QUARTZ UPDATES DRILLING PROGRESS AT PRODIGY
GOLD-SILVER DISCOVERY ON ITS MAESTRO PROPERTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Contracts Dr. Farhad Bouzari, Economic Geologist and key member of the Minerals Deposit Research
Unit at the University of British Columbia to complete detailed scientific studies on the geology, alteration and
mineralization being encountered at Maestro
August 11, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QZM, OTCQB: QZMRF)
(“Quartz”, or the “Company”) is pleased to report 2,476 meters of drilling in 5 core holes have been completed to
date as part of the Company’s Phase 3 diamond drilling program at its Prodigy gold and silver discovery located
within its Maestro Property in central British Columbia. Two additional holes will be drilled within Phase 3, bringing
the total amount drilled in the Phase 3 program to approximately 3,700 meters.
Assay results from all seven Phase 3 drill holes (PR25-07 through PR25-13) will be announced as soon as they are
received and compiled, likely in mid-September. To date, 694 split core samples have been sent from site to the
ALS Canada laboratory in Vancouver for assaying. Following receipt and review of Phase 3 assay results, multiple
sequential phases of drilling are planned during the remainder of 2025.
“With funding of $3,000,000 currently on hand our focus is on efficiently and effectively progressing delineation
drilling of the Prodigy discovery on our Maestro Property. Our technical observations indicate there are several
overlapping gold (“Au”), silver (“Ag”), molybdenum (“Mo”) and copper (“Cu”) mineralizing events that have
resulted in potential for multiple high-grade vein and bulk tonnage style precious metal deposit targets across our
Maestro Property. Sequential drill programs are planned during 2025 to progress Quartz’s mission to discover and
transact high value gold silver -copper projects that are coveted by major operator s,” said Quartz Chairman Bob
Dickinson.
Quartz is also pleased to announce contracting Dr. Farhad Bouzari as an advisor to the Company. Dr. Bouzari will
complete detailed scientific studies at the Maestro site on the geology, alteration and mineralization, encountered
in Phases 1, 2 and 3 of Quartz’s drilling programs. Dr. Bouzari is a key member of the Minerals Deposit Research
Unit at the University of British Columbia and an economic geologist with more than 20 years of global experience
in porphyry copper and allied deposit systems. His proven track record of leading research and applied projects
across BC, Alaska, South America, and the Tethyan Belt will provide Quartz techniques to optimize exploration
decision-making and actionable insights to effectively advance drilling of the Prodigy discovery along with focused
exploration of the entire Maestro Property.
Phase 3 drilling was proceeded by Phase 2 drilling, consisting of 3,255 meters in 4 holes (PR25-03 through PR25-
06) (see Quartz News Release dated June 24, 2025) and Phase 1 drilling, which made the Prodigy discovery,
consisting of 1,446 meters in 2 holes (PR23-01 through PR23-02) (see Quartz news release dated April 09, 2024).
Drill results reported to date have succeeded in discovering a significant new and highly mineralized system at
-2-
Prodigy. Gold and silver mineralization in multiple zones has been cut by the assayed and reported drill holes from
near surface, laterally for approximately 325 meters and to vertical depths of over 650 meters.
At Prodigy, large volumes of multiple styles of brecciation have undergone extensive rock alteration and quartz -
ankerite veining. Rock alteration, predominantly green sericite, which is associated with Au-Ag mineralization, has
created a significant magnetic low due to the destruction of magnetite within the altered and mineralized area.
This prominent magnetic low has an “Eye” shaped geometry indicating a substantial mineral system to be
delineated through additional drilling. The focus of the current Phase 3 drill program is to continue delineation
drilling aimed at expanding the extent of the mineralized system. The location of Phase 1, 2, and 3 drill holes
within the Prodigy “EYE” target area are depicted on Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Figure 1. Prodigy “EYE” Drill Hole Plan Map.
The Maestro Property completely covers the large Lone Pine molybdenum deposit and Quartz’s targeted ,
epithermal precious metals systems like Prodigy that potentially occur up to several kilometers outboard of
Lone Pine. Quartz’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 drill holes, combined with results from ten historical core holes
drilled in the period 2007 -2011 by a past operator have intersected a high-grade Au-Ag lode and also high -
grade Ag-Au veins, with both styles of mineralization hosted within an extensive epithermal Ag-Au system.
-3-
The lode and veins along with the more bulk-style disseminated precious metals that have been intersected by the
drill holes are all hosted within and around a large Mo-Au-Cu porphyry system. Together, these results represent
the discovery of a substantial new Au -Ag system at Maestro with high potential for both bulk tonnage and
high-grade mineralization.
The Maestro Project is one of two key projects being developed by Quartz in British Columbia. The Maestro
delineation drill programs follow initial scout drilling at the Company’s Jake Project located north of Smithers. That
drilling succeeded in making a new porphyry copper-gold discovery and acquisition of an entire new B.C. porphyry
copper-gold district surrounding the Jake Property (see Quartz news release dated January 14, 2025).

About Maestro
The Maestro Project, located in central British Columbia, 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. Covering 2,309 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 (see Quartz news release March 19 th, 2024, and NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary
Economic Assessment, P&E Mining Consultants Inc., January 21st, 2011).
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 One, two-hole drill program at the Prodigy Zone, discovered 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, PR-23-02 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. Drill results to date indicate high potential for both bulk tonnage and underground high-grade gold and silver
mineralization. Delineation type drilling of the new Prodigy discovery at Maestro, is underway. It is expected that
drilling at Prodigy will be consistently advanced in multiple stages during 2025. Mineralization remains open in
multiple directions and at depth, promising significant further potential.
About Jake
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
-5-
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 explorers, including Kennco, Canadian
Superior, Cities Service, Placer Development and Teck Corp. Taken together this comprehensive technical database
defined a significant-scale porphyry copper-gold deposit target which Quartz tested with 3,418 meters of drilling
in seven 7 holes during 2024. This maiden drill program successfully discovered a new porphyry copper -gold-
silver system, wide open to expansion. Upon discovery, Quartz acquired a 100% interest in mineral tenures over
an entire new BC porphyry copper -gold district surrounding the Jake Property. The next milestone towards a
transaction will be delineation drilling of the new Jake discovery, currentl y being planned to commence after
successful delineation drilling being conducted at Maestro over 2025.
