QC Copper and Gold : to Re-Start Drilling on Opemiska

Toronto - QC Copper and Gold Inc. ('QC Copper' or the 'Company') (TSXV: QCCU), is pleased to announce that the company is scheduled to re-start drilling on the Opemiska Property.

This new drill program is planned for 6,000 metres and will act as a precursor to a much larger drilling program currently in the planning stages.

The areas of focus for this current drill program are designed to confirm the orientation of mineralized structures in and around the Opemiska open pit, in particular, the Saddle Zone and the Eastern Veins. The drill will be mobilized next week, with the program expected to complete by December 2021.

Drill Program for 2022 - A Robust Drill Program To be Announced

QC Copper has identified four priority targets with the potential to add resources to the currently defined NI 43-101 resource within the conceptual pit of the Springer-Perry deposit. These targets are the Saddle Zone, the Eastern Veins, Perry Mine at depth, and the Beaver Lake Fault corridor, including the Cooke and Robitaille Mines. Management considers these areas as very likely to augment the existing inventory of resources on the Opemiska Project. The Company is currently designing this drill program and its logistics, with further details provided soon.

'All the planned drilling in the coming 12 months is meant to expand the resource base at Opemiska as much as possible in anticipation of a new mineral resource estimate and a pivot towards project development. Once we are satisfied that we have tested all the immediate potential, we will shift gears and towards a PEA and beyond. This is a large and highly prospective land package, which we plan to continue exploring even once the project enters the development pipeline', said Stephen Stewart, CEO and Chairman of QC Copper and Gold.
