/CNW/ - QC Copper and Gold Inc. ("
QC Copper
" or the "
Company
")
(TSXV: QCCU) (OTCQB: QCCUF) is pleased to report 11 holes with multiple wide stacked
intersections of copper mineralization along with high gold grades near the southern edge
Opemiska's conceptual open pit. These results continue to confirm Opemiska's historical mine
results and indicate that much higher gold grades can be found near the Gwillim Fault.

Southern Springer Pit Area (near Gwillim Fault)
"Holes 223, 226 and 227 are particularly impressive and were drilled towards the south to intersect
the near-surface expressions of the southern edge of the deposit near the Gwillim Fault. Two of the
highlighted intersections in hole 223 graded over 2.0 gpt gold and three of the highlighted
intersections in hole 226 grading above 1.0 gpt Au. Our interpretation suggests that the
mineralization is intimately related to Springer's inverted fold which was produced by drag folding
along the Gwillim fault. This view is supported by the historical mine data that shows over 60% of
the assays above 10gpt gold occur less than 300 metres from the Gwillim fault," said
Charles
Beaudry
, Director and Vice President of Exploration for QC Copper & Gold, a Qualified Person, as
defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Mill Zone Area (north of Starter Pit)
Hole 231 targeted the northern extension of Vein #20 at depth, intersecting
43.5m
of 1.32% copper
and 0.57 gpt gold. Hole 231 is near hole 237, which intersected
67.5m
of 0.25% copper and 0.24
gpt gold.

QP Statement
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by
Charles Beaudry
, P.Geo and géo., Director and Vice President Exploration for QC Copper & Gold,
a Qualified Person, as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects." For the exploration undertaken by QC Copper & Gold, all assay batches are
accompanied by rigorous Quality Assurance procedures, including the insertion of standards and
blanks and verification assays in a secondary laboratory. All the core received from the drill is split in
half, bagged and sent to ALS-Global facilities in Quevillon,
Quebec
for sample preparation and then
the pulps are shipped to AlS-Global's
Vancouver
laboratory or some other location in the world for
analysis using ALS-Global's standardized ISO-compliant methods, all of which are listed in the
laboratory certificates provided with the assay results. The remaining half core along with the rejects
and the pulps returned from the laboratory are securely stored at QC Copper's facilities in
Chapais,
Quebec
. Quality Control results, including the laboratory's control samples, are evaluated
immediately on reception of batch results and corrections are implemented immediately if necessary.
All drill collars are surveyed and positioned in UTM coordinates. Collars are oriented using a
gyroscopic north-finding system and downhole deviations surveys are done with a single-shot
gyroscopic instrument at 30 to
50m
intervals. For veins oriented approximately east-west and
dipping towards the north, and drill holes oriented due south and plunging between 50 and 65 dips,
the true width of mineralized intersections are equal or greater than 80% of the quoted core length
composite intervals. This observation also holds for veins oriented northwest-southeast and dipping
towards the northeast with holes drilled towards the southwest at 225 degrees with dips between 50
and 65 degrees. However, for other drill hole orientations relative to these veins or other less
common vein orientations, the true widths of mineralized intersections are less.
