QMC COMPLETES 3D MODELING FOR THE IRGON LITHIUM MINE

North Face Software Ltd. has completed compilation of all historical data derived from past drilling and underground work and imported these data into an interactive 3-D Leapfrog model of the Irgon dike for QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. The Irgon dike is located at QMC Quantum's 100-per-cent-owned Irgon lithium mine project, within the prolific Cat Lake-Winnipeg River pegmatite field of southeast Manitoba that hosts the nearby TANCO rare-element pegmatite.

The 3-D model clearly demonstrates that to date, exploration and underground development have been only undertaken on the central portion of the dike, leaving significant potential to quickly increase tonnage as the Irgon dike is open both along strike and to depth. The 2017 channel sample locations and surface exposure of the dike are also indicated on the model. Sampling results of these surface channel cuts were listed in the company's news release of March 5, 2018.

The upcoming drilling program will confirm extensions to the strike length of the Irgon dike and test mineralization to depth below the current level of historical drilling within the dike: both of which will rapidly increase the resource tonnage above the currently reported historical tonnage of 1.2 million tons. Data received from the proposed drill program will be used in preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 report.

All historic data and recent surface geologic mapping are presented in the interactive 3-D model of the deposit, which permits the viewer to easily visualize the pegmatite, the underground workings, the 25 drill holes and to view the historic assay results of the mineralized drill intersections. This interactive model will be expanded as results from continuing and future exploration programs on the property are received by the company.

The interactive model can be viewed on the company's website. A perspective model of the Irgon dike looking toward the southwest is shown in a figure available on-line.

The company had contracted the services of North Face Software Ltd. and Inukshuk Geological Consulting to compile, analyze and interpret the historical drill data for the Irgon mine as logged in 1953/54 by the Lithium Corporation of Canada Ltd. (Manitoba Assessment Report No. 94932).

Historical resource

Between 1953 and 1954, the Lithium Corporation of Canada drilled 25 holes into the Irgon dike and subsequently reported a historical resource estimate of 1.2 million tons grading 1.51 per cent lithium oxide over a strike length of 365 metres and to a depth of 213 metres (Northern Miner, Vol. 41, No. 19, Aug. 4, 1955, page 3). This historical resource is documented in a 1956 assessment report by B.B. Bannatyne for the Lithium Corporation of Canada (Manitoba assessment report No. 94932). This historical estimate is believed to be based on reasonable assumptions and neither the company nor the qualified person have any reason to contest the document's relevance and reliability. The continuing detailed channel sampling and a subsequent drill program will be required to update this historical resource to current National Instrument 43-101 standards. Historic metallurgical tests reported an 87-per-cent recovery, from which a concentrate averaging 5.9 per cent Li2O was obtained.

During this historical 1950s work program, a complete mining plant was installed on site designed to process 500 tons of ore per day and in addition, a three-compartment shaft was sunk to a depth of 74 metres. On the 61-metre level, lateral development was extended off the shaft for a total of 366 metres of drifting, from which six crosscuts transected the dike. The work was suspended in 1957, awaiting a more favourable market for lithium oxides and at that time the mine buildings were removed.

The mineral reserve cited above is presented as a historical estimate and uses historical terminology which does not conform to current NI 43-101 standards. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Although the historical estimates are believed to be based on reasonable assumptions, they were calculated prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101. These historical estimates do not meet current standards as defined under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101; consequently, the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
