• Mineral Creek Resources Inc. (Q-Gold’s AZ Subsidiary) is Project

Originator/ Operator.

• Company Uses Modern Geophysical and Geologic Interpretation

Techniques to Identify Mining Prospects

• Two Recent Geophysical Surveys on its Holdings in the Historic Mining

Province of the Central Arizona Volcanic Belt (“CAVB”) Yielded a Number

of Outstanding New Targets

• Largest Target (Anomaly “A” on Green Mohave 2 BLM Claim) with

Extraordinary Conductivity of at least 1,000 m Deep, Indicating Metallic

Deposit has Drilling Permit in Place from US Forest Service/ BLM

• Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) Nature of Mined Ore from Nearby

Mines (Cu with overprint of Au, Ag & Zn) Indicates Possible VMS Ore of

10+ Million Tons in Project Target

• $400K Private Placement Sought to Drill 3 Holes (800 m total) to Evaluate

Deposit in 2016.

• 13 BLM claims – approx. 279 acres

• Located in the Southern Bradshaw

Mountains of Yavapai County

• Important part of prolific VMS belt of

precious & base metal mines

• Historic gold & silver camp (late 19th

century) contained 2,000+ gold, silver

& copper mines that produced 5+

MM oz Au/Ag + Cu

• 1890’s silver “depression” & 2 World

Wars stopped all production

• Fractured land position restricted

exploration

• Q-Gold conducting first modern

exploration

HISTORIC PRODUCING MINES IN THE CAVB GENERALLY CONTAIN:

• Meta-Volcanic Host Rocks of Marine Proterozoic (Origin: 1.2-1.7 Billion Years)

• Tabular, Lenticular or Podiform (Ore Shoots) Shape

• 70% Sulfide Minerals of Cu, Au, Ag & Zn

• Zones w/ Cu/ Fe Near Source Vents; Zn-Pb at Edges

• Layers in Submarine Volcanic Successions

• Sharp Contacts Between Sulfide Zones and Country Rocks and Between

Different Sulfide Mineral Zones

• Geologic Units That Dip From 75 deg. to 85 deg.

• Sedimentary Iron Formations Frequently Overlie, or are Laterally

Contiguous w/ Mineralized Zones

• Zones That Tend to Occur in Groups or Layer up to Seven, Separated

Laterally by Less than 50m

• Ore Shoots that can Range from a Lateral Width of up to 200m, Thickness

of 40m and at Depths from 50m to 800m

BASED ON BOTH FIELD MAPPING, SAMPLING & GEOPHSYICAL SURVEYS,

THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS CAN BE MADE:

• Extremely High Conductive Response was Received from CSAMT Survey

(Ground Geophysics), Indicating that the Deposit has a High Metallic

Content, Perhaps Containing Cu & Ag in High Concentrations

• Deposit Appears to be 2 Parallel “Tabular” Bodies Dipping West

• Surface Gossan of Residual Sulfur at the Top Confirms Sulfide Nature

• Deposit Appears to Be Layered w/ 2 Distinct Zones & Sharp Contacts

• Strong Magnetic Response was Also Encountered, Confirming the

Presence of Iron

• Outcrops of the Deposit, Although Leached of Metals, are Bounded by

Ironstone Formations

• Geophysical Profile of Deposit Exceeds the CAVB Size Criteria as to Width,

Length and Thickness

Page 10: TSX Venture Exchange: QGR - Geotech

Q-Gold Resources Ltd. 2016 10

• In Addition to the 2 Tabular Zones Identified by Geophysics, a Third

Zone of Conductivity may be Present Beginning at 150m. This may be

a Zone of Broken Ore or Perhaps an “Oxide Cap” Containing Silver

Minerals as Found in the Adjoining Peck and Silver Prince Mine

Complexes.

• Suggested Volume of 5.4 MM Cubic Metres for the 3 VMS Indicated

Zones, which Equates to 13.8 MM Tons of Potential VMS-Type Copper

Ore.

• Anomaly “A” Appears to Meet All Geologic Characteristics of the

Successful Historic Producing Mines of the CAVB

• Drill Program Will Initially Test All Three Prospective Zones to Confirm

Their Mineralogy & Establish an Initial View of Their Extent and

Mineability

anomalies

• Large number of deep-seated

faults indicated (wavy lines) by

• Strongest EM conductive response of 13 receptors encountered

• Extensive “Tabular” body (redline) extending to min. 125m (VTEM response limit)

• EM showed zone

characteristic of sulfide

mineralization

• Underlain by large

resistive “alteration

halo”; may indicate

sizable disseminated

sulfide deposit at depth (yellow/ orange)

• Conical shape could

represent “chimney” at

volcano vent

• Accompanied by strong

magnetic response

Page 13: TSX Venture Exchange: QGR - Geotech

Q-Gold Resources Ltd. 2016 13

• Strong magnetic anomaly dips 75° W; terminates north due to faulting, continuing 1

km+ to south

“A” Anomaly – Associated magnetic

intensity (pink – max. TMI response)

“A” Conductive Anomaly - EM (red dots) & Mag (pink)

response & associated faults (wavy lines)

• Possible magnetite (FeFe2O4) component; may

indicate “massive oxide” deposit

• Anomaly is formational unit which may or may

not be related to tabular body

• Faults (plumbing?) postulated from mag

discontinuities

• Low resistivity (ohm-

meters) = high

conductivity

• Moderate conductivity

encountered over the

upper “weathered”

zone surface to 75 -

100 m

• High conductivity

zone from 100-600 m

• Moderate conductivity

zone from 600-1,000 m

• Data was sufficient to identify drilling locations

• Highly conductive body exists from 75-100 m below

surface to +/- 600 m depth (+/- 2,000’)

• Conductivity in diminishing intensity continues to

+1,000 m (+3,000’)

• Based on the structural similarity to the historic

Peck and Black Warrior mines and the high

conductivity of silver, the anomalous zone may

contain precious metals

• Anomaly “A” Appears to be Primary Copper/ Zinc VMS Deposit with Overprint of Silver,

Similar to Historic CAVB Mines in the Region.

• Presence of Arsenopyrite and Chalcopyrite in Samples Suggest Possible Presence of

Gold.

• Ground Geophysics Indicate 3 Different Sulfide Zones, 2 of which Reach Surface.

• Primary Zone 600m Deep, 25-50m Thick and 800m Surface Length with Suggested Volume

of 3.7 MM Cubic Meters.

• This Zone Reveals Extremely Low Resistivity (High Conductivity) Suggesting Extremely

High Metal Content.

• Second & Third Sulfide Zones Appear to Contain an Additional Suggested Volume of 1.2

and 0.5 MM Cubic Meters, Respectively.

• Suggested Total Deposit Volume from the 3 Zones Equals 5.4 MM Cubic Meters Equating

to 13.8 MM Tons of VMS-Type Copper Ore.

• Proposed Drill Program to Evaluate all 3 Zones for Additional Exploration & Delineation.

• Suggested Total Volume of 5.4 MM Cubic Meters from Geophysical Surveys, Extremely

Low Resistivity (High Conductivity) Recorded, & the Near Surface Occurrence of 3

Potential Sulfide Zones, Makes this Prospect Extremely Attractive Drilling Target.
