QGold hits 600 g/t Au in grab samples at Mine Centre

Summer Field Program Advances Multiple Vein Targets Toward Planned 2026 Drilling

TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q-Gold Resources Ltd. ("QGold" or the "Company") announces that its summer 2026 exploration program at the Mine Centre Gold Project returned select grab sample assays of up to 600 g/t gold and advanced multiple high-priority targets for the Company's planned diamond drilling campaign later in 2026. Completing over three field rotations from June through August 2026, the program combined geological mapping, vein tracing, prospecting, grab sampling and systematic channel sampling across targets north and south of the historic Foley Mine. Assays have been received for the first two rotations, while assays from the third rotation remain pending.

HIGHLIGHTS

Select grab samples from the Ferguson Showing returned 600 g/t, 73.4 g/t, 57.8 g/t and 44.0 g/t gold along a northwest-striking vein approximately 500 m southwest of the historic Golden Star Mine (QG-AD-032, QG-AD-030, QG-ND-153 and QG-ND-051).

Grab samples from a quartz vein approximately 1.2 km south of the historic Manhattan Gold Vein Mine returned 46.6 g/t and 34.7 g/t gold (QG-ND-040 and QG-ND-039).

Select grab samples approximately 300 m south of the Foley Mine returned 95.1 g/t and 89.8 g/t gold within the broader Vowel, Jumbo and Bonanza multi-vein systems (QG-ND-125 and QG-AD-020).

The three-rotation program generated 222 grab samples and 126 channel samples, excluding quality-control samples, and will support target ranking for the planned 2026 drill campaign (all 126 channel sample assays and the remaining third-rotation grab sample assays are pending).

QGold is integrating the assay results with new geological mapping, vein tracing and structural measurements to rank drill targets across North Foley, South Foley, Nugget, Ferguson and Pacitto. The planned drilling campaign is expected to increase drill density ar
