VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - March 26, 2014) - Great Quest Metals Ltd (the "Company" or "Great Quest") (TSX VENTURE: GQ) is pleased to report positive results from field work at the Tilemsi Phosphate project in Mali, West Africa.

Bulk sampling was conducted in October 2013, for the purposes of testing for detailed engineering and for the fabrication of beneficiated phosphate product for 2014 field demonstrations.

Analysis of the material has returned grades notably higher than the drill inferred resource grade.

Outcrop samples AFL17 through AFL20 are the first results from the Aderfoul license and prove its prospectivity - with phosphate grades in excess of 30% P₂O₅.

These new results extend mineralization for more than 1000m along strike from the boundary of the resource block of Tin Hina (20MT at 24.24% P₂O₅).

A total of 6.5 tonnes of material was collected from 21 pits and cliff faces, and each assayed individually.

Grades ranged from 26.3% to 33.9% P₂O_5, giving an average of 29.93% P₂O₅.

The bulk sample assays compare favorably with the average grade of the inferred resource of 50 MT at 24.3% P₂O₅.

The bulk samples taken in October were compared to the closest rotary air blast drill hole results used in determining the inferred resource.

The larger bulk sample grades were all higher than the drill holes by variable amounts (see attached map).

The current results corroborate pit sampling results from late 2011 (see PR from February 1st, 2012), which demonstrated average results higher by about 5% P₂O₅- 29.3% P₂O₅ in the pit samples as compared with 24.1% P₂O₅ from adjacent drill holes.�

The rotary air blast drill was used for the resource estimate as at the time there was no other alternative available.

The results recorded during this bulk sample program both from pits and outcrops sampling suggest that the grades of resources at Tilemsi were underestimated.

Jed Richardson, President and CEO, commented on the results, "Beyond the positive grade surprise, the bulk sampling program itself was an important milestone, as the first field program conducted since trouble in Malis north forced a cessation of field work in December 2011.

Security in the region continues to improve giving the Company the confidence to continue on site work, and move forward with pilot scale production."

The Company would also like to report that it has successfully renewed the permit relating to the Sonoukou gold project, with the Malian Ministry of Mines.

All permits are in good standing, and the Company enjoys a collaborative relationship with the Malian administration.
