QMX Gold Enters Into Purchase and Sale Agreement With Respect to Its Rouyn-Noranda Properties for Gross Proceeds of $5 Million

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/14/12 -- QMX GOLD CORPORATION (TSX: QMX)(OTCQX: QMXMF) ("QMX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that pursuant to the Letter of Intent announced on May 18, 2012, it has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement"), dated September 12, 2012 with Druk Capital Partners Inc. ("Druk") (TSX VENTURE: DRU.P) to sell its base metals camp in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec (the Property") to Druk, for gross proceeds in the amount of $5 million and for 7,000,000 common shares Druk at a deemed price of $0.25 per share (the "Transaction") (See Press Release dated May 18, 2012). The Transaction will not affect the 100% owned Lac Pelletier property of QMX.

The Transaction will constitute a qualifying transaction for Druk, as such term is defined by the TSX Venture Exchange and accordingly, closing of the Transaction is scheduled to occur on or before September 21, 2012, and remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

QMX believes the benefits of the Transaction are as follows:

--  Increases the cash position of QMX to move the Snow Lake Project
    forward.
--  Brings the exploration potential of the mineral-rich Rouyn-Noranda
    properties to the near- term as the exploration efforts by Druk ramp-up
    as the Property will become the qualifying property of Druk.
--  Provides QMX the opportunity to participate in the growth of an
    independent junior exploration company by retaining approximately 16%
    ownership of Druk upon closing of the Transaction and completion of
    Druk's qualifying transaction.

The project in Rouyn-Noranda, which covers approximately 728 square kilometers, was originally added to the Company's portfolio of properties in 2004 when the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Noranda Inc. QMX acquired rights to the Property in April 2011 when it completed an agreement with Xstrata Canada Corp. (see Press Release dated April 5, 2011). The mining camp had historically produced gold and other base metals. QMX considers the Transaction to be a positive move for both companies as it furthers the development of the Rouyn-Noranda property while allowing QMX to refocus its Quebec based exploration efforts on its other properties located in the Val D'or Region of Quebec.

Francois Perron, President and CEO of QMX commented on the Agreement: "I am pleased to be strategically partnering with Druk, which we believe will allow for the rapid mobilization of exploration efforts in Rouyn, while allowing QMX to advance on its core priorities as well. Entering into this agreement with Druk is an important strategic move for the future of QMX. The structure of the deal is such that it will still allow QMX to participate in the exploration upside of the property, which we continue to believe is impressive, yet it allows us to move forward in our goal of getting the Snow Lake project closer to production."

Pursuant the Agreement, Druk will acquire 100% of the Company' rights, titles and interests to and in the Project by:

--  Paying Alexis the aggregate gross sum of $5 million in cash upon closing
    Transaction; and
--  Issuing to QMX 7,000,000 common shares of Druk at the deemed price of
    $0.25 per share, which shall be released to QMX upon completion of
    certain conditions set out in an escrow agreement to be entered into
    between the parties and in accordance with the policies of the TSX
    Venture Exchange.

Provided that QMX retains a 10% equity interest in Druk on an undiluted basis, Druk shall grant QMX the right to maintain its pro rata interest in the securities of Druk in any future financing completed by Druk in which QMX may be legally entitled to participate following the Transaction and shall maintain the right to nominate one person member of to the board of Druk. Should the Company' equity interest in Druk at any time fall below 10% (on an undiluted basis), the foregoing rights shall immediately cease and be of no further force and effect. Upon closing of the Transaction, Druk has agreed to maintain the continuity of the operations in Val d'Or, Quebec by making offers to employ several current employees of QMX who have an intimate working knowledge of the Property. In addition, in accordance with the Agreement, the parties shall enter into a pooling agreement upon closing, which will contain certain restrictions on the Company's right to sell the Druk shares and shall provide that the Company will vote its Druk shares in accordance with the reasonable recommendations of management of Druk at any of its annual general or special meetings of shareholders.
