Conquest Commences Drilling at Its Smith Lake Gold Property
in Northern Ontario
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2012) -
Conquest Resources Limited -
(TSX VENTURE:CQR) reports that it has commenced a 2,500 metre
diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Smith Lake Gold
Property, located within the Missanabie-Goudreau Greenstone
Belt, in northern Ontario.
Summit Drilling Services Inc. has been contracted to operate
their lightweight drilling equipment for an estimated three
months of BQ-sized exploration core drilling.
A total of 20 planned drill holes have been designed to test
near surface vein systems and other structural targets on
the property.
The first four holes of the program have been planned to follow
up Conquest's high grade 63.3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold
intersection from hole CSL-11-001 (as previously reported -
see Press Release dated September 19, 2011)
in the Company's 2011 autumn drilling program.
Second order priority holes will target east-west oriented
structures near the northern extension of the north-south
oriented Braminco Shear Zone.
Additional targets have been identified at sites with coincident
structural and Mobile Metal Ion ("MMI") surface
geochemical anomalies.
ABOUT THE SMITH LAKE PROPERTY
Conquest's Smith Lake Property consists of six patented mining
claims and 24 contiguous mining claims comprising over a 50
square kilometer area that is located contiguous with the
former Barrick/Homestake Renabie Gold Mine which closed in
1991 having produced more than 1,000,000 ounces of gold
since 1941 from reported reserves of approximately 6 million
tonnes at an average grade of 6.6 grams per tonne gold
and 2 grams per tonne silver.
During 2011, Conquest completed 1,109 metres of diamond drilling
on Conquest's 100% owned patented mining claims at Smith Lake.
The most significant gold intersection on the Smith Lake
Property was located in the first drill hole of the program
grading 63.3 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 0.28 metres
within a mineralized quartz vein in hole CSL-11-001.
Of a total 318 samples collected from the ten hole program,
30 samples returned anomalous assays ranging from 0.25 g/t
to 63.3 g/t gold over 0.22 to 1.50 metres in
core length thickness.
Gold mineralization in the Renabie area is the result of
repetitive hydraulic fracturing and shear zone inflation
within Archean-aged granitoid intrusives.
The repetitive nature of veining results in ribbon textured
veining that is strongly controlled by two main structural
trends oriented east-west and northwest-southeast, both of
which are present on Conquest's patented mining claim group
at Smith Lake.

Renabie Gold Mine - short history -
The company’s first acquisition was the Renabie mine,
near Wawa, Ontario,
http://www.conquestresources.net/
http://www.conquestresources.net/project_details.php?pid=16&s=o
- which produced around 16,000 ounces of gold in 1984.
In 1984, Barrick Gold acquired Camflo Mining, which had
operations in the province of Quebec and in
the U.S. state of Nevada.
Barrick’s effort to purchase was slowed by skepticism the
company could assume Camflo’s debt of around $100 million.
The sale was finalized in May, 1984, with terms that obligated
Barrick Gold to repay the debt to The Royal Bank of Canada
within one year.
The debt was fully paid in January, 1985.
Barrick Resources acquisition was Mercur mine in Mercur, Utah
in June 1985, followed by the Gold Strike Mine, Nevada in 1986.
Gold Strike Mine is in Carlin trend, estimated producing
100 million ounces of gold. - GOLD AND SILVER

Conquest Intersects 6.34 Metres of 3.95 Grams Per Tonne Gold at Red Lake -
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 13, 2011) -
Conquest Resources Limited
(TSX VENTURE:CQR) is pleased to report that the Company has
intersected 6.34 metres of gold mineralization grading 3.95
grams per tonne (gpt) gold in the most recently completed
drill hole at the Company's 100% owned Alexander Gold Project
in Red Lake, Ontario.
Hole CR-11-051 intersected 3.95 gpt gold over 6.34 metres,
including 17.50 gpt gold over 1.24 metres which includes
31.25 gpt gold over 0.53 metres of core at a hole depth
of 495 metres.
Hole CR-11-051 was collared in a northeasterly direction near
the southern property boundary adjacent to
Goldcorp's Red Lake mine property.
Assay results from hole CR-11-051, including this 31.25 gpt gold
assay, represent the highest grade intersections on the
Alexander Property to date.
This gold mineralization is present within a broad pyrite-
arsenopyrite bearing quartz monzodiorite intrusive of
unknown true thickness located in the hanging wall to
Eastern Shear Zone belonging to the Balmer Assemblage
suite of rocks.
CONQUEST'S ALEXANDER EASTERN SHEAR ZONE
During Summer 2011, Conquest discovered the Eastern Shear Zone,
a new sulphide mineralized zone of shearing found in hole
CR-11-048 (see Press Release – August 03, 2011) located 750
metres southeast of the Central Sulphide Shear Zone which was
discovered in exploration drilling by Conquest during 2004. Follow-up drilling in holes CR-11-049, -050, and -051 suggests
that the geometry and location of the Eastern Shear Zone is
similarly oriented in strike and dip, but is a separate zone
spatially from the Central Sulphide Shear Zone.
The Eastern Shear Zone is characterized by narrow
pyrite-(arsenopyrite) and pyrrhotite-(pyrite-arsenopyrite-
chalcopyrite) stringers with associated quartz-
carbonate-(pyrite) veins within a structural envelope
of shearing and biotite-chlorite-(silica) altered Balmer
assemblage basalts ranging from 5 to 10 metres in true thickness.
Earlier mining activities at Goldcorp's Red Lake Gold Mine –
No. 1 Red Lake Complex (the former Dickenson Mine) produced gold
from mineralized Balmer assemblage basalts similar to those
sulphide-carbonate bearing sheared Balmer volcanics which have
been identified at Conquest's Central Sulphide Shear Zone and
Eastern Shear Zone.
FUTURE PLANS
Follow-up drilling on the Company's Alexander Property is planned
in the next hole, CR-11-052, which will be collared in a
northeasterly direction from a setup located approximately 100
metres east of CR-11-048 (325 metres east of CR-11-051)
along the southern Conquest/Goldcorp mine property boundary
under freezing conditions during January 2012.
No drill holes have yet tested the eastern or depth extent
of the Eastern Shear Zone horizon, which is approximately
one square-kilometre in size along a vertical longitudinal
section oriented 130AZ/-60DIP through the central and
eastern portion of the Alexander Property.
The system remains open at depth and along strike and represents
a significant new exploration target.
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.
A total of 9,772 metres of NQ sized drilling has been completed
by Conquest during 2011.
Two drill rigs are onsite and ready to resume drilling on
frozen ground following the year-end freeze-up.

CONTINUED EXPLORATION AT CONQUEST'S OTHER GOLD PROPERTIES
Conquest is also drilling at its 100% owned Smith Lake Gold
Project located adjacent to the former Barrick Renabie Gold Mine
near Missanabie, Ontario.
A total of 1,109 metres of exploration drilling was completed
during the Fall of 2011.
The first hole of the program, CSL-11-001 contained a high grade
intersection of gold grading 63.3 grams per tonne over 0.28
metres within the targeted structurally hosted quartz-pyrite vein.
Historical production from vein-hosted gold bearing structures
at the adjacent former Renabie Gold Mine totaled more than
1,000,000 ounces of gold since 1941 from reported reserves
of approximately 6 million tonnes at an average grade
of 6.6 grams of gold and 2 grams of silver per tonne.
Assays are pending from holes CSL-11-002 through CSL-11-010
at Smith Lake and are expected by the end of October.
In addition to its drilling programs at Red Lake and Smith Lake,
Conquest is exploring for structurally-hosted gold
mineralization under a joint-venture agreement with
Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") at
the Sunday Lake property located along
the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone approximately seven kilometres
east of Detour Gold's 14.9 million ounce proposed open pit gold
mine.
Detour Gold completed a seven-hole drill program comprising
1,650 metres of exploration drilling during Winter 2010/11.
Conquest expects that additional exploration drilling will
be planned for Winter 2011/12.

Conquest Intersects New Shear Zone in Drilling Program at Red Lake
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 3, 2011) - Conquest Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:CQR) reports that the Company has intersected a new shear zone containing significant sulphide mineralization in the ongoing 2011 Exploration Drilling Program at the Company's 100% owned Alexander Gold Project in Red Lake, Ontario.
The new showing was found in hole CR-11-048 located near the southern property boundary approximately 750 metres to the southeast of the central Sulphide Shear Zone which Conquest has been drilling in its 2011 program.
CR-11-048 which was completed to a depth of 1,094 metres is characterized by strongly sheared Balmer Assemblage basalt containing quartz carbonate veining and associated stringers of sulphide mineralization over 15 metres in core. Quartz-carbonate veining and sulphide mineralization is contained within an envelope of biotite-chlorite alteration that is most intense within the zone of strongest shearing over approximately 5 metres in thickness. True thickness of this new showing is unknown at this time.
While assays from the new sulphide mineralized shear zone in CR-11-048 did not contain anomalous gold values, additional work is warranted to investigate the presence of sulphide mineralization and significant alteration along this structural conduit.
In addition to the new shear zone, hole CR-11-048 intersected an interval of altered Basalt over 13 metres that was found to contain 1.02 grams of gold per tonne over 0.57 metres at a hole depth of 233 metres.
NEW SHEAR ZONE SHOWING
Hole CR-11-048 was collared in a northeasterly direction at a dip of -70 degrees and planned in the footwall area of a brecciated Balmer Assemblage basalt intersection identified in previous drilling. The hole was designed to test the concept that significant shear zones may be repeated in structures oriented parallel to key structural breaks recognized at the adjacent Goldcorp Red Lake Gold Mines. No previous drill holes have targeted this area.
Conquest previously identified shear structures similar to those intersected in CR-11-048 through trenching and drilling up to 450 metres in strike length in the central portion of the property but only drilled to 100 metres vertical depth. Hole CR-11-048 demonstrates, for the first time, that these sulphide mineralized shear zones exist at depths of at least 700 metres vertically.
"The identification of prospective shearing and associated sulphide mineralization is significant because many gold bearing zones in the Red Lake Gold Camp mines are characterized by a correlated affinity of gold mineralization to those quartz carbonate altered structural conduits which also contain sulphide mineralization" commented Benjamin Batson, Vice President Exploration of the Company.
"It is significant that many of the structural and hydrothermal ingredients for gold mineralization are present at 700 metres vertical depth on Conquest's Alexander property since the majority of deposits in the Red Lake Gold Camp are known to increase in depth in the direction of the Alexander Property."
Follow-up drilling is underway with hole CR-11-049 which has been collared 110 metres due west of CR-11-048 in a similar northeasterly direction. Additional drilling is planned to both the east and west of the new showing.
The system remains open at depth and along strike and represents a significant new exploration target as drilling continues through the remainder of the year.
CONQUEST'S DEEP DRILLING INTERSECTS 1.98 G/T GOLD OVER 0.2 METRES AT DEPTH OF 910 METRES
Conquest has also completed a wedge hole CR-11-047-W1 to a downhole depth of 1,448 metres. The wedge hole was cut from the parent hole CR-11-047 at a depth of 320 metres. The parent hole was collared on the Goldcorp mine property as previously announced (See Press Releases – April 14, 2011) and intersected Conquest's southern property boundary at a hole depth of 770 metres.
Sampling returned an assay of 1.98 grams of gold per tonne over 0.20 metres at a depth of 910 metres vertically from fine quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins hosted in the footwall to a narrow zone of sheared Balmer Assemblage basalt on Conquest's property. Elevated gold values (486 to 764 ppb) were also intersected below 1,000 metres vertical depth within intrusives of intermediate composition.
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.

