Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCES LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, Val d’Or Quebec
March 25, Vancouver, B.C., – Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (“QMET” or the “Company”) (CSE: QMET, FSE: 0NB, OTC: BTKRF) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling is now underway on the La Corne South project located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The company completed construction of new access routes and drill pads to test two priority geophysical targets as determined by the company’s exploration team (EMG-01 and EMG-02).
Diamond drilling has now commenced to test TDEM and magnetic anomaly EMG-01 as determined from geophysical surveys completed on the property. In 2024, drilling was successful at intercepting significant massive and disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc, and gold by testing similar geophysical targets (see news release dated March 19, 2025).
Drill pads have been constructed to allow for multiple drill positons to test anomalies EMG-01 and EMG-02. The existing drill permit also allows for road access and multiple pad construction to 5 other target areas that were delineated from the geophysical surveys, along a two kilometre corridor extending northwest from EMG-1 to EMG-6. Drilling could proceed at these other geophysical targets following successful testing at EMG-1 and EMG- 2.
First Class Diamond Drilling Inc. has been contracted to undertake diamond drilling on the La Corne South project. First Class Drilling successfully completed the first three drill holes on the project in 2024.
Explo-Logik Inc, located in Val d’Or, is managing this phase of exploration including core logging and sampling at their facility. The first phase of drill testing the massive and semi massive sulphide mineralization at holes one through three totalled 278 samples of core from three holes. Core was directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the laboratory in Val d’Or, Quebec. The samples underwent multi-element analysis process that uses 4-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and analysis for gold, platinum, and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and control Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards, or duplicates at one per every 10 samples.
