Quincy Completes NI 43-101 Report on Aurora Property
18.3 Million Lbs. of Indicated Uranium Resource Identified
Toronto, Ontario – The Board of Directors of Quincy Energy Corp.(TSX-V: QUI; OTCBB: QCYE)is pleased to announce that Greg Myers, Ph.D. has completed a National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report on the Company’s Aurora Project, located in the McDermitt Mining District approximately three miles from the Nevada border in southern Oregon. The technical report updates and recalculates, in compliance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101, a historical uranium resource calculated for Aurora by Placer Amex Corporation in 1980.
Dr. Myers has calculated an indicated resource of 17.69 million tons at an average grade of 0.0518%eU3O8, or 18.3 million pounds of U3O8, using a 0.03%eU3O8 cut-off. This compares favorably with the earlier historic (not National Instrument 43-101 compliant) resource calculated by Placer Amex of approximately 16.1 million pounds of U3O8at an average grade of 0.048% U3O8, and represents a 13.7% increase in contained pounds of U3O8. The Company has the right to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Aurora Project from Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V: EMC) as disclosed in the Company’s news release dated May 19, 2005.
The Company is currently evaluating the recommendations contained in Dr. Myers’ report, including the design of further work programs to further confirm the earlier drilling and metallurgical work completed by Placer Amex and economic evaluation of various mining and processing scenarios with the goal of bringing the calculated resource to the reserve category.