Conquest Resources Limited owns The Piper Moss Gold Project,
Midlands Goldfield
http://www.conquestresources.net/project_details.php?pid=9&s=o
Project Overview
The Piper Moss Mine is a former gold production property
situated just 3km north of and in a similar geological
setting to the Globe & Phoenix Mine, the second largest gold
producer in Zimbabwe's history (over 2.3 million ounces gold).
The Moss vein from which most of the past production of 163,200
ounces (520,000 tonnes at 10.8gm/t gold) was derived can be
traced for over 1,200 metres and is up to 2m wide in places.
The deposit was formerly accessed on 14 levels by two shafts
and by over 10,670 metres of lateral development.
Other production came from the Sinola and Spur veins.
Several other mineralized structures occur parallel to
the Moss vein and contain ore grade values.
The New Reef is up to 1.5m thick and contains ore grade gold
values (average 19.9gm/t).
Potential exists for further gold reserves to be delineated
within the Moss vein system as well as in parallel and
cross-cutting veins.
Over 30 present and past producting gold mines are located
within 10km radius of the property. Conquest has identified
a number of other gold procuction properties in
the immediate area for acquisition.
Conquest plans to evaluate the potential to retreat
approximately 500,000 tonnes of tailings and other
surface stockpiles on the property by a vat leaching
process and will undertake a comprehensive reevaluation
of the primary gold potential through surface and
underground exploration.
Project Location
The Piper Moss property lies approximately 3 kilometres north
of the town of Kwe Kwe in the Midlands area of Zimbabwe.
The area has a rich gold mining tradition with over 30 past
producing mines located within a 10km radius.
A major highway, linking Harare to Bulawayo, passes along
the side of the property, providing excellent access.
The Harare-Bulawayo railway lies parallel to the highway
and electrical power is available to the site.
Project Details
The Piper Moss mine is a form er gold production property (6th largest in the Midlands Goldfield) situated just 3km north of and in a similar geological setting to the Globe & Phoenix Mine, the second largest gold producer in Zimbabwe's history (over 2.3 million ounces gold). The Piper Moss mine was formerly accessed on 14 levels by two shafts and by over 10,670 metres of lateral development.
The Moss vein from which most of the past production of 163,200 ounces (520,000 tonnes at 10.8gm/t gold) was derived can be traced for over 1,200 metres and is up to 2m wide in places. Several of the ore shoots contain very rich grades which have been estimated (in government reports) to be in excess of 1.0 ounces per ton 34.28gm/t). Other production came from the Sinola and Spur veins.

Several other mineralized structures occur parallel to
the Moss vein and contain ore grade values.

Conquest Resources Limited owns The Beehive and Babs Gold Mines, Midlands Goldfield -
http://www.conquestresources.net/project_details.php?pid=7&s=o
The Babs & Beehive Mines are former gold production properties
situated respectively about 10km north and 30km northwest of
Kwe Kwe.
The mines were developed by African Gold PLC of London
between 1997 and 1998 at a cost of approximately $4.5 million
and operated for nine months before being placed on care
and maintenance in early 1999 as a result of falling gold
prices and increasing costs in Zimbabwean currency.
The inferred mineral resource for both mines is 360,000 tonnes
at a grade of 5.7gm/t gold.
A further open pit potential of 400,000 tonnes of low grade
mineralisation may be amenable to heap leach gold extraction.
The mines are considered to have excellent upside for additional
reserves to be delineated following completion of drilling
and underground development programmes.
As part of the acquisition Conquest acquired a 300 tonne per day
processing plant located at the Beehive mine site which
was constructed in 1998.
Project Location
The Beehive mine is located approximately 10km north of Kwekwe,
adjacent to the Indarama and Sherwood Star gold mines and
6km north of the Piper Moss mine.
The Babs mine is located 30km west of Kwe Kwe.
The Beehive mine is readily accessible from the main
Harare-Bulawayo highway and the Kwe Kwe-Gokwe paved
highway passes alongside the Babs property.
There is 33kva electrical power supply from the national
power grid available at both sites.
Project Geology
The mine properties lie within the Midlands Greenstone Belt,
the largest and most prolific of the greenstone belts in
terms of gold production for Zimbabwe.
Within the belt, the Bulawayan and Shamvian Groups represent
the two dominant stratigraphic units.
The Bulawayan Group is the older and defines the lateral extent
of the greenstone belt.
It consists primarily of mafic to felsic volcanics which
have been subdivided into a lower Mafic Formation, a middle
sequence consisting of intermediate volcanics known as
the Maliyami Formation, and an upper Felsic Formation.
The Shamvian Group unconformably overlies the Bulawayan volcanics and consists prim arily of a series of immature volcanic derived sediments which are generally represented by greywackes, grits, phyllites and conglomerates. The structural evolution of the Midlands Greenstone Belt initially involved extension, which led to the emplacement of the volcanics of the Bulawayan Group. Later the Sesombi, Whitewaters and Biri tonalites were intruded. This led to compressional deformation which formed a regional cleavage and foliation, folding and hearing, together with low grade metamorphism.
The Beehive mine is located along the regional Taba Mali deformation zone and is hosted in mafic greenstones and pillow lavas of the Mafic Formation of the Bulawayan Group. Three cross cutting banded ironstone bodies occur within the immediate mine complex which host gold mineralization. A felsic quartz porphyry containing low grade gold mineralization occurs to the south. The Babs mine is located in sheared propylitized andesitic lavas assigned to the Maliyama Formation of the upper Bulawayan Group. The Sesombi tonalitic intrusive occurs to the north and east of the mine.
Reserves and Resources
There are no reserves on the properties that can be defined
under National Instrument 43-101.
An inferred mineral resource for both mines, as presented
by L. S. Blake of Blake Geological Consultants Limited
in a report dated October 20, 2000, is 360,000 tonnes
at a grade of 5.7g/t gold
(Beehive: 145,000 tonnes at 8.8g/t Au; Babs: 214,000 tonnes
at 5.0g/t Au).
Blake indicates that a further inferred mineral resource
of 400,000 tonnes of low grade mineralisation may be amenable
to open pit mining and to heap leach gold extraction.
The properties are considered to have potential for mineral
resources and reserves to be delineated following completion
of drilling and underground development programmes.

