QMX Gold – Near Term Opportunities; Multiple Targets within East Zone

East Zone – Unexplored area over 9 km Strike▪ Large 28km2 target zone encompassing the Bonnefond South and Bevcon Intrusion with multiple targets

across >9km strike length

▪ Very limited recent exploration - last drill program on the Bevcon Intrusive was in 1992 and Bonnefond South was in 1999

▪ Bevcon mine produced 438,000 oz from 1940 to 1960. The gold-bearing Quartz Tourmaline vein systems were mined over a strike of >1,000m and to a depth of 680m (deposit open at depth)

▪ Historical mining/exploration focused within a narrow corridor, limited UG drilling and shallow surface drilling. A review of historical drilling highlighted prospective targets including:

• The northern part of the Bevcon Intrusion on trend of a potential eastern extension of Bonnefond South. The geological context similar to the Bonnefond South and Lamaque Project (previously Integra) with gold-bearing shear zones and plug/sill style intrusion hosted gold mineralization including – New Louvre, North Shear and 3D Mag Inversion anomalies

• Multiple areas to the south and along strike of the Bevcon/Buffadison mines – historical drilling intersected similar veining over 3km using shallow drilling – West Extension and Buffadison South

• Additional gold showings within and along the margin of the Bevcon Intrusion -re-evaluated in relation to the geometry of the gold mineralization from recent discoveries.

TSXV: QMX 10

QMX Gold – Near Term Opportunities; Multiple Targets within East Zone

East Zone – Unexplored Highly Prospective Area

AUR Resources discovered a plug-like, tonalitic intrusion 2km east of the Louvicourtmine

Mineralized veins in shear zones and within a tonaliteplug - similar to plugs on Eldorado’s Lamaque Property

The current geological interpretation indicates that the gold system remains open on strike and at depth

Result from Phase 1 drilling confirm a misinterpretation of the shear & vein orientations

TSXV: QMX 11

QMX Gold – Near Term Opportunities; Multiple Targets within East Zone

Bonnefond South Target – Re-evaluating ModelPhase I Drilling Results

Testing reinterpretation of the historical geological model

Phase I program consisted of 9 holes for 4,331m to test vein, fault and shear orientations and confirm gold distribution within the Tonalitic Plug. Results show previous drilling did not test all vein systems adequately

Phase II program will evaluate the Tonalitic Plug with an infill drilling and test the eastern extensions of this gold system

QMX Gold – Near Term Opportunities; Multiple Targets within East Zone

Bonnefond South Target – 2017 Result Phase I

QMX Gold – Near Term Opportunity; Targets on Trend of Triangle Deposit and Sigma/Lamaque Mines

Southwestern Zone – On Trend of Lamaque Property

Early 2017 QMX made a new discovery on Southwestern Zone- Testing along trend of Triangle Zone and Sigma/Lamaque (former producers)

Limited deep exploration in this area

Encouraging gold intersections on trend from Sigma/Lamaque mines

Magnetic anomaly and shear zone continuity trending eastward from Lamaque Property (Eldorado)
