[{"type":"text","content":"TORONTO / Dec 10, 2024 / Business Wire / Great Quest Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: GQ) (“Great Quest” or the “Company”) provides an update to its shareholders on the progress at the Belmont prospect and announces the resignation of Dr. David Shaw from the Company’s Board of Directors. A combination of surface geochemistry, geophysics and geological mapping has led to the definition of 18 individual targets at the Belmont Prospect in Namibia. These targets will form the basis of a drilling campaign planned for early next year. Highlights Assays for 2,139 calcrete samples, 376 soil samples and 22 rock-chip samples have been received Highest rock-chip sample assayed 12.45 g/t Au Highest soil sample assayed 611ppb Au 1,543 line kilometers of drone-based Magnetic survey completed and processed 18 individual targets defined within the greater Belmont prospect Surface Geochem A total of 2,139 calcrete samples and 376 soil samples were collected as infill surface samples on a 200m x 50m grid. This sampling aimed at enhancing surface geochemical resolution across the Belmont prospect. When combined with previously assayed surface geochemical data, several robust surface anomalies were identified (see Figure 1). Additionally, 22 rock chip samples were collected from various targets to better understand the mineralization controls within the target zones. All samples were submitted to the ALS labs for gold analysis. Calcrete and soil samples underwent cyanide and aqua regia digestion, respectively, with an ICP-MS finish, while rock chip samples were analyzed using fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. Drone Magnetic Survey A drone-based magnetic survey covering 1,543 line-kilometers has been completed. The survey was conducted at a flight altitude of 25 meters, with a line spacing of 50 meters and a tie-line spacing of 500 meters. A DJI Matrice 350RTK drone equipped with a Geometrics MagArrow magnetometer was utilized, flying at a constant speed of 7 m/s while recording data at 1000 Hz. A Geometrics G-857 Proton Magnetometer served as the base station throughout the survey. Data processing was carried out in the Oasis Montaj software and included diurnal corrections, line leveling, microline leveling, and heading error adjustments. Final magnetic maps were generated using various filters, including TMI, 1VD, and AS (see Figure 2). These high-resolution m...
