to lands in the province impacted by forest fires, all field-based exploration activities have been

temporarily suspended at the Ducros Project. In addition, all Ducros project personnel have safely

“The safety of our workers, contractors and service providers is our top priority”, said Richard

Dufresne, QNI’s interim CEO and Director, who continues “…we will resume our field-based

exploration work at Ducros when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we have several technical

studies and work programs already underway that don’t require field work to complete, so we

are really looking forward to updating our investors with more news in the coming weeks.”
