Q Precious and Battery Metals Mobilizing Diamond Drill La Corne South Project, Val d'Or Quebec
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTC: BTKRF) has initiated diamond drill mobilization at the La Corne South project near Val d'Or, Quebec. The company is targeting two priority geophysical anomalies, EMG-1 and EMG-2, located approximately two kilometers south of their 2024 drilling sites.
Previous drilling in 2024 yielded significant results, including:
- Hole 24LCS-01: 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 meters, with sections containing up to 4.2% copper
- Hole 24LCS-03: 1.17% copper equivalent over 7.9 meters, including sections with 2.68% copper
The new phase focuses on TDEM anomalies EMG-1 and EMG-2, potentially located within the same volcanic horizon. First Class Diamond Drilling Inc., which successfully completed the first three drill holes in 2024, will continue the drilling operations. The program includes access to 5 additional target areas along a two-kilometer corridor.
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTC: BTKRF) ha avviato la mobilizzazione dei trapani a diamante presso il progetto La Corne South vicino a Val d'Or, Quebec. L'azienda sta mirando a due anomalie geofisiche prioritarie, EMG-1 ed EMG-2, situate a circa due chilometri a sud dei loro siti di perforazione del 2024.
Le perforazioni precedenti nel 2024 hanno prodotto risultati significativi, tra cui:
- Foro 24LCS-01: 0,83% equivalente rame su 25,45 metri, con sezioni che contengono fino al 4,2% di rame
- Foro 24LCS-03: 1,17% equivalente rame su 7,9 metri, inclusi settori con 2,68% di rame
La nuova fase si concentra sulle anomalie TDEM EMG-1 ed EMG-2, potenzialmente situate all'interno dello stesso orizzonte vulcanico. First Class Diamond Drilling Inc., che ha completato con successo i primi tre fori nel 2024, continuerà le operazioni di perforazione. Il programma include l'accesso a 5 aree target aggiuntive lungo un corridoio di due chilometri.

Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp (CSE: QMET, OTC: BTKRF) hat die Mobilisierung von Diamantbohrungen im Projekt La Corne South in der Nähe von Val d'Or, Quebec, eingeleitet. Das Unternehmen zielt auf zwei prioritäre geophysikalische Anomalien, EMG-1 und EMG-2, die sich etwa zwei Kilometer südlich ihrer Bohrstandorte 2024 befinden.
Frühere Bohrungen im Jahr 2024 lieferten bedeutende Ergebnisse, darunter:

- Bohrloch 24LCS-03: 1,17% Kupferäquivalent über 7,9 Meter, einschließlich Abschnitten mit 2,68% Kupfer
Die neue Phase konzentriert sich auf die TDEM-Anomalien EMG-1 und EMG-2, die möglicherweise im selben vulkanischen Horizont liegen. First Class Diamond Drilling Inc., das erfolgreich die ersten drei Bohrlöcher im Jahr 2024 abgeschlossen hat, wird die Bohrarbeiten fortsetzen. Das Programm umfasst den Zugang zu 5 zusätzlichen Zielbereichen entlang eines zwei Kilometer langen Korridors.
- Successful 2024 drilling results with significant copper mineralization (up to 4.2% Cu)
- Access to multiple new drilling targets with approved permits
- Expansion of exploration area with two new promising geophysical anomalies
- True widths of mineralization not yet determined
- Hole 24LCS-02 returned no significant results
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2025) - Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. (CSE: QMET) (FSE: 0NB) (OTC Pink: BTKRF) ("QMET" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that mobilization of a diamond drill is now underway on the La Corne South project located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. The company recently completed new access routes and drill pads for coring and sampling of two priority geophysical targets as determined by the company's exploration team.
First Class Diamond Drilling Inc. has been contracted to undertake diamond drilling on the La Corne South project. First Class Drilling successfully completed the first three drill holes on the project in 2024, and QMET is delighted to have them continue with the 2025 drilling.
Diamond drilling of TDEM and magnetic anomalies in 2024 was successful at intercepting significant massive and disseminated sulphides containing copper, silver, zinc, and gold. This next phase of drilling on the La Cone South is designed to test similar geophysical anomalies approximately two kilometres south of the 2024 drilling. A permit amendment has been approved to allow access to these new target areas. In particular, TDEM anomalies EMG-1 and EMG-2 have been targeted for diamond drill testing. Maxwell Plate Modeling of these anomalies using Mircomine software indicates that EMG-1 and EMG-2 may be located within the same volcanic horizon that strikes generally north to northwest and dips to the east, with EMG-1 being at depth beneath EMG-2 (see inserted figure).

Diamond drilling of TDEM and magnetic anomalies in 2024 was successful at intercepting significant massive and disseminated sulphides, including the following (previously released January 20, 2025, and September 9, 2024):
Hole 24LCS-01
- 102.15 metres to 127.6 metres downhole depth,
- 122.75-123.3 –
4.2% copper,4% zinc, 0.17 ppm gold, and 30.3 ppm silver - 123.3-123.85 –
1.9% copper,3.17% zinc, and 14.7 ppm silver - 123.85-124.4 –
0.79% copper,1.3% zinc, and 7.33 ppm silver - 125.5-126 –
2.61% copper
Hole 24LCS-03
- 104.85 metres to 112.75 metres downhole depth, 7.9* metres of
- 108.75-109.75 –
2.68% copper, and 23.45 ppm silver - 110.2-111.4 –
2.66% copper, and 24.05 ppm silver
*True widths of mineralization have not yet been determined
Hole 24LCS-02 did not return significant results from core sampling.
The company's exploration team is very excited to begin drill testing of the two strong geophysical targets at EMG-1 and EMG-2. The successful interception of massive and semi-massive sulphide bodies with significant mineral content at holes 24LCS-01 and 24LCS-03 bodes well for these similar style targets at EMG-1 and EMG-2.
The existing drill permit also allows for road access and multiple pad construction to 5 other target areas that were delineated from the geophysical surveys, along a two kilometre corridor extending northwest from EMG-1 to the area tested in 2024 at EMG-6 (image inserted below). Drilling could proceed at these other geophysical targets following successful testing at EMG-1 and EMG-2.
Explo-Logik Inc, located in Val d'Or, is managing this phase of exploration including core logging and sampling at their facility. The first phase of drill testing the massive and semi massive sulphide mineralization at holes one through three totalled 278 samples of core from three holes. Core was directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec. The samples underwent multi-element analysis process that uses 4-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and analysis for gold, platinum, and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and control Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards, or duplicates at one per every 10 samples. The Phase 2 Drill Program is now expected to commence next week.
