Colt Resources Inc. Announces Definition Drilling Program on the Tabuaço Tungsten Project, in Northern Portugal

29.11.2010  |  CNW
MONTREAL, Nov. 29 - Colt Resources Inc. (“Colt“ or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a definition drilling program at its 100% owned Tabuaço tungsten project, located on the Company's Armamar-Meda concession in northern Portugal. An initial resource estimate is planned immediately following completion of the drill program.

Nikolas Perrault, CEO of Colt, commented, “This is a significant milestone for the Company as it clearly brings the Tabuaço project closer to resource estimate status. Results from this drilling program as well as ongoing preliminary metallurgical testing are awaited by the Company and several potential partners.“


Drill Program

On November 23, 2010, Colt initiated a definition drilling campaign on the Tabuaço tungsten project located on the company's 100% owned Armamar-Meda concession in northern Portugal. A total of 1530 m of drilling is planned. Drilling is expected to be completed by mid-March 2011. An initial resource estimate is planned following completion of the drill program.

The 15 diamond drill hole program is designed to better define a thick, shallow dipping, scheelite-bearing main skarn horizon. The shallow (45 to 145 m), vertical to inclined holes will be spaced 50 to 70 m apart along two NW trending fences. One hole will test a lower skarn horizon.


About the Tabuaço tungsten project

Located on the Armamar-Meda concession (436 km2) in northern Portugal, the Tabuaço tungsten project is situated some 100 km east of the coastal city of Porto. In the early 1980's, exploration in the Tabuaço area led to the discovery of significant tungsten mineralization at São Pedro das Águias.

Mineralization consists of fine to coarse-grained disseminations of scheelite within thick (up to 19 m) shallow dipping skarn horizons in metasedimentary rocks adjacent to a major granitic intrusion. Limited historical drilling at São Pedro das Águias, dating back to 1982, produced significant drill results including 19.35 m grading 1.18% WO3.

Earlier this year, a first phase 9 hole drill program at São Pedro das Águias successfully confirmed high grade tungsten results from twinned historical drill holes (see June 14, 2010 press release: www.coltresources.com). Best results included Hole DHT-1B, 18.80 m grading 0.73% WO3; Hole DHT-02, 13.60 m grading 0.93% WO3; and Hole DHT-08, 12.00 m grading 0.60% WO3.

Preliminary metallurgical testing of skarn mineralization from São Pedro das Águias is currently underway: results are expected in January 2011 (see September 2, 2010 press release: www.coltresources.com).
