MONTREAL,
Sept. 5, 2012 /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 two diamond drill holes from its ongoing
drilling campaign aimed at discovering and delineating satellite
tungsten resources near its Tabuaço tungsten project (São Pedro das
Águias), located in the Company's wholly owned Armamar‐Meda
concession in northern Portugal.
These drill holes include hole DHT-71 at the
northern zone of the recently discovered Aveleira tungsten deposit,
which is located approximately 700m north of the delineated
resource at Tabuaço (Figure 1) and hole DHT-72, the first
exploration hole to be drilled to test the soil geochemical
anomalies detected in the gap between the Tabuaço (São Pedro das
Águias) tungsten resource and the Aveleira discovery (Figure
1).
The results for these drill holes are
highlighted as follows:

* True Width was determined assuming the
mineralization has an average strike of 315º and an average dip of
-20º
At Aveleira the results of hole DHT-71 confirm
the extension of the skarn tungsten deposit for a strike length of
at least 200 metres in the NW-SE direction (Figures 1 and 2).
Step-out drilling has already been initiated across strike, to
determine the lateral extent of the deposit, which is thought to
dip gently into the mountain and underneath the granite outcrop, in
a similar style to Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias).
Drilling progress at Aveleira has been slow to
date due to the small conventional drill rig. In order to boost the
evaluation drilling of the Aveleira discovery, Colt has signed a
contract with Portuguese drilling contractor Geocontrole, who has
already brought one additional rig to the Aveleira program, and
will bring another in early September.
The newly discovered, non-outcropping skarn
tungsten horizon evidenced by hole DHT-72 in the gap between the
Tabuaço resource and the Aveleira discovery is another exploration
success for Colt at the Tabuaço tungsten project. It indicates that
additional, hidden tungsten deposits can be found in the Tabuaço
project area, and demonstrates that modern exploration based on
soil geochemistry, followed by drilling, can be successful in
locating additional mineralization.
The skarn discovered by hole DHT-72 is located
150 metres North of the Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) resource
area. Follow-up drilling to DHT-72 has already been initiated
in order to outline the extent of this skarn horizon.
Additionally, in the Tabuaço-Aveleira gap, there
are several other soil geochemical anomalies which will be drill
tested by Colt in the near future.
Nikolas Perrault,
President and CEO of Colt, stated, "Continued successful
drilling at our Aveleira discovery reinforces our belief that this
location may host a hidden deposit similar to Tabuaço. With hole
DHT-71, we have confirmed a significant strike length. Our
Aveleira drill program will now concentrate on drilling up-slope so
as to test lateral extent into the mountain as occurs at Tabuaço.
Our new discovery of hidden mineralization in the Tabuaço-Aveleira
gap strengthens our conviction that tungsten mineralization is
hosted in skarn horizons along the mountain side that have been
offset locally by post mineral faults."
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Sample intervals are reported as both metres (m)
downhole and as true thickness, which have been calculated by Colt
Resources 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 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.
