Colt Resources Inc. (OTCQX: COLTF) (TSX-V: GTP)


Colt Resources Inc.  (TSX-V: GTP) (OTCQX: COLTF) (FRA: P01) 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 largest lease holder of mineral concessions in the country.

Colt has assembled the largest mineral lease portfolio including gold, tungsten and base metals in Portugal. Portugal has a long tradition of mining history and historically was a major source of the riches that financed the Roman Empire. Colt enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Portuguese Government and looks forward to the development of several mines in this EU member country.

Formal Ratification of Colt-AIOC Joint Venture

Colt-AIOC Joint Venture application for an Experimental Mining License on its 47 Km2 Boa Fé gold project has been ratified. Colt Resources has the equipment and experienced personnel on site.

Additionally, the Direcção-Geral de Energia e Geologia, a division of the Portuguese Ministry of Economy and Innovation, formally awarded the larger Montemor Gold Exploration License.

The Company has proceeded with the final payment of €125,000 and the issuance of three million restricted shares increasing the ownership and control of the Boa Fé gold project from 51% to 100%.

The Montemor Gold Project and Montemor Regional Concession

The Montemor Gold Project and Montemor Regional Concession are located some 100 km east of the Lisbon, the capital city, near the towns of Montemor-o-Novo and Évora, in the Alentejo region of southern Portugal.

Boa Fé / Montemor Projects Advanced Stage Gold Projects

  • Boa Fé / Montemor gold projects are at an advanced development stage with potential for near term production
  • Located 100 km east of Lisbon
  • Near surface gold deposits located along a major shear zone: > 30 km long
  • Historical work includes over 500 trenches and over 1,000 drill holes
  • Boa Fé / Montemor are prospective areas containing historical resource estimates that range from >150koz to 550koz Au in five separate high grade near surface deposits, as defined over the period 1991-2008
  • Readily Recoverable Gold: Initial metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that gold is readily
    recoverable using a combination of conventional methods (gravity, flotation and cyanide technologies)
  • Resource Expansion Potential Based on SRK’s estimates, potential exists to expand historical resource to a range of 8-12Mt, grading an average of 2.5-3.0 g/t Au above a potentially economic cut-off, contained in a series of small open pit and underground deposits

Boa Fé Concession – Two Drilling Rigs in Place by Mid-November

Colt anticipates initially having two drill rigs in operation on the Boa Fé concession by mid-November.

Over the next month the Company will commence:

  • An aggressive resource definition and mine development program at Boa Fé
  • An extensive regional exploration program (Montemor Concession) over the remaining parts of the shear zone which historically have received very little attention

The Boa Fé property has been explored intermittently during the last 20 years during which time significant funds have been spent on geochemistry, trenching and drilling. This has resulted in an extensive historical database which was acquired as part of the transaction.

Regional Setting

Boa Fé / Montemor Concession

The Boa Fé Shear zone is located approximately 95km east of Lisbon and is known to extend over 30Kms. Gold mineralization was identified during the 1950’s but remained largely overlooked until the 1980’s when several exploration companies including RTZ and Riofinex began to test the potential of the property. Low gold prices during the 1990’s forced those companies to abandon the property and the significant amount of data that had been collected.

The Boa Fé / Montemor exploration concession contains historical resource estimates that range from >150koz to 550koz Au, as defined over the period 1991-2008, comprising several gold deposits.

The exploration potential exists to expand this historical resource to a range of 8-12Mt, grading an average of 2.5-3.0 g/t Au grade above potentially economic cut-off, contained in a series of small open pit and underground deposits.

History of Exploration

During the 2000’s, several junior companies recommenced near surface exploration for gold. The application process to commence mining of several high grade, near surface gold deposits was stalled in 2008 as a result of the bankruptcy of Tamaya Resources, the most recent explorer of the project. It should be noted that the most recent work done at Boa Fé was in the mid 2000’s, a period during which gold was trading under $700 per ounce.

The current license area (Boa Fé experimental mining license, or Boa Fé license area) encompasses 47km2 ,with an additional 728km2 of exploration concession (Boa Fé / Montemor exploration concession) staked surrounding the Boa Fé license area.

Initial metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that gold is readily recoverable from Boa Fé / Montemor mineralized material using a combination of gravity, flotation and cyanidation technologies.

The much larger exploration concession currently under application appears to hold significant potential, given the postulated extension of the currently defined Boa Fé shear zone in the experimental mining license area.

Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) Tungsten Project – Armamar‐Meda Concession

Colt Resources acquired 140 hectares at its Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) tungsten project, located in the company’s Armamar‐Meda concession in northern Portugal. The acquisition of these surface rights not only provides Colt with unhindered access to the ground for exploration but more importantly, it is a crucial step for the next stages of the development of the Company’s Tabuaço tungsten project.

Tabuaço Near Term Objectives

  • Definition Drilling
  • Metallurgical Testwork
  • Resource Estimation
  • Infill Drilling
  • Geotechnical Drilling
  • Metallurgical Drilling
  • Pre-Feasibility

The final analytical results for nine holes from its ongoing drilling campaign at its Tabuaço (São Pedro das Águias) tungsten project, located in the wholly owned Armamar‐Meda concession in northern Portugal, continue to confirm that the deposit model is robust and that the predicted grades and thicknesses are being achieved.

These results are part of an ongoing drilling program designed 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.

Four diamond drill rigs are currently in operation on the deposit so as to increase data flow as the company moves towards the preparation and delivery of an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate later this year

Tungsten Demand

  • China hosts nearly two-thirds of the world’s production reserves and accounts for over three-quarters of global production, but has become a net importer in recent years to satisfy domestic demand
  • Very few western mines exist often with contractual or ownership ties to consumers
  • Additional western concentrate capacity is required to guarantee access to raw materials
  • Despite modern applications, overall market size is restricted
