AUSQUEST EXPANDS MANGANESE POSITION IN WA

STRATEGIC TENEMENTS SECURED SURROUNDING WOLFE PROJECT

AusQuest Limited (ASX: AQD) is pleased to advise that it has further strengthened its portfolio of prospective manganese tenements in Western Australia after securing three strategic titles near its 100%-owned Wolfe Manganese Project in the Kimberley Region.

AusQuest has completed the 100% purchase of tenement E80/4103 and signed a Farm-In Agreement with Legacy Iron Ore Ltd (ASX:LCY) over tenements E80/3923 and a portion of E80/3897 ( see attached location plan ).

The agreement to purchase 100% of E80/4103 for a cash consideration of $10,000 and the issue of 250,000 AusQuest shares was reported to the ASX in the Company’s March 2008 Quarterly Report.

The Farm-In Agreement with Legacy Iron allows AusQuest to earn an 80% interest in both E80/3923 and a designated area of E80/3897 for total expenditure of $400,000. The agreement includes an expenditure commitment of $100,000 within the first two years of the agreement.

Following completion of the $400,000 expenditure, Legacy will have the right to form a participating 80:20 joint venture or convert to a 10% free carried interest until a decision to mine is made, at which time a 90:10 participating joint venture will be formed or Legacy may elect to sell its equity.

AusQuest is pleased to have finalised agreements over these adjoining tenements, which will enable additional targets to be included in the upcoming drill program planned for early October pending site clearances.

The tenements acquired are known to contain significant strike extensions of the prospective manganese target horizon that has been mapped and sampled within the Company’s Wolfe Project area producing numerous assays in excess of 20% Mn (and up to a maximum of +50% Mn) from surface sampling.

The Board of AusQuest looks forward to commencing exploration drilling at the Wolfe Project in the near future.