Red Lake Gold Mine Mother -
Goldcorp makes welcome to CQRLF newborn Au-baby

to grow into the Mother Au-lode
history tells CQRLF -
He Struck Gold on the Net (Really)
By: Linda TischlerMay 31, 2002
Rob McEwen owned an underperforming gold mine in northwestern Ontario, and he needed new ideas about where to dig. So he broke new ground -- and made data on the mine available online to anyone who wanted to help. Eureka! The Internet gold rush was on.
In January 1848, a work crew at John Sutter's mill, near Sacramento, California, came across a few select nuggets of gold. Before long, a half-million prospectors arrived there seeking instant riches. The gold rush was on. Some 153 years later, another gold rush broke out at an old mine called Red Lake, in northwestern Ontario. This time, the fortune hunters wielded geological-modeling software and database mining tools rather than picks and shovels. The big winners were from Australia. And they had never even seen the mine.
Rob McEwen, chairman and CEO of Goldcorp Inc., based in Toronto, had triggered the gold rush by issuing an extraordinary challenge to the world's geologists: We'll show you all of our data on the Red Lake mine online if you tell us where we're likely to find the next 6 million ounces of gold. The prize: a total of $575,000, with a top award of $105,000.
The mining community was flabbergasted. "We've seen very large data sets from government surveys online," says Nick Archibald, managing director of Fractal Graphics, the winning organization from West Perth, Australia. "But for a company to post that information and say, 'Here I am, warts and all,' is quite unusual indeed."
McEwen knew that the contest, which he called the Goldcorp Challenge, entailed big risks. For one thing, it exposed the company to a hostile-takeover bid. But the risks of continuing to do things the old way were even greater. "Mining is one of humanity's oldest industrial pursuits," McEwen says. "This is old old economy. But a mineral discovery is like a technological discovery. There's the same rapid creation of wealth as rising expectations improve profitability. If we could find gold faster, we could really improve the value of the company."
McEwen, a small, soft-spoken man with a neatly trimmed mustache and meticulous tailoring, had one big advantage over his slow-footed competitors: He wasn't a miner, he didn't think like a miner, and he wasn't constrained by a miner's conventional wisdom. As a young man, he went to work for Merrill Lynch, following his father into the investment business. But his father also had a fascination with gold, and McEwen grew up hearing tales of miners, prospectors, and grubstakes at the dinner table. Soon he was bitten by the gold bug too, and he hammered out a template of what he thought a 21st-century gold-mining company should look like. In 1989, he saw his chance. He stepped into a takeover battle as a white knight and emerged as majority owner of an old and underperforming mine in Ontario.
It was hardly a dream come true. The gold market was depressed. The mine's operating costs were high. The miners went on strike. McEwen even got a death threat. But the new owner knew that the mine had potential. "The Red Lake gold district had 2 operating gold mines and 13 former mines that had produced more than 18 million ounces combined," he says. "The mine next door had produced about 10 million ounces. Ours had produced only 3 million."
McEwen believed that the high-grade ore that ran through the neighboring mine was present in parts of the 55,000-acre Red Lake stake -- if only he could find it. His strategy began to take shape at a seminar at MIT in 1999. Company presidents from around the world had come there to learn about advances in information technology. Eventually, the group's attention turned to the Linux operating system and the open-source revolution. "I said, 'Open-source code! That's what I want!' " McEwen recalls.
His reasoning: If he could attract the attention of world-class talent to the problem of finding more gold in Red Lake, just as Linux managed to attract world-class programmers to the cause of better software, he could tap into thousands of minds that he wouldn't normally have access to. He could also speed up exploration and improve his odds of discovery.
At first, Goldcorp's geologists were appalled at the idea of exposing their super-secret data to the world. "This is a very conservative, very private industry," says Dr. James M. Franklin, former chief geoscientist for the Geological Survey of Canada and a judge in the Goldcorp Challenge. "Confidentiality and secrecy about reserves and exploration have been its watchwords. This was a totally unconventional thing to do."
But in March 2000, at an industry meeting, McEwen unveiled the Goldcorp Challenge. The external response was immediate. More than 1,400 scientists, engineers, and geologists from 50 countries downloaded the company's data and started their virtual exploration. When the entries started coming in, the panel of five judges was astonished by the creativity of the submissions. The top winner was a collaboration by two groups in Australia: Fractal Graphics, in West Perth, and Taylor Wall & Associates, in Queensland, which together had developed a powerful 3-D graphical depiction of the mine.

He Struck Gold on the Net (Really)
By: Linda TischlerMay 31, 2002
Rob McEwen owned an underperforming gold mine in northwestern Ontario, and he needed new ideas about where to dig. So he broke new ground -- and made data on the mine available online to anyone who wanted to help. Eureka! The Internet gold rush was on.
For McEwen, the contest itself was a gold mine. "We have drilled four of the winners' top five targets and have hit on all four," he says. "But what's really important is that from a remote site, the winners were able to analyze a database and generate targets without ever visiting the property. It's clear that this is part of the future."
Between the new high-grade discoveries and the mine's modernized facilities, Red Lake is finally performing along the lines that McEwen had envisioned. In 1996, Red Lake was producing at an annual rate of 53,000 ounces at $360 an ounce. By 2001, the mine was producing 504,000 ounces at $59 an ounce. On the open market, gold currently trades for about $307 an ounce. The grade of the ore at McEwen's mine is extraordinarily high, confirming his suspicion that the vein that ran through the neighboring mine continues through Red Lake.
For McEwen, whose passion for gold is evident from the 82-pound sample rock containing 300 ounces of gold that he displays in his office and the dazzling gold, diamond, and lapis wedding ring that he sports on his finger, it doesn't get much better than this. "When you first pick up a piece of gold and hold it in your hand, when you feel the weight and see the luster, you feel like this is something special," McEwen says. "It's different than mining coal."

Sidebar: Nuggets of Wisdom
Red Lake, Ontario and West Perth, Australia are at opposite ends of the earth. But that didn't stop Nick Archibald and his team of geologists at Fractal Graphics, an Australian geoscience consulting firm, from thinking that they could find gold in Canada.
First-place winners of the 2001 Goldcorp Challenge, Archibald and his mates shared a grand prize of $105,000 for their presentation detailing likely targets for finding gold. "I'd never been to the mine," Archibald says. "I'd never even been to Canada."
But when he learned of the contest, Archibald recognized an opportunity for his company, which specializes in the production of 3-D models of mines. The prize money was appealing, but Archibald knew that winning would give a boost to his own hopes for expansion funds as well. "Our industry has been going through a hard time," he says. "We had been trying to raise venture capital. Any positive news could only be a big help for us."
Although the prize money, which Archibald's team shared with Taylor Wall & Associates, barely covered the cost of the project, the publicity has boosted the firm's business. "It would have taken us years to get the recognition in North America that this project gave us overnight," he says.
More important, Archibald adds, the Challenge has opened the industry's eyes to a new way of doing exploration. "This has been a big change for mining," he says. "This has been like a beacon in a sea of darkness."
Red Lake Gold Mine
RED LAKE
The Red Lake Gold Mine is composed of two operating complexes:
the Red Lake Complex and the Campbell Complex.
Red Lake Gold mine is Canada’s largest gold mine,
and in 2009 produced 623,000 ounces at a cash cost of $288/oz.
It is also one of the world’s richest gold mines
and lowest cost producers.

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
Conquest is pleased to announce the appointment of
Mr. Benjamin Batson (P. Geo) to the position of Vice President
Exploration of the Company.
Mr. Batson has worked with Conquest since 2009 as Exploration
Manager directing the Company's exploration program at Red Lake.
As a Professional Geologist and graduate of Geological
Engineering (Queen's University), Mr. Batson provides a strong
technical background and possesses a broad knowledge base of
the exploration and mining business in North America.
Mr. Batson will continue to focus the Company's efforts at
Red Lake, Ontario while also pursuing corporate development
opportunities in other favorable gold mining districts in
North America.
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.

Who Would Sell Gold Or Silver Now?
Jeff Berwick, The Dollar Vigilante
7 April 2011
Mainstream media, the majority of the public and value investors all believe that the precious metals are in a bubble. But that is because they do not understand the foundations underpinning a move into hard assets.
In this regard there are two camps:
The camp who believes that we live in a grand new world where governments can centrally plan economies better than the free market itself and where acceptance of government-sponsored, unbacked fiat paper monies is just a normal, unquestioned part of life.
The camp who sees central banks as being artificial and dangerous and who are quite surprised that this era of unbacked fiat currencies has lasted this long (nearly 40 years since the "Nixon Shock" on August 15, 1971)
Those in Camp #1 will never buy precious metals until it is already too late and the fiat currencies have all collapsed.
Those in Camp #2 will never sell their precious metals until they see an indication that the unpayable debts and deficits of the majority of western nations have reached a resolution - either by default (bankruptcy of the nations) or by hyperinflation (bankruptcy of the currency).
Which brings about an interesting state of affairs. Unlike any and every other bubble in the history of mankind, the holders of precious metals will not sell their holdings for fiat currency, at any price.
They may sell their precious metals to buy another asset which they deem as being undervalued in terms of gold or silver - which may mean they sell their precious metals, briefly, for fiat currency but then quickly sell that fiat currency in favor of another asset.
But for those who own precious metals for safety and/or profit against the assured demise of the global financial system there is no price at which they would sell their precious metals in favor of fiat currency.
Of course if someone offered you $10,000 per ounce today for your gold you would be crazy not to accept it. However, most holders of gold would sell at $10,000 and then immediately sell the fiat currency and repurchase the gold at the current market price near $1,400 to buy even more gold.
However, the great majority of people who hold precious metals as a hedge against the destruction of the US dollar reserve based financial system will never sell their precious metals, at market price, until they see a resolution of the debts of the western nations.
GOLD/SILVER SHORTAGES
This amazing scenario is playing out as we speak.
Reports have been coming in from all corners of the world over the last few months stating shortages in physical gold and silver bullion.
The operating capacity of domestic gold refineries in India have reached very low levels due to scarcity of scrap. Currently domestic gold refineries are operating between 25-30% of their installed capacity as against 35-40% around the same time last year. According to Ajay Mitra of the India and Middle East office of the World Gold Council, "Used gold sales have declined steadily in the last one year as consumers are holding jewellery in anticipation of higher prices."
They aren't so much anticipating "higher prices" of gold & silver as they are anticipating "lower prices" in their fiat currency. Until there is any indication that the ongoing, systematic destruction of fiat currencies worldwide will cease then there is no reason for anyone to sell their precious metals in favor of holding the fiat currencies.
Canada's biggest bullion bank, ScotiaMocatta "sold out" of all its silver coins and bars in January. They have apparently sourced some new supply of silver coins but as of the time of writing they still show 100 oz. Silver Bars as being "sold out".
Eric Sprott, one of the smartest men in the precious metals business stated that he expects gold to hit $2,150 and silver to hit $50 this year citing extreme shortages and great challenges to secure 15 million ounces of silver for his fund. He stated that "no supply exists in volume except from the margin of immediate producer output".
MOVE INTO BULLION AND PRODUCERS THIS YEAR
Up until this year it has been relatively safe to "play" in things such as gold/silver ETFs, futures and other "paper" assets. TDV believes that 2011 will be the last year in which it is still relatively easy to find and purchase gold/silver bullion and that those who have not yet begun to do so consider making this move immediately.
TDV issued a Special Report to subscribers entitled "How to Own Gold" on November 8, 2010 which includes more specific details on how and why to move into bullion products.
As well, as Eric Sprott pointed out above, one of the only liquid sources of gold and silver bullion now and in the future may be actual producers. The TDV Portfolio available to subscribers contains numerous large, mid and small cap producers. These equities may rise exponentially if it becomes clearer to the public that they are one of the only sources of accessible bullion available on the market.
Remember to diversify geographically to reduce political risk. We attempt to include miners from different parts of the world as part of this strategy.

