Abstract generation in progress

QGold Resources has taken a crucial step forward in the development of its flagship Quartz Mountain Gold Project by partnering with SLR Consulting, an environmental and permitting specialist based in Portland, Oregon. This collaboration signals the project’s progression from exploration into the permitting and environmental assessment stage.

Strategic Partnership Strengthens Project Timeline

The decision to engage SLR Consulting represents a meaningful acceleration toward development. With over two decades of experience in Oregon’s mining regulatory landscape, SLR brings established relationships with state and federal agencies—including the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and the U.S. Forest Service—that will be essential for navigating complex approval processes.

According to Peter Tagliamonte, President and CEO of QGold, “partnering with SLR provides the technical expertise and local regulatory knowledge needed to advance this significant gold asset responsibly.” The firm’s scope includes environmental baseline data collection, permitting strategy development, and coordination with relevant authorities overseeing the project.

Resource Base Supports Development Viability

The Quartz Mountain Gold Project, located in southcentral Oregon’s historically productive mining district, demonstrates substantial mineral potential. The most recent resource estimate includes:

Indicated Resources:

1,543,000 ounces of gold at 0.96 g/t
2,049,000 ounces of silver at 1.27 g/t
Contained in 50.002 million tonnes

Inferred Resources:

One hundred forty-eight thousand ounces of gold at 0.77 g/t
135,000 ounces of silver at 0.70 g/t
Contained in 5.992 million tonnes

The deposit’s characteristics make it amenable to conventional open-pit mining methods, supporting the economic feasibility outlined in the company’s preliminary economic assessment.

Clear Pathway Forward

QGold acquired the project from Alamos Gold in October 2025, and the initiation of permitting follows the publication of a comprehensive technical report and mineral resource estimate dated September 26, 2025. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure access and a mining-friendly regulatory environment, positioning it as a significant development opportunity within QGold’s portfolio.

With SLR’s environmental and regulatory expertise now engaged, the company is well-positioned to meet environmental requirements and advance toward production in the coming phases of project development.
