La Quinta finds additional targets at Easter

LA QUINTA RESOURCES IDENTIFIES ADDITIONAL TARGETS AT EASTER PROJECT

La Quinta Resources Corp. has identified additional exploration targets at its Easter project situated in southeast Nevada in the Delamar caldera. The targets are extensions of the West Vein trenching target. They were identified from interpretation of geologic structures and alteration related to mineralization observed on aerial photographs and satellite imagery. The West Vein extension targets comprise both a westerly, 1,000-foot (0.3-kilometre) extension of the West Vein and its termination into a radially fractured area approximately 1,000 feet (0.3 kilometre) in diameter, hosted in volcanic tuffs. Radial patterns such as this are typical to plutons that have intruded their overlying volcanic pile. The typical resulting contact area is fractured heavily and forms a locus for deposition of veins and mineralization over hundreds of vertical feet. The Knob Hill mine in the Republic district of northeast Washington is an example of such a system.

Details on the Easter project's West Vein extension target is available at the company's website.

Reconnaissance level sampling of the West Vein during the fieldwork of fall, 2010, identified banded quartz-adularia veining that contained 3.5 grams per tonne gold (0.1 ounce per ton) and 21 g/t silver (0.6 ounce per ton) at surface. The West Vein extension targets are anticipated to contain similar mineralization and will be targeted for exploration during the 2011 field season. The information contained in this news release has been reviewed, approved and deemed relevant by Walter Martin, CPG, president of the company and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

We seek Safe Harbor.