CQR VALUATION: the Gold former production properties in Zimbabwe
fair market valuation should alone be higher than
CQR total Market Cap: 13,016,882 million
E.g.,
Beehive and Babs Gold Mines, Midlands Goldfield
Project Overview
The Babs & Beehive Mines are former gold production properties
situated respectively about 10km north and 30km northwest
of Kwe Kwe.
The mines were developed by African Gold PLC of London between
1997 and 1998 at a cost of approximately $4.5 million
and operated for nine months before being placed on care and
maintenance in early 1999 as a result of falling gold prices
and increasing costs in Zimbabwean currency.
The inferred mineral resource for both mines is 360,000 tonnes at
a grade of 5.7g m/t gold.
A further open pit potential of 400,000 tonnes of low grade mineralisation
may be amenable to heap leach gold extraction.
The mines are considered to have excellent upside for
additional reserves to be delineated following
completion of drilling and underground development programmes.
As part of the acquisition Conquest acquired a 300 tonne per day
processing plant located
at the Beehive mine site which was constructed in 1998.
http://www.conquestresources.net/project_details.php?pid=7&s=o
E.g,
Piper Moss Gold Project, Midlands Goldfield
Project Overview
The Piper Moss Mine is a former gold production property
situated just 3km north of and in a similar geological
setting to the Globe & Phoenix Mine,
the second largest gold producer in Zimbabwe's history
(over 2.3 million ounces gold).
The Moss vein from which mostof the past production of 163,200 ounces
(520,000 tonnes at 10.8 g m/t gold) was derived can be traced
for over 1,200 metres and is up to 2m wide inplaces.
The deposit was formerly accessed on 14 levels
by two shafts and byover 10,670 metres of lateral
development.
Other production came fromthe Sinola and Spur veins.
Several other mineralized structures occur parallel to
the Moss vein and contain ore grade values.
The New Reef isup to 1.5m thick and contains ore grade
gold values (average 19.9gm/t).
Potential exists for further gold reserves tobe delineated
within the Moss vein system as well
as in parallel andcross-cutting veins.
Over 30 present and past producting gold mines are located
within 10 km radius of the property.
Conquest has identified a number of other gold procuction
properties in the immediate area for acquisition.
Conquest plans to evaluate the potential to retreat
approximately 500,000 tonnes of tailings
and other surface stockpiles on the property
by a vat leaching process

Detour Gold has defined prospective targets for gold
mineralization in areas of high chargeability along a shear
structure located 500 metres to the north and parallel to
the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone (SLDZ), which transect a
significant portion of the seven-kilometre length of
the Sunday Lake Property.
In September 2010, Conquest entered into a joint venture with
Detour Gold on Conquest's Sunday Lake Property pursuant to which
Detour Gold has the right to earn a 50% interest in the Sunday
Lake Property by completing $1,000,000 of exploration over
the next two years, including a minimum expenditure of
$500,000 prior to September 30, 2011.
Detour Gold has initiated construction activities at its
Detour Lake open pit mine, with a mineral reserve of 14.9
million ounces, located approximately seven kilometers west
of Conquest's Sunday Lake property.
Conquest holds 100,000 shares of Detour Gold Corporation.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Conquest also continues to explore at its 100% owned
Alexander Gold Project in the heart of
the Red Lake gold camp with its ongoing multi-phase 20,000
metre, deep drilling program.
Conquest is exploring several gold projects in Ontario.
These include the Alexander Gold Project at Red Lake;
the Sunday Lake property at Detour Lake in joint venture with
Detour Gold Corporation;

Conquest Commences Drilling At Alexander Sulphide Shear Zone In Red Lake
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Feb. 7, 2011 (Marketwire) --
Conquest Resources Limited
(TSX VENTURE:CQR) is pleased to announce the commencement
of drilling at its 100% owned Alexander Property in Red Lake,
Ontario.
The 2011 Exploration Program will comprise approximately 15,000 metres
of NQ-sized drilling in five parent drill holes with additional
wedge holes under the central and western portions of the
Alexander Property.
Drilling will target favorable sheared Balmer Assemblage units
which are host to the adjacent Goldcorp Red Lake Gold Mines.
The first drill hole of the program (CR-11-044) has been collared
in a steeply dipping northerly direction under the central
portion of the Alexander Property.
The drill hole has been designed to intersect the down dip
extension of the Sulphide Shear Zone at approximately 1,000
metres vertical depth.
During the 2010 Exploration Program, trenching revealed a 7-metre
true thickness zone of intense shearing that contained extensive
sulphide mineralization and strong quartz carbonate alteration
known as the Sulphide Shear Zone.
Detailed structural mapping of this zone identified steeply
dipping sulphide stringer mineralization within a shear zone.
Elevated gold values of 300 to 400 parts-per-billion (ppb) were
obtained from within the Sulphide Shear Zone channel sampling
on surface (See Press Release dated September 27, 2010). Subsequent drilling during 2010 intersected further elevated
values in the shear zone at 80 to 180 metres vertical depth
which has provided encouragement to undertake further drilling
to locate the source of the anomalous gold in the shear system.
Conquest intends to investigate the extension of its Sulphide
Shear Zone along strike and at depth with the initial drilling
in its 2011 Exploration Drilling Program.
During 2010, Conquest completed 9,030 metres of drilling from
March through November comprising two deep parent holes and
three wedge holes for a total of 7,755 metres of drilling,
under the western portion of the Alexander Property, and three
drill holes totaling 1,275 metres of shallow drilling under
the Sulphide Shear Zone.
Conquest has contracted Boart Longyear Canada for its drilling
services on the project.

THREE HOLES INTERSECT SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE OVER 325 METRES STRIKE AT ALEXANDER GOLD PROJECT IN RED LAKE, ONTARIO
Release Date: 27-09-2010
4.64 GRAMS PER TONNE GOLD INTERSECTED OVER 6 METRES IN SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE AREA
Toronto, Ontario, September 27, 2010 |
Conquest Resources Limited
(TSX-V: ?CQR?) is pleased to announce the completion of 1,275 metres
of drilling in the central portion of its 100% owned
Alexander property at Red Lake
where three drill holes intersected a zone of strongly sheared
and altered Balmer basalt containing strong sulphide
mineralization.
The Company also continues to explore under the western portion
of the property with its ongoing 8,000 metre deep drilling
program.
SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE DRILLING
The supplemental three-hole program consisted of 1,275 metres of
NQ-sized drilling in the central part of the Alexander Property
located approximately one kilometre east of the ongoing deep
drilling program near the property boundary with Goldcorp.
Three holes, CR-10-041, -042, and -043 were drilled at -60
degrees dip to the north east under the eastern portion of
the Sulphide Shear Zone to respective hole depths of 486, 429,
and 360 metres.
The targeted zone is oriented approximately 120 degrees in
strike, dipping steeply to the south west, and remains untested
in all directions below 225 metres vertical depth.
Holes CR-10-041, -042, and -043 are widely spaced covering up
to 325 metres of strike under the central part of the Alexander
property where several holes drilled by Conquest in 2003 and
2004 tested the upper stratigraphy where the best hole drilled
in 2004 intersected gold mineralization reporting 12 grams per
tonne over 0.43 metres.
In the recent 2010 program, a gold mineralized intrusive was
intersected within the Sulphide Shear Zone hanging wall in
hole CR-10-042 at a vertical depth of 238 metres
containing 4.64 g/t gold over 6.0 metres,
which included 12.67 g/t gold over 1.50 metres.
Holes CR-10-041 and -043 intersected strong sulphide
mineralization hosted in strongly sheared and carbonate-silica-
biotite altered basalts over respective true thickness widths
of 11.6 and 9.2 metres.
Hole CR-10-042 intersected similar mineralization over 4.7
metres true thickness.
Sampling from within the strongly sheared volcanics returned
marginally anomalous gold values generally less than
0.20 g/t over 1.0 metres widths.
The geology intersected in these three holes provides strong
encouragement to undertake follow-up drilling in the open areas
to the west and beneath this shear zone where the interpreted
extension of this zone remains untested and highly prospective.
NEW TRENCHING UNCOVERS SEVEN METRE-WIDE MINERALIZED SHEAR ZONE OVER 80 METRES AT SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE
In addition to drilling, a new trench was excavated exposing
a 35 x 80 metre window into the surface geology above the area
targeted in drilling at the Sulphide Shear Zone.
A seven metre true-thickness mineralized and strongly carbonate-
silica-biotite altered shear zone was uncovered on strike with
surface mineralization discovered by Conquest in 2003
(Sulphide Shear Zone).
New trenching at the Sulphide Shear Zone has provided a
sizeable exposure for the first time of the detailed structural
relationships and lithological contacts, which are key
components required to understand the geometry and structural
setting of the mineralization found on the Property.
[b]The mineralization and alteration observed in the Sulphide
Zone is similar to those mineralized zones present at
the adjacent Red Lake Mine.
At surface, the uncovered shear zone is intensely oxidized.
Sulphide mineralization is contained within a seven to nine metre
thick, strongly sheared zone oriented at 120 degrees in
azimuth, dipping 65 degrees to the southwest.
The zone contains moderate to steeply dipping, sheared and
folded quartz carbonate veins with pervasive carbonate
and biotite alteration throughout.
Mineralization is dominated by near-solid sulphide pyrrhotite-pyrite sulphide stringers in the hanging-wall within the upper portion of the shear zone where carbonate-biotite-silica-magnetite alteration is the strongest and most oxidized. Mineralization extending into the footwall of the shear zone is dominated by weaker pyrite-arsenopyrite disseminated sulphide mineralization throughout the sheared, silica-biotite altered host basalt.
Channel samples were cut from the trench on a locally
established grid across the entire width of the shear zone.
Samples were fire assayed for gold and then further processed
for a detailed suite of trace elements using ICP methods at
Activation Laboratories in Red Lake and Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Anomalous gold values were returned over the most intensely
oxidized hanging-wall portions of the shear zone in the range of
50 to 200 ppb.
The highest values were found to occur in the footwall of
the shear zone between 300 and 400 ppb gold.
It is believed that the Sulphide Shear Zone is one of several
southwest dipping shear zones containing steeply west
plunging sulphide mineralized chutes.
Similar structures have been found at adjacent mines in
the Red Lake camp to be very strongly correlated to
high grade gold mineralization.
DEEP DRILLING EXPLORATION
The drilling of the second parent hole and subsequent wedging
in the 8,000 metre deep drilling program on the western

