Quest Minerals & Mining  Continues to Upgrade Equipment

PATERSON, N.J., March 2,  2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quest Minerals & Mining Corp. (Pink  Sheets:QMIN) (Frankfurt:QMN9),  a Kentucky based operator of energy and mineral related properties,  today announced the addition of another Joy 14-9 miner to be  incorporated as part of their main operational equipment line. The recent equipment upgrade replaces an existing Joy 14-10 and is  intended to operate in conjunction with their other Joy 14-9 miner,  which was previously integrated last year.  Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest, commented, "Having two  miners of the same caliber is very beneficial from an operations  standpoint. Both pieces of machinery are now each capable of generating  between 1,300 and 1,500 raw tons of coal in an eight hour period. Having  the two miners working in cycle also allows for less downtime. While  one machine sets up for a heading change, the other miner continues on  with coal production. Additionally, similar mechanical specs allow for  interchangeable replacement parts, which can be helpful with repair  delays. With the price of coal starting to rise once more, we are  already starting to see an increased demand for our metallurgical  compatible grade coal. This miner brings us one step closer to meeting  our goal of 10,000 clean tons per month."  About Quest Minerals & Mining Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., or Quest, acquires and operates  energy and mineral related properties in the southeastern part of the  United States.
