Q PRECIOUS BEGINS DRILLING AT LA CORNE SOUTH IN QUEBEC

Mr. Richard Penn reports

Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCES LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, VAL D'OR QUEBEC

Diamond drilling is now under way on Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp.'s La Corne South project, located north of Val d'Or, Que. The company completed construction of new access routes and drill pads to test two priority geophysical targets, as determined by the company's exploration team (EMG-01 and EMG-02).

Diamond drilling has now commenced to test TDEM (time-domain electromagnetic) and magnetic anomaly EMG-01, as determined from geophysical surveys completed on the property. In 2024, drilling was successful at intercepting significant massive and disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc and gold by testing similar geophysical targets (see news release dated March 19, 2025).

Drill pads have been constructed to allow for multiple drill positions to test anomalies EMG-01 and EMG-02. The existing drill permit also allows for road access and multiple pad construction to five other target areas that were delineated from the geophysical surveys, along a two-kilometre corridor extending northwest from EMG-1 to EMG-6. Drilling could proceed at these other geophysical targets following successful testing at EMG-1 and EMG-2.

First Class Diamond Drilling Inc. has been contracted to undertake diamond drilling on the La Corne South project. First Class Drilling successfully completed the first three drill holes on the project in 2024.

Explo-Logik Inc., located in Val d'Or, is managing this phase of exploration, including core logging and sampling at its facility. The first phase of drill testing the massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization at holes 1 through 3 totalled 278 samples of core from three holes. Core was directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the laboratory in Val d'Or, Que. The samples underwent multielement analysis process that uses four-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and analysis for gold, platinum and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance/quality control, Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards or duplicates at one per every 10 samples.
