CALGARY, Aug. 28 /CNW/ - CMQ Resources Inc. (TSXV: NV) ("CMQ") announces that the Exploration Agreement with Option to Form a Joint Venture ("the Agreement") has been finalized between Montezuma Mines Inc. ("Montezuma"), a subsidiary of CMQ Resources Inc., and Miranda Gold Corp. (TSXV: MAD) ("Miranda") on Miranda's Red Canyon project. This exploration agreement replaces the letter of intent dated June 2, 2008.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Montezuma must spend $500,000 exclusive of underlying lease payments on or before August 1, 2009. Montezuma may earn a 60% interest in the Red Canyon project by funding US$4,000,000 in qualified expenditures over a five year period. Montezuma may then elect to earn an additional 10% interest by completing a bankable feasibility study or funding US$10,000,000 in additional exploration. Montezuma and Miranda geologists are designing an aggressive exploration program that will begin in September 2008. Details of the program are currently being finalized. The initial plan includes drill testing near-surface targets at the Ice prospect and deeper targets at the Gexa prospect, along with target development in the northern and central portions of the property.

Red Canyon is a sediment-hosted gold project located 12 miles (19 km) southeast of the 8.5 million ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit. The 7.7 sq. mi. (20 sq. km.) property consists of 237 unpatented lode mining claims that cover a two square mile (5.2 sq. km.) alteration cell developed in carbonate rocks that are age-equivalent to host rocks at the Cortez Hills and Gold Bar deposits. Previous drilling at the Ice prospect identified a near-surface zone of oxidized gold mineralization hosted in the McColley Canyon Formation, immediately above the Lone Mountain dolomite. Select drill hole intercepts include:

<<
- 95 ft of 0.117 oz Au/t from 20 to 115 ft (29.0m of 4.007 g Au/t from
6.1 to 35.1m) in KR-001;

- 85 ft of 0.046 oz Au/t from 15 to 100 ft (25.9m of 1.568 g Au/t from
4.5 to 30.5m) in ROM07-01; and

- 60 ft of 0.033 oz Au/t from 200-260 ft (18.3 m of 1.132 g Au/t from
61-79.3 m) in M-9.

At Ice, fences of inclined reverse-circulation drill holes are proposed to systematically test for gold mineralization beneath post-mineral volcanic rocks, northeast of holes KR-001 , ROM07-01 and M-9. One core hole is anticipated to help resolve the geometry and ore controls of gold mineralization at Ice. At the Gexa target, deep drilling will test a structural / stratigraphic target in the McColley Canyon Formation, beneath a 2,600 ft by 980 ft (800m by 300m) anomaly of gold in soils. Drilling is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2008, but is dependent on BLM permit and bonding approval in addition to drill rig availability.

Target development activities will include additional soil sampling, geologic mapping and drill hole re-logging in the central portion of the property, and an oxygen/carbon dioxide soil gas survey in pediment covered areas to the north. Much of this work will follow-up on unique geologic and geochemical patterns identified by previous operators as well as field examinations conducted by Harry Cook, an authority on sequence stratigraphy and predictive gold host models in northern Nevada.
