GQ Great Quest Fertilizer Ltd

Victor J. E. Jones, President, reports that the Great Quest Metals Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:GQ)(FRANKFURT:GQM) ("Great Quest" or the "Company") has completed a
limited rotary air blast drilling program of 48 holes (608 m) on its 1206 sq km
Tilemsi Phosphate Project, located in Eastern Mali. The Phase 2 drilling program
was limited to the Tarkint Est concession. This second phase of drilling focused
on hills and plain areas identified but not drilled during the initial Phase of
drilling on the project (See News Release September 26, 2011). Samples from this
drilling will be similarly sent to ALS in Bamako for preparation for XRF
analysis in Vancouver, BC.


As part of Phase 2, Company geologists also dug 11 pits within the areas drilled
during the initial Phase and carried out a visual geological and lithological
examination of the phosphate layer. A 100kg bulk sample was taken from the
phosphate layer in each pit and shipped to Bamako for preparation and for onward
shipment of half of the bulk sample to MINTEK, South Africa for metallurgical
and processing analysis. In addition, a subsample from each of the pit samples
has been shipped to ALS Vancouver for XRF analysis for P205. Drilling results
will assist with the planning of an Aircore drilling program, now scheduled to
commence January 2012, on a 250m spacing grid.


"Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Phase 2 personnel in Mali, Great Quest is
pleased to have advanced the exploration work at Tilemsi in line with our
targets for 2011. We look forward to the continued development of this unique
and important West African phosphate project in the upcoming year," commented
Victor J. E. Jones, President and CFO of Great Quest Metals Ltd.


With Phase 2 drilling now complete, the Company has responded to recent security
issues in the Northern region of Mali by temporarily withdrawing all exploration
and drilling teams from the project area in the interest of the safety of our
valued personnel.


Phase 3 Planned for January 2012

The Company has now identified the phosphate horizon on areas of both the Tin
Hina and Tarkint Est concessions, and will drill the Ader Foul concession in
Phase 3. It is anticipated that Phase 3 drilling will commence in January using
an Aircore drill rig and that Phase 3 will include geological work and
additional pits to continue the geological examination of the phosphate layer.
