/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2012 /CNW/ - QMX GOLD CORPORATION [TSX: QMX] [OTCQX: QMXGF] ("QMX Gold" or the "Company") is announcing today that it has filed and obtained a receipt for a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, in connection with  a fully marketed underwritten public offering of units (the "Units") of the Company (the "Offering"). The Offering will also be made in such other jurisdictions outside of Canada, including the United States, where the Offering can be completed on a private placement basis, exempt from any prospectus registration or similar requirements.

Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire a Common Share for a period of five years from the date of issue. The terms of the Offering, including size and price, will be determined in the context of the market.

TD Securities Inc. and National Bank Financial Inc. are acting as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners (together, the Underwriters") with respect to the Offering. The Underwriters will be granted an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, to acquire up to an additional 15% of securities sold in the base Offering in any combination of Units, Common Shares or Warrants for a period of 30 days following closing of the Offering. Closing of the Offering is subject to, among other things, regulatory approval, including TSX approval.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to provide the required equity financing for the development of the Company's Snow Lake property located in Manitoba, the repayment of bridge financing and for general corporate working capital purposes.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offering made will be pursuant to available prospectus and registration exemptions and restricted to persons to whom the securities may be sold in accordance with the laws of such jurisdictions and by persons permitted to sell the securities in accordance with the laws of such jurisdictions.
