La Quinta Resources Corporation ("La Quinta" or "The Company") (TSX VENTURE:LAQ)
is pleased to announce that it has expanded its claim position at its BlackJack
project located in Elko County, Nevada. The Company added 32 claims to its land
position based on results of remote sensing interpretation and interpretation of
results received on November 23rd, 2010 from a geophysical survey. The BlackJack
land position now covers approximately 740 ac (299 ha), or 1.1 sq. mi. 


Interpretation of color aerial photography indicated presence of a radial
fracture system extending from identified gold, silver and base metals
mineralization off the original Black Jack property. The fracture pattern is
approximately 6,000 ft (1,800 m) x 2500 ft (770 m). The new claims cover this
feature. 


The portion of the IP survey completed on a distal extension from old mine
workings identified chargeable zones in the same limestone hosting
mineralization at the workings, in additional support of the immediate
claimblock expansion. La Quinta's technical staffs are considering adjusting the
survey configuration to better highlight these areas in the Spring.


The information contained in this news release has been reviewed, approved and
deemed relevant by Walter Martin, President of La Quinta Resources and C.P.G., a
qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.


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.
