BOURDALA (LAYE DIARRA)

Great Quest Metals reported the final drill results from the drill holes 18 through 22 of the 2003-04 diamond drill program on the Bourdala concessions in western Mali, West Africa. Hole DH 18-BR was drilled in the Bourdala Sud-Ouest zone to test for a northeasterly extension of the zone, however, the latest drill assay results were negligible. Similiarly, drilling in the Drin Drin and Nanike Sodjigui area returned lower grade gold assays than previous drilling. Hole DH 22-NG, the final hole of the program, was drilled in the Niaragui area. This hole intersected 1 m of 2.00 g/t Au from 67.9 to 68.9 m.

Great Quest has announced the latest results from the diamond drill program on the Bourdala concessions in Mali, West Africa. DH-14-NG and DH-15-NG were drilled to intersect a high grade gold zone under a pit. The holes did not intersect high grade values. The holes were located 58 and 53 m east of the high grade zone, resectively. However, DH-15-NG, did intersect 1.86 g/t Au over 2.0 m at a start depth of 62.6 m. In the TD area, DDH-16-TD was drilled to pass under DDH-02-TT which had intersected 5.5 m of 2.91 g/t Au and 7.0 m of 4.24 g/t Au. The first zone was intersected from 48.4 to 57.8 m. This gave 9.4 m of 0.76 g/t Au which included 1.0 m of 4.27 m and 1.5 m of 1.01. The second zone, identified by geology, gave negligible values. Drilling is continuing.

A 2000 m diamond drill program on schedule to begin in early November.The digging and sampling of pits in the Niaragui zone was largely inconclusive because of a layer of laterite up to 2 metres thick over much of the area.
