Conquest Commences Drilling from Goldcorp Red Lake Mine Property
Conquest Appoints Vice President of Exploration




Apr. 14, 2011 (Marketwire Canada) --
TORONTO, ONTARIO --

Conquest Resources Limited
(TSX VENTURE:CQR)is pleased to announce that the Company
has commenced drilling from Goldcorp's Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.
("Goldcorp") mine property located next to Conquest's 100% owned
Alexander Property in Red Lake, Ontario.

Drilling with a second drill rig is underway on the initial 1,600
metre deep hole, CR-11-047, designed to test Balmer Assemblage
basalts which occur under the western corner of the Alexander
claim block.
The hole will be maintained for subsequent wedging following
the drilling of the parent hole expected during June.

Conquest has collared hole CR-11-047 from surface approximately
175 metres from the south western corner of the Alexander
Property boundary where an estimated 800 metres of drilling
in the upper portion of the hole will take place on Goldcorp's
property and the remaining lower portion will be on Conquest's
Alexander Property.
Conquest and Goldcorp will mutually benefit from the information
obtained through drilling.

No formal agreement or interest in the Alexander Property
has been assigned to Goldcorp.

SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE DRILLING

The first drill hole (CR-11-044) was completed to a total hole
depth of 1,365 metres.
The hole was designed to target the deep extension of the
Sulphide Shear Zone which is known to exist on surface over
a true-thickness of 7-metres within the Balmer Assemblage.
A sheared zone of sulphide mineralization and quartz-carbonate
alteration was intersected at a vertical depth of 1,115 metres.
Several gold bearing intrusives between 480 and 900 metres
vertically were found to contain 1.49 grams per tonne (gpt)
gold over 1.17 metres, 0.51 gpt gold over 1.20 metres,
and 0.57 gpt gold over 1.12 metres of drill core.
Sampling from the sheared and sulphide mineralized zone did
not contain significant gold mineralization. The hole was
completed in Bruce Channel Formation metasediments.

The second hole (CR-11-045) was collared 150 metres to the
grid west and 260 metres to the grid north of CR-11-044.
The hole was completed to a depth of 909 metres.
A gold mineralized intermediate intrusive in the footwall
stratigraphy to the targeted extension of the Sulphide Shear
Zone returned 0.50 gpt over 5.45 metres, including 1.09 over
0.95 metres of drill core.
The hole was completed in Bruce Channel Formation metasediments.
The Sulphide Shear Zone was not intersected.
Interpretation of the core and local geology suggests that
the Sulphide Shear Zone has been offset by north-south
oriented faulting.

A third hole (CR-11-046) is currently being drilled to a
planned depth of 1,100 metres between CR-11-044 and -045
to follow up the extension of the Sulphide Shear Zone.

CONQUEST APPOINTS VICE PRESIDENT EXPLORATION

Mr. Benjamin Batson (P. Geo) to the position of Vice President
Exploration of the Company.

ABOUT THE ALEXANDER GOLD PROJECT

Conquest's Alexander Property lies immediately east of Goldcorp
Inc.'s Red Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of
the Red Lake Gold Camp on the important "Mine Trend"
regional structure and is almost completely surrounded
by Goldcorp's land holdings.
The Red Lake Mining District has produced in excess of
25 million ounces of gold over the past 60 years.

The important Balmer Assemblage volcanic rocks, which host
the majority of gold produced from the Red Lake greenstone belt,
and the adjacent Bruce Channel Formation metasedimentary rocks,
which host some of the new gold discoveries at Red Lake,
have been identified on the Alexander Property.
These prospective host rocks lie within the Red Lake Mine Trend
structural corridor which extends southeast from Goldcorp's
two gold mines on to and across the Conquest Alexander Property.
Many of the regional structures that have associated gold
mineralization in the area of the two producing gold mines
at Red Lake extend eastwards on to the Alexander Property.

For 2011, Conquest plans to conduct 15,000 metres of diamond
drilling in subsequent phases of exploration on
the Alexander Property.
The focus is to continue systematic drilling to test the Balmer
Assemblage stratigraphy in structures extending from the
adjacent Red Lake Mine (Goldcorp) within volcanic lithologies
below the 700 metre level under the western and central
portions of the Alexander Property.
