A Quebec based junior exploration company focused on extensive and highly prospective land package on the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in the Val d’Or Mining Camp

QMX Strategy & Highlights

Strategy ▪ Systematically evaluate nearly 200km² land

package▪ Prioritize and drill test near-term targets based

on a new geological interpretation of historical data to evaluate long-term potential

Highlights▪ $3 million on the balance sheet▪ Multiple drills turning, with a significant

pipeline of drill ready targets▪ Supportive corporate shareholders including

Osisko Gold Royalties and Probe Metals

TSXV: QMX 4

Located on Highly Productive Abitibi Greenstone Belt

▪ Many of Canada’s major mining companies originated in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt

▪ 8 major gold mining camps are located along the Abitibi Greenstone Belt

▪ QMX Gold is located in the Val d’Or Mining Camp on the Southeastern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt

Abitibi Greenstone Belt is the 3rd largest gold district in the World

Multiple Prospective Targets in the Underexplored Area

Applying a systematic and methodical approach to its large land package

TSXV: QMX 6

High Priority

▪ East Zone

▪ Bonnefond South ✓ Data compilation ✓ Phase 1 drilling ▪ Phase 2 drill testing new hole orientation and Eastern extension

▪ Bevcon Intrusive ✓ Data compilation over Northern portion▪ Drill testing multiple prospective gold showings along Northwestern contact

▪ New Louvre ✓ Data compilation ▪ Phase 1 drill testing multiple prospective gold showings

▪ Southwestern Zone ✓ Phase 1 reconnaissance drilling ▪ Sigma-Lamaque extension drilling ▪ Evaluating new drill data and recent surveys

Follow-Up on Recent Successes – Bonnefond South, Southwestern Zone, and Beacon Target▪ Evaluate new discoveries, surveys, orientation results, and drill data

Strong Exploration Pipeline on Highly Prospective Land Package

TSXV: QMX 7

Upcoming Catalysts

Drilling on East Zone

▪ Bonnefond South – Phase 2 drill program

▪ Bevcon Intrusive drill programs

▪ North Shear target

▪ West extension Buffadisson/ Bevcon Mine target

▪ New Louvre – Phase 1 drill program

Evaluating Southwestern Zone, Central Zone, and Bourlamaque Zone

▪ Evaluating multiple prospective gold and base metal zones within land package and expanding knowledge base

Overall

▪ Strategic review of non-core exploration properties and assets

▪ Evaluate potential custom mill contracts for Aurbel Gold Mill

TSXV: QMX 8

East Zone – Underexplored area over a 9km Strike

The East Zone is 40km² encompassing several gold-bearing intrusions including the BonnefondSouth, New Louvre, and Bevcon Intrusive. Each target is highly prospective and spans a 9km strike length

▪ Limited exploration over past several decades across target area

TSXV: QMX 9

East Zone – Prospective Targets

Bevcon Intrusive

▪ A quartz-tourmaline vein system was mined over a strike of more than 1,000m and to a depth of 680m

▪ Drill testing Western extension

▪ Gold showings within and along the contact of the Bevcon Intrusion and shallow drilling

▪ Bevcon mine historically produced 438,000 ounces of gold grading 4.3 g/t Au from 1951 - 1965

New Louvre

▪ Initial reconnaissance drilling program underway totaling 5 holes for 2,000m over a 2.2km strike

▪ Geologically similar to BonnefondSouth with gold-bearing shear zones, and plug/sill style intrusion hosting gold mineralization

▪ Historical gold intersections over 2km strike in shallow drilling

TSXV: QMX 10

East Zone – Bonnefond South

▪ AUR Resources discovered a plug-like, tonalitic intrusion containing gold in association with shear and tensional quartz-tourmaline veining – similar to plugs on Eldorado’s Lamaque Property

▪ Historic drilling was conducted North to South, orientation was not evaluated

TSXV: QMX 11

Bonnefond South – Phase 1 Results

Evaluated Tonalitic Plug – Phase 1

▪ Consists of 9 holes for 4,331m testing vein, fault, and shear orientations to confirm thick gold intersections within the Tonalitic Plug

▪ Confirmed misinterpretation of the shear & vein orientations. Current geological model indicates the gold system remains open to East and at depth

Evaluate Eastern Extension – Phase 2

▪ 12,000m drilling campaign to test the eastern extension of the gold bearing system and secondary vein orientations within the plug

TSXV: QMX 12Results from Phase 1 testing

East Zone – Bevcon Intrusive

Evaluate 3km Strike

▪ Previous drilling was mostly shallow (less than 200m)

▪ Historical exploration drilling at the Bevcongold mine intersected gold down 1000m

TSXV: QMX 13

East Zone – New Louvre

Evaluate 2.2km Strike

▪ Previous drilling was mostly shallow (less than 200m)

▪ Gold intersection at surface and down to 1200m

TSXV: QMX 14

Southwestern Zone

New discovery on Southwestern Zone made in early 2017

▪ Encouraging gold intersections, magnetic anomaly, and shear zone continuity trending eastward from Sigma/Lamaque mines (Eldorado)

▪ Testing along trend of Triangle Deposit and Sigma/Lamaque

▪ 3D Mag Inversion anomalies untested

▪ Limited deep exploration in this area

▪ Hole 25: 1.5g/t over 118.9m; incl. 2.5g/t over 44.1m

▪ Hole 26 : 1.9 g/t over 83.8m, well distribution gold value

▪ Confirm presence of sheared mafic dykes hosting quartz-tourmaline veins

▪ Mineralization is associated with multiple sets of quartz-tourmaline veins, one sub-parallel to the previous hole direction – not adequately tested

▪ Multiple shear zones were intersected within footwall volcanic rocks

▪ Hole 29: Best hole in volcanics with 13.2g/t over 8.8m
