TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QGR) (“Q-Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged BMO Capital Markets as sole agent (“Agent”) in connection with a “best efforts” private placement offering of up to 66,666,667 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $10,000,000 (the “Offering“). Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 for 24 months following issuance; provided, however, that if at any time after four months and one day from the issuance date of the Warrants the common shares of the Company trade at $0.25 per common share or higher on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) for a period of 10 consecutive days, the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days after the Company issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.

The Units will be offered by the Agent on a “best efforts” private placement basis in each of the provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws, as well as in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to applicable exemptions under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to persons resident outside of Canada and the United States as agreed between the Company and the Agent. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) the receipt of necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering (i) to finance a remaining portion of the purchase price of the ‘Quartz Mountain’ late-stage mineral exploration project located in south-central Oregon (the “Quartz Mountain Project”) that the Company has under contract to acquire from Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”) pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated March 31, 2025 (the “Acquisition”) and, subject to closing of the Acquisition, to undertake an exploration program and engineering studies at the Quartz Mountain Project, (ii) to finance a portion of the exploration program along the Quetico Fault Zone at the Company’s project in Mine Centre, Ontario, and (iii) for working capital and general corporate purposes. For more information about the Acquisition and the Quartz Mountain Project, please see the Company’s press release dated April 3, 2025, a copy of which is available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Subject to the satisfaction of the necessary conditions, the Offering and the Acquisition are expected to close on or about September 30, 2025.

The Company has granted the Agent an option to sell up to an additional 15% of the aggregate number of Units under the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option“), on the same terms and conditions. The Over-Allotment Option will be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up until 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering. The Agent will be entitled to a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, as well the issuance of unvested warrants (“Broker Warrants”) in an amount equal to 6% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering. Each vested Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per share for a period of 60 months following the closing date of the Offering. The Broker Warrants will vest upon the earlier to occur of the Company’s closing share price on the TSXV exceeding $0.30 per share for 5 consecutive trading days and the date that is 3 years from the closing of the Offering.
