[{"type":"text","content":"GoldQuest Provides Update on 2025 Drilling and Metallurgical Program at Romero Gold-Copper Project, Dominican RepublicVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSXV: GQC) (OTCQX: GDQMF) (\"GoldQuest\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing 2025 drilling and metallurgical testwork program at the 100%-owned Romero Gold-Copper Project in the Dominican Republic.Completed 5 metallurgical drillholes totalling 1,906 metres; approximately 1,600 m of representative core selected from all holes for advanced locked-cycle and variability testwork at ALS Kamloops, with first results expected in March 2026 and final report anticipated by late April/early May 2026. Geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling advancing on schedule: 5 dedicated geotech holes (approximately 1,600 m) plus 12 hydrogeological holes (2 completed, 2 in progress), all expected to be finished by February 2026 to support Feasibility Study engineering design. One additional rig mobilizing in December and more in January to the high-priority Cachimbo discovery target to initiate resource delineation drilling and test additional early-stage targets along the Romero-Cachimbo mineralized corridor. Once the geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling is completed, GoldQuest plans to transition these drills to Romero resource expansion drilling and to test proximal targets including the Romero Gap target.Integration of new structural, geophysical and geological datasets into machine learning (AI) targeting software now underway following completion of district-scale structural review - expected to help refine and add additional quality exploration targets for 2026.Since the program commenced in September 2025, the Company has successfully completed five metallurgical drill holes totalling 1,906 metres (Figure 1). These holes were specifically designed to provide fresh core from the already recognized Mineral Reserves area for advanced metallurgical testing and obtain detailed geotechnical information and samples in support of the ongoing Feasibility Study.All the first five holes have visually confirmed high-grade mineralization at the core of the Romero deposit, showing multiple mineralization events, including massive sulphides, silicification, brecciation and other favorable alteration styles.
