Property Geology and Mineralization:
The lithologies within the Josefina concession principally comprise of bimodal volcanics, quartz-phyric felsic intrusives commonly known and mapped as Maimon Formation and limestones.
The rocks on the property generally possess a regional NW trending foliation that dips moderately to the SW and have been exposed to lower grade greenschist facies metamorphism. Some of the intrusive quartz porphyry rocks to the SE seem to have evaded this deformation - or post date the deformation of the late Cretaceous to late Eocene.
A NNW orientated thrusted or faulted contact has been mapped between the Hatillo limestones and rocks of the Maimon Formation.
The Josefina concession covers two large areas of gossan with highly anomalous geochemistry El Altar and El Can. Both areas are thought to represent mineralised porphyry intrusives highly anomalous in molybdenum.
As of December 2003, GoldQuest Mining Corp. has taken 12 fine fraction (-200#) stream sediments, 1,056 soils and 468 rock samples.
