La Quinta Resources Encounters 16.9m of 1.02 g/t Gold at Easter Project

La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:LAQ)(FRANKFURT:LQK) ("La Quinta" or
the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received assays for the first
two holes of its resource expansion drilling on the Easter gold and silver
property (the "Easter Project") located in southeast Nevada. 


La Quinta has completed two exploratory vertical reverse circulation ("RC")
percussion drill holes sited on the downdip extension of the Main Vein at the
Easter Project. The holes, 11-22 and 11-02, were drilled as orientation holes to
determine the location of the Main Vein. The hole depths were 245 ft (76.7 m)
and 190 ft (57.9 m), respectively. 


Follow-up twinning using diamond drilling will ascertain true thickness as
groundwater was encountered at relatively shallow depths. The RC drilling method
is not considered an accurate sampling tool below the groundwater table for
deposits containing particulate gold because a portion of the gold typically is
not recovered. Diamond (core) drilling methods, considered more accurate, will
be used to complete the drilling program now that relative positions of the vein
and groundwater have been determined.


Gold grades of significance included:

The Company has also completed three shallow reverse circulation orientation
holes in the West Vein area. Early this year the Company's technical staff found
epithermal veins containing as much as 10 g/t gold (0.29 oz/st) in surface
reconnaissance samples. No drilling has ever been done in this area. Assays are
pending.


CEO Glen Watson said, "The drill results in the resource area confirm the
approximate position, depth and nature of mineralization. As we step out at
depth using diamond drilling methods, we anticipate that grades will increase.
Orientation of the mineralized shoots within the Main Vein can reliably be
determined as drill work expands the identified resource both downdip and along
strike. Drilling in the previously untested West Vein area, situated
approximately 3,200 ft (1000 m) west of the indicated resource, will expand the
technical understanding of the extent of the commercial potential of this robust
vein system."


The Company's program of QA/QC includes insertion within the sample stream of
purchased standards and prepared duplicates at appropriate intervals. Additional
reliance is upon the internal QA/QC implemented by ALS Minerals, where the
samples are being analyzed.

Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"):

La Quinta can earn a 65% interest in the Easter Project by incurring US$2
million in exploration expenditures by January 4, 2015 and making annual
payments to Pilot Gold Inc. ("Pilot Gold") that total US$190,000. Terms of the
earn-in arrangement in the first year include a US$30,000 payment (paid) and a
work requirement of US$100,000 (expended). Upon exercising the option to form a
joint venture at the end of year five, La Quinta is required to issue 500,000
common shares to Pilot Gold. Pilot Gold retains a net smelter royalty of 2.5% -
4%, depending on the price of gold.


About La Quinta Resources Corporation

La Quinta is a junior precious metals exploration company actively seeking
mineral opportunities for the benefit of our stakeholders. Currently the Company
is focused on exploring for gold, silver and copper on the Easter Project and
its Black Jack properties, Nevada and on Carruthers Pass, British Columbia. The
Easter Project is underlain by an epithermal quartz-adularia vein stockwork
system hosted within Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Caliente Caldron Complex of
southeastern Nevada. Numerous drill programs were conducted over the past 27
years by several operators. The resultant 121 holes and five adits were used to
outline a 43-101 compliant resource of 2.6 million tons at 1.3 g/t gold (0.038
oz/t) and 14 g/t silver (0.4 oz/t) within an area of gold mineralization with a
strike length of at least 6,450 feet (1,966 m) and drill-defined widths up to 90
feet (27.4 m). Significant prior intercepts include up to 0.194 oz. Au / ton
over 90 feet (6.6 g/t over 27.4m true thickness) (including 0.549 oz. Au / ton
over 15 feet (18.8 g/t over 4.5m)) and 0.084 oz. / ton over 110 feet (including
0.534 oz. Au / ton over 5 feet) (2.88 g/t over 33.5 m w/internal 18.3 g/t in
1.52 m). The Black Jack property, an early-stage exploration target in NE
Nevada, consists of old mine workings that contain silver- gold-base metals
veins hosted in Ordovician limestones that overlie nearby Cambrian shale. The
Carruthers Pass property is a massive sulfide project with copper, gold and
silver located 70km south of Kemess copper-gold mine. The project consists of 8
claims covering 3,250 hectares. No resources have been identified in either
Black Jack or Carruthers Pass properties.
