GQ Great Quest Fertilizer Ltd

Victor J.E. Jones, Chairman and CFO of Great Quest Metals Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:GQ)(FRANKFURT:GQM), reports that management has recommended the election
of seven directors at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in
Toronto on June 10, 2011. In its Information Circular to shareholders Mr. Gordon
Peeling has been nominated, along with the current six directors of the Company,
for election at the meeting. The Board of Directors is very pleased to welcome
Mr. Peeling as a nominee following his successful thirteen year term as
President of the Mining Association of Canada.


Mr. Peeling has been president of MAC since 1997 and has more than 30 years of
mining experience in both the public and private sectors. In the MAC news
release announcing his retirement on April 30, it noted the he was named one of
Canada's top 100 lobbyists and that under Mr. Peeling's leadership, MAC had
achieved considerable milestones. These include progress on matters related to
sustainability, the environment, and First Nations, as MAC signed an accord with
First Nations in 2009. He has also taken an active role in initiatives related
to Corporate Social Responsibility, an increasing priority for industry in
Canada and for African nations inviting international mining investment. The
Mining Association of Canada is the national organization for the Canadian
mining industry and its members are engaged in mineral exploration, mining,
smelting, refining and semi-fabrication (www.mining.ca).


Prior to joining MAC, Mr. Peeling served as Vice President at the International
Council on Metals and the Environment; Director General Mineral Commodities
Branch at Natural Resources Canada; and the Director General, Mineral Strategy
Branch at Natural Resources Canada. Under his leadership, the Mining Association
was recognized for its leadership in work on sustainable development and the
innovative development of a widely recognized leading edge sustainable
development program called Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM).


The election of Mr. Peeling to the Board will add a further valuable dimension
and international perspective to the Board of Directors as the Company expands
its exploration activities in Mali.
