Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO <strong>of</strong> <strong>Colt</strong>, st<strong>at</strong>ed, “The drilling program <strong>at</strong> Banhos has been designed<br />

to increase our confidence and understanding <strong>of</strong> this near surface deposit loc<strong>at</strong>ed just 4km from Casas<br />

Novas and 5 km from Chaminé. The <strong>results</strong> from these and other targets currently being drill tested will<br />

form the basis <strong>of</strong> our next NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estim<strong>at</strong>e scheduled to be prepared<br />

during Q1, 2013. These <strong>results</strong> have clarified our understanding <strong>of</strong> the mechanisms controlling the gold<br />

mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion in this major gold bearing shear zone and are helping to optimize our explor<strong>at</strong>ion efforts<br />

designed to identify additional mineralized zones both in the <strong>Boa</strong> <strong>Fé</strong> EML concession and importantly in<br />

the much larger Montemor explor<strong>at</strong>ion concession where we have identified nearly 100km <strong>of</strong><br />

mineralized belts which remain virtually untested by drilling.”<br />

Program Str<strong>at</strong>egy<br />

<strong>Gold</strong> mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion has been identified in several depos<strong>its</strong> along a shear zone th<strong>at</strong> extends over some<br />

30 kilometres along strike (Figure 1). Previous shallow drilling <strong>at</strong> the Chaminé, Casas Novas and Banhos<br />

depos<strong>its</strong> (Figures 2 and 3) was focussed on the highest grading portions <strong>of</strong> gold anomalies th<strong>at</strong> closely<br />

follow the regional shear.<br />

In all three depos<strong>its</strong>, the mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion style interpreted in the current model (Figure 4) is associ<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

with shears <strong>at</strong> low-angle to the regional shear direction (S1, S2, T and R) developed due to contrasts in<br />

competency between granitic and silica–rich un<strong>its</strong> and pelitic schist within the main regional shear zone.<br />

Where conjug<strong>at</strong>e sets <strong>of</strong> shears occur (i.e. S1 and S2 with T) the best development <strong>of</strong> mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

occurs. Conjug<strong>at</strong>e sets <strong>of</strong> mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion may occur anywhere within the regional shear zone and are<br />

not restricted by depth.<br />

Mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion appears to be associ<strong>at</strong>ed with several aplite intrusions locally up to 20m thick. The aplite<br />

un<strong>its</strong> are believed to broadly dip 40 o to the south-west, which is broadly analogous to the S1 direction<br />

modelled <strong>at</strong> Chaminé. There is also a subhorizontal component in the morphology <strong>of</strong> the aplite as well.<br />

The significant mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion appears to occur in kinks and localised fold hinges in the aplite<br />

corresponding to pressure shadows cre<strong>at</strong>ed in ductile schist in the lee <strong>of</strong> the more competent aplite.<br />

At Banhos, an aggressive 50m x 50m based drill program was commenced in August, 2012. The<br />

program, consisting <strong>of</strong> both vertical and inclined holes, has been drilled to develop a better<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> several shallow structures known historically to host gold mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion. Unlike<br />

Chaminé and Casas Novas, historical drilling <strong>at</strong> Banhos was primarily confined to the upper 30m with<br />

only 25 irregularly spaced <strong>drillholes</strong> drilled deeper to an average depth <strong>of</strong> 100m. <strong>Colt</strong>’s <strong>results</strong> to d<strong>at</strong>e<br />

indic<strong>at</strong>e th<strong>at</strong> (similar to Casas Novas and Chaminé), mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion appears to be associ<strong>at</strong>ed with several<br />

shallow dipping aplite and mafic intrusive un<strong>its</strong> within the broader shear corridor. Drilling is ongoing.


<strong>Colt</strong> will continue to test <strong>its</strong> current ideas on structural interpret<strong>at</strong>ion against previous models as part <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>its</strong> ongoing str<strong>at</strong>egy to prepare working 3D models <strong>of</strong> mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion. The models incorpor<strong>at</strong>e the<br />

concept <strong>of</strong> conjug<strong>at</strong>e shear orient<strong>at</strong>ions reinforcing each other and leading to higher grades <strong>of</strong> gold<br />

mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion. The Company will continue <strong>its</strong> aggressive advanced stage explor<strong>at</strong>ion campaign<br />

consisting <strong>of</strong> a combin<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> vertical and inclined drill holes positioned to confirm previous drilling<br />

<strong>results</strong> <strong>at</strong> Chaminé, Casas Novas, Ligeiro, Braços and Banhos depos<strong>its</strong> and investig<strong>at</strong>e the gaps between<br />

Chaminé-Casas Novas and Chaminé-Ligeiro to increase resource potential. Results currently being<br />

interpreted from geophysical explor<strong>at</strong>ion will gre<strong>at</strong>ly assist in advancing targets in the gap areas. High<br />

priority regional targets identified through field prospecting are being tested. The <strong>results</strong> <strong>of</strong> this phase<br />

<strong>of</strong> work will form the basis for an upd<strong>at</strong>ed NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estim<strong>at</strong>e covering<br />

several previously drilled gold bearing depos<strong>its</strong> within the <strong>Boa</strong> <strong>Fé</strong> EML.<br />

Minimal drilling has been performed to test depth extensions below an average <strong>of</strong> 100 metres or along<br />

strike between known mineralized depos<strong>its</strong>. Given the shear zone style <strong>of</strong> mineraliz<strong>at</strong>ion and extensive<br />

gold anomalies in soils, there is good potential to build upon previous work th<strong>at</strong> supported several non<br />

NI43-101 compliant resource estim<strong>at</strong>es th<strong>at</strong> range from 150koz to 610koz <strong>of</strong> gold as defined over the<br />

period 1991-2008 (see press release March 7, 2011).<br />

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)<br />

Drill sample intervals are reported as metres (m) down hole and as such do not represent true widths <strong>of</strong><br />

mineralized intersections. All drill core is transported by Company personnel from drill site to a nearby<br />

secure storage facility for logging and sampling. Sampling intervals are defined after core logging and<br />

determin<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong> probable high grade zones based on visible mineralis<strong>at</strong>ion and favourable structure.<br />

One half <strong>of</strong> the core is sent for analysis, while the other half is retained in the core boxes for future<br />

reference.<br />

All samples are sent by courier to ALS Chemex’s facility in Seville, Spain, where they undergo sample<br />

prepar<strong>at</strong>ion. The resulting pulps are shipped by ALS to their labor<strong>at</strong>ory in Romania for gold assay and<br />

routine ICP multi-element analysis. <strong>Gold</strong> analysis for all samples is done via method “Au – AA23” (Au by<br />

fire assay and AAS, 30g nominal sample weight). The detection limit for this method is 5 ppb. For every<br />

sample with Au values over 3 ppm, the pulp is re-analyzed by method “Au – GRA21” (Au by fire assay<br />

and gravimetric finish, 30g nominal sample weight). The detection range for this method is 0.05-1000<br />

ppm.<br />

A set <strong>of</strong> standards and blanks has been inserted by <strong>Colt</strong> into the drill sample stream on a regular basis in<br />

addition to the labor<strong>at</strong>ory’s own internal QA/QC standards and duplic<strong>at</strong>es. QA/QC <strong>results</strong> to d<strong>at</strong>e are<br />

well within the accepted norm.
