Quartz to Exhibit at AME Roundup’S Core Shack and Showcase Drill Core from Its Maestro Project IN British Columbia
QUARTZ TO EXHIBIT AT AME ROUNDUP’S CORE SHACK AND SHOWCASE DRILL CORE
FROM ITS MAESTRO PROJECT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
January 20, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia - Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QZM, OTCQX: QZMRF)
("Quartz" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will be participating in AME Roundup 2026
(www.roundup.amebc.ca) hosted by the Association for Mineral Exploration, taking place January 26 to 29, 2026
at the Vancouver Convention Centre East in Vancouver, British Columbia (“BC”).
Quartz Mountain will be exhibiting at the Core Shack, located in the Exhibit Hall, during the following dates and
times:
Quartz Mountain Core Shack
Location: Vancouver Convention Centre East, Booth #919
Wednesday, January 28, 2026: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Thursday, January 29, 2026: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Bob Dickinson, Quartz’s Chairman commented, “AME Roundup is an important annual event for the mineral
exploration community, and we look forward to engaging directly with industry peers, investors, and technical
professionals. We will be highlighting the recent Prodigy precious metal discovery at Ma estro where we have
intersected three classic but integrated mineral deposit types: extensive epithermal gold and silver mineralization,
a new porphyry gold discovery , and porphyry copper -molybdenum mineralization. With Quartz’s clear strategic
focus and an advancing project pipeline, AME Roundup provides an excellent opportunity to share our story, discuss
our projects, and strengthen relationships within the mining and investment community.”
The Quartz management team will be showcasing core samples which highlight the full vertical extent of the
Prodigy mineral system, ranging from near surface levels hosting significant intervals of brecciated, gold-silver rich
epithermal mineralization, to a newly discovered gold -rich porphyry system hosted within a well -mineralized
quartz monzonite stock. This exciting gold porphyry discovery was intersected in the final hole of Phase 3 drilling
(PR25-13) and underscores the important potential of the Maestro Project.
The Company’s phased drill programs at Maestro are currently focused on delineation drilling of the Prodigy Au-
Ag-Mo-Cu discovery. Quartz’s sequential drill programs (Phases 1 through 3) at Prodigy now total 8,346 meters
across 13 holes. This drilling has intersected three distinct types of mineralization which are closely integrated.
They are Porphyry Au, Porphyry Cu-Mo or Mo-Cu and Epithermal Au-Ag-Mo-Cu. Quartz plans to mobilize Phase 4
drilling in early February, 2026 to continue delineation of Prodigy and target extensions.
The Maestro Project is one of two key projects being developed by Quartz in B C. The Maestro delineation drill
programs follow initial scout drilling at the Company’s Jake Project located north of Smithers. Drilling at Jake
succeeded in making a new porphyry copper-gold discovery and acquisition of an entire new BC porphyry copper-
gold district surrounding the Jake Property (see Quartz news release dated January 14, 2025).

About Quartz
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Quartz Mountain Resources (TSXV:QZM, OTCQX: QZMRF) is a well- funded
public company whose successful mine-finding management team is focused on discovering and transacting
important-scale gold, silver and copper projects in BC. The Company owns 100% of the Maestro gold-silver project
and 100% of the Jake porphyry copper-gold-silver project. Both projects are permitted by the BC government for
drilling activities with access to infrastructure and high potential for the development of substantial resources
for significant future transactions.
Quartz is associated with Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI), a company with over 35 years of successfully discovering,
developing and transacting mineral projects in Canada and internationally. Former HDI projects in British
Columbia included Mount Milligan, Kemess South and Gibraltar all of which are porphyry -copper±gold deposits
that are currently producing or formerly producing mines. Recently, Amarc Resources, an HDI associate with
funding from Freeport, announced the exciting discovery of the high grade AuRORA gold-copper-porphyry deposit
also in British Columbia. Other well known projects with HDI involvement include Sisson, Duke and Prosperity in
Canada, Pebble and Florence in the United States, and Xietongmen in China.
Quartz is committed to the advancement of important scale, critical and essential mining assets while following
responsible mineral development principles, including a mandate to employ best -practice approaches in the
engagement and involvement of local communities and meeting rigorous environmental standards.
About The Maestro Project
The Maestro Project, located in central BC, lies adjacent to Highway 16, 15 km north of Houston and 45 km south
of Smithers, providing year -round road access to the Project and nearby infrastructure including, rail,
hydroelectricity, and natural gas. This logistical advantage, near resource supporting centres, positions the Maestro
Project favourably for potential development. Covering 2,422 hectares, it has a rich exploration history dating back
to 1914, primarily focusing on the Lone Pine Mo-Cu porphyry deposit and not the precious metals potential of the
surrounding area.
Since acquiring the property, Quartz has conducted comprehensive geochemical and geophysical surveys,
including soil/silt sampling, induced polarization geophysics, airborne magnetic surveys, hyperspectral studies,
detailed relogging of historical drill co re and assaying for gold only, 976 pulp samples derived from historical
assaying of numerous core holes located across the Maestro Property. Quartz’s first ever drill test on its Maestro
Property, a Phase 1, two-hole drill program at the Prodigy Zone, disc overed exciting high-grade Au-Ag lodes and
Ag-Au veins which are both hosted within an extensive epithermal Au-Ag system. The Au lodes and Ag veins along
with the more disseminated precious metals intersected by the drill holes are all hosted within a large and earlier
deposited, Mo-Cu porphyry system. Quartz’s second core hole, PR23-02 intersected 102 m grading 2.22 g/t Au and
104 g/t Ag, including 12 m grading 1.23 g/t Au and 586 g/t Ag and also 36 m of 5.73 g/t Au and 87 g/t Ag. These
results indicate high potential for both bulk tonnage and underground high -grade gold and silver mineralization.
Phase 2 and Phase 3 delineation -type drilling of the new Prodigy discovery at Maestro was completed in August
2025. This staged drilling is outlining a unique gold-rich porphyry system that is closely integrated with Epithermal
Au-Ag and Porphyry Cu-Mo mineral systems. It is expected that drilling at Maestro will be consistently advanced
-3-
with multiple drill program stages going forward. Mineralization remains open, promising significant further
potential and multiple other deposit targets exist to be considered.
About Jake
The 100% owned Jake Property is located 160 km north of Smithers in north central BC. It is accessible by helicopter
and close to the Minaret airstrip and historical logging roads which lead to mining support towns of Smithers, Fort
St. James and Hazelton.
Mineralization at Jake is situated within a prominent rusty coloured gossan measuring 3.5 km long by 1.5 km wide.
The combination of extensive historical and recent exploration work has outlined a very expansive altered area at
Jake hosting epithermal and porphyry-style sulphide disseminations and veinlets containing Cu-Au-Ag-Zn-Mo and
Re. A series of modern surface exploration programs were first completed by Quartz to build on very compelling
historical data on the Property developed by legendary porphyry copper explore rs, including Kennco, Canadian
Superior, Cities Service, Placer Development and Teck Corp. Taken together this comprehensive technical
database defined a significant -scale porphyry Cu -Au deposit target which Quartz tested with 3,418 meters of
drilling in seven holes during 2024. This drill program successfully discovered a new porphyry Cu-Au-Ag system,
wide open to expansion. Upon discovery, Quartz acquired a 100% interest in mineral tenures over an entire new
BC porphyry Cu-Au district surrounding the Jake Property. The next milestone towards a transaction will be
delineation drilling of the new Jake discovery, currently being planned to commence after substantially
advancing delineation drilling at Maestro.