DETOUR GOLD COMPLETES SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAM AT SUNDAY LAKE PROPERTY | DRILL PROGRAM PLANNED FOR JANUARY 2011
Release Date: 27-10-2010
Toronto, Ontario - October 27, 2010 | Conquest Resources Limited (TSX-V: "CQR") is pleased to report that Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") has completed an MMI (Mobile Metal Ion) soil sampling program on Conquest?s Sunday Lake Gold Project, located 7 kilometers east of Detour Gold's open pit gold development project in the northern Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Conquest recently entered into a joint venture with Detour Gold
on Conquest's Sunday Lake Property (consisting of 13 square
kilometers of prospective mineral leases located along
the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone pursuant to which
Detour Gold has the right to earn a 50% interest in
the Sunday Lake Property) by completing $1,000,000
on exploration over the next two years, including a minimum
expenditure of $500,000 prior to September 30, 2011.
Conquest also holds 100,000 shares of Detour Gold Corporation.
A total of 552 samples were collected by Detour Gold during the soil sampling program, designed to assist in the prioritization of drill targets for the upcoming winter drill season.
Geochemical results from the survey are expected in November 2010.
Conquest anticipates Detour Gold will commence a drill program on the Sunday Lake Property in January, 2011.
THREE HOLES INTERSECT SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE OVER 325 METRES STRIKE AT ALEXANDER GOLD PROJECT IN RED LAKE, ONTARIO
Release Date: 27-09-2010
4.64 GRAMS PER TONNE GOLD INTERSECTED OVER 6 METRES IN SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE AREA
Toronto, Ontario ? September 27, 2010 | Conquest Resources Limited (TSX-V: ?CQR?) is pleased to announce the completion of 1,275 metres of drilling in the central portion of its 100% owned Alexander property at Red Lake where three drill holes intersected a zone of strongly sheared and altered Balmer basalt containing strong sulphide mineralization. The Company also continues to explore under the western portion of the property with its ongoing 8,000 metre deep drilling program.
SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE DRILLING
The supplemental three-hole program consisted of 1,275 metres of NQ-sized drilling in the central part of the Alexander Property located approximately one kilometre east of the ongoing deep drilling program near the property boundary with Goldcorp.
Three holes, CR-10-041, -042, and -043 were drilled at -60 degrees dip to the north east under the eastern portion of the Sulphide Shear Zone to respective hole depths of 486, 429, and 360 metres. The targeted zone is oriented approximately 120 degrees in strike, dipping steeply to the south west, and remains untested in all directions below 225 metres vertical depth. Holes CR-10-041, -042, and -043 are widely spaced covering up to 325 metres of strike under the central part of the Alexander property where several holes drilled by Conquest in 2003 and 2004 tested the upper stratigraphy where the best hole drilled in 2004 intersected gold mineralization reporting 12 grams per tonne over 0.43 metres.
In the recent 2010 program, a gold mineralized intrusive was intersected within the Sulphide Shear Zone hanging wall in hole CR-10-042 at a vertical depth of 238 metres containing 4.64 g/t gold over 6.0 metres, which included 12.67 g/t gold over 1.50 metres.
Holes CR-10-041 and -043 intersected strong sulphide mineralization hosted in strongly sheared and carbonate-silica-biotite altered basalts over respective true thickness widths of 11.6 and 9.2 metres. Hole CR-10-042 intersected similar mineralization over 4.7 metres true thickness. Sampling from within the strongly sheared volcanics returned marginally anomalous gold values generally less than 0.20 g/t over 1.0 metres widths.
The geology intersected in these three holes provides strong encouragement to undertake follow-up drilling in the open areas to the west and beneath this shear zone where the interpreted extension of this zone remains untested and highly prospective.
NEW TRENCHING UNCOVERS SEVEN METRE-WIDE MINERALIZED SHEAR ZONE OVER 80 METRES AT SULPHIDE SHEAR ZONE
In addition to drilling, a new trench was excavated exposing a 35 x 80 metre window into the surface geology above the area targeted in drilling at the Sulphide Shear Zone. A seven metre true-thickness mineralized and strongly carbonate-silica-biotite altered shear zone was uncovered on strike with surface mineralization discovered by Conquest in 2003 (Sulphide Shear Zone).
New trenching at the Sulphide Shear Zone has provided a sizeable exposure for the first time of the detailed structural relationships and lithological contacts, which are key components required to understand the geometry and structural setting of the mineralization found on the Property. The mineralization and alteration observed in the Sulphide Shear Zone is similar to those mineralized zones present at the adjacent Red Lake Mine.
At surface, the uncovered shear zone is intensely oxidized. Sulphide mineralization is contained within a seven to nine metre thick, strongly sheared zone oriented at 120 degrees in azimuth, dipping 65 degrees to the southwest. The zone contains moderate to steeply dipping, sheared and folded quartz carbonate veins with pervasive carbonate and biotite alteration throughout.
Mineralization is dominated by near-solid sulphide pyrrhotite-pyrite sulphide stringers in the hanging-wall within the upper portion of the shear zone where carbonate-biotite-silica-magnetite alteration is the strongest and most oxidized. Mineralization extending into the footwall of the shear zone is dominated by weaker pyrite-arsenopyrite disseminated sulphide mineralization throughout the sheared, silica-biotite altered host basalt.
Channel samples were cut from the trench on a locally established grid across the entire width of the shear zone. Samples were fire assayed for gold and then further processed for a detailed suite of trace elements using ICP methods at Activation Laboratories in Red Lake and Thunder Bay, Ontario. Anomalous gold values were returned over the most intensely oxidized hanging-wall portions of the shear zone in the range of 50 to 200 ppb. The highest values were found to occur in the footwall of the shear zone between 300 and 400 ppb gold.
It is believed that the Sulphide Shear Zone is one of several southwest dipping shear zones containing steeply west plunging sulphide mineralized chutes. Similar structures have been found at adjacent mines in the Red Lake camp to be very strongly correlated to high grade gold mineralization.
DEEP DRILLING EXPLORATION
The drilling of the second parent hole and subsequent wedging in the 8,000 metre deep drilling program on the western portion of the Alexander property is ongoing and will be completed in November.
"In each of the last six years, Goldcorp's focused exploration
program has delivered greater gold exposure to shareholders
by not only increasing gold reserves in absolute numbers
but also by increasing our gold reserves on a per share basis,"
said Chuck Jeannes, Goldcorp President and Chief Executive
Officer.
"Continued exploration success in 2010 has positioned the
Company to grow gold reserves for a seventh consecutive year,
driven by strong results at key assets.
Our highly prospective, Americas-based asset portfolio will remain
an important source of new high quality gold ounces-and
continued leverage to the gold price-in the future."
Canada
Red Lake
During 2010, recent underground infrastructure
investments led to an acceleration of exploration drilling
at the Company's cornerstone mine.
Development of the High Grade zone (HGZ) continued from the 4199
exploration drift, where three drills are infilling and
extending the HGZ at depth, between the 49 and 52 levels.
Strong results there support the potential for increasing 2010
gold reserves in the HGZ for the first time in several years.
They include,
1.1 meters approximate true width of 3,706.9 grams per tonne
gold
at the 50 level and 1.7 meters approximate true width
of 1,826.3 grams per tonne gold below the 51 level.
In 2010, a connection drift was completed linking the Red Lake
Complex to the Campbell Complex in the deepest part of the mine.
This drift provides additional flexibility for HGZ development,
where a drill platform is currently targeting the HGZ hanging
wall between the 45 and 47 levels.
Exceptional results have been received to date, illustrating
strong continuity of portions of the upper HGZ that have
previously not been fully tested.
With a result including 34.7 meters approximate true width of
136.3 grams per tonne gold on the 46 level,
this area is expected to contribute new gold reserves
and resource additions.
In 2011, a sustained exploration program from both drifts
will continue to target this prolific gold zone from
several platforms.
Slides 2 and 3:
High Grade zone continues
In the upper Red Lake Complex, aggressive drilling and
development continues in the Far East Zone.
Drilling throughout the year targeted growth in reserves
and resources between the 13 and 21 levels.
Exploration drifting is currently underway on 21 level at
Red Lake to provide a drill horizon for 2011 and beyond to
infill and expand resources and reserves between the 18
and 23 levels.
The R Zone in the deep Party Wall at Red Lake comprises the
former boundary area between the Red Lake and Campbell mines
that had been previously underexplored.
Drilling throughout the year on the R zone has returned
significant assays that are adding reserves and resources
between the 30 and 37 levels.
Subsequent ore development has exposed these structures for
the first time.
Current resource models are being updated in the area and
a new exploration and development plan will be in place in
2011 to further test the
R Zone, which remains open at depth.
Cochenour
The Cochenour/Bruce Channel deposit is located below Goldcorp's
historic
Cochenour mine and is a key component of Goldcorp's
consolidation plans in the
Red Lake district.
A 2009 surface drilling program identified gold mineralization
in the Gap zone between the bottom of Cochenour (2200 Level)
and the top of the Bruce Channel discovery.
In 2010, underground drilling from the 2050 level verified
the continuity of gold-bearing structures below
Cochenour towards the Bruce Channel deposit.
For budget and planning purposes the Company has sized the
Cochenour project for a mineable deposit of 5 million gold ounces.
An initial gold mineral resource is expected for year-end.
Work on enlarging and upgrading the existing Cochenour shaft is
in progress and the development of a 5 kilometer drift and
high speed tram on the 5400 foot level connecting to
the Red Lake mine is underway.
This will enable
Cochenour/Bruce Channel ore to be hauled directly to
the Red Lake mine and processed at the existing mill facility.
The drift will also open up exploration over five kilometers
of untested ground in one of the world's richest gold districts.
Future exploration plans include additional drilling both from
surface and from underground including drilling from the
high speed tram drift.
The first of the drilling stations has been completed and
drilling nin this untested area is expected to commence in
2011 once the drift excavation is sufficiently advanced.

