VANCOUVER, BC - Willis W. Osborne, President of Great Quest Metals Ltd. (TSXV: GQ; Frankfurt: GQM), is very pleased to announce that the Malian Government granted an Autorisation d'Exploration on a 230 square kilometre phosphate concession, designated as the Tin Hina concession, in the Tilemsi area, eastern Mali, West Africa to Engrais Phosphates du Mali-SA. Great Quest holds an 88% interest in Engrais Phosphates du Mali-SA.
A preliminary exploration survey, as required under the terms of the permit, has been completed. During the program, Company geologists outlined a substantial occurrence of phosphate rock on top of a 4,000 x 7,000 metre hill. A total of 58 samples from 6 pits and 31 outcrops were taken within the concession during the program. The samples have been submitted for assay to determine the content of P2 O5, contained mainly in the mineral, apatite. On September 3, 2009, the Government of Mali increased the concession to 417 square kilometres which includes all of the Tin Hina - Tin Behouki zone.
