Press Release Correction - August 27th, 2012
Colt would like to make a correction to its press release dated August 27th, 2012. The headline and table, together with the plan for the Chaminé deposit, stated that highlighted results for drillhole BFCH-12-036 were 15.16m (from 0.00m to 15.16m) grading 2.78g/t Au, including 4.07m (from 4.14m to 8.21m) grading 15.59g/t Au. The correct result should have read 15.16m (from 0.00m to 15.16m) grading 2.78g/t Au, including 6.76m (from 4.14m to 10.90m) grading 5.04g/t Au. The error resulted from an incorrect transcription and steps have been implemented to prevent a recurrence.
