(TSXV: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) (OTC Pink: QMCQF) (\"QMC\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the company's 100% owned Irgon Lithium Mine Project located within the prolific Cat Lake-Winnipeg River rare-element pegmatite field of South East Manitoba which also hosts Cabot Corporation's nearby Tantalum Mining Corp. of Canada's (\"TANCO\") rare-element pegmatite.The company received an extremely positive reporting of results from the recent Mobile Metal Ion (\"MMI\") geochemical orientation survey from SGS Canada. Based on the MMI results received after geo- referencing of the MMI ratio data, SGS was able to accurately identify the unexposed position of the western extension of the Irgon Pegmatite Dike.In addition, two separate strong MMI anomalies were identified: one lying north of the Irgon Dike and the other lying south of the dike. At both locations, no surface rock outcropping nor spodumene mineralization is visible. SGS has indicated to QMC that these strong MMI geochemical responses are related to buried, parallel, lithium-bearing pegmatite occurrences.QMC and SGS are extremely pleased with the initial results of MMI orientation survey and the identification of these new parallel lithium anomalies. QMC will initiate further MMI sampling across the inferred strike of these buried dikes prior to these new targets being drill tested. Both QMC and SGS believe that as these anomalies are further defined and subsequently drill tested, there is significant potential for the parallel dikes to greatly increase the resource estimate for the property.The MMI orientation survey was undertaken over the buried, western extension of the spodumene-bearing Irgon Pegmatite Dike. Soil samples were taken along a north south trend line across the strike of the Irgon Dike. Sample spacing was set at an interval of 10 meters on top of the strike projection of the Irgon Dike and expanded to 20 meters at the line extremities for background purposes. Two sampling depths were tested. Both sample depths indicated a preferred response. This initial orientation survey consisted of a total of 40 samples.Since this technique ha...
