La Quinta Resources Corporation ("La Quinta" or "The Company") (TSX
VENTURE:LAQ)(FRANKFURT:LQK) is pleased to report that it has received permits
from the Bureau of Land Management to commence its 2011 drilling program on its
Easter Project located in S.E Nevada. The drilling will commence June 12, and is
subject to the posting of a reclamation bond of US$27,770.00. 


La Quinta plans to drill 11,000 ft (3,350 m) of reverse circulation percussion
and diamond drilling in 23 drill holes sited downdip of the outcrop of the Main
Vein at Easter, and in the West Vein Extension area as follow-on to the 10 g/t
gold outcrop found earlier this year. Management anticipates hole depths will
average 500 ft.

About La Quinta Resources Corporation

La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company actively seeking
mineral opportunities for the benefit of our stakeholders. Currently the Company
is focused on exploring for gold, silver and copper on its Easter and Black Jack
properties, Nevada and on Carruthers Pass, British Columbia. The Easter Project
is underlain by an epithermal quartz-adularia vein stockwork system hosted
within Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Caliente Caldron Complex of southeastern
Nevada. Numerous drill programs were conducted over the past 27 years by several
operators. The resultant 121 holes and five adits were used to outline a 43-101
compliant resource of 2.6 million tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038 oz/t) and 14 g/t
silver (0.4 oz/t) within an area of gold mineralization with a strike length of
at least 6,450 feet (1,966 m) and drill-defined widths up to 90 feet (27.4 m).
Significant prior intercepts include up to 0.194 oz. Au / ton over 90 feet (6.6
g/t over 27.4m true thickness) (including 0.549 oz. Au / ton over 15 feet (18.8
g/t over 4.5m)) and 0.084 oz. / ton over 110 feet (including 0.534 oz. Au / ton
over 5 feet) (2.88 g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in 1.52 m). The Black
Jack property, an early-stage exploration target in NE Nevada, consists of old
mine workings that contain silver- gold-base metals veins hosted in Ordovician
limestones that overlie nearby Cambrian shale. The Carruthers Pass property is a
massive sulfide project with copper, gold and silver located 70km south of
Kemess copper-gold mine. The project consists of 8 claims covering 3,250
hectares. No resources have been indentified in either Black Jack or Carruthers
Pass properties.
