FORT FRANCES, ONTARIO- Aug. 27, 2007-
Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:QAU)(FRANKFURT:QX9) (http://www.qgoldresources.com) announced today that Paul Whelan Mining Contractors ("Whelan") have completed the reconstruction of the Foley Gold Mine's North Shaft collar and attendant support buildings and infrastructure near Mine Centre, Ontario. Whelan is currently installing a submersible pump and permanent steel piping to the 400' level in the mine, as a prelude to pumping out water that has flooded the mine since 1930, in order to conduct underground exploration. The Foley Mine produced over 5,000 ounces of gold in the late 1890's before fire destroyed the mine and mill structures.
The Corporation also announced that it has engaged Trow Associates Inc. of Thunder Bay, Ontario to provide engineering and environmental consulting services in connection with the current de-watering of the Foley Mine.
Also, Q-Gold announced that it has initiated exploration activities on its large, new Rainy River District tract with a view toward conducting reverse circulation drilling this Fall in the glacial till to identify potential gold-bearing drill targets in underlying volcanic bedrock.
The Corporation has granted 775,000 incentive stock options to Officers, Directors and an Employee of the Corporation, pursuant to the Corporation's Stock Option Plan (approved by shareholders in June 2006). The incentive stock options will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the grant at a price of $0.13 per share.
