Q-Gold Announces Letter of Intent

VANCOUVER, July 10, 2014

The Target Companies had combined gross sales of $6.6 million during their most recently completed year-ends and have established strong business relationships over the past 7 years with its suppliers and customers.  Although initially focused on retail sales in the Canadian market, the Target Companies have entered into the United States market in the past 2 years as more US states have legalized medicinal marijuana, increasing the market for growing equipment.  Currently 23 US states, plus the District of Columbia, have legalized medicinal marijuana. 

According to "The State of Legal Marijuana Markets", published by ArcView Market Research, the United States national legal marijuana market value was assessed at $1.53 billion in 2013 and has the potential to reach $10.2 billion over the next five years.

The Company acknowledges that, at this time, there can be no assurance or guarantee that it will complete the acquisition of the Target Companies, which will also be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.  The Company will provide further updates as they become available.
