GoldQuest Mining Corp. announced that the company has been granted a new 5-year exploration license on the 425 hectare Hoyitos exploration concession. Hoyitos contains the Las Animas Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide deposit. All modern exploration on the concession has been carried out by GoldQuest. Previous work includes surface sampling, mapping and geophysics which lead to the drilling which defined the mineral resources. GoldQuest issued the Las Animas deposit's National Instrument 43-101 resources on August 14, 2012. The VMS deposit contains resources for gold, copper, silver and zinc. There is potential to expand the mineral resources at depth and for additional zones on the property. The Las Animas deposit was defined by 47 drill holes with results up to 142 Meters Grading 2.50 g/t Au, 36.58 g/t silver, 2.59% Cu and 1.91% Zn in hole LA-06 and has a small oxide resource at surface. The intersection above in LA-06 is not true width of the mineralization. True width was estimated to be up to 23 meters in the resource estimation.
