Quarterback Reports Twin Project Grab Sample Assays with up to 1,220 gpt Gold
Quarterback Reports Grab Sample Assays from
Twin Project with up to 1,220 Grams per Tonne Gold
VANCOUVER, BC / January 30, 2026 / Quarterback Resources Inc. (CSE: QB; Frankfurt: H89)
("Quarterback" or the “Company” ) is pleased to provide an update on the results from its
Twin Gold Project Phase I exploration program. The principal objectives of the program were
to complete additional geochemical rock sampling from the Takla-Rainbow mineralized gold
zone and additional logging and sampling of historic drill core located on the property in
order to further delineate the extent of gold mineralization.
Substantial exploration work was previously completed on the Twin Gold Project, including
109 drill holes totalling 21,878 metres. This work has resulted in the discovery of more than
15 zones of known mineralization representing three styles, namely high -grade gold-quartz
veins, alkalic-related gold mineralization, and alkalic-porphyry copper-gold mineralization.
Historical drilling on one of these 15 mineralized zones, the Ta kla-Rainbow Zone, has
indicated the presence of anomalous gold mineralization, including Drill Hole TR13 -88,
which returned 22.52 metres grading 2.26 ppm gold, 2.15 ppm silver, and 0.19% copper from
68.00 to 90.52 metres, and Drill Hole DDH -24 which tested t he zone 130 metres to the
northwest, and returned 131.98 metres grading 1.32 ppm gold and 0.78 ppm silver. The
former drill hole was terminated due to extreme winter weather despite still b eing in
mineralization at 90.52 meters.
In 2024, Quarterback Resources re -logged three historic drill holes at the Takla -Rainbow
Zone and completed infill sampling in these holes to better evaluate the alkalic-related gold
mineralization. Additional infill sampling was completed in 2025, for which results are
pending.
The recently completed Phase I exploration program included a total of ten grab samples
from the Takla-Rainbow Zone to assess the extent of surface gold mineralization (See Figure
1 and Figure 2). The assay results from these samples are:
Sample Number Gold (gpt) Silver (gpt) Copper (ppm)
F484951 0.246 0.91 603
F484952 0.515 0.72 263
F484953 0.126 0.62 234
F484954 0.098 0.21 26.6
F484955 0.057 0.81 949
F484956 0.257 0.54 14
F484957 4.280 11.20 14,200
F484958 1.635 6.26 941
F484959 1,220.000 1,500.00 742
F484960 1.070 2.44 17
The highlight of the results is sam ple F484959, a 2.39-kilogram sample that assayed 1,220
grams per tonne gold and 1,500 per tonne silver , along with 5.05% lead and highly
anomalous tellurium (>500 ppm) and bismuth (278 ppm) . The sample was a grab sample
from float or possible subcrop near a historic trench, approximately 350 metres on-trend to
the southeast of drill hole TR13-88. The sample consisted of weathered, iron-oxide stained,
white to glassy vuggy brecciated quartz vein material with minor visible gold and up to 5%
sulfides (pyrite, galena). (see Figure 3).
Clive Brookes, a director of Quarterback, commented, “Obviously, we are very excited about
these initial results from our exploration program. Coupled with assays from previous
sampling and drilling in the Takla-Rainbow Zone, the cumulative results suggest the potential
for bulk tonnage gold mineralization. We will have a better indication of this potential once
we analyze the results from the 177 historical drill core samples that we submitted for assay
analysis as part of our Phase I exploration program.”
Quarterback’s 2024-2025 exploration program also successfully outlined new gold in soil
geochemical anomalies, new styles of mineralization, confirmed strong historic gold assays
from drill core, and provided new insights into the geology and prospectivity of the Project.
The program also resulted in the discovery of additional areas of mineralization, as well as
extensions of previous mineralized areas.
About The Twin Gold Project
The Twin Gold project is located within the prolific Quesnel Trough in the Omineca Mining
Division of British Columbia approximately 250 kilometres northwest of Prince George,
British Columbia. The project is proximate to numerous highly prospe ctive projects ,
including:
• Northwest Copper Corp.’s Kwanika/Stardust copper-gold porphyry deposit and
copper-gold-silver skarn deposit located 500 metres south of the southern
boundary of the Twin Gold Project;
• Northwest Copper Corp. ’s Lorraine copper -gold-PGE deposit located 30
kilometres north of the Twin Gold Project;
• Centerra Gold Inc. ’s Mount Milligan copper-gold porphyry mine located 100
kilometres to the southeast of the Twin Gold Project; and
• Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. ’s Chuchi copper-gold project located between
Mount Milligan and the Twin Gold Project.
Substantial exploration work has been completed on the Twin Gold Project, including 109
drill holes totalling 21,878 metres. This work has resulted in the discovery of more than 15
zones of known mineralization representing three styles, namely high -grade gold-quartz
veins, alkalic-related gold mineralization, and alkalic-porphyry copper-gold mineralization.
Disclaimers
Readers are cautioned that the discussion about adjacent or similar properties is not
necessarily indicative of the mineralization or potential of the Twin Gold Project. The
Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any such adjacent properties.
Readers are also cautioned that grab samples are by nature selective and not representative
of the mineralization hosted on a property. These samples are not necessarily indicative of
the grade or continuity of the mineralization on the Twin Gold Project. The results above are
indicative of the presence of mineralization rather than as a measure of economic potential.
Rock samples described in this news release were sealed on site and delivered to ALS Labs
in Kamloops, B.C. for sample preparation, with analyses at ALS Labs in North Vancouver,
B.C. ALS is a certified analytical laboratory with ISO 17025.2017 certification.
Rock samples were crushed to 2 mm and a 250 -gram sub sample was pulverized with 85%
of the sample passing 75 microns (PREP -31). The sub -sample was analysed using a
combination of ALS Labs methods including Au -ICP21 for gold (30 g Fire Assay/AAA finish)
and ME-MS61 for silver, base metals and other trace elements (4 acid digestion and trace
level ICP-MS/ICP-AES analysis). For samples returning >100 ppm silver or >10,000 ppm lead
or copper by method ME -MS61, samples were assayed by method ME -OG62 (ore grade 4
acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis). For silver results >1500 ppm Ag by ME-OG62, analysis
was by method Ag-GRA21 (fire assay with gravimetric finish, 30 g sample). Sample F484959
was prepared and analysed by metallic screen protocol, suitable for samples containing
visible gold (preparation method SCR -21, PUL -32, analytical methods Au -SCR21, Au -
GRA21, Au-AA25). For this sample, 1 kg of the prepared pulp was screened to 100 microns.
The oversized fraction was analyzed in its entirety by fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au-
GRA21). The undersized fraction was homogenized and two sub-samples were analyzed by
fire assay with AAS finish (Au -AA25). The total gold content for the sample was calculating
from the results of the oversized and undersized fractions.
Historic drill results reported in this news release represent drill intercepts. Insufficient data
exists to permit the calculation of true width of the reported mineralized intervals.
