GoldQuest Commences ZTEM Airborne Survey of the Tireo Concessions Surrounding the Romero Gold Discovery, Dominican Republic

GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GQC)(FRANKFURT:M1W)(BERLIN:M1W) ("GoldQuest"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced flying a
helicopter borne ZTEM geophysical survey covering its' 100% owned Tireo
Concessions. The geophysical survey is the first Electro Magnetic survey ever
flown over this belt, and will include a high-sensitivity cesium vapour
magnetometer for mapping geologic structure and lithology.


"Results from this survey will complement the PEA underway at our Romero
discovery, providing significant newsflow over the next year," commented Julio
Espaillat, GoldQuest's CEO, "ZTEM has been selected in light of our knowledge
gained at the Romero discoveries. This allows us to quickly evaluate the
complete area to depths beyond 1 kilometer. We are confident that if there are
other similar hydro thermal systems in our large Tireo concession areas, we will
identify them with this state-of-the-art system."

maiden technical report describing a multi million ounce gold equivalent
resource was filed on December 17, 2013.


Geotech Limited of Canada is flying the ZTEM and magnetometry survey over all of
GoldQuest's concessions in the Tireo Formation, totaling approximately 3,000
line kilometers, at a combination of 100 and 200 meters line spacing. The survey
will improve the understanding of the geology and mineral potential along the
Tireo trend, 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 kilometers of Romero, leaving the majority of
the 60 kilometer strike length of the Tireo Concessions unexamined to date. The
survey covers areas that have been granted to GoldQuest, and those areas under
application.


The Company's 2014 approved budget for the Tireo Project covers the exploration
of the Tireo Formation in the Dominican Republic, and includes this airborne
survey, ground follow up and drilling of any anomalies in 2014.


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


The data in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Jeremy
Niemi, P.Geo., the Director, Technical Services of GoldQuest and a Qualified
Person for the technical information in this press release under NI 43-101
standards.
