Nikolas Perrault, President and
CEO of Colt, stated, "These results add further confidence to our
understanding of the controls of mineralization that have led to
exceptionally high grade zones close to surface hosted within an
extensive regional gold mineralized shear system. Our work is
focussed on developing a robust model that will form the basis of
an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate which is targeted
for mid-year. Once completed, this work will be immediately
expanded to test numerous regional targets as well as down dip
extensions to known areas of mineralization."
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 assumes that high grade gold
mineralisation occurs where conjugate sets of shears intersect and
reinforce each other (refer to press release 15th March 2012).
Hole BFCH-12-013 was drilled on the margin of section 6475N in
the reverse direction to the pattern of drilling from previous
workers to test structural continuity of the model and complete
infill drilling on this section line.
Hole BFCH-12-016 is a relatively deep vertical hole (deeper than
100m) drilled along section line 6550N at Chaminé. It was drilled
to investigate the location of the hinge zone where the
mineralisation plunges to the north. The mineralisation intersected
in this hole conforms to the current structural interpretation.
Holes BFCH-12-017 and BFCH-12-018 were drilled adjacent to each
other on section line 6350N at Chaminé. These holes were drilled
vertically to get a better definition of the high grade zone which
was outlined in an area previously drilled with holes inclined to
the north-east (Figure 3). This intersection demonstrates a
significant increase in both grade and tonnage down to 82.3m depth
and into the eastern portion of the section. The zone was not
picked up by previous workers as the hole inclined to the north
east was not sampled to the end of the hole.
Hole BFCN-12-002 is the second hole in the program to validate
previous historical results at Casas Novas and twins a hole
previously drilled on behalf of RioFinEx. There appears to be an
acceptable correlation between the two sets of results in terms of
grade and grade distribution.
Colt has now completed a first pass structural interpretation of
the entire Chaminé deposit on plan and cross-sections that
incorporate the concept of conjugate shear orientations reinforcing
each other and leading to higher grades of gold mineralization.
This work will now be further streamlined and built into a robust
3D model.
The Company will continue its aggressive advanced stage
exploration campaign at Boa Fé consisting of a combination of
vertical and inclined drill holes positioned to confirm previous
drilling results at the Chaminé, 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 historical data assessment and
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 (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 the 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. The core is halved using a rotary diamond
blade core saw, with one half of the core sent for analysis, while
the other half is retained in the core boxes for future
reference.
All half core 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.
