ManitobaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2018) - QMC Quantum Minerals Corp., (TSXV: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) (OTC Pink: QMCQF) (\"QMC\" or \"the Company\"). QMC is pleased to provide an update on the company's 100% owned Irgon Mine Project located within the prolific Cat Lake-Winnipeg River rare-element pegmatite field of S.E. Manitoba, which also hosts Cabot Corporation's nearby Tantalum Mining Corporation of Canada (\"TANCO\") rare-element pegmatite.QMC Quantum Minerals has initiated the planning of a Mobile Metal Ion (\"MMI\") geochemical survey over selected target areas within the Irgon Mine Project area. MMI geochemistry is a proven advanced geochemical exploration technique known to find mineral deposits. SGS Canada Inc. (\"SGS\") is the sole provider of MMI technology. As part of the services contracted to QMC (QMC NR of May 23, 2018), SGS will provide technical support and consulting services to undertake the MMI surveySGS's MMI technology is especially well suited to detect buried mineral deposits. At the Irgon Project, it will measure the mobile metal ions (Li, Cs, Nb, Ta, Rb, Be, etc.) in a soil sample that have been released from any underlying rare-element pegmatite mineralization. These ions travel upward through the soil profile composed of unconsolidated materials such soil, till, sand, etc. Using careful soil sampling strategies, sophisticated chemical ligands and ultra-sensitive instrumentation, SGS is able to measure the concentration of these ions. The main benefits of an MMI survey are the generation of very few false anomalies and any anomalies that are identified are sharp and focused directly over the mineral deposit. The survey has excellent repeatability and low detection limits. After interpretation, MMI data will indicate anomalous target areas on which to focus the subsequent drill program.An initial orientation survey will be undertaken over known mineralization in the Irgon Dike and subsequently expanded westward along strike, to define any potential buried extensions of the dike. The MMI survey will also be utilized over the large historic lithium soil anomaly identified immediately south of Cat Lake as was defined but never evaluated by TANCO in 1978 (QMC NR of March 01, 2018).
