 /NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN  THE U.S./ 

 TORONTO, June 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Northquest Ltd.  ("Northquest")  is pleased to announce that it proposes to complete a non-brokered  private placement (the "Offering") pursuant to which Northquest will  issue (i) units ("Units") at a price of $0.20 per Unit; and (ii)  "flow-through" units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.25 per FT Unit, in  any combination to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000,  provided that maximum gross proceeds of $1,000,000 shall be raised  pursuant to the issuance of FT Units.  Each Unit will consist of one  common share of Northquest and one-half of one share purchase warrant  (each whole such share purchase warrant, a "Warrant").  Each FT Unit  will consist of one "flow through" common share of Northquest and  one-half of one Warrant.  Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof  to acquire one additional common share of Northquest (which shall not  be a "flow through share") at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for  a period of 24 months, provided that if, at any time after the date  which is four months and one day following the applicable closing date,  the closing price of the common shares of Northquest on the principal  market on which such shares trade is equal to or exceeds $1.00 for 20  consecutive trading days, Northquest may accelerate the expiry date of  the Warrants, in which event the Warrants will expire upon the date  (the "Accelerated Expiry Date") which is 30 days following the  dissemination of a press release by Northquest announcing the  Accelerated Expiry Date.  Insiders of Northquest are expected to  purchase Units and/or FT Units in the Offering to raise aggregate gross  proceeds of up to a maximum of $25,000. 

 In connection with the Offering, Northquest may pay a finder's fee to  certain qualified registrants assisting in the Offering in the amount  equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders, and issue  broker warrants to such finders entitling the holders to acquire such  number of Units of Northquest as is equal to 7% of the aggregate number  of Units and FT Units sold by such finders in the Offering, at a price  of $0.20 per Unit, for a period of two years following the closing of  the Offering. 

 Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about June 28,  2012 or such other date or dates as Northquest may determine.  The  Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. 

 NEITHER THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER  (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE)  ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
