GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GQC)(FRANKFURT:M1W)(BERLIN:M1W) ("GoldQuest"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a drill rig capable of drilling to
approximately 700 metres has started drilling at the Company's Romero Discovery
in the Dominican Republic. The Romero mineralization is located within the
Company's 100% owned Las Tres Palmas Project in the Dominican Republic, where
the discovery hole was announced on May 23, 2012, and highlights include 231
metres grading 2.4 g/t gold and 0.44 % copper (see release of May 29, 2012). 


As of today's date, twelve holes have been completed at the Romero discovery
zone and three more holes are in progress (see map for location and length of
holes at http://www.goldquestcorp.com/images/maps/2012-09-10_MAP3.jpg). Thus
far, the assays for seven holes have been reported and all these seven ended in
mineralization, which, in the opinion of the Company, warrants the use of a
larger drill rig capable of investigating deeper mineralization potential. 


"We look forward to using this drill rig to investigate the Romero discovery and
surrounding targets at depth." commented Julio Espaillat, GoldQuest's CEO "This
machine will also be deployed to drill inclined holes into areas of known
mineralization to gain further understanding of the mineralization and structure
in three dimensions." 


In other news, the Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jeremy
Niemi (P.Geo) as Director of Technical Services and Compliance. Mr. Niemi has
over 15 years experience in the resource industry from mineral exploration
through to mine development and production. Recent positions include VP
Exploration for Noront Resources and Manager, Technical Services, for Kinross
Gold Corporation.


"We are pleased to welcome Mr. Niemi to the Company," commented Julio Espaillat,
"as he brings wide experience to the Company, especially in terms of resource
modeling. Jeremy's experience will be helpful in assisting the Company with its
rapidly expanding operations." 


The Company has granted incentive stock options to an employee of the Company to
purchase up to 250,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.56 per
