Questcorp Mining Inc. reported assay results from its Phase 2A summer core drilling campaign at the La Union Project in northwestern Sonora, Mexico, highlighted by hole UND26-015 at Union Norte, which intersected 14.60 metres grading 0.45 g/t gold-equivalent from 1.00 metre.

The program was operated by Riverside Resources Inc. for Questcorp, which holds an option to acquire a 100 per cent interest in the project.

Hole UND26-015 included 5.60 metres grading 0.96 g/t gold-equivalent from 8.00 metres, including 4.60 metres grading 1.09 g/t gold-equivalent. A second hole, UND26-014, intersected 9.10 metres grading 0.76 g/t gold-equivalent from 1.90 metres, including 4.50 metres grading 1.18 g/t gold-equivalent and 1.50 metres grading 3.38 g/t gold-equivalent. The company stated these adjacent shallow holes intersected the mineralized feeder structure and confirmed continuity within the Clemente Formation.

At Union Mine, hole UND26-013 tested the southward extension of the historic Sproul replacement body, intersecting the horizon with anomalous lead and zinc values. At Luis Hill, an induced polarization survey outlined a chargeability anomaly extending over one kilometre along strike and 300 metres deep, coinciding with sediment-hosted gold mineralization. Initial drilling there in late 2025 returned 42 metres grading 0.3 g/t gold. Hole UND26-018 was collared above the anomaly but stopped before its 150-metre target due to drilling complications.

"Phase 2A has materially advanced our understanding of the La Union mineral system and, importantly, provided clear geological vectors for the next stage of drilling."

"With the upcoming Phase 2B program, our objective is now to systematically test continuity, scale and higher-grade portions of these systems as we advance the project toward a potentially meaningful discovery."

— Saf Dhillon, President & CEO

Questcorp is evaluating a reverse-circulation drilling contractor to improve penetration rates through faulted ground. Drilling is scheduled to resume in September 2026 after the rainy season. Phase 2B will prioritize step-out and down-dip drilling at Union Norte, deeper drilling beneath Union Mine, and testing of the Luis Hill anomaly.
