QMX QMX Gold Corporation

QMX Gold Corporation (“QMX” or the “Company”) (TSX:V:QMX) reports that it has temporarily suspended fieldwork activities on its Val d’Or East projects in line with the Quebec Government’s guidance to suspend all non-essential businesses. This suspension of activities is expected to be in effect until at least April 13, 2020.

QMX’s exploration team was prepared for this potential development and will use this period to advance 3D modelling, targeting and historical data compilation activities remotely. Following the closing of QMX’s recent equity financing (see QMX’s press release dated as of March 20, 2020) QMX is in a very strong financial position. Once the work stoppage has been lifted by the Quebec government and it is safe for our staff and consultants to return to the field, QMX will be well prepared to quickly resume its drilling activities.

In late February QMX increased its drilling activities and as a result completed its planned 14,400 metres (m) winter drilling program in Bonnefond. Drill rigs had just entered a break period and QMX was preparing to initiate an additional 6,000m exploration program to the east and west of Bonnefond. The Company has infrastructure in place to allow its team to continue working safely and remotely through this busy exploration season. QMX continues to receive assay results and will complete core logging, core cutting and restart sample shipments once the work stoppage is lifted and it is safe for QMX’s team to return to the core shack.

QMX will maintain security checks at both the company’s office and project sites during this time, following strict protocols in order to minimize the risk to staff of becoming infected with the COVID-19 virus.

QMX is currently performing an inventory of all available masks, Tyvek suits, gloves, soaps, gels and other medical supplies on its sites and will provide this inventory to the local hospitals should any shortages occur.
