GoldQuest Files Preliminary Economic Assessment for Gold-Copper Romero Project, Dominican Republic

GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GQC) (FRANKFURT: M1W) (BERLIN: M1W)
("GoldQuest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed the
Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") Technical Report for the Company's 100%
owned Romero Gold-Copper Project in the Dominican Republic, on SEDAR. The PEA
study was led by Micon International Limited. 


The Company recently published the results of its positive PEA (see May 27, 2014
news release), with highlights including a 15 year underground mine life
producing an average of 90,000 ounces of gold per year, with an All-In
Sustaining Cost, net of copper and minor silver by-products, of $353/ounce. All
costs are in US dollars.


The mineral resource estimate at the Romero Project, which includes 2.4 million
ounces of gold equivalent Indicated mineral resources and 0.8 million ounces of
gold equivalent Inferred mineral resources, remains unchanged from the Company's
prior technical report on the Romero Project (see October 29, 2013 news
release). 


"We are very pleased to deliver our PEA and to reach this significant
milestone," commented Chief Executive Officer, Julio Espaillat, "We feel that
Romero offers great insight into the mineral potential of our Tireo project. Our
current drilling campaign aims to realize this potential by discovering
additional mineral resources in this very prospective belt."

This economic analysis is preliminary in nature and includes inferred resources
that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the results of the preliminary economic
assessment will be realized.


The Company has commenced its 2014 exploration program, and has completed 4
holes to date. Assays results are expected, and will be released, in the coming
weeks.
