DETOUR GOLD COMMENCES GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT CONQUEST’S SUNDAY LAKE PROPERTY

WINTER DRILL PROGRAM PLANNED FOR SUNDAY LAKE

Toronto, Ontario – January 19, 2011 | Conquest Resources Limited (TSX

V: “CQR”)

is pleased to report that

Detour Gold Corporation (“Detour Gold”) has commenced a ground

based geophysical survey at Conquest’s

Sunday Lake Property, which is currently under option to Detour Gold.

The survey is comprised of 50 line

kilometres of induced polarization geophysics that will take approximately

two weeks to complete, which in combination with the recently completed MMI soil geochemistry program

(see

Press Release – October 27, 2010

), has been designed to assist in the prioritization of drill targets for the

upcoming winter drill season.

Conquest’s Sunday Lake Property consists of 13 square kilometers of prospective mineral leases located

along the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone approximately seven kilometres east of Detour Gold’s 11.4 million

ounce proposed open pit gold mine.

During September 2010, Conquest entered into a joint venture with Detour Gold on Conquest’s Sunday Lake

Property pursuant to which Detour Gold has the right to earn a 50% interest in the Sunday Lake Property by

completing $1,000,000 on exploration over the next two years, including a minimum expenditure of

$500,000 prior to September 30, 2011.

Conquest also holds 100,000 shares of Detour Gold Corporation.

Conquest anticipates Detour Gold will commence a drill program on the Sunday Lake Property following the

completion of the geophysical survey.
