GoldQuest Trenching Returns 48 Meters at 5.24 g/t Gold in Oxide-Drilling Commences.TORONTO -- GoldQuest Mining Corp.

Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. in new trench sampling on its' 100% owned Las Tres Palmas Palmas may refer to:
The new trench samples from the Escandalosa zone, gave the following results: - 48 meters grading 5.24 g/t Au, including 28 meters grading 8.71 g/t Au (Channel ESC-12E). - 66 meters grading 2.07 g/t Au including 38.0 meters at 3.32 g/t Au (Channel ESC-13A). - 32 meters grading 0.18 g/t Au (Channel ESC-13B). These are length-weighted average grades of continuous two meter channel samples taken along the bottom of the trenches. The three trenches were dug across a ridge to follow up on gossanous boulders with up to 67.8 g/t Au. Initial trench sampling (see press release of October 25th 2005) returned 18 meters grading 6.76 g/t Au including 14 meters grading 14.41 g/t Au (Channel ESC-12B) and 8 meters grading 5.65 g/t Au (Channel ESC-12A). Trenches ESC-12A and B ended in significant mineralization and the 14.0 meter gap between them was trenched in the new program to form one continuous trench (Channel ESC-12E), which incorporates the previously reported results. Trenches ESC-13-A and B were dug perpendicular to ESC-12E. The new channel samples are from oxidized oxidized having been modified by the process of oxidation. oxidized cellulose see absorbable cellulose. volcaniclastic rocks with silicic si·lic·ic adj. Relating to, resembling, containing, or derived from silica or silicon. and argillic alteration. A soil sample grid geochemical survey was also carried out at Las Tres Palmas and results show that gold mineralization is still open to the south of Escandalosa, as well as indicating extensions to known mineralization to the north of Hondo Valle and west of the Los Tomates zone. A 2,000 meter drill program has started on the Las Tres Palmas concession. This will test gold mineralization which occurs intermittently over a distance of 1,800 meters from the northern-most trench at Hondo Valle to the new results at Escandalosa in the south reported here. The zones to be tested are described below (see press releases of October 25th 2005 and March 6th 2006). Hondo Valle has outcropping mineralization hosted in volcaniclastic rocks with silica-pyrite replacement which is oxidized on the ridges. The central zone gave an average grade of 1.15 g/t Au from 189 outcrop rock samples. Channel samples returned 42 meters grading 1.43 g/t Au, 36 meters grading 2.66 g/t Au and 22 meters grading 1.44 g/t Au. At the Los Tomates zone, located 1,000 m south of Hondo Valle, a trench cut 18 meters grading 2.4 g/t Au in silicified si·lic·i·fy v. si·lic·i·fied, si·lic·i·fy·ing, si·lic·i·fies v.tr.

In addition, the drilling will test possible porphyry style mineralization at La Hilguera, 1,000 meters SW of Escandalosa, where 40 rock samples from an area of 600 by 400 meters of altered dacitic Adj. 1. dacitic - relating to or consisting of dacite; "dacitic magma is highly viscous" volcanic rocks with a quartz vein stockwork returned an average of 0.10 g/t Au, 0.36% Cu and 42 ppm Mo. Gold Fields are funding 100% of the exploration expenditures at Las Tres Palmas and can earn 60% by spending US$5M on a portfolio of GoldQuest properties over three years with a minimum expenditure of US$1M in the first year. Updated maps and figures of the Las Tres Palmas project will be available shortly on the website (www.goldquestcorp.com).
