GoldQuest and Precipitate Sign Collaborative Exploration and Data-Sharing Agreement

30.09.2015  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 30, 2015) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. ("GoldQuest") (TSX VENTURE: GQC) (FRANKFURT: M1W) (BERLIN: M1W) and Precipitate Gold Corp. ("Precipitate") (TSX VENTURE: PRG) (the "Companies") are pleased to announce they have reached a data sharing and collaboration agreement (the "Agreement") whereby the Companies will share all current and future Tireo belt exploration data in a collaborative effort to assist and accelerate each Company's search for new gold discoveries in the Dominican Republic's Tireo volcanic belt.

The Companies will combine current exploration databases (from work conducted within the Tireo Gold camp), including airborne and surface geophysical surveys, geology and alteration mapping, and drill and surface sampling results. This collaboration represents the first attempt to build a cohesive dataset for the highly prospective Tireo Gold belt which has generated multiple discoveries in recent years.

The Agreement includes provisions for regular quarterly meetings to share, jointly review, evaluate, and interpret new results as they are generated. Either company can suggest exploration activities in areas where targets overlap concession boundaries and if agreed, either company can extend its surveys onto neighbouring ground and recover costs for work done on the other Company's concession. Both companies would share all results attained from such surveys.

The Tireo Gold belt lies in western Dominican Republic and eastern Haiti. It was virtually unexplored until ten years ago and in that short period, several important discoveries have been made, including GoldQuest's Romero deposit which includes 2.4 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq) Indicated mineral resources (based on 19,420,000 tonnes and 3.81 AuEq (g/t)) and approximately 0.8 million ounces of AuEq Inferred mineral resources (based on 10,020,000 tonnes and 2.45 AuEq (g/t)) (see GoldQuest's October 29, 2013 news release) and most recently, Precipitate's Ginger Ridge discovery (to name only two of several).

Most of the prospective Tireo Gold belt has seen only cursory exploration to date and therefore represents a significantly underexplored regional target for additional new discoveries. The holdings of GoldQuest and Precipitate together comprise almost 550 square kilometres of prospective ground, yet much of this area has, to date, remained under explored. Most of that area is only now being systematically prospected and mapped to identify new areas of interest for follow up exploration. Based on early indications, the ongoing joint collaboration of data and the proven prospective nature of this terrain, both GoldQuest and Precipitate expect ongoing work will identify new target zones both within their respective borders and straddling the boundaries between them. The recent news release by Precipitate that highlighted three trends crossing GoldQuest/Precipitate concession boundaries (see Precipitate's September 22, 2015 release) exemplifies this potential.

While knowledge of the Tireo Gold belt has advanced greatly in the past ten years, the geological models and understanding of the formation processes of the region's known mineralized bodies is still evolving. By combining their mutual datasets, GoldQuest and Precipitate hope to accelerate the development of a geological model to assist in targeting new mineralization more accurately and efficiently. As the data is combined and filtered the Companies will release compilations and update shareholders on the advancement of targeting efforts.

In recognition of GoldQuest's substantially larger dataset, which includes historic data exceeding 30,000 surface samples, including data derived from within concessions now held by Precipitate, Precipitate has agreed to issue to GoldQuest 300,000 common shares of Precipitate's common stock as compensation. GoldQuest has agreed to abide by a 12 month hold period (trading restriction) on this stock.

The Agreement and the issuance of Precipitate's common shares thereunder are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Preciptate's President & CEO, Jeffrey Wilson stated, "We're keenly aware of GoldQuest's important contributions and discoveries in the Tireo belt. Indeed, it's fair to say the Tireo is really GoldQuest's creation, since its management first recognized the importance of this highly prospective terrain nearly ten years ago. Access to GoldQuest's past and present data through this collaborative agreement is expected to aid in streamlining our future exploration efforts. It's hoped that our recent exploration data can similarly assist GoldQuest in its ongoing exploration work. GoldQuest's Romero discovery validates this region's ability to host substantial mineral deposits, while our recent Ginger Ridge discovery and other new zones identified by GoldQuest evidence the belt's ongoing potential for additional discoveries. Continued early stage work by GoldQuest, specifically away from Romero, has greatly increased the number and scale of targets on their concessions. We're happy to be working with a successful management group that has been cordial to us since we entered the region."

GoldQuest's Chairman Bill Fisher commented that, "The number of new discoveries and potential for more of them has increased steadily since GoldQuest arrived in the area ten years ago. We continue to believe that the Tireo Gold belt will ultimately be recognized as one of the more important new discovery terrains and that the size and density of discoveries could rival currently much more famous mineral belts. Recent work by both GoldQuest and Precipitate is highlighting new discovery trends that straddle the concession boundaries between the two companies. It just makes sense to engage in friendly cooperation that will enhance value for both shareholder groups and increase the efficiency of the discovery process. Though Romero continues to be our focus, shareholders should expect to hear more discovery news from us going forward."
