NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISSEMINATION
CONQUEST REPORTS YEAR END 2018 RESULTS
PLANNED 2019 EXPLORATION PROGRAMS AT
GOLDEN ROSE PROPERTY, EMERALD LAKE, ONTARIO
Toronto, Ontario – April 18, 2019 | Conquest Resources Limited (TSX-V: “CQR”) (“Conquest” or the “Company”)
reports its results for the year ended December 31, 2018 and provides an update on planned 2019 exploration
drilling programs at its 100% owned Golden Rose Gold Property
This news release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the
associated management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2018 which are
available on the Company’s website at www.conquestresources.com or under the Company’s profile on SEDAR
(www.sedar.com).
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Conquest Resources Limited is a mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties
in Ontario, where the Company holds three advanced exploration properties with the potential for the discovery
of gold deposits.
Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Golden Rose Property located at Emerald Lake, sixty-five (65) kilometres
northeast of Sudbury, Ontario. The forty-seven (47) easily accessible map-staked claims and four (4) patent lease
claims encompass 770 hectares and include the f ormer Golden Rose Gold Mine. This property is located deep
within the regionally large, unexplained Emerald Lake (Temagami) Anomaly, which has a general magnetic
signature closely resembling the magnetic signature of the adjacent Sudbury Basin.
Exploration work by Conquest in 2018 identified eight high priority geophysical targets associated with magnetic
and EM conductive anomalies, considered favourable for gold exploration. Six of these geophysical target areas
have gold-in-soil anomalies that occur a long the two prospective BIF horizons. Much of the eastern portion of
the property remains largely unexplored. Geochemical soil anomalies also support the potential of previously
unrecognized gold mineralization located north of the Banded Iron Formation. Based on initial geochemical
anomalies, geophysical targets, and geological modelling, an initial drill campaign of 1,500 metres has been
planned.
Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Alexander Property located in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp in
Ontario, strategically located east of Goldcorp’s Red Lake mine and is mostly surrounded by Goldcorp’s land
holdings. The Alexander Property is located within the important “Mine Trend” regional structure and Conquest
believes that the Alexander Property is one of the most prospective land positions in the Red Lake gold camp.

Conquest holds a 100% interest in the Smith Lake Property which consists of six (6) patented mining leases and
one hundred eighty -one (181) mining claims covering approximately 2,915 hectares of land located within the
Missanabie-Goudreau Greenstone Belt in northern Ontario and includes claims lying to the north, west and south
of the former Renabie gold mine. Conquest has focused its exploration in thr ee areas adjacent to the old mine
workings where clusters of structural lineaments display similar characteristic to those hosting the Renabie mine.
GOLDEN ROSE PROJECT
Summer 2018 Field Programs
Exploration of priority targets at Golden Rose during the 2018 summer field season included data integration, soil
geochemistry, MMI, prospecting, and preliminary geological mapping. Anomalous gold -in-soil results were
received from the recce soil and MMI geochemical surveys taken across eight of the identified
geophysical/geological targets at Golden Rose.
The intent of the two surveys, conventional soil survey and the Mobile Metal Ions (“MMI”) survey, was to confirm
the potential for defining anomalous gold at each of the eight high priority targets associated with the identified
magnetic and EM conductive anomalies, in addition to defining underlying lithology based on MMI geochemistry
to enhance geological understanding of the wider Golden Rose property.
The soil and MMI surveys verify that six of the priority target areas have anomalous gold -in-soil geochemistry.
These geochemical data support the potential for the discovery of gold mineralization in these areas that include,
the eastern end of the Mine Area, the North BIF Zone and the South BIF Zone, as wel l as one previously
unrecognized area located approximately 200 metres north of the North BIF in the central part of the property.
Preliminary 2018 exploration of these priority target areas also revealed the presence of two distinct BIF horizons
on the Is land Zone and located a previously undocumented, thirty -five-centimeter-wide quartz vein extending
along strike for more than twenty metres. The significance of this vein discovery suggests that the entire South
BIF stratigraphy at the eastern portion of the property is structurally susceptibly to the formation of gold-bearing
quartz veins.
Mapping also revealed that a feldspar porphyry intrusion on the property may be more extensive than previously
known, and that it hosts flat-lying quartz veins similar to the Discovery Vein at the Golden Rose mine. In addition,
geophysical interpretation and the presence of sulphide mineralization in the basal flow-banded rhyolite breccia
unit underlying the North Volcanic Unit suggests potential for this unit to host pre viously unrecognized gold
mineralization.
Planned Summer 2019 Drilling Program
Six targets having coincident geophysical and gold -in-soil anomalies have been prioritized for drilling at Golden
Rose during the 2019 summer season, subject to completion of financing. The proposed exploration plan is to first
undertake surface trenching at each of the six target areas, from which the top three targets deemed most
prospective for the discovery of gold mineralisation will be selected for systematic drilling, with one to three holes
to be drilled on each of the three targets, for a planned drilling program of 1,500 metres. The planned program
has an indicative exploration budget of $360,000.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018
The Company recorded no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $440,080 ($0.004 per share). The loss included
exploration expenditures of $276,394.
At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $11,292 compared to $215,635 at December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2018, Conquest had not achieved profitable operations, and expects to incur further losses in
the development of its business. The Company has relied on equi ty financing to fund its working capital
requirements. The Company will need to generate additional financial resources in order to continue as a going
concern and to fund any exploration programs. There is a risk that additional financing will not be ava ilable to
the Company on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to
obtain additional financial resources. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing, the
Company will be required to curtail operations.
