Marketwired Canada
Tarsis Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:TCC) ("Tarsis") is pleased to announce that
it has received a report containing assay results from optionee Silver Quest
Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SQI) ("Silver Quest") for diamond drilling carried
out during 2010 at Prospector Mountain, Yukon.
Silver Quest completed an eight hole 1,463 meter diamond drill program in late
fall, 2010 at Prospector Mountain, targeting the source of high-grade gold,
copper and silver samples of select locally derived talus, previously reported
on August 4, 2010. The high-grade samples lie within a 1.4 kilometer trend of
anomalous gold, silver and copper soil geochemical response, known as the
Bonanza Zone. The diamond drill holes were located within the central part of
the Bonanza Zone and tested approximately 580 meters of strike length, with all
holes drilled to the east on dips of minus 45 or 50 degrees.
Assay results from the drill program are presented in the table below.

intervals.
Silver Quest recently advanced $50,000 and 200,000 common shares to Tarsis,
indicating that they intend to continue with the option in 2011.
President and CEO Marc Blythe states, "We plan to review these results closely
and in particular the drill hole targeting strategy. It appears that the
mineralized system has greater structural complexity than expected. Silver Quest
exceeded the required expenditures by spending approximately $750,000 on
exploration during 2010. We are very pleased that Silver Quest intend to
continue with the option and they have indicated that they intend to conduct a
larger and more comprehensive exploration program in 2011."
Silver Quest has an option to acquire an initial 60% interest in the Prospector
Mountain property by completing the following:
-- Spending $4,000,000 on exploration over four years ($750,000 spent to
December 31, 2010)
-- Issuing 1,000,000 Silver Quest shares to Tarsis (400,000 shares received
to December 31, 2010)
-- Making payments of $300,000 ($100,000 received to date)
Silver Quest may earn an additional 10% interest by completing a feasibility study.
Drill core analysis and assaying was conducted by ALS Laboratory Group in
Vancouver, BC, which is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005-accredited laboratory. Core
samples were analyzed using a 51 element combination ICP-MS and ICP-AES package
and a 30 gram fire assay for gold. Samples returning greater than 1.0 g/t Au
were reanalyzed using a 30 gram fire assay with gravimetric finish. Silver Quest
has implemented a quality assurance and quality control program to ensure that
the sampling and analysis of all samples is conducted in accordance with best
practices.
