MONTREAL, May 18 /CNW Telbec/ - 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 four holes from its ongoing drilling campaign at its Tabuaço tungsten project (São Pedro das aguias and Aveleira deposits), located in the Company's wholly owned Armamar-Meda concession in northern Portugal.

The results from Tabuaço (Figure 1, Tabuaço current resource area) are highlighted as follows:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Zone    From (m)  To (m)  Grade % WO3    Interval (m)  True Width (m)*    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Drill hole DHT-52 (Vertical) - 87.50m deep    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Main      54.20   61.20      1.31%          7.00             6.58    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Drill hole DHT-55 (Inclined 80 degrees to 030 ) - 197.05m deep    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    No significant mineralisation    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

* True Width was determined assuming the mineralization has an average strike of 315 degrees and an average dip of -20 degrees

The Company also announces that it has received final analytical results for 2 holes from its ongoing drilling campaign at its recently discovered Aveleira tungsten deposit, located in the same concession and approximately 700m north of the delineated resource at Tabuaço (Figure 1).

The results for these two holes are highlighted as follows:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Zone    From (m)  To (m)  Grade % WO3    Interval (m)  True Width (m)*    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Drill hole DHT-50 (Vertical) - 78.00m deep    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Main      15.00    24.00            Significant mineralization                               but poor core recovery due to natural cavities    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Lower     53.40    58.40     0.63%          5.00             4.70    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Drill hole DHT-53 (Vertical) - 66.50m deep    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Main      32.70    34.90     0.46%          2.20             2.07    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    Lower     55.35    57.75     0.80%          2.40             2.26    -------------------------------------------------------------------------    * True Width was determined assuming the mineralization has an averagestrike of 315 degrees and an average dip of -20 degrees

Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, stated, "Shallow step-out drilling at our Aveleira discovery has demonstrated the presence of a deposit similar to Tabuaço. As we drill deeper holes, we anticipate being able to report intersections unaffected by near surface weathering. Our infill drilling program at Tabuaço, designed to upgrade resources, is delivering results as anticipated."

At Tabuaço, the results from DHT-52, which was drilled as an infill hole on vertical section line 1250, continue to show continuity of strong, tabular scheelite mineralization downdip from outcrop in the resource area (Figure 2).

Hole DHT-55 was drilled to test for extension of the inferred resource area at its western edge below the granite contact. Weak skarn development was observed in this hole.

At the Aveleira exploration area, poor core recovery was experienced in the upper portion of the main mineralized horizon in hole DHT-50. This poor recovery was caused by natural dissolution cavities. It is anticipated that this natural weathering process will diminish down dip and will not impact the economic potential of this mineralized horizon.

The results obtained from holes DHT-50 and DHT-53, together with those from the Aveleira discovery hole DHT-49 (see Colt's previous announcements of February 22nd and March 20th, 2012) already indicate a strike length for the Aveleira deposit in excess of 60 metres (Figure 3).

Drilling is continuing at this new discovery to delineate its full extent.

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 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.
