GoldQuest Announces C$30 Million Private

Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 16, 2025) - GoldQuest Mining Corp. (TSXV:

GQC) (OTCQX: GDQMF) ("GoldQuest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to

offer, on a non-brokered private placement basis, up to 24,793,399 units of the Company (the "Units") at

a price of $1.21 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $30 million (the "Private

Placement"). There is no minimum offering amount.

Luis Santana, Chief Executive Officer of GoldQuest, commented:

"This financing strengthens our balance sheet and provides the Company with the flexibility to advance

exploration and early development activities in the Dominican Republic. We are particularly encouraged

by the participation of a new institutional investor, alongside continued support from established

Dominican institutional investors. Their involvement reflects long-term alignment with GoldQuest's

strategy and confidence in the quality of our assets and our disciplined approach to advancing the

project."

"The participation of one of the largest Dominican institutional investors, together with continued support

from existing local institutional investors, represents an important strategic element of this financing.

These investors have a long-standing presence in the Dominican financial market and bring long-term

capital, local market knowledge, and a strong understanding of the Dominican Republic's regulatory and

operating environment. Their continued participation supports the Company's long-term strategic

objectives and contributes to a stable and well-aligned shareholder base as GoldQuest advances

exploration and development activities in the Dominican Republic."

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of

one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be

exercisable to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.80 per Common Share for a

period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement.

The Private Placement is expected to close on or before December 19, 2025, subject to the completion

of formal documentation and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX

Venture Exchange.

The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for early development activities at

the Romero project, expansion of greenfield exploration drilling, and general corporate purposes.

Common Shares and Warrants issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month

statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
