Q-Gold Resources engages FHB Consulting Services LLC to update the Resource Estimate for Quartz Mountain
TORONTO, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QGR) ('Q-Gold' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has retained FHB Consulting Services LLC ('FSB Consulting'), a Washington-based geological consulting firm that is independent from the Company, to conduct an updated review and revision of the historical estimate that has not been confirmed by Q-Gold at the later stage mineral exploration project located in south-central Oregon (the 'Quartz Mountain Project') that the Company intends to acquire pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated March 31, 2025 (the 'Acquisition'). For more information about the Acquisition, please see the Company's press release dated April 3, 2025, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
This initiative is expected to entail a comprehensive revision of the previous mineral resource estimates, originally completed by M. Lechner in 2012 and later updated in-house by the vendor of the Quartz Mountain Project, Alamos Gold Inc. ('Alamos'), in 2016, prepared by Marc Jutras, Ginto Consulting Inc.
As part of the review process, the Company anticipates that FHB Consulting will conduct a field visit to the project site in Oregon. The Company expects that the updated resource estimate will incorporate data from boreholes drilled at Crone Hill and Quartz Butte by Alamos in 2015, as well as historical drilling data from earlier exploration campaigns. The current resource estimate for the Quartz Mountain Project is presented in Table 1.

Q-Gold anticipates that this updated assessment will provide a more accurate and current understanding of the mineral resource potential across what the Company believes to be the key target at the Quartz Mountain Project.
Q-Gold remains committed to closing the Acquisition and unlocking the potential of what the Company believes to be a sizeable deposit, leveraging modern exploration techniques to build shareholder value.
Dr. Andreas Rompel, VP Exploration and Chief Operating Officer of Q-Gold, stated: 'We are very pleased to have engaged such a renowned company to review and update the resource for this gold deposit, which we believe holds significant upside potential within Quartz Mountain and the neighbouring Angle's Camp — areas we intend to explore further in the near future.'
About the Existing Quartz Mountain Property
The Quartz Mountain Project is an advanced-stage exploration project located in south-central Oregon. Over the years, approximately 100,000 metres of drilling has been conducted, with the majority of work focused on the Crone Hill and Quartz Butte deposits, which host a measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource. Combined with the Angel's Camp property (which, for certainty, comprises a portion of the Quartz Mountain Project), the project covers a large land package which the Company believes offers significant exploration potential (for more information about the Quartz Mountain Project, please see the Company's press release dated April 3, 2025).

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change
The Trump administration has drafted a plan to repeal a fundamental scientific finding that gives the United States government its authority to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions and fight climate change, according to two people familiar with the plan. The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration known as the 'endangerment finding,' which scientifically established that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane endanger human lives. That finding is the foundation of the federal government's only tool to limit the climate pollution from vehicles, power plants and other industries that is dangerously heating the planet. The E.P.A. proposal, which is expected to be made public within days, also calls for rescinding limits on tailpipe emissions that were designed to encourage automakers to build and sell more electric vehicles. Those regulations, which were based on the endangerment finding, were a fundamental part of the Biden administration's efforts to move the country away from gasoline-powered vehicles. The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. The E.P.A. intends to argue that imposing climate regulations on automakers poses the real harm to human health because it would lead to higher prices and reduced consumer choice, according to the two people familiar with the administration's plan. They asked to remain anonymous because they weren't authorized to discuss the draft proposal. The draft proposal could still undergo changes. But if it is approved by the White House and formally released, the public would have an opportunity to weigh in before it is made final, likely later this year. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Gold Holds Gains With Focus on US Trade Progress and Fed Rates
(Bloomberg) -- Gold held a three-day advance, as US President Donald Trump announced a highly-anticipated trade deal with Japan, signaling progress on fraught talks ahead of his Aug. 1 tariff deadline. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over Property Boom How San Jose's Mayor Is Working to Build an AI Capital Bullion traded near $3,430 an ounce — up 2.5% so far this week — as Trump announced it would impose 15% and 19% tariffs on goods from Japan and the Philippines, a strategic geopolitical ally. With several countries racing to secure trade deals, investors are seeking clarity specifically on progress with China. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he will meet his Chinese counterparts in Stockholm next week for their third round of talks aimed at extending a tariff truce and widening the discussions. Traders were also monitoring an easing dollar and falling Treasury yields after Bessent offered support for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who has found himself in the line of Trump's fire for holding interest rates steady while waiting to see if duties impact inflation. Lower yields and a weaker greenback tend to benefit the precious metal, as it doesn't pay interest and is priced in the currency. Gold has climbed about a third this year, as uncertainty around Trump's aggressive attempts to reshape global trade and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East sparked flight to havens. The precious metal has consolidated within a tight range over the past few months, though this week's gains have pushed prices to trade about $70 short of April's record high above $3,500 an ounce. Meanwhile, with few major US economic data releases due in the coming days and Fed speakers in a blackout period ahead of next week's policy meeting, traders will be watching for a dovish signal from officials when they gather in Washington from July 29-30. Spot gold was little changed at $3,430.75 an ounce at 8:39 a.m. in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was up 0.1%, after a loss of 0.4% in the previous session. Silver was steady, while platinum and palladium fell.
