MONTREAL, Aug. 4, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Colt Resources Inc. ('Colt' or the
'Company') (TSXV: GTP) (FRA: P01) (OTCQX: COLTF) is very pleased to
announce it has received final analytical results for three holes from
the ongoing drilling campaign at its Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias)
tungsten project, located in the company's wholly owned Armamar‐Meda
concession in northern Portugal.
These drillholes were planned to provide data on the internal grade and
structural consistency of the deposit and to test for lateral
extensions of several richly mineralized skarn horizons.
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% WO3 (SPE‐BRGM JV, early 1980's). These and
previously reported results indicate that the deposit is open in all
directions and that grades and thicknesses are increasing as one steps
away from the historical resource zone.
Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, says, 'Hole 15 has demonstrated to us that the deposit model is robust and
that the predicted grades and thicknesses are being achieved.'
A fourth rig recently commenced drilling on the deposit so as to
increase data flow as the company moves towards the preparation and
delivery of an initial NI43-101 resource estimate.
The received results are summarized as follows:

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Sample intervals are reported as both metres (m) downhole and as true
thickness, which have been calculated 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.
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 1.2611.
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.
