Questcorp Mining Commences 2026 IP Survey at the North Island Copper Project

Rhea-AI Summary

Questcorp Mining (OTCQB: QQCMF) has begun a 2026 induced polarization (IP) survey at its 1,168-hectare North Island Copper Project near Port Hardy, Vancouver Island.

The 10–15 line-kilometre program by Walcott aims to refine historical geophysical targets around the Marisa Zone to generate updated chargeability and resistivity models and advance drill-ready targets ahead of potential drilling.

Positive

• 1,168-hectare project area defined
• 10–15 line‑kilometre IP survey commenced
• Historical drill intercepts: 0.078% Cu over 56.39 m
• Historical drill intercepts: 0.041% Cu over 70.71 m
• Company reports recent financings completed

Negative

• Historical data not verified by a Qualified Person
• No drill program confirmed; survey precedes potential drilling

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the "Company" or "Questcorp") is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2026 induced polarization ("IP") survey at its 1,168-hectare North Island Copper Project located near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The 10-15 line-kilometre IP program is being conducted by Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited ("Walcott") of Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The 2026 IP survey is designed to confirm and refine historical geophysical targets associated with the Marisa Zone porphyry copper system and to support the development of follow-up drill targets.

In 1992, two of five diamond drill holes completed to test a 1991 IP chargeability anomaly intersected copper mineralization, including:

• 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres (DDH92-01)
• 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres (DDH92-03)

Both intercepts were encountered within altered quartz diorite, with DDH92-03 reporting increasing copper grades at depth.

The current survey lines will follow the historical survey azimuth and will be positioned midway between the 1992 IP lines to enhance data resolution across the target area. Historical and newly acquired datasets will be integrated to generate updated chargeability and resistivity elevation models, as well as pseudosection interpretations. The objective is to improve subsurface targeting precision ahead of a potential drill program.

"The North Island Copper Project represents a compelling porphyry copper target with demonstrated historical mineralization," stated Saf Dhillon, President & Chief Executive Officer. "This IP program is a disciplined step toward refining our geological model and advancing toward drill-ready targets. With our recent financings completed, the Company is well positioned to execute its planned exploration programs while maintaining a prudent approach to capital deployment."

The Company cautions that a Qualified Person has not verified the historical exploration data referenced in this release. The presence of mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties, including NorthIsle Copper and Gold and BHP properties, is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the North Island Copper Project.

FAQ

What is Questcorp (QQCMF) doing at the North Island Copper Project in February 2026?

Questcorp has begun a 10–15 line‑kilometre induced polarization survey to refine targets. According to the company, the program will update chargeability and resistivity models to improve drill targeting ahead of potential drilling.

How large is the North Island Copper Project that QQCMF is surveying?

The project covers 1,168 hectares near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. According to the company, the IP lines will be positioned between 1992 survey lines to enhance data resolution.

What historical drill results does Questcorp cite for the Marisa Zone (QQCMF)?

Historical holes reported 0.078% Cu over 56.39 metres and 0.041% Cu over 70.71 metres. According to the company, these intercepts were in altered quartz diorite and support further targeting.

Who is conducting the 2026 IP survey for Questcorp (QQCMF)?

Peter E. Walcott & Associates Limited of Coquitlam is conducting the IP survey. According to the company, Walcott will generate updated chargeability, resistivity elevation models, and pseudosection interpretations.
