Silver Quest Announces Updated NI 43-101 Resource Estimate for Capoose Project, BC

Silver Quest Resources (TSX VENTURE:SQI)

announce that GeoVector Management Inc. has prepared an updated National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 resource estimate for its 100% owned Capoose Deposit.

The updated resource estimate represents a significant increase from the 2010 resource estimate (SEDAR filed on April 16, 2010) with approximately 45% of the 2010 resource being upgraded to the Indicated resource category. The Capoose Project is located 185 km southwest of Prince George, British Columbia.

Mineral resources do not demonstrate economic viability, and there is no certainty that these mineral resources will be converted into mineable reserves once economic considerations are applied.

The resource estimate at a gold equivalent ("AuEq") cut-off grade of 0.40 grams per tonne ("g/t") is 31.22 million tonnes grading 0.38 g/t gold and 26.5 g/t silver for 383,823 contained ounces of gold and 26,593,915 contained ounces of silver in an Indicated category and 37.23 million tonnes grading 0.37 g/t gold and 24.6 g/t silver for 443,206 contained ounces of gold and 29,517,933 contained ounces of silver in an Inferred category.
