QMC COMPLETES REVIEW OF 2011 ASSESSMENT WORK PROGRAM ON IRGON LITHIUM MINE
October 18, 2017 Vancouver, British Columbia: QMC Quantum Minerals Corp., (TSX.v: QMC) (FSE:
3LQ) (OTC PINK: QMCQF) (“QMC” or "the Company") , has completed its review of the 2011
assessment work program conducted on the Irgon Lithium Mine property as reported to the Company by
D. Fogwill, P.Geo. on behalf of 101162742 Saskatchewan Ltd. Based on this review, the Company has
immediately initiated an exploration program comprised of stripping overburden to expose the Irgon Dike
completely along the strike length. Subsequently, the Company will begin a program of channel sampling
across the dike along the entire strike length of the dike designed to confirm and extend the zone of known
spodumene (lithium) mineralization. Previous operators of the site, focused their exploration and
development work solely on contained lithium ( spodumene) mineralization. The current program will
evaluate the Irgon Dike for contained lithium, cesium, beryllium and tantalum content in addition to other
elements often associated with these deposits such as, niobium, tin, and rare-earth elements (REE).
A diamond drilling program is currently being planned for a 2018 Phase 2 exploration program, which is
expected to confirm and potentially extend the zone of spodumene mineralization within the Irgon pegmatite
as well as undertake a more targeted regional drilling designed to evaluate other pegmatites within the
property identified as being prospective during the 2011 program. The mineralized zone as currently defined
by the historic development within the Irgon Dike remains open in all directions.
The focus of the 2011 expl oration program was designed to identify possible extensions to the Irgon dike
and identify other mineralized lithium -bearing pegmatitite dikes that are known to occur within the
company’s Cat Lake Property which at that point consisted of 968 ha under the Cat 2, Eryikur 1, 5, 7 and
11 mineral claims.
A three-person field crew spent 39 days prospecting the claims. A total of 17.5 kilometres of traverse lines
was intensely prospected. A total of 88 grab samples was ob tained and analyzed for 26 elements (ICP-
MS) including lithium (Li), rubidium (Rb), tin (Sn), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and beryllium (Be).
Eight of the 2011 grab samples returned with lithium values greater than 2000 ppm. Sampling also
indicated dikes with elevated rubidium ( greater than 2000 ppm), beryllium ( greater than 1000 ppm) and
tantalum (to 280 ppm) which suggests that other dikes on the property will require additional evaluation.
Samples breaching the upper detection level of the ICP-MS process utilized to acquire these ele vated
lithium, rubidium and beryllium results were not resubmitted for assay. All targets identified on the property
will be re-evaluated.
