Quincy Completes Phase I Drilling Program at

Seven Troughs, Nevada

Toronto, Ontario – The Board of Directors of Quincy Energy Corp.(TSX-V: QUI; OTCBB: QCYE) reports that the Company has completed a 7,700 foot (2,348 m) reverse circulation drilling program at its Seven Troughs gold project located in Pershing County, Nevada.  The holes ranged from 755 to 1305 feet in depth and averaged 1100 feet, Completion of this program satisfies the Company’s firm commitment to spend USD $500,000 by September 1, 2005 under a lease agreement with Newmont Capital Limited dated March 1, 2004. Further details of the mineral leases covering the Company’s acquisition from Newmont Capital of 349 patented and unpatented mineral claims comprising the Seven Troughs Property are provided in the Company’s news release dated January 26, 2004.  

Seven reverse circulation drill holes were completed as follows:  four holes in the Coalition mine area, one hole in the Badger Hill area, and two holes in the Fairview mine area.  Reverse circulation chips were collected at the drill site in five foot intervals under the supervision of Gregory Myers, Ph.D.  Samples were then trucked to the Reno, Nevada laboratory of BSI Inspectorate for fire assay analysis of gold and silver, and 30 element geochemical analyses by ICP.  Check assays were completed on selected duplicate samples.  A second split from the coarse reject and a second split from the pulp were prepared and analyzed.  All final assays have now been received from the lab.

The Seven Troughs district is underlain by a bi-modal suite of Mid-Miocene basalt and rhyodacite.  Gold mineralization is hosted within altered volcanic rocks and quartz veins.  A complex network of northerly striking normal faults controls the alteration and mineralization associated with the volcanic system. While a large area measuring approximately 5 miles (8 km) long and 2.5 miles (4 km) wide has been variably altered by shallow level hydrothermal solutions dominated by the presence of clay, historic mining focused on the shallow (less than 500 foot depth) high grade but spotty, auriferous portions of quartz veins.  The Company’s recently completed drilling was designed to: a) test the up and down dip extensions of the bonanza gold grades encountered at the Coalition mine; b) test the area north of the Badger workings beneath a hillside displaying widespread argillic alteration and numerous histo ric but shallow workings, and c) test the potential for a northerly extension of the quartz vein mineralization worked at the Fairview mine.

Coalition mine area:  Drilling intersected extensive zones of sericite altered volcanics with intervals of strong pyrite and silicification.  A strong argillic overprint has destroyed most of the sericite.  Minimal quartz veining was intersected.  Drillholes QGST-1, 2, and 3 tested the updip extension of the Coalition veins and did not intersect mineralized quartz veining.  The best gold values occurred in the pyritic zones with the highest assay being 140 ppb gold.  QGST-4 collared above the main Coalition Mine and intersected four mineralized horizons, both pyritic zones in the rhyodacite and small quartz veins.  The best interval intersected in this drillhole was 819 ppb from 845 to 850 feet.  Diking was strong in the drillhole and some of the mineralization and alteration is spatially associated with these dikes.  The Coalition Hangingwall Vein projection was "diked o ut".  Trace elements indicate a well zoned alteration system is developed in the Coalition area will help target the extensive pyrite hosted mineralization.

Badger area:  Drillhole QGST-5 tested the northern extension of the Badger Hill zone.  This area appears to be a separate hydrothermal cell from the Coalition zone.  Strong chlorite-pyrite alteration with an argillic overprint was encountered in the drillhole, with increasing alteration intensity near dacitic dikes.  Anomolous gold is spatially associated with several of the dikes.  The best gold assay (563 ppb) occurred from 1055 to 1060 feet in a rhyodacite with secondary orthoclase and chlorite.

Fairview mine area:  Two drillholes, QGST-6, 7, were completed in the Fairview area.  The drillholes attempted to test the northern projection of three vein zones.  The holes were collared at shallow angles in order to cross all the vein target zones but drooped dramatically, missing two of the vein projections.  The main Fairview structure was intersected but failed to return interesting gold values.  The best interval in these holes was 214 ppb, occurring in chlorite-pyrite altered rhyodacite at a dacitic dike margin.

Drilling results indicate an interesting low-grade, bulk mineable target exists in the extensive pyrite bearing zones.  Trace element geochemistry and alteration zoning will assist in the definition of mineralized cells guiding future drilling programs.  Structural complications and the high density of dikes continue to make the evaluation of the high grade veins difficult.  The Company is currently reviewing the results of this short drilling program and will evaluate what options are available for this project including the solicitation of offers for joint venture by outside parties.

Exploration on the Seven Troughs property is under the supervision of Dr. Art Ettlinger, P. Geo., the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
