In-Fill Drilling Assay Results From Romero

VANCOUVER, BC - GoldQuest Mining Corp. reported assay results from three drill holes, two in-fill and one step-out, at the Company's 100% owned Romero Discovery along the Las Tres Palmas trend in the Dominican Republic. The in-fill holes were the first two from a four hole program at Romero to increase the confidence of the data in advance of any NI 43-101 resource estimate. One of the two in-fill holes, LTP-140, has the longest mineralized intercept of all the drilling at Romero to date, with over 269 metres of gold and copper mineralization.

The addition of the two in-fill holes provides approximately 30 metre drill hole spacing in an area of known mineralization. The holes are located 125 metres east of LTP-90, the original discovery hole at Romero.

In GoldQuest's drill programs, composite intervals were chosen using a combination of geological criteria and mineralization, averaging around 2 metres core length. The drill core is cut in half with one half of the core sample shipped to ACME Labs by GoldQuest technicians. The remaining half of the core is kept at the company core shack for future assay verification, or any other further investigation. Assays within intervals below the 0.005 g/t detection limit for Au were given a zero value. All drill samples were prepared and screened by ACME Labs (Santo Domingo); metallic fire assay and multi-element ICP-MS were assayed by ACME Analytical Laboratories (Chile). Gold values are determined by standard fire assay with an AA finish, or, if over 10.0 g/t Au, were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream, at random intervals within each batch.
