Quartz Plans October Start of Phase 5 Drilling at Maestro Gold-Silver Project, British Columbia
Announces $1.37 Million Private Placement Financing of Units and Flow-Through Units
September 24, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QZM, OTCQX:
QZMRF) (“Quartz” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Phase 5 core drilling at its 100% -owned
Maestro Project, located near Houston in central British Columbia (“BC”), is scheduled to commence on
October 20, 2026. Phase 5 is designed to expand the open-ended Prodigy discovery along its trend beyond
the current mineralized footprint . Successful results could increase the overall mineralized footprint
significantly. Four phases of drilling totaling 12,951 metres in 21 drill holes have been successfully completed
at Prodigy to date (see News Release dated July 7, 2026). The Company has drill permits in place covering 37
additional drill sites. Apex Diamond Drilling Ltd. (“Apex”) of Smithers, BC, has been contracted to conduct
the drilling program and HEG and Associates Exploration Services Inc. (“HEG”) will provide geological
services.
Quartz considers the Phase 5 drilling program particularly significant because it will test well developed
geophysical targets immediately north, south and east of the current Prodigy drill footprint. These include
strong IP chargeability-high anoma lies indicative of extensive sulphide mineralization coincident with
resistivity-high features indicative of potential mineralizing intru sions. Additional geophysical targets are
located even farther north providing substantial potential to continue the expansion of the open-ended
Prodigy mineralized system. The drilled footprint of the Prodigy system currently measures approximately
100-200 metres wide, 600 metres long and up to 500 met res deep. It comprises near-surface epithermal
gold-silver-molybdenum mineralization and higher -grade gold -silver veins, associated with an underlying
gold-rich porphyry system, and adjacent porphyry molybdenum-copper mineralization.
To finance this work, Quartz announces a non-brokered private placement of 1,550,000 Units (the “Units”),
at $0.40 per Unit for proceeds of $620,000 and 1,875,000 Flow-Through Units (the “FT Units”) at a price of
$0.40 per FT Unit for proceeds of $ 750,000, for total gross proceeds of $ 1.37 million (the “Offering”). The
current working capital position of Quartz, before completion of this financing is $2.3 million.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “ Common Share”) and one
Common Share purchase warrant (a “ Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one
additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.50 per Warrant Share for a period
of 24 months from the date of issuance.
Each FT Unit will consist of one Common Share to be designated as a flow -through common share (a “ FT
Share”) within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and one Common Share purchase
warrant (a “FT Unit Warrant”). Each FT Unit Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Flow-
Through Common Share of the Company (each, a “ FT Unit Warrant Share”) at a price of $ 0.50 per FT Unit
Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance. Units and FT Units are identical in
all respects except for the Canadian income tax incentive associated with the FT Units.

Quartz expects to use the proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to advance the drilling program at its 100%
owned Maestro Project in central British Columbia, while the proceeds from the Units will be used for general
working capital purposes.
This financing includes participation of three insiders, namely two members of the Dickinson Control Group
(“DCG”-see early warning report (“ EWR”) filed Nov . 24, 2025) and the Sutton Group Inc . (see EWR filed
January 28, 2026). Their participation constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - A Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-
101”) which in certain cases can require disinterested minority shareholder approval and valuation
requirements. However, the participation of these Insiders is exempt from the valuation requirement of MI
61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), because the Company’s shares are listed on
TSX Venture Exchange and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61 -101 by virtue of
the small aggregate size of the participation (under $2.5 million and 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization).
The DCG, which includes Mr. Robert Dickinson, a director, holds 30,803,874 common shares of the Company,
representing approximately 41.3% of issued common shares (43.9% fully diluted) , will participate in the
Offering to the extent of $ 400,000 (1,000,000 FT Units). Upon conclusion of the Offering, DCG will hold
31,803,874 common shares, and convertible securities allowing DCG to acquire an additional 5,200,000
common shares, representing an aggregate of 40.8% of the outstanding common shares, 44.6% on a partially
diluted basis. Other family and/or friends of insiders will purchase an additional 850,000 of FT Units and
50,000 Units . Sutton Group , a holder of 19,900,000 outstanding common shares of the Company,
representing approximately 26.7% of the outstanding common shares, will participate in the Offering and
subscribe for 1,500,000 Units. Upon conclusion of the Offering, Sutton Group will hold 21,400,000 common
shares, and convertible securities entitling it to acquire an additional 1,500,000 common shares,
representing 27.6% of the outstanding common shares ( 28.8% on a partially diluted basis ). Updated EWRs
will be filed on SEDAR+ upon completion of the financing.
All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring
four months and one day after closing of the Offering. Completion of the Offering is subject to approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange and is expected to complete in September 2026 . No securities are being sold to
U.S. persons.
