(\"Uragold\") (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it's wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz, has received assay results for samples taken on the Montpetit Quarry quartz (silica) property located in the Monteregie Region of Quebec, some 40 km south of Montreal and 7 km south of Saint-Clotilde-de-Chateauguay\n\n\n \nThe corrected SiO2 average for 9 of the 10 samples assayed is 99.46 %, ranging from 99.16% to 99.67%. The corrected SiO2 average for the 10 samples assayed is 99.13%, ranging from 96.21% to 99.67%. These results validate the fact that a significant portion of the Quartz material from the Montpetit Property would make suitable feedstock for High Purity Ferrosilicon, and could be amenable to be beneficiated to Silicon Metal purity requirement and even high purity quartz sands.\n\n\n \nPatrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated, \"We are extremely happy with these results, just like our Roncevaux property, it shows that the Montpetit Quarry has great potential.\" Mr. Levasseur added, \"2015 will be an exciting year as we continue to develop Quebec Quartz's exciting high purity silica projects while developing two gold mines in the Beauce region of Quebec.\"\n\n\n \nIMPORTANCE OF QUARTZ (SILICA)\n\n\n \nQuartz (SiO2) is one of the most abundant minerals. It occurs in many different settings and in many different rock types. However, High Purity Quartz deposits with low impurities are rare and only a few deposits are suitable in volume, quality and amenability to be tailored to refining methods for specialty high purity applications. \n\n\n \nHigh Purity Quartz (HPQ), and Silicon Metal is used in large part in the aluminum industry while Ultra High Purity Quartz (UHPQ) has become one of today's key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries.\n\n\n \nGO FORWARD PLAN:\n\n\n \nThe Corporation intends to advance the development of the Montpetit project by completing the following steps during Q1 &a...
