Star Metro - Quartz Closes $4.2 Million Equity Financing

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2025 / Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM)(OTC PINK:QZMRF) ("Quartz" or the "Company") announces that it has raised proceeds of $4.2 million through the issuance of 10,000,000 units (each a "Unit"), with each Unit comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one warrant (each full warrant a "Warrant") at $0.42 per Unit. Each Warrant can be exercised to acquire one additional common share in the capital of the Company at $0.60 per share for a period of one year, and is subject to an accelerated exercise provision whereby if the Company's common shares trade at $1.00 or higher for 10 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange then the holder will have 30 days to exercise the Warrant. The financing is subject to customary TSX Venture Exchange approval. The securities were sold exempt from prospectus and registration requirements on a private placement basis. All of these securities are subject to applicable securities law resale restrictions, including a four-month hold period in Canada. No commissions or finder's fee were paid by Quartz in connection with this financing.

Of the Units sold, 1,700,000 were flow-through Units ("FT Units"), with each FT Unit comprised of one flow through share (a "FT Share") and one-half of one flow through warrant (each full flow through warrant a "FT Warrant"), were issued to the Chairman of the Company, Robert Dickinson, and his associates. The balance, 8,300,000 Units, were issued to investors including 2,400,000 Units issued to The Sutton Group Inc., an insider of the Company.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the FT Shares exclusively for drilling of the Maestro gold-silver-copper project in British Columbia, while the proceeds of the non-FT Shares will be used for exploration and general working capital purposes.

"Quartz is fully funded and is now moving forward on delineation drilling of the Prodigy discovery on our Maestro project," said Chairman Bob Dickinson. "The results from our initial two drill holes at Prodigy, announced in 2024, surpassed our expectations. Those results included 102 meters grading 2.22 g/t Au with 104 g/t Ag and 36 meters of 5.73 g/t Au with 87 g/t Ag. Early observations suggest there are multiple overlapping gold, silver, molybdenum and copper mineralizing events that resulted in multiple deposit targets across the Maestro Property. Our delineation drill program at Maestro represents potential for outsized gains, and supports Quartz's strategy of developing high demand, high value discoveries that are attractive to potential transaction partners," concluded Dickinson.

Each of the placements to Mr. Dickinson and to The Sutton Group Inc. is a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance to these related parties is exempt from the valuation requirement of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemption contained in Section 5.5(b), as the Company's shares are not listed on a specified market and from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, in that the fair market value of the consideration of the securities issued to each related party does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

About Quartz
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Quartz Mountain Resources (TSXV:QZM)(OTC PINK:QZMRF) is a well- structured public company whose successful mine-finding management is focused on discovering and transacting important-scale gold, silver and copper deposits in British Columbia. The company owns 100 per cent of the Maestro high grade gold-silver project and 100 per cent of the Jake porphyry copper-gold-silver project. Both projects are permitted by the British Columbia government for drilling activities with access to infrastructure and high potential for the development of substantial resources for significant future transactions.

Quartz is associated with Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI), a company with over 35 years of successfully discovering, developing and transacting mineral projects in Canada and internationally. Former HDI projects in British Columbia included Mount Milligan, Kemess South and Gibraltar -- all of which are porphyry deposits with current-producing or former-producing mines. Recently, Amarc Resources, an HDI associate, with funding from Freeport announced the exciting discovery of the exceptionally high grade, AuRORA gold-copper-porphyry deposit also in British Columbia. Other well-known projects with HDI involvement include Sisson and Prosperity in Canada, Pebble and Florence in the United States, and Xietongmen in China.

Quartz is committed to the advancement of important-scale, critical and essential mining assets while following responsible mineral development principles, including a mandate to employ best-practice approaches in the engagement and involvement of local communities and meeting rigorous environmental standards.

About Maestro
Quartz'sfirst ever drill test, on its Maestro Property, a maiden two-hole drill program at the Prodigy Zone, discovered exciting high-grade Au-Ag lodes, hosted within an extensive epithermal Au-Ag system. The lodes and the more disseminated precious metals, intersected by the drill holes are both hosted within a large and earlier deposited, Mo-Cu porphyry system. Quartz's second core hole, PR-23-02 intersected 102 m grading 2.22 g/t Au and 104 g/t Ag, including 12 m grading 1.23 g/t Au and 586 g/t Ag and also 36 m of 5.73 g/t Au and 87 g/t Ag. These results indicate high potential for both bulk tonnage and underground high-grade gold and silver mineralization. The next milestone towards a transaction will be delineation drilling of the new Prodigy discovery at Maestro, which is commencing.

About Jake
Mineralization at Jakeis situated within a prominent rusty coloured gossan measuring 3.5 km long by 1.5 km wide. The combination of extensive historical and recent exploration work has outlined a very expansive altered area at Jake hosting epithermal and porphyry-style sulphide disseminations and veinlets containing Cu-Au-Ag-Zn-Mo and Re. To delineate deposit targets within this large Jakemineral system for the maiden drilling program which was conducted in summer 2024, a series of modern surface exploration programs were completed in the period 2018-2023. These surveys were designed to build on very compelling historical data on the Property developed by legendary porphyry copper explorers, including Kennco, Canadian Superior, Cities Service, Placer Development and Teck Corp. Taken together this comprehensive technical database defined a significant-scale porphyry copper-gold deposit target which Quartz tested with 3,418 metres in seven 7 holes during 2024. This maiden drill program successfully discovered a new porphyry copper-gold-silver system, wide open to expansion. Upon discovery, Quartz acquired a 100% interest in mineral tenures over an entire new BC porphyry copper-gold district surrounding the Jake Property. The next milestone towards a transaction will be delineation drilling of the new Jake discovery, currently being planned to commence after Maestro delineation drilling.
