent CuEq
  • Geological Setting: Located within the Precambrian Batchawana greenstone belt on the eastern margin of the Mid-Continent Rift (MCR), a host for large porphyry-style copper systems.
  • Historical Context: Land package lies along strike of the past-producing Tribag mine (historically mined for copper, molybdenum, silver, and gold).
  • Exploration Potential: Historic soil anomalies and untested geophysical conductors have not been systematically followed up with modern techniques.
  • Qualified Person: Kelly Malcolm, PGeo (PGO -- 2864), Director of QCX, reviewed and approved the geological information. Note: QP has not completed sufficient work to verify historic information but assumes industry standard practices for sampling.
