Quia Resources Reports Further Drill Results Expanding the La Colina System and Provides Update on 2012 Exploration Plan

Quia Resources Inc. ("Quia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:QIA) announced today
further drill results from its San Lucas project in Colombia and provided an
update on its 2012 exploration plans.


Highlights from holes 8 through 14 from the company's ongoing phase 1 drilling
program include:




--  SL1109 intersected 12.5 m of 0.22 g Au/t 
    
--  SL1110 intersected 4.5 m of 1.50 g Au/t 
    
--  SL1112 intersected 15.20 m of 0.27 g Au/t 
    
--  SL1114A intersected 3.85 m of 0.52 g Au/t 



The drilling to date has established a disseminated gold system at the La Colina
anomaly that is potentially continuous over at least 800 metres in strike, which
represents significant scale potential for this system and generally in the
area, and appears to be getting wider both at depth and to the southwest and
appears to be getting higher grade to the south west. It is open in all
directions and at depth.


The last hole completed in 2011, SL1114A, encountered a wide zone of strong
silicic alteration and fracturing between 61.5 metres and 97 metres before the
hole was shut down due to difficult drilling conditions. Sections of this zone
(e.g. 61.5 metres to 74.25 metres) carried up to 4% pyrite, 7% jarosite, 5%
hematite, 3% goethite and 4% quartz in veinlets, indicating a later hydrothermal
event.


Yannis Banks, Quia's CEO, said: "Holes 8 through 14 have provided us with
valuable information regarding the geology, control and origin of the gold
mineralization in the area. In particular, hole SL1114A demonstrated a strong
system of alteration with disseminated sulphide mineralization and a wide zone
of quartz veining that represent the right conditions for a disseminated gold
system. This later hydrothermal event appears to trend south and converge with
the Rueda South and Durmiente targets. The drilling will now focus on these
target areas vectoring in on the source of the mineralization."


Hole SL1109 was drilled at the north end of the La Colina target approximately
75 metres south of Holes SL1101 and SL1104 which were previously announced.
Holes SL1110 and Holes SL1112 through SL1114A were drilled in the 'Platform H'
area approximately 800 metres south of the north zone.


The 'platform H' zone is coincident with a magnetic low that may have been
caused by this later hydrothermal event, and which trends south and converges
with two other such trends underlying the Rueda South and Durmiente target
areas, as well as two associated gold in soil anomalies and artisanal mine
trends.


Drilling is moving to the south and south-east where these trends converge in
the Rueda South and Durmiente target areas.


Below is a summary of significant results from holes 8 through 14.

(i)Intervals do not necessarily indicate true widths. True widths for holes
SL1108 to SL1113 are estimated to be 80% to 100% of the reported lengths. The
true widths for intervals with SL1114A are not known because the drill hole may
have entered a structure at an oblique angle.


To date approximately 3150 metres of drilling has been completed. The company
has changed drill contractors to change to a smaller more portable rig type and
is planning to drill another 5,000 metres in Q1 and Q2 2012 for a total of
approximately 8,000 metres in the phase 1 drill program. Drilling with the new
contractor is expected to commence by February 20th, 2012.
