QC Copper and Gold Inc. (TSXV: QCCU) (OTCQB: QCCUF) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 50% ownership interest in the Roger Gold-Copper Project from SOQUEM, a subsidiary of Investissement Québec. The Roger Project, located in the Chibougamau mining district of Quebec, spans 987 hectares and is easily accessible via all-season road with access to power.

The project features an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate completed in August 2018, showing 333,000 ounces of gold-equivalent in the Indicated category and 202,000 ounces in the Inferred category. The acquisition provides QC Copper with optionality to incorporate Roger into future development plans of Opemiska or develop it as a standalone project.

To maintain and exercise the option, QC Copper will make an initial cash payment of $75,000 and subsequent share payments totaling $1.6 million over four years. The transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and expected to close by the end of October, 2025.

QC Copper announced a strategic acquisition of Cuprum Corp. and its 100% owned Thierry Copper Project in an all-share deal. This acquisition enhances QC Copper's position as a major Canadian copper developer with two large, easily accessible multi-billion-pound copper projects. The Thierry Copper Project, spanning 7,907 hectares, offers significant growth potential. The combined company will rebrand as XXIX Metal Corp., reflecting copper's atomic number 29. The Thierry project historically produced 5.8 million tonnes grading 1.13% copper and 0.14% nickel and hosts two resource-stage deposits compliant with NI 43-101 standards. The acquisition is expected to increase QC Copper's current copper resource base by 70%. Once completed, QC Copper plans to build out each asset in stages, focusing on updating the mineral resource at Thierry. The acquisition is subject to approval from TSXV and QC Copper's disinterested shareholders, with closing expected by the end of December 2024.
