MONTREAL,
Oct. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Colt
Resources Inc. ("Colt" or the "Company") (TSXV: GTP) (FRA: P01)
(OTCQX: COLTF) is pleased to announce that it has received
final analytical results for five holes from its ongoing drilling
campaign at its Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) tungsten project,
located in the Company's wholly owned Armamar‐Meda concession in
northern Portugal.
Colt's current phase of drilling, which is now
nearing completion, was designed to confirm and expand the
historical, non NI 43‐101 compliant resource estimate of 1 million
tonnes grading 0.87% WO3 (SPE‐BRGM JV, early 1980's). Results to
date indicate that both mineralized zone thickness and average
grade are generally increased compared to those observed in the
historically drilled portion of the deposit.
Colt has engaged SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. for
the preparation of an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the
deposit which will be published later this year and which will be
based on the results of this phase of drilling. Upon
completion of this current phase of drilling, the Company will
continue with an aggressive drilling campaign designed not only to
expand on the initial resource base through additional step out
holes but also to gain better geological, geotechnical and
metallurgical knowledge through infill drilling. In this
second phase of drilling, high priority regional targets identified
through field prospecting will also be tested. Four diamond
rigs are currently in operation on the deposit.
Nikolas Perrault,
President and CEO of Colt, stated, "As we approach the end of
this important drilling phase we are pleased to see continued
delivery of very positive drilling results which confirm the models
prepared by our exploration team and which provide us with a solid
foundation to advance the Tabuaço project towards
feasibility and development."
These results are part of an ongoing drilling
program designed to provide data on the internal grade and
structural consistency of the skarn hosted tungsten deposit and to
test for lateral extensions of several richly mineralized skarn
horizons.
The results are highlighted as follows:

an average strike of 3150 and an average
dip of -20o.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Sample intervals are reported as both metres (m)
downhole and as true thickness, which have been calculated using
cross sectional interpretation of the mineralized intercepts in
three dimensions. The actual dip of the skarn controlled
mineralization is generally shallow.
All drill core is transported by Company
personnel from drill site to a nearby secure storage facility for
logging and sampling. Sampling intervals are defined after core
logging and determination of scheelite content by examination under
short‐wave UV‐light. One half of the core is sent for
analysis, while the other half is retained in the core boxes for
future reference.
Samples are sent by courier to OMAC Laboratories
Ltd, Galway, Ireland or to ALS
Laboratory Group, Seville, Spain.
Samples are analyzed for W and Sn using a metaborate fusion
followed by XRF. Assay results for tungsten are reported by the
laboratory as W%. WO3 values are calculated using a
conversion factor of 1.2611.
A set of standards, duplicates and blanks is
inserted by Colt into the sample stream on a regular basis in
addition to the laboratory's own internal QA/QC standards and
duplicates. QA/QC results to date are well within the accepted
norm.
