La Quinta Resources Corporation ("La Quinta" or "The Company") (TSX VENTURE:LAQ)
is pleased to announce that it has engaged SJ Geophysics of Delta, BC to conduct
an electrical geophysical survey at its BlackJack property located in Elko
County, Nevada. The survey will consist of approximately 22,600 lineal feet (7
km) using pole-dipole time domain induced polarization technique. Historic data
shows that reconnaissance sampling of outcropping veins and underground workings
conducted in 2007 returned significant lead, silver, zinc, gold and copper
values associated with polymetallic sulfides hosted in veins within Ordovician
limestones. The survey lines are situated over and flanking the historic
workings on the property. The IP technique is anticipated to be useful for
delineating hidden veins and replacement style massive sulfide lead-silver
mineralization in unexplored regions below and distal to the historic
underground workings.

About La Quinta Resources Corporation

La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company actively seeking
mineral opportunities for the benefit of our stakeholders. Currently the Company
is focused on exploring for gold and silver on its Easter Project and Black Jack
properties in Nevada. The Easter Project is underlain by an epithermal
quartz-adularia vein stockwork system hosted within Tertiary volcanic rocks of
the Caliente Caldron Complex of southeastern Nevada. Numerous drill programs
were conducted over the past 27 years by several operators. The resultant 121
holes and five adits were used to outline a 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6
million tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038 oz/t) and 14 g/t silver (0.4 oz/t) within an
area of gold mineralization with a strike length of at least 6,450 feet (1,966
m) and drill-defined widths up to 90 feet (27.4 m). Significant prior intercepts
include up to 0.194 oz. Au / ton over 90 feet (6.6 g/t over 27.4m true
thickness) (including 0.549 oz. Au / ton over 15 feet (18.8 g/t over 4.5m)) and
0.084 oz. / ton over 110 feet (including 0.534 oz. Au / ton over 5 feet) (2.88
g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in 1.52 m). The Black Jack property, an
early-stage exploration target in NE Nevada, consists of old mine workings that
contain silver-gold-base metals veins hosted in Ordovician limestones that
overlie nearby Cambrian shale. No resource has been identified on this property.