CONQUEST CLOSES TRANSACTIONS WITH DETOUR GOLD ON PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO DETOUR LAKE GOLD PROJECT
Release Date: 27-09-2010
Toronto, Ontario - September 27, 2010
Conquest Resources Limited -
(TSX-V: "CQR") announces that it has closed previously announced
transactions with Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") and
with NVI Mining Ltd. ("NVI"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of Breakwater Resources Ltd. ("Breakwater") relating to
Conquest's Aurora and Sunday Lake properties located in
the Detour Lake area of northeastern Ontario adjacent
to the Detour Lake Gold Project.
Pursuant to these transactions Conquest has:
* acquired from NVI the remaining 40% interest that it did not
already own in the Aurora and Sunday Lake properties,
together with NVI's 2% net smelter royalty interest in such properties,
for $1.0 million which was satisfied through the payment by
Conquest of $500,000 in cash and the issuance to NVI (Breakwater)
of 3,125,000 shares of Conquest; and
o sold to Detour Gold a 100% interest in the Aurora
Property for $2.0 million in cash and 100,000 shares of Detour Gold
and has granted Detour Gold an option to acquire a 50% joint venture
interest in Sunday Lake Property by incurring $1.0 million in
exploration expenditures on the Sunday Lake Property over the next
two years with a minimum of $500,000 prior to September 30, 2011.
The Sunday Lake Property -
lies immediately east of Detour Gold's Detour Lake Project, along
the eastern extension of the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone.
The joint venture option on the Sunday Lake Claims will allow
Detour Gold to further expand its interest in what is believed
to be a prospective area of this relatively under-explored portion
of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The Aurora Property -
lies south of Detour Gold's Detour Lake Project.
Detour Gold is acquiring the Aurora Property to accommodate
the infrastructure requirements for the development of its
Detour Lake mine and to further expand its regional exploration program.
The Aurora Property and the Sunday Lake Property each remain subject
to a 7.5% net profits interest held by Prism Resources Inc. which,
in the case of the Aurora Property, has been assumed by Detour Gold.
COMMENT
"We are very pleased to have concluded these transactions
with Breakwater and Detour Gold which will be beneficial for
all parties," said John Kearney, Chairman of Conquest.
"The deals have resulted in a transaction value to Conquest
of approximately $5.0 million of which $1 million offsets the
acquisition by Conquest from Breakwater of the outstanding 40%
interest and 2% royalty interest in the properties.
We look forward to working with Detour Gold, with its expertise
and extensive geological knowledge and understanding of the area,
to further explore the Sunday Lake Property."

Detour Gold to spend C$125 on mining support equipment, haulage trucks
Shares in the group rose on the announcement it will buy 18 Caterpillar trucks and various mining support equipment over the next two years for use at its Detour Lake gold mine
Posted:Friday,17 Sep 2010
(Reuters) -
Detour Gold Corp (DGC.TO: Quote)said it will spend C$125 million ($121.7 million) to buy mining support equipment and 18 Caterpillar haulage trucks over the next two years for its Detour Lake gold mine in north eastern Ontario.
With the order, the company has entered into commitments of about
C$304 million for the development of the Detour Lake project over the next 27 months, it said in a statement.
The Detour Lake deposit is Canada's largest pure gold play with
reserves of 11.4 million ounces, according to Detour Gold website. This is about 30 percent higher than its October 2009 estimate of 8.8 million ounces.
The Toronto-based gold explorer is evaluating financing proposals for the equipment purchases, including a proposal from Caterpillar Financial Services Corp, a unit of Caterpillar Inc (CAT.N: Quote).
The company said it expects to finalize the terms and conditions for the financing by October.
Six trucks of the initial purchase are to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2011, while 12 are to be supplied in the second half of 2012,Detour said.
The company said it signed an agreement with Toromont Industries Ltd (TIH.TO: Quote) for the life of mine requirement of up to 36 Caterpillar haulage trucks.
The company also named Julie Galloway as vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary.
Galloway joins from FNX Mining Co where she was corporate secretary.
Detour shares, which have gained about 26 percent since it raised C$252 million for its Detour Lake project late June, were up 3 percentat C$31.75 in afternoon trade Thursday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.($1=1.027 Canadian Dollar) (Reporting by Gowri Jayakumar in Bangalore; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)

MAJOR GOLD DISCOVERY NEXT DOOR TO GOLDCORP -
Conquest Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE: CQR)
is pleased to report the balance of the assays at depth from the
Company's first parent hole, CR-10-039, at the Alexander Property
in Red Lake, Ontario, and that gold mineralization
was intersected at a vertical depth of 1,615 metres
in magnetite- and sulphide-bearing, banded chert within
the Bruce Channel Formation, reporting 8.49 grams per tonne
over 1.00 metre.
BRUCE CHANNEL FORMATION HOSTED GOLD MINERALIZATION
The 8.49 grams per tonne intersection represents the deepest gold
mineralization intersected on the Alexander property to date
and is significant because it also demonstrates for the first time
that Bruce Channel Formation metasediments in the eastern portion
of the Red Lake Camp host gold mineralization.
Adjacent sampling indicates that a two metre thick envelope of elevated
gold values (0.1 to 0.3 grams per tonne) is located stratigraphically
above and below the 8.49 g/t anomalous assay.
True thickness of this horizon is unknown as it has never been
previously tested and is interpreted to outcrop approximately 1,700
metres up-dip on the northern portion of the Alexander Property under
the Red Lake Mine tailings pond.
Terence McKillen, President and CEO, commented on the ongoing exploration stating, "With an intersection of over one quarter of an ounce over one metre at a vertical depth of 1,615 metres we have demonstrated that there is gold at depth on Conquest's Alexander Property at Red Lake. The goal of this deep drill program is to demonstrate through systematic exploration that the Alexander property has the potential to host another large gold deposit, east of the Red Lake Gold Mine."
As previously reported, CR-10-039 intersected metasediments belonging to the Bruce Channel Formation beneath the Balmer Assemblage that were found to contain several encouraging 10 to 50 metre thick sections of sheared metasediments that were locally found to contain massive sulphide replacement and cherty iron formations.
The first parent hole also located a favorable shear zone approximately seven metres true thickness in Balmer Assemblage basalts at a depth of 790 vertical metres that reported marginally anomalous gold values and which remains untested along strike and is open at depth. (see Press Release - May 27, 2010).
RESULTS FROM THE FIRST WEDGE HOLE (CR-10-039-W1)
The first hole of the deep drill program, CR-10-039, was collared in a steeply dipping northeast direction from the southwest corner of the Alexander Property and was completed to a total depth of 2,084 metres in 75 days of drilling. The subsequent hole, CR-10-039-W1, was wedged at a depth of 320 meters from the parent hole and was completed to a total depth of 1,206 metres in 28 days.
CR-10-039-W1 intersected the targeted structures within the Balmer Assemblage above 1,180 metres down-hole depth before intersecting the Bruce Channel formational contact. Assays from within the Balmer Assemblage reported marginally anomalous gold values from the targeted structures between 700 and 1,000 metres vertical depth. Additional assays are pending from the bottom portion of CR-10-039-W1 at the Balmer - Bruce Channel formational contact.
COMMENCEMENT OF SECOND PARENT HOLE (CR-10-040)
A second parent hole, CR-10-040, has been collared approximately 400 metres to the east of the first parent hole. This second deep hole targets a broader section of Balmer volcanics which have been interpreted to contain sheared horizons below the 300 metre level where previous drilling intersected elevated gold values. The hole is planned to a depth of 1,700 metres and will be maintained for subsequent wedging.
ABOUT THE ALEXANDER PROPERTY
Conquest's Alexander Gold Project is located in Balmer Township in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp. The Alexander Property is situated within the "Mine Trend" adjacent to Goldcorp's Red Lake and Campbell gold mines, which contain historic production and current resources in excess of 25 million ounces of gold, and approximately 1,000 metres east of the Red Lake No. 1 Shaft headframe and within 400 metres of the Far East gold zone at the Red Lake Mine. Many of the regional structures that have associated gold mineralization in the area of Goldcorp's two producing mines cross on to the Alexander Property.

