GoldQuest Granted the Descansadero Concession, Dominican Republic and Commissions ZTEM Airborne Survey

09.01.2014  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 9, 2014) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GQC)(FRANKFURT:M1W)(BERLIN:M1W) ("GoldQuest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the issuance to GoldQuest of the Descansadero concession, adjacent to its Romero Gold/Copper Project in the Dominican Republic. The Company has also commissioned a 3,000 line kilometre helicopter borne geophysical survey covering its 100% owned Tireo Project, including both the concessions granted to the Company and concessions that are under re-application, which are expected to be granted to GoldQuest in due course. The geophysical survey is the first Electro Magnetic survey ever flown over this belt.

"GoldQuest now has 6,750 hectares granted and 7,694 hectares pending, representing around 60 kilometres strike length of the highly prospective Tireo volcanic Formation, " commented Julio Espaillat, GoldQuest's CEO, "Geological knowledge and data from our Romero discoveries will provide valuable insight into further target selection, as we seek further gold and copper mineralization."

The Descansadero Concession

The Dominican Republic's Secretary of State for Industry and Commerce granted to GoldQuest the 725 hectare concession which is 1 kilometer north of the Romero Project, covering part of the Tireo volcanic Formation. The Company recently published a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate at the Romero Project which included approximately 2.4 million ounces of gold equivalent Indicated mineral resources and approximately 0.8 million ounces of gold equivalent Inferred mineral resources (see the Company's October 29, 2013 press release and the table below). The Company is carrying out a Preliminary Economic Assessment at Romero, which is expected to be completed in early Q2 2014 (see the Company's November 28, 2013 press release).

The Descansadero concession is located directly north and adjacent to the Los Comios Concession. The map link to http://goldquestcorp.com/images/press_release/GQC_Concession_Map.jpg shows the location of the new concession and the extent of the ZTEM survey, and the 2013 ground Induced Polarization (IP) program which identified a new chargeability trend, the Guama Trend which extended across the Descansadero concession (see the Company's April 12, 2013 press release).

Exploration Update

The Company has signed an agreement with Geotech Limited of Canada to fly an extensive ZTEM and magnetometry survey over all of its concessions in the Tireo Formation, totaling approximately 3,000 line kilometres, at a combination of 100 and 200 metres line spacing. The helicopter based survey will improve the understanding of the geology and mineral potential along trend from Romero. The equipment is currently en route to the Dominican Republic. The survey is expected to commence in the coming weeks and will provide insight into the conductivity, magnetism, alteration and structure of the belt, in light of the Romero discoveries, which will be covered as part of the survey. The data will complement the Induced Polarization, ground magnetic, mapping and sampling programs which has generally been confined to an area within 5 kilometres of Romero, leaving the majority of the Tireo Formation essentially unexamined to date.

Concurrent with the survey, the Company has exploration crews completing focused mapping, sampling and ground magnetic surveys in high priority areas along trend from Romero, and further ground work to refine targets generated by the ZTEM survey is planned. Anomalies generated by this work and the ZTEM survey will be drilled in 2014.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $11 million in treasury and is funded to complete the 2014 work programs.
