 with drill hole CD-06 from the Mango Zone returning 12 meters from surface grading 1.85 g/t Au within a broader interval of 64 meters from surface grading 0.53 g/t Au. CD-08 from the Cano del Frio Zone, drilled 180 meters to the south, returned 26.14 meters grading 1.03 g/t Au from 22.86 meters down hole.

In the recently completed second phase of drilling, ten diamond drill holes (numbers CD-06 to CD-15) were completed with lengths between 47.85 m and 100.60 m and inclinations of -46 degrees to vertical for a total of 814.85 meters. Combined with the first phase of drilling (holes CD-01 to CD-05), the total drilled in the project is 1064.84 m in 15 holes. A summary of the gold results is given in Table 1.

The results support the results of the first drill program (Press Release of 25th May 2005) which had highlights of:

CD-01: 22.86 meters from surface (0 m) grading 2.94 g/t Au;

CD-02: 20.0 meters from surface (0 m) grading 2.70 g/t Au; and

CD-04: 46.0 meters from 4.0 m depth grading 1.34 g/t Au.

Porphyry gold mineralization has been intersected in holes CD-01, 02, 04, 06 and 08 in both the Cano del Frio and Mango Zones. CD-09 drilled 460 meters southwest of CD-06 failed to reach the target zone due to major fault being intersected.

Of significance is the geology geology, science of the earth's history, composition, and structure, and the associated processes. It draws upon chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and mathematics (notably statistics) for support of its formulations.  and results from CD-14 in the Northern Zone drilled some 500 meters north of CD-06 and on the east side of the northern extension of the Cano del Frio Zone. This hole was drilled vertically to test a Au-Te-Mo-Bi-Sb soil anomaly Abnormality or deviation. Pronounced "uh-nom-uh-lee," it is a favorite word among computer people when complex systems produce output that is inexplicable. See software conflict and anomaly detection. . Thirteen soil samples from the Northern Zone (an area of 200 by 100 meters) returned an average of 0.122 g/t Au.

Table 1 - Summary of gold intersections for Cerro Dorado (length-weighted average grades for samples greater than 0.1 g/t Au). The Phase 1 results (CD-01 to CD-05) were previously reported. Holes CD-01, -08 and -10 end in gold mineralization.

The Company intends to undertake further work to define the possible association between the porphyry gold mineralization and the newly identified silica-pyrite-gold mineralization, both of which are focused on the Cano del Frio zone which appears to represent a major structural control on the mineralization. Numerous other priority stream sediment sediment, mineral or organic particles that are deposited by the action of wind, water, or glacial ice. These sediments can eventually form sedimentary rocks (see rock).  and rock float sample anomalies within the Cerro Dorado group of concessions will also be followed up.

The Cerro Dorado project occurs in the Joboban exploration concession which is 100%-owned by GoldQuest, and the Centenario exploration concession which GoldQuest has optioned from Energold Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EGD Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