Conquest Amends Agreement With Detour Gold Corporation on Conquest's Properties Adjacent to Detour Lake Gold Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 10, 2010) - Conquest Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:CQR) announces that it has amended a previously executed letter agreement with Detour Gold Corporation ("Detour Gold") pursuant to which Detour Gold will purchase Conquest's interest in the Aurora Property and will have an option to acquire a 50% interest in Conquest's Sunday Lake Property.
Conquest has now entered into a separate agreement with NVI Mining Ltd. ("NVI"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Breakwater Resources Ltd., to purchase the remaining 40% interest that it does not already own in the Aurora and Sunday Lake properties located in the Detour Lake area, Ontario and to purchase the 2% net smelter royalty interest therein held by NVI. The consideration for the acquisition from NVI is $1.0 million to be satisfied through the payment by Conquest of $500,000 in cash and the issuance, subject to regulatory approval, of 3,125,000 shares of Conquest.
Under the amended agreement with Detour Gold, Conquest will convey to Detour Gold, subject to regulatory and other approvals, a 100% undivided interest in the Aurora Property free and clear of the 2% net smelter royalty. The consideration has been amended to a cash consideration of $2.0 million, rather than $1.0 million, to reflect that at the time of Detour Gold's acquisition from Conquest the Aurora Property and the Sunday Lake Property will not be subject to the 2% net smelter royalty and that Detour Gold will not be obligated to incur any exploration expenditures other than the Sunday Lake Expenditures (as defined below). The consideration will still include the issuance, subject to regulatory approval, of 100,000 shares of Detour Gold to Conquest. In addition, Detour Gold will have an option to acquire a 50% joint venture interest in the Sunday Lake Property by completing $1.0 million in exploration expenditures on the Sunday Lake Property (the "Sunday Lake Expenditures") over the next two years with a minimum of $500,000 prior to August 31, 2011. The Aurora Property and the Sunday Lake Property each remain subject to an interest held by Prism Resources Inc. equal to 7.5% of the net profits from the properties.
The Sunday Lake Property lies immediately east of Detour Gold's Detour Lake Project, along the eastern extension of the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, in what is believed to be a prospective area of this relatively under-explored part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The Aurora Property lies south of Detour Gold's Detour Lake Project. Detour Gold is acquiring the Aurora Property to accommodate the infrastructure requirements for the development of its Detour Lake mine.
COMMENT
"We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Breakwater and a revised agreement with Detour Gold which will be beneficial for all parties," said Terence McKillen, President and Chief Executive of Conquest. "The amended agreement will result in a transaction value to Conquest of approximately $4 million of which $1 million will offset the acquisition by Conquest from Breakwater of the 40% interest in the properties that it did not previously own as well as the purchase of the outstanding royalty interest. In addition, as part of the agreement, Detour Gold will expend a minimum of $1 million on the Sunday Lake Property over a two year period with a minimum of $500,000 per year. Detour Gold's geological knowledge and expertise in the area will be invaluable in the future exploration on the Sunday Lake Property," added Mr. McKillen.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Conquest is exploring several gold projects in Ontario. These include the Alexander Gold Project at Red Lake; the Aurora and Sunday Lake properties at Detour Lake; the King Bay Gold Project at Sturgeon Lake (60% interest); and the Smith Lake Gold Project at Missanabie.
There are 83,713,637 shares of Conquest issued and outstanding.

RE: Conquest Resources Limited: First Deep Hole Completed at Alexander Gold Project
EXPLORATION GEOLOGY AND RESULTS
Hole CR-10-039 intersected a favorable shear zone in basalts
belonging to the Balmer Assemblage over 10 metres in the hole
(approximately 7.2 metres true thickness) at a depth of 790
vertical metres.
The zone is characterized by three metres of hanging wall
brecciation followed by a zone of shearing and strong silica-
quartz-carbonate and biotite alteration over this interval.
Similar rocks to these at the adjacent Goldcorp Red Lake mine
are host to high grade mineralization within similar shear
structures that are believed to extend onto the Alexander
Property.
Assay values from this structure returned marginally anomalous
gold values and the zone provides encouragement for gold
mineralizing potential both up- and down-dip along this
structure which is untested and open in all directions.
The underlying Bruce Channel sediments were also found
to contain several encouraging 10 to 50 metre thick sections
of sheared sediments which were locally found to contain
massive sulphide replacement and cherty iron formations.
Assays for sampling within the Bruce Channel Formation are
pending.
True thickness of these horizons is unknown as they have never
been tested and outcrop 1,700 metres up-dip on the northern
portion of the Alexander Property under
the Red Lake Mine tailings pond.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=50681869
http://www.conquestresources.net/project_details.php?pid=3&s=o
Gold mineralization was intersected in four drill holes and gold values were obtained from surface trenching in the sulphide zone.
Drill holes ranged between 246 metres and 387 metres in length.
The Sulphide Zone has been delineated over a strike length of
about 400 metres and by between 7 and 37 metres in width.
In addition, gold-bearing quartz-carbonate veins were
intersected within a parallel structure about 40 metres to the
south.
The Sulphide Zone and gold mineralization are believed to be
similar to the sulphide zones, which were the host of Goldcorp's
original Red Lake Mine from 1945 until the discovery of
the High Grade Zone at depth in 1995.
Goldcorp's No. 1 Shaft, which is still the main hoisting shaft,
is located about 2 km to the west.
Conquest's new Sulphide Zone is on strike within the Mine Trend Deformation Zone.
Goldcorp has stated that it expects that in the long term its
forecast production will come from the Sulphide Zones in
the Far East Zone (discovered in 2001 and expanded in 2004).
The Far East Zone, which will be developed from the No. 3 Shaft,
is believed to be located about 450 metres southwest
of Conquest's Alexander property.
In addition, the presence of goldbearing quartz-carbonate veins
approximately 40 metres to the south of the new Sulphide Zone
confirms that high grade gold values can occur within
the Alexander Property over a considerable strike extent.
The Sulphide Zone has been tested by six holes drilled in 2004
of which four intersected significant mineralization.
The Sulphide Zone comprises massive and disseminated pyrite,
pyrrhotite and minor arsenopyrite which occurs in an altered
mafic volcanic sequence along the footwall contact of a mafic
intrusive body.
The zone has been traced in a northwest-southeast orientation
from surface to a vertical depth of about 130 metres.
The associated alteration includes quartz-carbonate +\-
tourmaline in strongly sheared basalts accompanied by intense
oxidation of the massive sulphides.
The highest gold values were noted in Hole CR-04-32 which
reported 17.6 gm/t gold over 0.1 metres in a southwest-dipping
quartz-carbonate vein.
Hole CR-04-26 reported 4.6 gm/t gold over 0.31 metres in fine
grained sheared basalt with quartz+\-carbonate+\-tourmaline
alteration together with massive and disseminated pyrite and
pyrrhotite replacement.
Hole CR-04-20 intersected 12.82 gm/t gold over 0.14 metres in a
similar quartz carbonate vein to that intersected in hole 32.
Holes CR-04-28 and 29 did not intersect the projected extension
of the Sulphide Zone to the southeast, suggesting that it may
be offset by faulting or may occur at a deeper level.
Hole CR-04-24 intersected 5.5 gm/t gold over 0.12 metres in
quartz-carbonate veins within the basaltintrusive contact zone,
some 350 metres further to the southeast.
The Zone was identified utilizing geochemical and geophysical
surveys.
More detailed geophysical techniques may be able to help trace
the zone further along strike and to depth.
A further induced polarization anomaly located 300 metres to the
southwest, within the hangingwall basalts, may reflect
a deeper mineralized target.
Mineralized Zones & Structures
Conquest has identified a number of mineralized structures on
the Alexander Property.
These mineralized structures have the same southeasterly trend
as that of the regional "Mine Trend" deformation zone and
other structural features which are known to have an important
relationship with economic gold mineralization in
the Goldcorp and Campbell mines.
Conquest hypothesizes that the surface trace of the extension
of the Campbell Fault Zone or the North C Zone, hosts to
significant mineralization at the Campbell and Goldcorp mines,
crosses the southwestern corner of the Conquest claim block.
Previous work on the Alexander property twenty years ago
delineated a zone of sporadic gold mineralization 1,600 metres
in length.
The gold mineralization is dominantly associated with
carbonatized and silicified mafic volcanic rocks
(andesites and basalts) as well as with minor mafic and
ultra-mafic intrusive bodies and chemical metasediments.
On the Alexander Property, carbonate veining is noticeably
more intense in the area drilled in 1981.
Regional distribution of gold mineralization and associated
alteration in the Red Lake camp indicates that proximal zones
of ankerite (iron, magnesium, calcium) alteration,
accompanied by intense potassic metasomatism, and the
presence of arsenic and gold, even at trace levels,
indicate most favourable conditions for
the occurrence of gold mineralization.
Helicopter-borne, DIGHEM electro-magnetic (HEM),
VLF-EM, resistivity and magnetic surveys carried out in
the 1980s indicate 10 conductors present on the Alexander
claims, all of which are parallel, or sub-parallel,
to the main regional foliation (the "Mine Trend").

Conquest Resources Limited: First Deep Hole Completed at Alexander Gold Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 27, 2010) - Conquest Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:CQR) reports the completion of the first "parent hole" in the deep drilling program at its 100% owned Alexander Gold Project in Red Lake, Ontario which is located within 1,000 metres of the Goldcorp Inc. Red Lake Gold Mine Complex in Balmertown.
During February 2010, Conquest commenced a deep drilling program which consists of approximately 8,000 metres of NQ sized surface drilling with a series of three deep parent holes and approximately eight wedged holes.
The first hole in the deep drill program, CR-10-039, was collared in a steeply dipping northeast direction from the southwest corner of the Alexander Property and was completed in 75 days of drilling to a hole depth of 2,084 metres. This hole is the deepest drilled on the property to date.
EXPLORATION GEOLOGY AND RESULTS
Hole CR-10-039 intersected a favorable shear zone in basalts belonging to the Balmer Assemblage over 10 metres in the hole (approximately 7.2 metres true thickness) at a depth of 790 vertical metres. The zone is characterized by three metres of hanging wall brecciation followed by a zone of shearing and strong silica-quartz-carbonate and biotite alteration over this interval. Similar rocks to these at the adjacent Goldcorp Red Lake mine are host to high grade mineralization within similar shear structures that are believed to extend onto the Alexander Property.
Assay values from this structure returned marginally anomalous gold values and the zone provides encouragement for gold mineralizing potential both up- and down-dip along this structure which is untested and open in all directions.
The underlying Bruce Channel sediments were also found to contain several encouraging 10 to 50 metre thick sections of sheared sediments which were locally found to contain massive sulphide replacement and cherty iron formations. Assays for sampling within the Bruce Channel Formation are pending. True thickness of these horizons is unknown as they have never been tested and outcrop 1,700 metres up-dip on the northern portion of the Alexander Property under the Red Lake Mine tailings pond.
Terence McKillen, President and CEO, commenting on the ongoing exploration stating "We are pleased that the first deep hole has intersected similar structures and alteration within the same geological formations which host one of the North America's richest gold deposits The location and geometries of these targeted shear zones provide critical information at depth where information was previously only inferred from shallow drilling in the upper 700 metres of the Balmer volcanics. This first parent hole is now being used for subsequent wedging and the program is on track and on budget."
WEDGING IN THE PARENT HOLE CR-10-039
The first wedge hole was started at a hole depth of 320 metres. Two primary targets have been identified for this wedge hole. The first is a sheared and altered structure in the Balmer volcanics and the second is a broad, 400 metre thick horizon of locally sheared and brecciated sediments below the Balmer Assemblage belonging to the Bruce Channel Formation which was discovered in the drilling of the parent hole, CR-10-039.
ABOUT THE ALEXANDER PROPERTY
Conquest's Alexander Gold Project is located in Balmer Township in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp. The Alexander Property is situated within the "Mine Trend" adjacent to Goldcorp's Red Lake and Campbell gold mines, which have historic production and current resources in excess of 25 million ounces of gold, and approximately 1,000 metres east of the Red Lake No. 1 Shaft headframe and within 400 metres of the Far East gold zone at the Red Lake Mine.

