QUITO, ECUADOR -- (Marketwire) -- 06/29/09 -- Quri Resources, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: QURI) is
pleased to announce that it has acquired the Conquista project in South
America.
Quri Resources, Inc. announces today that it has acquired 100% interest in
the Conquista Gold mines, (990 hectares). This property is located 150
kilometers northwest of Quito. Conquista has 2 working mines, the Santa
Teresa and Palanzuro. Free gold can be observed and concentrations of up to
10 grams per ton are present. Past production in addition to continued
sampling have shown probable gold deposits exceeding management's original
expectations. It is the intention of the company to begin production
within 3 months.
Eduardo Muñoz, VP of Quri Resources, Inc. stated, "We have been on site for
5 months studying the property, today our plans materialized. It gives me
great pleasure to see the company moving towards growth and success. We are
slowly transforming from a junior exploration company to a gold producing
company. Ecuador is moving closer to becoming one of the important mining
sectors in the Americas and we want to grow along with the country. Kinross
just finished its acquisition of Aurelian; Dynasty Minerals, Corriente,
Nortec Ventures, International Minerals Corp, just to name a few are among
some of the majors also positioned in Ecuador, we are amongst good company.
Everyone should expect to hear more exciting news in the near future." Mr.
Muñoz also stated, "We should be able to go into production with La
Conquista in the next 3 months starting production at approximately 4kilos
of gold per month and at today's gold prices we are looking at a revenue
stream of $100,000 per month. We should be able to increase our production
to 10kilos of gold per month 6 months after we begin operations, bringing
our revenues up over $280,000 per month. This would certainly enhance our
cash position allowing us to continue our intensive exploration of the
area. Needless to say, we're ecstatic with the course we've taken today."
