The bridge facility will continue to carry an annual interest rate of 15% and will be paid at the closing of the term loan or at its maturity. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay RIF USD $500,000, as a fee for extending the facility.

In conjunction with the bridge financing, RIF was granted 200,000 warrants (4,000,000 warrants pre-consolidation, see Press Release dated July 3^rd, 2012). In accordance with the extension, the parties have agreed that the post-consolidated 200,000 warrants shall be priced at CAD $0.381 per share, the 10-day VWAP of QMX Gold's common shares as of August 28, 2012. The warrants remain subject to the receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX and shall remain subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day.

Francois Perron, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented on the bridge facility extension: "RIF must be thanked for their continued support as QMX Gold moves towards closing the financing of the Snow Lake Project. It confirms that they have continued confidence in the project and they want to ensure that it moves past the milestone of securing a full financing arrangement."
