Conquest Reports Second Quarter Results 2021 and Grants Incentive Stock Options

Conquest Resources Limited (TSXV: CQR) ("Conquest") reports its second quarter results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the associated management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 which are available on the Company's website at www.conquestresources.com or under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com

Q2 & RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Construction and preparation for the Belfast-TeckMag field camp was completed at the beginning of June 2021. The planned 10,000-meter diamond drilling program commenced on June 5.
  • During the six-week period between June 5 and July 16, Conquest completed 12 drill holes, 3 of which have encountered significant sulfide mineralization. Drilling resumed on August 9, following a scheduled two-week break in the second half of July. The program remains on time and on budget.
  • Drill hole BC21-05 intersected sections of disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite mineralization in the form of disseminations, sulphidic horizons, and breccia units over a core length of 26 meters. Drill hole BC21-11 intersected numerous zones of pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite within chlorite-altered metasediments, in the form of sulphidic horizons and disseminations. Drill hole BC21-02 intersected sections of semi-massive to massive sulphides over a core length of 5 meters.
  • Subsequent to the end of Q2 in July 2021, Conquest completed a 155-line kilometer airborne MobileMT survey west of Emerald Lake. The results from the survey revealed a large area of low resistivity south of the TeckMag leases and away from the main IF trend and is encouraging for exploration for both Archean VMS and mafic intrusive related deposits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $1,067,531 or $0.008 per share. The operating expenses included exploration expenditures of $786,294 and stock-based compensation expense of $184,217. The increased exploration costs incurred in Q2 of 2021, in comparison with previous quarters, are resulted from the ramp-up of the current drilling program at the Company's Belfast-TeckMag Project since the beginning of June 2021. 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $1,834,282 or $0.014 per share. The operating expenses included net acquisition cost of $107,100, exploration expenditures of $1,150,369 and stock-based compensation expense of $339,685. 

The increase in the operating loss in the first half of 2021, in comparison with that of 2020, is mainly resulted from the increased exploration activities and expenditures on the Belfast-TeckMag Project and the acquisition of additional mineral rights associated with the Belfast-TeckMag Project in March 2021. 

At June 30, 2021, the Company had total current assets of $4,006,156, including cash and cash equivalents of $3,764,732 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $388,156. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had no proceeds or expenditures from financing or investing activities. The proceeds from its previous flow-through share financing have been fully expended on qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures as at June 30, 2021.

Grant of Incentive Stock Options

The Board of Directors has approved the granting of 1,800,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers and consultants under the Company's Stock Option Plan, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. 

All of the stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.15 per share for a term of five years and will vest quarterly over a period of two years. 

As of the date hereof, the total number of Conquest shares outstanding is 134,637,106.
