QRS Capital Corp. Announces San Felix 100% Option Agreement

02/08/2012 8:00am

Marketwired Canada


QRS Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:QRS) ("QRS" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "option agreement")
to acquire 100% of the San Felix Project, a 2,435 hectare Copper (oxide)-Silver
and Gold mineralized property at the south-western extension of the El Indio
Mineral Belt, Chile.


Highlights



--  A total of 24 concessions for a total area consisting of 2,435 hectares 
--  A total of 32 grab, channel and panel chip samples were taken with best
    results including: grades of 9% copper, 1,360 g/t silver and 3.1 g/t
    gold 
--  19 samples brought back results of greater than 1% copper, of which 16
    contain greater than 200 g/t silver, and 4 contain greater than 0.5 g/t
    gold 
--  Located within the Pre-cordillera of the Andes in the IV Region of
    Coquimbo, Chile with good access to infrastructure 



QRS's President Diego Benalcazar, stated, "We are very excited to add another
prospective Project to QRS's Portfolio. The San Felix project has demonstrated
incredible copper grades from our sampling program, and this combined with our
magnetometry work to date provides us the confidence to further explore the
property. The geological model and the multiple zones of mineralization
encountered in "San Felix" combined with the size of the land package provide
sufficient opportunities to define significant discoveries."


LOCATION

The San Felix Project is located within the Pre-cordillera of the Andes within
the Province of Limari, IV Region of Coquimbo, Chile. It consists of 24 mining
concessions for a total of 2,435 hectares a can be access from the town of
"Ovalle" via paved road to "Pichascas"(25km) and then some 70km on gravel road
to the limits of the concession. The concessions lies between 2,500 to 3,900
meters above sea level, with abundant water, and power from the Electricity
National Grid located only 5km from the center of the concessions.


The most significant Mining Projects located close proximity to San Felix are
Barrick's El Indio, Teck Cominco's Carmen de Andacollo and Chilean "Los Mantos
de Punitaqui" (see Figure 1).

QRS PRELIMINARY WORK

As part of the technical due diligence, QRS's conducted a rock sampling program,
regional geological and structural mapping, and partial magnetometric survey of
the main trend of the mineralization.


Rock Sampling

Surface rock samples were taken during three separate field campaigns, with a
total of 32 grab, channel and panel chip samples. The best results include
grades of 9% Cu, 1,360 g/t Ag and 3.1 g/t Au. 19 samples brought back results of
greater than 1% Cu, of which 16 contain greater than 200 g/t Ag, and 4 contain
greater than 0.5g/t Au. The table and map below shows results from 28 samples
taken during the 2 main field campaigns (see Table 1 and Figure 2).

Geology and Mineralization

The mineralized structures within the San Felix area are associated with local
faults in-filled with hydrothermal mineralization (Ag, Cu and Au, Pb, Zn). A
pre-Cordillera volcanogenic environment dominates the area of San Felix.
Andesitic-rhyolitic volcanic rocks dominate in the area and the dominant
lithology consists of wide mineralized mantos. The mantos intercalate
agglomerates, lithic and fine tuffs, breccias and andesitic-rhyolitic lavas. At
the center of the system, a clear geomorphological feature depicted by the
presence of a collapsed volcanic caldera reveals a sub-volcanic complex. A
granitic intrusive body outcrops in this area which measures approximately 500m
x 300m and is in contact with a sulphide enriched porphyry and some neck shaped
volcanic breccias containing high grade Ag-Cu veins and veilets. (see Figure 3)

Magnetometry

In March 2012, QRS contracted Argali Geofisicos Chile E.I.R.L. to produce an 85
linear km magnetometric survey (N-S). Forty kilometers were completed with the
remaining 45 km to be undertaken later this year once the winter season finishes
and access to the area regain.


The ground magnetic survey so far outlines a weak to moderate magnetic high in
the northern portion of the grid that is over 1km in strike and open to the
East. Several smaller and weaker magnetic highs in the south are coincident with
topographic ridges and also correlate with target areas based on location of old
workings and exploration roads. The magnetic relief is limited in the southern
portion of the grid indicating underlying hydrothermal alteration. Encouraging
anomalies have been encountered at San Felix and completion of the planned
survey is recommended in the spring when snow melts. (see Figure 4)

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Samples are selected on the property and driven directly to ALS Minerals
Laboratory and Activation Laboratories Ltd. "Actlabs" respectively in La Serena
and Coquimbo IV Region Chile for preparation. Sample pulps of 80 mesh are
assayed for gold Fire Assay, silver and multi-element ICP analysis.
