GOLDQUEST ENGAGES SEDGMAN AND SRK FOR ROMERO BANKABLE FEASIBILITY STUDY

Goldquest Mining Corp. has awarded the bankable feasibility study for its 100-per-cent-owned Romero gold-copper project in the Dominican Republic to Sedgman Canada Ltd. in partnership with SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc.

Sedgman will lead the BFS and assume overall responsibility for managing and integrating the study and co-ordinating key inputs from Goldquest, SRK and other third party consulting groups. The study will be completed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 regulatory standards. This collaborative and structured approach is designed to streamline communication between various consulting groups and Goldquest technical management, define clear roles, and support efficient decision making as the project progresses toward development.

"We're pleased to be working with Sedgman and SRK, two globally respected firms, to advance Romero through a well-defined, efficient and high-quality feasibility process," said Luis Santana, chief executive officer of Goldquest. "This announcement marks an important milestone as we move the project forward with technical expertise and a focus on long-term value creation."

The Romero project, located in the San Juan province, is one of the most advanced high-grade undeveloped gold-copper projects in the Caribbean and holds the potential to become a significant contributor to the region's economy.
