PRESS RELEASE

·START OF FIRST DEEP HOLE AT ALEXANDER PROPERTY, RED LAKE, ONTARIO

Toronto, Ontario – February 25, 2010 -

Conquest Resources Limited -

(TSX-V: “CQR”)(USOTC:CQRLF) is pleased to announce drilling has started
on the first 2,000 metre “mother hole” on its Alexander Gold
Project(100% owned) at Red Lake, Ontario.

Boart Longyear Canada has mobilized a LY-55 deep-hole rig onto the
site for the initial drill program comprising 8,000 metres of drilling.
The program comprises a series of deep holes with wedging from 800
metres vertical depth in each of the holes.
The initial drill program is expected to take approximately four
months to complete.



The first hole will test the Balmer volcanic assemblage beneath the
Huston-Balmer unconformity.
Three “daughterholes” will be wedged from the first parent hole.
The target is gold mineralization in sheared Balmer volcanics as well
as Huston sediments within the “Mine Trend” structural corridor,
immediately east of Goldcorp’s Red Lake and Campbell gold mines.



The drilling is part of a systematic evaluation of the Alexander
Property at deeper levels than previously explored, starting at the
south western corner of the property inclose proximity to
the Red Lake mine.
Previous, shallower drilling byConquest and by Goldcorp intersected
significant gold values within the target edrock types.



ABOUT THE ALEXANDER PROPERTY

In 2009, Conquest completed a4,100 metre drill program which doubled
the depth profile of drilling on the Alexander Property
from 300 to 700 vertical metres in the area below the western part
of the property, adjacent to the Red Lake mine.
All six holes from this program intersected gold mineralization,
including 9.64 g/t gold over 0.39 metres and4.05 g/t gold over
1.92 metres (see PressRelease – December 18, 2009).



In 2008, Goldcorp drilled four holes from their adjacent Red Lake mine

containing 14.25 g/t gold over 0.61 metres
(see Press Release - May 25,2009).