act as a financial advisor to Conquest to provide ongoing financial advisory and consulting services.
Conquest has agreed to grant PowerOne 750,000 stock options under the Company's stock option plan,
each exercisable at a price of $0.13 to acquire one share of Conquest (after giving effect to the Consolidation),
for a period of two years, subject to completion of the Acquisition. PowerOne, an Exempt Market Dealer, is a long-term investor focused

under the Company's stock option plan in replacement of existing options currently outstanding in CCEC.
Each Replacement Option will be exercisable at $0.15 to acquire one share of Conquest (after giving effect to the Consolidation) and expire in September 2021.
CCEC holds an extensive package of mining claims and has approximately $900,000 in a combination of cash and marketable securities. See Conquest News Releases July 16, August 7, and August 27, 2020.
Upon completion of the Acquisition, and release of the KL Escrow Funds and Non-Brokered Escrowed Funds to Conquest,
Conquest is expected to have a total of approximately $5,200,000 in available funds to pursue its planned drilling and exploration activities, of which approximately $800,000 will be flow through funds.
Final acceptance of the Acquisition by the TSXV is subject fulfilling the requirements of the TSXV.
Canadian ContinentalProperties
The CCEC land package consists of almost 10,000 hectares of
underexplored mining lands in Northern Ontario, which the Company
believes are highly prospective for precious and base metals.
The land package includes the Teckmag1 and Eaglerock claims, which
immediately surround Conquest's Golden Rose Property, situated in Afton
and Scholes townships at Emerald Lake approximately 65 km northeast of
Sudbury, Ontario.
When combined with the Company's current land holdings, Conquest will
control over 130 square kilometers making it one of the largest land
holders in the Temagami Mining Camp area.
Conquest's Golden Rose Property
Conquest's Golden Rose Property encompasses patented and staked mining claims measuring 770 hectares in size that encompass the
former Golden Rose gold mine and highly prospective North and South banded iron formations at Emerald Lake. The Golden Rose gold mine
(which is currently flooded) consists of more than six kilometres of underground workings, as well as a three (3) compartment, 228-metre-deep shaft,
and a modern decline ramp from surface to the 6th level of the mine. An inclined winze connects the 6th and 7th levels to the 5th level of the mine.
It is reported that between 1935 and 1941, mining operations at the Golden Rose gold mine by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited
(Cominco) produced 46,000 ounces of gold from structurally controlled, shallow to steeply dipping, high-grade quartz-pyrite veins, hosted almost exclusively
in an east-west trending Banded Iron Formation (BIF). The property largely lay dormant from 1941 to 1982, when exploration resumed.
Diamond drilling of the mine sequence stratigraphy in 1984 intersected numerous high-grade gold intercepts. This drill campaign led to reopening and mine
development by Noramco between 1986-87 which included widening of the mine adit and portal down to the 600-foot level. Minor gold production of approximately 7,000 oz. was reported.
Further, surface drilling between 1984-2011 by a previous operator identified mineralization lying adjacent to known underground development.
It was reported by the previous operator that diamond drilling between 2009-2011 intersected gold grades as high as 155.7 grams of gold per tonne over 1.82 metres.
However, the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and Conquest has not undertaken sufficient exploration to define
a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource.
Share Consolidation
At the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on August 31, 2020, Conquest shareholders approved the Consolidation.
It is intended that Articles of Amendment in prescribed form will be filed with the Director under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA")
immediately prior to completion of the Acquisition and such Articles of Amendment will become effective upon the issuance by the Director under the OBCA of a Certificate of Amendment.
See Conquest News Release August 31, 2020.
The TSXV has conditionally approved the Consolidation subject to the Company fulfilling all the conditions of the TSXV in respect of the Consolidation.
ABOUT CONQUEST
Conquest Resources Limited, incorporated in 1945, is a mineral exploration company that is exploring for gold on mineral properties in Ontario.
Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Project,acquired in December 2017, located at Emerald Lake approximately 65 kilometres northeast of Sudbury, Ontario,
which hosts the former Golden Rose Gold Mine and is underlain by highly prospective Abitibi greenstone geology along a strike length of seventeen (17) kilometres.
The property is located deep within the regionally large, unexplained Emerald Lake (Temagami) Anomaly which closely resembles the magnetic signature of the adjacent Sudbury Basin.
Conquest also holds a 100% interest in the Alexander Gold Property located immediately east of the
Red Lake and Campbell mines in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp on the important "Mine Trend" regional structure.
Conquest's property is almost entirely surrounded by Evolution Mining land holdings.
In addition, Conquest owns a 100% interest in the Smith Lake Gold Property of six patented claims and 181 staked mining claims to the north,
west and south of the former Renabie Gold Mine in Rennie Township in northern Ontario that had reported gold production of over 1,000,000 ounces.

The Sudbury Basin: Ontario’s trillion dollar mining camp
Last month, I had the pleasure of participating in the 16th Annual Sudbury Mining Week -
Jun 18, 2008 10:22 PM By: Sudbury.com Staff
It was appropriate to celebrate Mining Week in Canada, and especially in Sudbury –
one of the most prolific mining camps in the world. In Canada,
mining contributes $40 billion dollars or 5 per cent of
Canada’s GDP every year and pays $4.7 billion in corporate taxes alone.
This industry directly employs 370,000 Canadians and
is the largest private sector employer of Aboriginals.
Canada remains the leading source of new capital for
the global mining industry accounting for 36 per cent
of the $53 billion raised in 2007 or net $19 billion.
As a mining engineer who has spent his career in Africa,
the United Sates and Latin America, I can confirm that there
are few places in the world where mining is embraced and
supported as it is in Sudbury.
However, even in Sudbury, it is important that the mining industry support events such as Mining Week to communicate with local communities and, perhaps, persuade some young people to consider this industry as a future career choice.
The Sudbury area is a 1.85 billion year old meteorite impact crater and the first mineral discoveries were made here in 1883.
Let me give you a few numbers about;
Sudbury which may
surprise even local residents.
The total ore mined to date in Sudbury is
approximately 1.7 billion tonnes with
40 billion pounds of nickel,
36 billion pounds of copper,
70 million ounces of platinum, palladium and
gold and 283 million ounces of silver recovered.
At today’s commodity prices, total historic production
and current known reserves in Sudbury represent a
one trillion dollar value.
The community is the richest mining district in
North America and among the top ten most important
globally.
Sudbury accounts for about half the mining activity in Ontario, Canada’s largest mineral producing province.
The value of Ontario’s mining sector is about
$10 billion annually (2007 figures).
I think these numbers give you some idea of what an
incredible mining area Sudbury is and the impact
it has had on the wealth, not only of the City of
Greater Sudbury, but of Ontario and Canada.
In addition to exploration for gold at
The Golden Rose Gold Mine proiect site,

Conquest said two other styles of economic mineral deposits have been identified
within the enlarged Sudbury land package....
Golden Rose Mine- Contains a reserve
2.4 million tonnes at 0.26 ounces of gold a tonne that contains 619,000 ounces of gold.

Mining Companies Flock To Stake Claims
In Red Lake After Recent Gold Strikes In That Area
Conquest's Alexander Property comprises 27 patented claims
acres adjoining
Goldcorp's Red Lake mine.

Alexander Gold Project
Red Lake, Ontario
is claimed by Goldcorp to be
the richest gold mine in the world
The Alexander Property is situated within 2 kilometres of more than
28 million ounces of gold from past production and current resources
and within 400 metres of Goldcorp’s Far East Zone gold discovery.
The Alexander Property is of ample size to accommodate a high-grade
gold deposit at depth as repetition of the adjacent deposits at
Goldcorp’s Red Lake gold mine.
The stratigraphy under the property remains essentially untested
below 700 metres depth.
The richest gold bearing ore zones exist below a vertical depth of
1,300 metres in the High Grade Zone at
the Goldcorp Red Lake gold mine which is less
than 800 metres from the property boundary.
Conquest's target on the Alexander claims is an extension,
or repetition, of the mineralization at the Red Lake mine.
The Red Lake mine is claimed by Goldcorp to be
the richest gold mine in the world with
approximately 28,000,000 ounces of historic
production and current reserves.
https://www.conquestresources.com/project/alexander-gold/
Location and Property Description
Conquest's Alexander Property comprises 27 patented claims
covering 448 hectares (1,107 acres) adjoining
Goldcorp's Red Lake mine.
Conquest’s land is situated just beyond the security gate at
Goldcorp’s Red Lake gold mine and is almost completely
surrounded by Goldcorp's Red Lake mine property.
The Alexander claim holdings are patented and do not
require any annual minimum expenditures, other than
nominal property taxes.
