QMX Gold (QMX-V) Jan 13th 2015 is pleased to announce that it has entered into a four year custom milling agreement for the Aurbel Gold Mill, Val d'Or with Gold Bullion Development (GBB-V) The agreement provides: custom milling of an initial 70,000 tonnes of stockpiled material from GBB's Grenada Mine near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec; funding for the expansion of operating capacity of the Aurbel Mill from 650 tonnes per day (tpd) to 1,200 tpd; and commencing in late 2016 and extending over three years, custom milling of up to 1,400,000 tonnes of material from open pit mining operations at GBB's Granada Mine in Rouyn-Noranda. The initial milling program in 2016 will treat approximately 70,000 tonnes of material from GBB's Granada mine near Rouyn-Noranda. The material was stockpiled as oversized blocks during prior periods of open pit production on the property. Following processing of the stockpile, GBB has committed to provide financing for the expansion of the Aurbel Gold Mill from its current processing rate of 650 tonnes per day to its full capacity at 1,200 tonnes per day. GBB will then provide up to 1.4 million tonnes of material for custom milling over the next three to four years, potentially commencing in the latter part of 2016. Capital expenditures by GBB will be offset against future treatment and processing costs and repaid over the length of the contract. The contract can be extended by the mutual consent of the parties after its four year term. The agreement is conditional upon GBB securing financing while processing of ore from the Grenada open pit mine is conditional on GBB receiving permits for open pit mining at the Grenada Mine and the permitting of tailings areas adjacent to the Aurbel Mill in order for them to receive GBB tailings. David Rigg, President and CEO of QMX Gold Corporation commented: "This custom milling agreement supports operations at the Aurbel Mill over the next four years. It will almost double our processing capacity and support exploration and acquisitions. It is a great step for QMX and should allow us to grow the Company." QMX's Aurbel Mill is located 15 km east of Val d'Or and approximately 100 kilometres from the Granada gold property. The Aurbel Mill uses conventional gravity, floatation and cyanide leach circuits to process gold-bearing material. The mill circuits will be modified to the specific metallurgical requirements of GBB to ensure optimum recoveries for gold. The Aurbel Mill was temporarily shut down in September 2015 for maintenance and cleaning to recover any gold locked in the circuits. A total of approximately 2,000 ounces of gold have been recovered during cleanup. Maintenance work is to be conducted in February and milling of the initial 70,000 tonnes can commence thereafter. Lac Herbin Mine Update The Lac Herbin Mine was closed in March 2015. Milling of surface stockpiles from the mine was completed in September. However, exploration adjacent to the Lac Herbin Portal in mid-2015 however successfully outlined near-surface mineralization in the FL zone. As a result, underground activities recommenced in September 2015. The water table is being held at the 250 meter level and further exploration is being advanced on shallow areas in the mine. Development and subsequent mining of the new areas on the FL zone was completed on January 8th, 2016 and 5,700 tonnes of ore is currently being custom milled. Additional underground exploration drilling was also successful in the delineation of additional shallow mineralization in the S1 Zone. QMX will proceed to develop and mine this zone during 2016. Mining is expected to be completed in late July with milling of this material at Aurbel provisionally schedule starting June 10th, 2016 and continuing until the end of August. The initial material from GBB will be milled prior to S1 Zone production. Production from the Lac Herbin mine is anticipated to be over 7,000 ounces in 2016.
