Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM) has added 113 hectares to its 100‑percent owned Maestro Project in central British Columbia by acquiring a contiguous mineral claim from Wild West Gold Corp. The purchase expands the company’s land package to 2,422 hectares and is being financed with 25,000 Quartz shares, a modest share‑based consideration that preserves cash for upcoming exploration.
The new claim sits directly adjacent to a recently identified multi‑element soil geochemical anomaly and is geologically linked to the epithermal gold‑silver system that has already produced high‑grade lodes at Maestro. By securing this ground, Quartz Mountain protects the anomaly and gains additional drill targets that could accelerate the definition of a commercial resource.
Management highlighted the strategic fit of the acquisition. Chairman Bob Dickinson said the move “reinforces our conviction in Maestro and positions the company to capitalize on the upcoming Phase 4 drill program, which is slated to begin in February.” The drill program is expected to test the new targets and could provide the data needed to move the project toward a definitive resource.
The transaction follows Wild West Gold’s earlier sale of its 1118893 and 1118908 claims to Stinger Resources in August 2025, but the specific claim acquired by Quartz Mountain was retained and remains available for purchase. This context underscores the continued interest in the Maestro area and the competitive landscape for high‑potential epithermal projects.
Market reaction to the announcement has been muted, with the stock trading near the high end of its 52‑week range. Analysts view the acquisition as a tactical step that supports the larger exploration catalyst rather than a standalone catalyst, and they are awaiting the results of the Phase 4 drill program to gauge the true upside of the expanded land package.
