Quest Uranium Awards Airborne Geophysical Contract to Survey Its Quebec and Ontario Properties
Thursday May 8, 8:30 am ET

A total of 3,427 line-kilometres of airborne radiometric-magnetic-electromagnetic surveys will be completed over the company's property holdings in Quebec and Ontario.

The survey work will be undertaken by EON Geosciences Inc. of Pierrefonds, Quebec using a fixed-wing aircraft platform.

The survey is expected to commence towards the end of May and the results will be used by prospecting crews to explore new areas of uranium mineralization on its properties

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--May 8, 2008 -- Quest Uranium Corporation (CDNX:QUC.V - News) is pleased to announce that it has awarded a contract to complete airborne geophysical surveys over its properties in Quebec and Ontario. The work was awarded to EON Geosciences Inc. of Pierrefonds, Quebec and is expected to commence towards the end of May.

The purpose of the survey is improve the resolution of existing Federal Government airborne radiometric survey data (currently at five (5) kilometre spacing) over its properties in northwestern Quebec and Ontario. In total, EON will complete 3,427 line-kilometres of high-resolution radiometric-magnetic-electromagnetic surveys at a line spacing of 400 metres. The higher precision of the new survey data will allow Quest's exploration team to select and target specific new areas within the company's extensive land package for systematic and detailed evaluation of its uranium potential.

Success of airborne geophysical use in locating new areas of uranium mineralization is best exemplified by the company's exploration success in the George River area of northeastern Quebec and northwestern Labrador (see Press Release : February 8, 2008). Airborne geophysical surveys completed in 2006 guided prospectors to locate two significant areas of in-situ uranium mineralization and uraniferous boulder dispersion trains on Quest's Stewart Lake-Centurion Ridge and Nanuk properties (see Figure 1). Prospecting and geological mapping over the Stewart Lake-Centurion Ridge returned up to 0.804% U3O8 (16.1 pounds per ton - lbs/ton) from large, locally-derived boulders and sub-crop. The area is associated with an extensive radiometric anomaly measuring up to 750 m wide by 4.0 km long. The Nanuk area work identified four large areas of radioactivity and in-situ uranium mineralization covering a surface area of approximately 25 square km and returning grades of up to 1.18% U3O8 (23.6 lbs/ton).
