GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GQC)(FRANKFURT:M1W)(BERLIN:M1W) is pleased
to announce assay results from the first three vertical holes in their recently
completed Q4 drilling program at its flagship 100 percent owned La Escandalosa
property, located in the Dominican Republic. Ten holes were drilled for a total
of 1,070 metres and assays from the remaining seven holes are pending.
The drill results are located in the table below. The results ranged from 28.0
meters grading 3.57 g/t gold, including 20 meters grading 4.87 g/t gold to 4.1
metres grading 0.78 g/t gold. The program tested lateral extensions of the known
La Escandalosa Sur mineralization and included confirmatory infill drilling of
the same zone to increase knowledge and drill density of the deposit (see plan
of the drill program on
http://www.goldquestcorp.com/images/DrillHoles_NovDec2011_LE.JPG.
"The results reinforce our confidence in the gold potential at La Escandalosa,
where the intersections are within 100 metres of the surface," Julio Espaillat,
Chief Executive Officer stated. "This program is designed to further our
understanding of the mineralization in preparation for the drilling of the
adjacent geophysical targets in early 2012."
GoldQuest's NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource at La Escandalosa Sur is 4.86
million tonnes grading 2.60 g/t gold (at 0.3 g/t gold cut off) was posted on
SEDAR on November 16, 2010. The Hondo Valle mineralization is located 1,600
metres north of La Escandalosa, where the best drill hole returned 29.00 metres
grading 2.18 g/t gold (see press release May 16, 2011), including 17.00 meters
grading 3.45g/t gold in hole LTP-065. Both La Escandalosa and Honda Valle lie on
or adjacent to the Zone A Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly which GoldQuest's
geologists believe may be related to the gold occurrences in the district. La
Escandalosa extends 600 metres north to south in the central portion of Zone A,
which extends in total for over 3.4 kilometres north to south. Refer to IP map
