- Great Quest Gold Ltd., formerly Great Quest Fertilizer Ltd., is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of gold and phosphate mineral properties primarily in West Africa. The company explores for gold deposits through its flagship Sanoukou Gold Project, covering 24 square kilometers in the Kayes region of western Mali within the prolific Kenieba greenstone belt; the Tilemsi Phosphate Project, comprising three contiguous concessions spanning 1,206 square kilometers in northeastern Mali with an NI 43-101 inferred resource of approximately 50 million tonnes at 24.3% P2O5; the Geulmin Project in Morocco's Anti-Atlas region including Bas Draa and Taznakt Ouarzazate prospects; and the Damara Gold Project encompassing 300,000 hectares in Namibia. It holds interests in additional gold and lithium projects in Namibia through its partial ownership of Belmont Mineral Exploration (Pty) Ltd. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company operates exploration activities across Mali, Morocco, and Namibia, targeting direct-application phosphate fertilizer resources and high-potential gold deposits for regional and global markets. In July 2024, Great Quest Fertilizer Ltd. rebranded to Great Quest Gold Ltd. to reflect its strategic pivot toward gold exploration. Recent developments include the July 2024 closing of a 25% acquisition in Belmont Mineral Exploration for Namibian gold and lithium projects, with an option for an additional 26% through funding USD $1.4 million in exploration; a 2023 agreement to acquire up to 70% of Belmont; a 2021 option to acquire Moroccan explorer Tadine Plus; and an October 2025 amending agreement for a proposed reverse takeover with Lotus Gold Inc., involving a 16-to-1 share consolidation and a $3.5 million concurrent financing at $0.50 per share.
