Vancouver, B.C. September 20, 2011 - La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX-V: LAQ / Frankfurt: LQK ("La Quinta" or "The Company") is pleased to report that Induced Polarization ("IP") surveys have been completed on the Carruthers Pass (British Columbia), Black Jack (Nevada) and Easter (Nevada) projects.
Approximately 1.6 km pole-dipole IP was completed on surface at the Carruthers Pass project. Additionally, approximately 250 m downhole IP was surveyed in a diamond drillhole completed in the 2011 drilling campaign. The results will be used to construct a three dimensional model of electrical responders on a portion of the project. Scott Geophysics (British Columbia) is the contractor for these IP surveys. The final technical report of these results is anticipated in early October.
On the Black Jack project, northern Elko County, Nevada, approximately 7 km pole-dipole IP was completed on the surface. The results are expected to focus exploration efforts on the sulfide-bearing silver-lead-zinc veins at this project. SJ Geophysics (British Columbia) is contractor for this survey. The final technical report of these results is expected by the end of September.
Approximately 8 km pole-dipole IP was completed on surface at the Easter project, Lincoln County, Nevada. In addition, a drill hole from recent drilling was used to create a three-dimensional electrical profile of the drill-indicated resource in the Main Vein area. SJ Geophysics was also the contractor on this survey. The final technical report of these results is anticipated in October. The Easter property is subject to an earn-in joint-venture from Pilot Gold Inc., whereby La Quinta can earn 65% by expending $2 million on exploration prior to January 4, 2015.

About La Quinta Resources Corporation
La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company actively seeking mineral opportunities for the benefit of our stakeholders. Currently the Company is focused on exploring for gold and silver on the Easter Project and on its Black Jack properties in Nevada. The Easter Project is underlain by an epithermal quartz-adularia vein stockwork system hosted within Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Caliente Caldron Complex of southeastern Nevada. Numerous drill programs were conducted over the past 27 years by several operators. The resultant 121 holes and five adits were used to outline a 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6 million tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038 oz/t) and 14 g/t silver (0.4 oz/t) within an area of gold mineralization with a strike length of at least 6,450 feet (1,966 m) and drill-defined widths up to 90 feet (27.4 m). Significant prior intercepts include up to 0.194 oz. Au / ton over 90 feet (6.6 g/t over 27.4m true thickness) (including 0.549 oz. Au / ton over 15 feet [18.8 g/t over 4.5m]) and 0.084 oz. / ton over 110 feet (including 0.534 oz. Au / ton over 5 feet) [2.88 g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in 1.52 m]. The Black Jack property, an early-stage exploration target in NE Nevada, consists of old mine workings that contain silver- gold-base metals veins hosted in Ordovician limestones that overlie nearby Cambrian shale. The Carruthers Pass property is a massive sulfide project with copper, gold and silver located 70km south of Kemess copper-gold mine. The project consists of 8 claims covering 3,250 hectares. No resources have been identified in either the Black Jack or Carruthers Pass properties.
