FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION:
This presentation contains certain “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of QMX Gold Corporation.
Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production and mine life of the various mineral projects of QMX Gold Corporation; the benefits and the
development potential of the properties of QMX Gold Corporation; the future price of gold; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and
amount of estimated future production; costs of production; success of exploration activities; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Forward-looking information may be characterized by words such as
“plan,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking information is based
on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking information is based on the successful
completion of new development projects, planned expansions or other projects within the timelines anticipated and at anticipated production levels; the accuracy of mineral reserve and resource
estimates, grades, mine life and cash cost estimates; whether mineral resources can be developed; title to mineral properties; financing requirements; and general economic conditions. Many of these
assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of QMX Gold and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially
from results anticipated by such forward-looking information includes changes in market conditions, variations in ore grade or recovery rates, fluctuating metal prices and currency exchange rates, changes
in project parameters, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate
as anticipated, the business of the companies not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected as well as those risk factors discussed or
referred to in the annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for QMX Gold Corporation filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at under the
corporations profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although QMX Gold has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described
in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information
will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. QMX Gold undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if
circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be
encountered if the property is developed. Comparative market information is as of a date prior to the date of this presentation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This presentation does not constitute an offer to buy or an invitation to sell, any of the securities of QMX Gold Corporation. Such an offer may only be made pursuant to a registration statement and
prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and an offer to purchase and circular filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES:
This presentation uses the terms “Measured, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and
Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be
assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic
studies. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101:
David Rigg, the Chairman of the Company and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has supervised the preparation of and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation. This
presentation contains information relating to a feasibility study that includes Inferred mineral resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them
that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.

6. Snow Lake Mine – Feasibility
Recent internal review identified potential alternatives to the original
estimates set forth in the Snow Lake Mine Feasibility Study
Key potential changes include:
Enlarging the man-camp from a 50-person camp to a 100-person camp
to reflect the potential need to recruit additional workers from outside
the local area
Operating leases for equipment throughout life of mine vs. purchase
after reaching commercial production
Impact expected to increase cash costs to US$825/oz
(additional US$185/oz of cash costs or US$75mm over life of mine)
