QGX Receives Positive Social And Environmental Baseline Study For Coking-Steaming Coal Project At Baruun Naran, Mongolia.

February 26, 2007 (Waterdown, Ontario). QGX Ltd. (TSX: QGX) is pleased to announce that it has received the Social and Environmental Baseline Study ("the Study") for its coking and steaming coal project at Baruun Naran in southern Mongolia.  AATA International, Inc. (Fort Collins, Colorado), in association with Ecotrade (Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia), conducted the Study.  A summary review of the project, based upon comprehensive social and environmental baseline studies, indicated that there were no physical, chemical, biological, or social characteristics that would present a fatal flaw to development.  The Study also provided the baseline database for the subsequent Social and Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA) that will be carried out later this year as a necessary prerequisite before any development occurs at Baruun Naran.

The Study, which commenced at the conclusion of the Mongolian winter, collated social and environmental data through to the end of 2006.

 The Study addressed the following areas:

• Physical environment: surface- and ground-water hydrology, vegetation, fauna, soil survey, and climate (a class A meteorology station has been established at Baruun Naran to provide continuous recording of soil and air temperatures, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed and direction and precipitation)
  
•  Chemical environment: soil chemistry and water quality
  
•  Biological environment:  flora and fauna
  
•  Summary of the national, social, economic and political situation 
  
•  Housing, employment and public services
   

Paul Zweng, President/Chief Executive Officer of QGX Ltd., commented as follows:

"This social and environmental baseline study represents a significant milestone in the development of the Baruun Naran coal project.  The Study represents a high-quality and comprehensive baseline conducted to international standards.  We are now preparing the bid document for the Social and Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA) with the view that the bids will go out in March and the SEIA will commence in the second quarter. The SEIA will be conducted to satisfy both Mongolian and international standards, in accordance with the latest IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles.  These studies will allow the Baruun Naran coal project to move forward to the next phase of development."
