MONTREAL, Oct. 11, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Colt Resources Inc. ('Colt' or the 'Company')
(FRA: P01) (OTCQX: COLTF) is pleased to announce that it has received final analytical results for five holes from its 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.Colt's current phase of drilling, which is now nearing completion, was 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). Results to date indicate that both mineralized zone thickness and average grade are generally increased compared to those observed in the historically drilled portion of the deposit.
Colt has engaged SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. for the preparation of an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for the deposit which will be published later this year and which will be based on the results of this phase of drilling. Upon completion of this current phase of drilling, the Company will continue with an aggressive drilling campaign designed not only to expand on the initial resource base through additional step out holes but also to gain better geological, geotechnical and metallurgical knowledge through infill drilling. In this second phase of drilling, high priority regional targets identified through field prospecting will also be tested. Four diamond rigs are currently in operation on the deposit.
Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, stated, 'As we approach the end of this important drilling phase we are pleased to see continued delivery of very positive drilling results which confirm the models prepared by our exploration team and which provide us with a solid foundation to advance the Tabuaço project towards feasibility and development.'
These results are part of an ongoing drilling program designed to provide data on the internal grade and structural consistency of the skarn hosted tungsten deposit and to test for lateral extensions of several richly mineralized skarn horizons.
The results are highlighted as follows:

* True Width was determined assuming the mineralization has an average strike of 315(0) and an average dip of -20(o).
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
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.
Samples are sent by courier to OMAC Laboratories Ltd, Galway, Ireland or 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%. WO(3) 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.
