Highlights of the Maestro Project

The 100% owned Maestro Project, located in central British Columbia, lies adjacent to Highway 16, 15 km north of Houston and 50 km south of Smithers, providing year-round road access to the Project and nearby infrastructure including, rail, hydroelectricity, and natural gas.

Quartz’s first ever drill test, a maiden two-hole drill program at the Prodigy Zone on the Maestro Property (reported by Quartz News Release dated April 9th, 2024) 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. Notably, green sericite alteration reminiscent of deposits such as Blackwater, which is currently being placed into production near Vanderhoof plays a significant role at Prodigy. The discovery is open in multiple directions and at depth, promising significant further potential. The next milestone towards a transaction will be delineation drilling of the new Prodigy discovery at Maestro, which commenced in April 2025.

The Maestro property has a rich exploration history dating back to 1914, primarily focusing on the 110 million tonne Lone Pine Mo-Cu porphyry deposit (see Quartz news release March 19th, 2024) also located on the property. Quartz’s successful drilling was based on a target developed by its comprehensive exploration programs, including soil/silt geochemical sampling, IP geophysics, airborne magnetic surveys, hyperspectral studies and detailed relogging of historical drill core, along with assaying for gold, pulp samples derived from historical assaying of numerous core holes located across the Maestro property that had not been assayed for gold.

Latest News from the Maestro Project

In January of 2026, Quartz announced it had expanded the Maestro project area with a claim acquisition.

Quartz Mountain Expands Maestro Project with Claim Acquisition

The acquired claim comprises approximately 113 hectares immediately adjacent to the east of the current Maestro property claims. The acquisition provides important area protection by securing ground adjacent to a newly identified, multi-element soil geochemical anomaly on the Maestro Project.
The expanded land position enhances Quartz Mountain's ability to advance exploration across the broader Maestro area, which hosts geological features and a mineralization age similar to the new Blackwater Mine (Artemis Gold) near Vanderhoof.
Recent drilling at the Maestro Property (Nov. 3, 2025) has commenced delineating the Prodigy Au-Ag-Mo-Cu discovery, with 8,346 metres completed in 13 holes and a fully funded Phase 4 drill program is planned to commence in February 2026.
Bob Dickinson, Quartz's Chairman commented: "This newly acquired claim now forms part of the Maestro project area, where exploration activities have been underway to advance multiple priority targets. This acquisition is strategic to Quartz and illustrates our strong conviction in the potential of Maestro. Quartz was built with the mission to discover and transact high-value gold-silver-copper projects that are coveted by major operators and this expansion of Maestro contributes to that strategy. The potential for Maestro is significant and we are looking forward to the additional drill programs and survey results coming in 2026. Our Phase 4 drill program is planned to mobilize in early February."

In December of 2025, Quartz announced completion of a detailed IP geophysical survey at Maestro.

Quartz Completes Induced Polarization Geophysical Survey at Maestro Project, British Columbia

Peter E. Walcott and Associates Limited completed a detailed, 4.3 square kilometer induced polarization ("IP") survey over key portions of the Maestro property. The goal of the IP survey is to outline sulphide systems both near surface and to depths of up to 500 meters associated with mineralization discovered in and outboard of the Prodigy gold-silver zone and over additional important scale deposit targets on the Maestro Property.
Drilling at Prodigy has intersected three classic but integrated mineral deposit types: Epithermal Au-Ag-Mo-Cu, Porphyry Au, and Porphyry Cu-Mo or Mo-Cu.
IP surveying is widely known to be very useful in successfully outlining mineralization associated with all three of these types of mineral systems and is expected to significantly enhance effective drill targeting.
Bob Dickinson, Quartz's Chairman commented: "Quartz was built with the mission to discover and transact high-value gold-silver-copper projects that are coveted by major operators. This IP survey and upcoming drill program in 2026 are part of our focused efforts to create significant shareholder value at both the Maestro and Jake projects. The potential for these projects is significant and we are looking forward to the additional drill programs and survey results coming in 2026."

In November 2025, Quartz announced assay results from the Phase 3 drill program discovering a gold-rich porphyry system.

Quartz Drilling Intersects 123 m of 0.79 g/t AuEQ and 315 m of 0.73 g/t AuEQ Discovering Gold-Rich Porphyry System and Significantly Expanding Prodigy Mineralization

Quartz's sequential drill programs (Phases 1 through 3) at Prodigy now total 8,346 meters across 13 holes. This drilling has intersected three distinct types of mineralization which are closely integrated: Porphyry Au, Porphyry Cu-Mo or Mo-Cu and Epithermal Au-Ag-Mo-Cu.
Diamond drill hole PR25-13, the last hole of Phase 3, intersected broad intervals of Au-Ag-Mo-Cu mineralized quartz-ankerite veins and breccia bodies from shallow depths representing a high to intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineral system.
Highlight intervals from hole PR25-13 included:
From 122 m Downhole Depth:
- 123 m grading 0.23 g/t Au, 32 g/t Ag, 0.012% Mo and 0.07% Cu (0.79 g/t AuEQ) Including 45 m grading 0.26 g/t Au, 44 g/t Ag, 0.008% Mo and 0.08% Cu (0.96 g/t AuEQ)
From 369 m Downhole Depth:
- 315 m grading 0.39 g/t Au, 14 g/t Ag, 0.018% Mo and 0.04% Cu (0.73 g/t AuEQ) Including 93 m grading 0.54 g/t Au, 9 g/t Ag, 0.050% Mo and 0.03% Cu (1.00 g/t AuEQ)
Quartz plans to mobilize Phase 4 drilling in early February, 2026 to continue further systematic delineation of Prodigy, and has a treasury of $2.6 million on hand.
Bob Dickinson, Quartz's Chairman commented: "Prodigy is a very exciting precious metal discovery. Over three sequential phases our drilling has produced impressive results and geological knowledge. We have intersected three classic but integrated mineral deposit types; extensive epithermal gold and silver mineralization, a new porphyry gold discovery and porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization. Adding to the potential is our age dating of Prodigy gold-silver mineralization compares favorably to the age of the mineralizing event at BC's new Blackwater Gold Mine. We have funding in hand to start further drilling as soon as we can in early 2026."
