Great Quest Fertilizer´s Sanoukou Gold Renewal

Given the good prospects of the property and the considerable work completed by Great Quest and others, the Company made a new application for the permit with the support of the Malian Ministry of Mines when it expired last June. The new permit was signed with the Malian government on November 28, 2017. The reissuance of the exploration permit allows the Company to explore the property for a total of seven years, comprising of an initial three-year term with two renewals of two years each.

The Sanoukou Gold permit is one of the marquee gold properties in the Mali’s prolific western Birimian gold belt. It is located down strike from the Tabakoto and Segala mines operated by Endeavour Mining.

The property has extensive artisanal workings and Great Quest has previously reported strong results from exploration campaigns on the property that only hint at the true potential (news releases dated September 30, 2013, June 3, 2010). These results include:

• Up to 9 grams per metric tonne (g/t) over 3 metres in surface trenches
