QGold Resources Taps SLR Consulting to Propel Quartz Mountain Gold Project Through Development Pipeline

Strategic Environmental Partnership Strengthens Path to Production

Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (TSXV: QGR; OTCQB: QGLDF; Börse Frankfurt: QX9G) has brought on SLR Consulting, a Portland-based environmental and permitting specialist with two decades of regional expertise, to guide its flagship Quartz Mountain Gold Project through critical permitting and baseline assessment phases. The decision reflects the company’s commitment to advancing this significant southern Oregon gold asset toward active development.

The partnership represents a decisive step forward for a project that has demonstrated substantial economic potential. Following the publication of the Mineral Resource Estimate in September 2025, the 50-million-tonne indicated resource base signals a deposit suitable for conventional open-pit mining extraction methods. The resource base encompasses 1.543 million ounces of gold at 0.96 grams per tonne alongside 2.049 million ounces of silver at 1.27 grams per tonne. The inferred resource category adds further upside, with approximately one hundred forty-eight thousand ounces of gold at 0.77 g/t and 135,000 ounces of silver within an additional 5.992-million-tonne inventory.

Environmental Expertise Meets Regulatory Navigation

SLR Consulting’s appointment underscores QGold’s strategic focus on efficiently navigating Oregon’s permitting landscape. The firm brings established relationships with state regulators and federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, positioning the company to move through environmental review processes with greater predictability.

“Partnering with SLR Consulting gives us credible local expertise at a critical juncture,” stated Peter Tagliamonte, President and CEO. “Their track record in managing complex mine permitting within Oregon’s regulatory framework directly supports our timeline and our commitment to responsible development.”

The engagement scope encompasses environmental baseline data collection, comprehensive permitting strategy formulation, stakeholder engagement coordination, and regulatory liaison work. These workstreams typically define the pace at which development-stage projects transition to construction readiness.

Resource Base Positions Project for Scaled Development

Acquired from Alamos Gold Inc. in October 2025, the Quartz Mountain deposit sits within a historically productive mining district offering robust infrastructure connectivity. The project’s scale—anchored by the 1.543-million-ounce indicated gold resource—positions it as a material development opportunity for the emerging mid-tier exploration sector. The parallel initiation of preliminary economic assessment work provides financial feasibility context as permitting progresses in parallel.

The technical validation underlying the Mineral Resource Estimate was conducted by Fred Brown, P.Geo., and Dr. Andreas Rompel, Vice President of Exploration, both designated as qualified persons under National Instrument 43-101 standards.

Company Positioning and Strategic Focus

Q-Gold Resources operates as a North American-focused mineral development company with portfolio assets spanning Oregon and Ontario. The Quartz Mountain project represents the company’s flagship development priority, with supporting exploration assets including the Mine Centre Gold Project in Canada. The company’s capital allocation strategy prioritizes disciplined advancement of near-term production opportunities across mining-friendly jurisdictions offering established permitting frameworks and infrastructure support.
