VANCOUVER, BC, NOVEMBER 18, 2009 - GoldQuest Mining Corp. ("GoldQuest"

As a result, GoldQuest now holds a 100% interest in its Dominican

GoldQuest has issued 8,600,000 common shares to Gold Fields,
representing 12.3% of GoldQuest's issued and outstanding common share

HIGHLIGHTS

proven mineralised belt;
.. GoldQuest has issued 8.6M shares and granted a 1.25% royalty
interest to Gold Fields in exchange for its 60% undivided interest

targets, following more than 12,900 meters of drilling and
expenditures exceeding $6 Million by Gold Fields.
Alistair Waddell, President & CEO of GoldQuest, commented, "Gaining
100% ownership and control of the Dominican project portfolio is a
significant milestone for the Company allowing it to freely explore and
advance several key projects to drill stage. We would like to thank
Gold Fields for its investment in the joint venture and continued
support of GoldQuest's development of the projects as the Company's
largest shareholder."
Gold Fields has invested over CDN$6 Million in the Dominican projects

of exploration areas which host a range of different targets that
require further exploration.
