Quest International Resource Corporation Company Update VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 1999--Quest Intl Res(TSE:QIX - news) The directors of the Company are pleased to announce that the following resolutions were passed at the Company's annual general meeting May 3, 1999: - the consolidation of the Company's share capital on a five for one basis - a change of name form Quest International Resources Corporation to Standard Mining Corporation - the election of Paul Saxton, Thomas Menning, James O'Rourke, John Hernstat and William Meyer as directos These changes will facilitate the finalization of a prospectus to raise funds to carry on work at the company's Zopilote property in Honduras. The consolidation and name change will become effective upon regulatory approval. The Zopilote property is located approximately 30 minutes from the city of San Pedro Sula. It is also located only 25 kilometers from Geomaque's Vueltas del Rio property, now under construction as a gold heap leach operation. The Zopilote property is a low- grade epithermal gold deposit with a current resource of 446,000 ounces of which approximately one third of these are oxide, near surface. The ores are amenable to cyanidation. There is an excellent potential to expand this resource to a 1 million plus ounces. Very limited drilling has been carried out on the property. The proposed exploration program will be directed at increasing the resource base. Management believes that this property could be placed into production very quickly as soon as enough oxide ore has been outlined. Management believes that the changes approved will help the company move towards completion of the work that needs to be done to turn it into producer of minerals sooner rather than later. The Toronto Stock Exchange has Neither Approved Nor Disapproved of the Contents of This Press Release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: Quest International Resources Corporation Paul F.

Borrasca ( hard times ) Had the pleasure to see Virginia city again. Home of the Comstock. It is great to study the history of the stock speculations, and all of the endless stories. here is a history of one of the old ones. origsix.com my next gold stock buy. I see that Standard is the name now, (Gold Standard) VBG I for one, will just sit back and relax, and let them sell their gold,( Brits ) what the hell are they thinking.???????? As long as Standard hold on to Damoti, I will be here, happy trading. Skeena looks better. still say , sell 40% of Zip to geomaque.com take their stock, and cash. hope they can sell the 20% to Twin Gold. investor1.com KAPLAN'S CORNER: Question: A number of news stories mentioned heavy purchases of out-of-the-money gold put options, especially at the $265 strike price. What does this mean? Answer: Options trading, when it is either lopsidedly tilted to either the call or to the put side, is a valuable contrary indicator. When late-arriving speculators are strongly betting on a sharp decline in any financial instrument, especially when increased volatility premiums indicate that these speculators are paying top dollar, and when most of the purchasing takes place at the ask price, indicating that these speculators are unusually eager to establish their positions, they are almost always wrong as a group. The fact that so many are paying inflated, non-negotiated prices for options which would require a four percent or greater decline merely to be in the money indicates how extreme the bearishness sentiment has become in the gold market. Just as a top is defined by ultra-heavy out-of-the-money call buying, a bottom is defined by ultra-heavy out-of-the-money put buying. Too bad this gold decline happened now. !!! maybe standard could have gotten better financing XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX One of the early miners that found the deposit at virginia city, sold his share for, ( a blind horse, and a bottle of whiskey ) don't sell you Standard yet. maybe be diamonds in your future. ???????
