Bill Fisher and Julio Espaillat's Goldquest Mining Corp. (GQC), up 3.5 cents to 30.5 cents on 768,000 shares, has received two exploration licences in the Dominican Republic. The licences cover the Tocan de Pino and Hoyo Prieto projects. The new ground is near the company's existing gold projects in the central part of the country, with Tocan de Pino lying just four kilometres east of Cachimbo, Goldquest's most recent discovery.
