La Quinta Resources Drilling at Carruthers Pass Massive Sulfide Project, B.C.

La Quinta Resources Corporation ("La Quinta" or "The Company") (TSX
VENTURE:LAQ)(FRANKFURT:LQK) is pleased to report that that diamond drilling on
the Carruthers Pass volcanogenic massive sulfide project is underway. Drilling
is targeting three areas initially. Full Force Drilling of Peachland, B.C. has
been contracted to drill up to 1,000 m (3,250 ft) NQ core in this helicopter -
supported program. Sampling of visibly altered and mineralized intervals is in
progress. 


Initial drilling targeted massive sulfide mineralization approximately 10 m x 7
m where exposed. The exposure is interpreted as a boulder by former operators.
The angle drilling intersected 3 m (10 ft) thickness of copper-dominant massive
sulfide in contact with metagabbro, beneath which was unconsolidated material.
The Company believes this exposure to be a detached slab; its massive sulfide is
thicker than any horizons reported by previous operators. Quarter-split samples
of this core have also been submitted to ALS Minerals. During due-diligence
review of the project, the Company sampled this slab to confirm historical
values reported in prior technical reports. Values from those grabs are as
follows:

In addition to the drilling, an Induced Polarization surface survey ("IP") is
underway over and outlier to the drill sites. Scott Geophysics is the contractor
for these IP surveys.

The Carruthers Pass project is under option from Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd.
(TSX VENTURE:CRB) ("Cariboo Rose"). Under the terms of the LOI, the Company can
acquire 90% of the project from Cariboo Rose over a six (6) year term by
spending $2 million in work commitments on the project, and making payments of
$470,000 cash and issuing 2 million shares of the Company's common stock to
Cariboo Rose. The Company further has opportunity to acquire the remaining 10%
interest from Cariboo Rose at fair market value. The project is subject to a
2.5% royalty, which may be reduced to 1% royalty by purchase from the underlier,
Phelps Dodge Corporation of Canada, Limited for $1.5 million.


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 and silver on the Easter Project and on its
Black Jack properties in Nevada. 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 the Black Jack or
Carruthers Pass properties.
