MONTREAL, March 24 /CNW Telbec/ - Colt Resources Inc. ('Colt' or the
'Company') (TSXV: GTP) (FRA: P01) (OTCQX: COLTF) is very pleased to
announce that it has received preliminary analytical results for the
first three holes drilled this year in its Tabuaço (São Pedro das
Águias) tungsten project, located on the company's wholly owned
Armamar-Meda concession in northern Portugal.
These successful drill holes have intersected thick and richly
mineralized skarn horizons, and confirmed the extension of the known
mineralized zone for a further 100m West of Colt's previous drilling
grid.
Colt's current drilling program is designed to confirm and expand the
historical, non NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 1 million
tonnes grading 0.87% WO(3) (SPE-BRGM JV, early 1980's).
Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, says, 'Based on these very encouraging results, the company has decided to
mobilize an additional drill rig on this project as soon as possible.'
The received results are summarized as follows:

QA/QC
Sample intervals are reported as metres (m) downhole and as such do not
represent true width. The actual dip of the skarn controlled
mineralization is generally shallow. It is estimated that true widths
may range between 75% and 95% of the sample widths.
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
contents 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.
All samples are sent by courier to OMAC Laboratories Ltd, at Galway,
Ireland, an ISO 17025 accredited facility. Samples are analyzed for W
and Sn using a metaborate fusion followed by XRF (laboratory code
BF/EL). Assay results for tungsten are reported by the laboratory as
W%. WO(3 )values are calculated using a conversion factor of 1.26.
A set of standards, duplicates and blanks is employed by Colt in their
sample stream as well as the laboratory's own standards and duplicates.
Results to date are well within the accepted norm.
About Colt Resources Inc.
Colt Resources Inc. is a Canadian junior exploration company engaged in
acquiring, exploring, and developing mineral properties with an
emphasis on gold and tungsten. It is currently focused on advanced
stage exploration projects in Portugal, where it is the second largest
lease holder of mineral concessions.
In addition to the Tabuaço tungsten project located on the Company's
100% owned Armamar-Meda concession in northern Portugal, Colt holds
gold and base metal properties in Portugal.
Colt is presently 51% owner and operator of the advanced stage Montemor
gold project located in southern Portugal for which it is currently in
the process of obtaining an Experimental Mining License with the
Direcção-Geral de Energia e Geologia, a division of the Portuguese
Ministry of Economy and Innovation. Colt is on a clear path to 100%
ownership of this project (see: August 10, 2010 press release and October 13, 2010 press release).
At the Penedono gold project, located on the Company's Penedono
concession in northern Portugal, a trench and drill program is
currently underway to test near surface gold mineralization at the
Turgueira prospect (see: October 28, 2010 press release).
The Company also holds a large base metals concession, Santa Margarida
do Sado, in southern Portugal, located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt
('IPB') a 60 km wide by 250 km long mineralized belt that extends from
the southwest coast of Portugal to Spain. This world class massive
sulphide environment has been explored for many years and a number of
important mines have been discovered and exploited for copper, lead,
zinc, locally including silver and gold. The IPB is host to 5
supergiant volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Two of these occur
in Portugal, namely Neves Corvo and Aljustrel, and are located 75 and
35 km southeast, respectively, of Santa Margarida. Colt filed a NI
43-101 Technical Report on the Santa Margarida do Sado property on
February 14, 2011 (see: February 16, 2011 press release). The Company is currently implementing the recommended follow-up
exploration program.
Portugal is a mining friendly member country of the European Union (EU)
with easy access, excellent infrastructure and available labour force.
Colt maintains excellent government relationships at both state and
municipal levels. The company is currently reviewing potential EU
financial incentive programs.
SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. has been awarded a broad mandate to provide
