Nikolas Perrault,
President and CEO of Colt, stated, "As promised, we are
providing regular updates from our Boa Fé Gold project. We
have broadened our drilling and trenching efforts to include the
Ligeiro deposit and we are pleased to see continued positive near
surface results. In the weeks ahead, we also expect to begin
to report results from the nearby Casas Novas deposit as we further
expand the campaign currently underway which is designed to confirm
and increase the potential of this very exciting gold project
."
Program Strategy
Gold mineralization has been identified in
several deposits along a shear zone that extends over some 30
Kilometers along strike (Figure 1). Previous shallow drilling
(Figure 2) was focussed on the highest grading portions of gold
anomalies that closely follow the regional shear. The
mineralisation style interpreted in the current model (Figure 3) is
associated with shears at low-angle to the regional shear direction
(S1, S2, T and R) developed due to contrasts in competency between
granitic and silica-rich units and pelitic schist within the main
regional shear zone. Where conjugate sets of shears occur (i.e. S1
and S2 with T) the best development of mineralisation occurs.
Conjugate sets of mineralisation may occur anywhere within the
regional shear zone and are not restricted by depth.
Hole BFCH-12-009 is the last hole in a
fence-line drilled along section line 6400N at Chaminé and was
drilled in the reverse direction to previous drill campaigns to get
better definition of the high grade zone with respect to the low
angle shear model (see press release February 28, 2012) and fill in a gap interval in
a neighbouring previous hole which was not sampled. The results
correlate with the current model for this section within +/- 3m
tolerance.
Colt will continue to test its current ideas on
structural interpretation against previous models and aim to
finalize a 3D model that incorporates the concept of conjugate
shear orientations reinforcing each other and leading to higher
grades of gold mineralization. The company will continue its
aggressive advanced stage exploration campaign consisting of a
combination of vertical and inclined drill holes positioned to
confirm previous drilling results at Casas Novas, Ligeiro, Braços
and Banhos deposits and investigate the gaps between Chaminé-Casas
Novas and Chaminé-Ligeiro to increase resource potential.
Results currently being interpreted from geophysical exploration
(resistivity and seismic orientation surveys across Chaminé) will
greatly assist in advancing targets in the gap areas. High priority
regional targets identified through field prospecting will also be
tested. The results of this phase of work will form the basis
for an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate to be prepared
later in 2012 covering several previously drilled gold bearing
deposits within the Boa Fé EML.
Minimal drilling has been performed to test
depth extensions below an average of 100 metres or along strike
between known mineralized deposits. Given the shear zone
style of mineralization and extensive gold anomalies in soils,
there is good potential to build upon previous work that supported
several non NI43-101 compliant resource estimates that range from
150koz to 550koz of gold as defined over the period 1991-2008 (see
press release March 7, 2011).
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
(QA/QC)
Drill sample intervals are reported as metres
(m) down hole and as such do not represent true widths of
mineralized intersections. 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 probable high grade zones based on
visible mineralisation and favourable structure. One half of the
core is sent for analysis, while the other half is retained in the
core boxes for future reference.
Trench samples are collected from bedrock
exposed at the base of a trench excavated by a backhoe and cleaned
and mapped prior to sample collection. Trench channel samples
are collected using hammer and chisel and are generally two metres
(m) long with an average width of 10 centimetres (cm).
Channel samples are bagged on site and sent for analysis.
All samples are sent by courier to ALS Chemex's facility in
Seville, Spain, where they undergo
sample preparation. The resulting pulps are shipped by ALS to their
laboratory in Romania for gold
assay and routine ICP multi-element analysis. Gold analysis for all
samples is done via method "Au - AA23" (Au by fire assay and AAS,
30g nominal sample weight). The detection limit for this method is
5 ppb. For every sample with Au values over 3 ppm, the pulp is
re-analyzed by method "Au - GRA21" (Au by fire assay and
gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight). The detection range
for this method is 0.05-1000 ppm.
A set of standards and blanks has been inserted by Colt into the
drill 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.
