MONTREAL, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - 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 36 diamond drillholes from its ongoing drilling campaign on its Boa Fé gold project, located within the Company's 100% owned 47km² Boa Fé Experimental Mining License (EML) in southern Portugal. Colt's 100% owned (732km²) Montemor Gold exploration concession completely surrounds the Boa Fé EML.

The results from Boa Fé are from three deposits namely, Banhos, Chaminé and Casas Novas and are highlighted as follows:

Banhos Deposit*

Chaminé Deposit*

Casas Novas Deposit*

* True Width has not been determined at this time.

Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, stated, "The drilling program at Banhos has been designed to increase our confidence and understanding of this near surface deposit located just 4km from Casas Novas and 5 km from Chaminé.  The results from these and other targets currently being drill tested will form the basis of our next NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate scheduled to be prepared during Q1, 2013.  These results have clarified our understanding of the mechanisms controlling the gold mineralization in this major gold bearing shear zone and are helping to optimize our exploration efforts designed to identify additional mineralized zones both in the Boa Fé EML concession and importantly in the much larger Montemor exploration concession where we have identified nearly 100km of mineralized belts which remain virtually untested by drilling."

Program Strategy

Gold mineralization has been identified in several deposits along a shear zone that extends over some 30 kilometres along strike (Figure 1).  Previous shallow drilling at the Chaminé, Casas Novas and Banhos deposits (Figures 2 and 3) was focussed on the highest grading portions of gold anomalies that closely follow the regional shear.

In all three deposits, the mineralisation style interpreted in the current model (Figure 4) is associated with shears at low-angle to the regional shear direction (S1, S2, T and R) developed due to contrasts in competency between granitic and silica-rich units and pelitic schist within the main regional shear zone. Where conjugate sets of shears occur (i.e. S1 and S2 with T) the best development of mineralisation occurs. Conjugate sets of mineralisation may occur anywhere within the regional shear zone and are not restricted by depth.

Mineralisation appears to be associated with several aplite intrusions locally up to 20m thick. The aplite units are believed to broadly dip 40^o to the south-west, which is broadly analogous to the S₁ direction modelled at Chaminé. There is also a subhorizontal component in the morphology of the aplite as well. The significant mineralisation appears to occur in kinks and localised fold hinges in the aplite corresponding to pressure shadows created in ductile schist in the lee of the more competent aplite.

At Banhos, an aggressive 50m x 50m based drill program was commenced in August, 2012.  The program, consisting of both vertical and inclined holes, has been drilled to develop a better understanding of several shallow structures known historically to host gold mineralization.  Unlike Chaminé and Casas Novas, historical drilling at Banhos was primarily confined to the upper 30m with only 25 irregularly spaced drillholes drilled deeper to an average depth of 100m. Colt's results to date indicate that (similar to Casas Novas and Chaminé), mineralization appears to be associated with several shallow dipping aplite and mafic intrusive units within the broader shear corridor. Drilling is ongoing.

Colt will continue to test its current ideas on structural interpretation against previous models as part of its ongoing strategy to prepare working 3D models of mineralization.  The models incorporate the concept of conjugate shear orientations reinforcing each other and leading to higher grades of gold mineralization. The Company will continue its aggressive advanced stage exploration campaign consisting of a combination of vertical and inclined drill holes positioned to confirm previous drilling results at Chaminé, Casas Novas, Ligeiro, Braços and Banhos deposits and investigate the gaps between Chaminé-Casas Novas and Chaminé-Ligeiro to increase resource potential.  Results currently being interpreted from geophysical exploration will greatly assist in advancing targets in the gap areas. High priority regional targets identified through field prospecting are being tested.  The results of this phase of work will form the basis for an updated NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate covering several previously drilled gold bearing deposits within the Boa Fé EML.

Minimal drilling has been performed to test depth extensions below an average of 100 metres or along strike between known mineralized deposits.  Given the shear zone style of mineralization and extensive gold anomalies in soils, there is good potential to build upon previous work that supported several non NI43-101 compliant resource estimates that range from 150koz to 610koz of gold as defined over the period 1991-2008 (see press release March 7, 2011).

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)

Drill sample intervals are reported as metres (m) down hole and as such do not represent true widths of mineralized intersections. 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 probable high grade zones based on visible mineralisation and favourable structure. 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 ALS Chemex's facility in Seville, Spain, where they undergo sample preparation. The resulting pulps are shipped by ALS to their laboratory in Romania for gold assay and routine ICP multi-element analysis. Gold analysis for all samples is done via method "Au - AA23" (Au by fire assay and AAS, 30g nominal sample weight). The detection limit for this method is 5 ppb. For every sample with Au values over 3 ppm, the pulp is re-analyzed by method "Au - GRA21" (Au by fire assay and gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight). The detection range for this method is 0.05-1000 ppm.

A set of standards and blanks has been inserted by Colt into the drill 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.
