Forward Looking Statements
This document includes forward -looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking
words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation
statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or
production output. Forward-looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results,
performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to,
changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative
nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licences and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of resources or
reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the entity operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions
including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.
Forward-looking statements are based on the entity and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant
environments that will exist and affect business and operations in the future. There are no assurances that the assumptions on which forward-looking statements
are based will prove to be correct, or that the business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or
foreseeable by the entity or management or beyond the entity’s control. Although there have been attempts to identify factors that would cause actual actions,
events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance,
achievements or events not to be anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the entity. Accordingly, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this document are given as at the date of issue only. Subject to
any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this information the entity does not undertake any obligation
to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based.

www.qpmcorp.caSakami – Geological Setting
Opinaca Sub-Province. Alternance of paragneiss and orthogneiss. Highly metamorphosed with some
quartz veins/veinlets. Orthogneiss are white rocks with a lot of biotite. Paragneiss are greenish rocks
with actinolite. Significant gold grades are present at the contact with the La Grande sub-province rocks.
OPINACA
Transposition zone. At the contact between the Opinaca and La Grande sub-provinces. Highly
deformed unit with multiple, tight and secondary folding. Altered and highly metamorphosed. Local
presence of garnets within folded beds. Individual lithologies could be distinguished within this interval.
Apple Formation (also named Apple unit). Fine grained quartz arenite with alternating coarse clast
layers similar to a breccia that seems to represent graded bedding of the clasts. Local epidote alteration
that gives this unit a green color. This unit is uranium-gold-bearing and was explored in the past.
Felsic intrusive. Fine to medium grained, quartz eyes, feldspar and biotite and/or amphibole. The
quartz eyes often show a feldspathic alteration around them thought to be spherulites. Visible chilled
LA GRANDE
margins with a change in grain size, and the presence of elongated alteration minerals at the margins.
Banded Iron Formation (BIF). Layered unit with thin magnetite-rich beds. The top portion seems to be
extremely rich in pyrite. In outcrop, the BIF has a rusty looking cap. Measuring the dip of the beds of the
BIF could be a good indicator of the degree of deformation in the area. In core, the BIF looks like a
massive sulphide horizon.
Massive sulphide marker. Centimetre-scale layers of fine-grained pyrite-pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite
within a mafic unit. This unit could be a stratigraphic marker.
Basal mafic unit. Outcrops present surface alteration with small cavities with interpreted pillow lava
and breccia textures. Green, fine grained with quartz-calcite veinlets. Greenschist to amphibolite facies.
Contains a few percent of disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite.
