FORT FRANCES, ONTARIO-(July 22, 2009) -
Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:QAU) (FRANKFURT:QX9) (
http://www.qgoldresources.com) is pleased to announce that it has received assay results from an additional 35 surface trench samples taken from the "Baseline Vein" on its over 30,000 acres of 100% owned prospective gold patents, Crown Leases and Mining Claims in the historic (1890's) gold camp of Mine Centre, Ontario. The samples were taken in an infill zone between Areas One and Two. Results from the latter areas were reported by the Corporation in a press release dated June 18, 2009. Weighted average assay values for the new 35 samples equalled 6.4 grams/ tonne (g/t) of gold and 6.9 g/t of silver. Several high-grade intervals were intersected, including two high-grade samples yielding gold values at 80.9 and 45.3 g/t and silver at 53.0 and 27.0 g/t, respectively. Five other high-grade samples yielded gold values from 8.34 to 21.60 g/t and silver from 10.0 to 44.0 g/t.
The results tabulated below represent surface samples collected from the exposed trace of the vein. A total of 130.5 kg of sample material over an average width of 0.83 m and a strike length of 16 m was collected from this section of the vein, which had been extensively blasted during an earlier program. A 1m x 1m continuous grid was established for sample control.
The results of additional infill sampling between Areas One and Two are pending. The Baseline Vein is exposed along strike in both northwesterly and southeasterly directions.
Assays were performed by ALS Chemex Division (Vancouver) of ALS Canada Ltd., using Au 30g Fire Assay AA finish for gold and Ag-0G62 Aqua Regia Digestion for silver.
President and CEO, Bruce Carruthers, reported that "An additional gold-bearing quartz vein in the vicinity of the 'Baseline Vein', the 'Lucky Linda' vein, which extends for over 1,000 metres on surface, has been trenched, sampled and sent for assay. Assay values will be reported when received. At least 5 more veins in the over 100 gold-bearing veins contained within Q-Gold's holdings at Mine Centre remain to be trenched and sampled in the upcoming Fall Exploration Program, which is now being formulated. The program will also include core drilling of additional gold targets on the Corporation's 30,000 plus contiguous acres of patents, Crown Leases and mining claims in the Archean granite/ greenstone rocks present at Mine Centre."
