GoldQuest reports its operations were unaffected by Hurricane Irma

GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: GQC) (FRANKFURT: M1W) (BERLIN: M1W) (“GoldQuest” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Category 5 hurricane Irma has had minimal impact on the Company’s operations in the Dominican Republic.

All the Company’s personnel are safe.
As a prudent precaution, the Company paused field activities on Thursday September 9, 2017 and anticipates returning to its substantial field programs including drilling at the Cachimbo Discovery tomorrow, an Induced Polarization geophysical program and geochemical sampling complimenting ongoing detailed mapping in advance of drill target selection.
