QcX Gold Corp. (TSXV: QCX) (OTCQB: QCXGF) (FSE: 21MA) ('QcX' or the 'Company') is pleased to outline it's 2023 field season exploration plans for the Golden Giant Project ('Golden Giant' or the 'Project'), with particular focus on the Kali East Block, located only 6km from Allkem's James Bay Lithium project, being the largest known lithium deposit in Canada moving towards development.

The location surrounding Golden Giant in the James Bay region of Quebec is seeing a remarkable uptick of lithium exploration and discoveries. The Kali East Block is located directly adjacent to the Billy Diamond Highway, making for easy access and low-cost exploration.

As a reminder, lithium potential was identified on the property after the discovery of pegmatitic boulders scattered across the Kali claims during the recently completed field program. . This is geologically significant for the block's lithium potential, as it is located in close proximity to greenstone belt - granitic pluton contacts, which are known to be highly prospective zones for Li2O-bearing pegmatite dikes. There exists an excellent potential for the block to hold pegmatite dikes directly under the thin layer of overburden that covers the majority of the property. Of particular significance, the high-grade James Bay Lithium deposit has a northwest trend, which is vectoring directly towards the Kali East Block.

Saliently, Brunswick Exploration has commenced a 3,000m drill program to test the southeastern extension of Allkem's orebody. The Company is excited to test the potential of an extension to the northwest.

The Company plans to complete an aggressive, lithium focused exploration program across the Golden Giant project during the 2023 field season. Work will include: Lithium focused geophysical work across the Kali East Block

A comprehensive till sampling program

Full suite geochemical grab sampling across the property

Detailed structural modelling utilising regional data to determine potential pegmatite dike emplacements across the property

The Company will engage a full team of geologists and field technicians to complete the work during the snow-free months in the James Bay region.

The Golden Giant project comprises three packages of claims, Golden Giant East, Golden Giant West and the Kali East block, covering 18,992 hectares and is contiguous to Azimut Exploration Inc.'s Patwon project.

About QcX Gold

QcX Gold is exploring for gold and VMS style mineralization on its highly prospective and well-located properties in Quebec, Canada.
