Toronto, Ontario, November 12, 2020: QC Copper and Gold Inc. (the "Company" or "QC Copper") (TSX.V: QCCU) is pleased to announce that it has submitted its permit application to the Quebec Government for a total of 75 drill holes to be distributed between the Springer and Perry mines with the objective of delineating a near surface, in-pit mineral resource.

The planned 20,000 metre diamond drilling program will be divided 75% - 25% between resource delineation and brown field exploration. Exploration holes, primarily focused on the adjacent Cooke-Robitaille Property, will focus on extensions of the Cooke Mine and will follow up on the new structural model recently proposed by the Company.
