LAQ

La Quinta Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:LAQ) ("La Quinta") is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire the
Carruthers Pass, B.C. massive sulfide project 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. The finalization of the above transaction is subject
to receipt of requisite regulatory approval, including without limitation, the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


According to a NI43-101 compliant Technical Report dated 2006 and subsequent
Summary Report dated 2008, the Carruthers Pass massive sulfide is a volcanogenic
massive sulfide located 70 km south of the Kemess copper-gold mine in the
Omineca Mining Division. The project consists of 8 claims with 130 units,
covering 3,250 hectares more or less. 


The project, staked initially based on presence of a large massive sulfide
boulder, was bolstered by discovery in 2008 of in-place massive sulfide
mineralization in horizons with chip samples reported to contain values as
follows:

access to the property.

constitutes the type of acquisition that will create value for La Quinta and
will serve to build on the value base established by our existing projects in
the U.S. We look forward to working on yet another exciting project in
previously overlooked and undervalued terrain."

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 its Easter Project and 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. No resource has been identified on this property.
