Silver Quest Plans Drill Program at Santa Rosa Silver-Lead
Property, Mexico
======================================================================
Silver Quest Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to report that a
drill company has been contracted to undertake a program of reverse
circulation ("RC") drilling on the Company's Santa Rosa property,
located approximately 175 kilometres east of Hermosillo, in the state
of Sonora, Mexico.
Drill access roads have recently been constructed on the upper portion
of the southeast-trending ridge, allowing for drill holes to test the
entire known vertical extent of the mineralization identified to date.
The planned program of approximately 2,000 metres will commence during
the last week of September.
Recent sampling and initial RC drilling by the Company returned
significant silver, lead, and copper values from the project (See News
Releases - July 4, 2007 and March 29, 2007) including a sample from a
newly discovered subcrop of massive galena which assayed 358.0 grams
per tonne silver (g/t Ag) and 69.7 per cent lead (% Pb), a chip sample
over 1.5 meters along the mineralized ridge which returned 1,760 g/t Ag
and 1.10 percent copper (Cu), and a RC drill intersection from June
2007, which returned 9.1 metres averaging 134.7 g/t Ag and 0.45 % Cu.
The Company has an option to purchase a 100% interest in the Santa Rosa
property, which represents an early stage exploration project with the
potential to host bulk-tonnage silver-lead mineralization. Sulphide
mineralization, including galena, tetrahedrite and minor pyrite,
together with barite, occurs in a carbonate breccia unit within
interbedded sedimentary and volcanic (andesite) units.
Sample preparation to date has been completed by ALS Chemex in
Hermosillo, Sonora, with analysis completed by ALS Chemex in Vancouver.
Tom Evans, P.Geo. (California) conducted the previous Santa Rosa
exploration programs and will supervise this program. Robert Weicker,
P.Geo., the qualified person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101,
for the Santa Rosa project, verified the scientific and technical
information in this release and supervised its preparation.
