MONTREAL, March 15, 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 5 holes and 1 trench from the ongoing drilling and trenching campaign on its Boa Fé gold project, located within the Company's 100% owned 47Km² Boa Fé Experimental Mining License (EML) in southern Portugal.   The Boa Fé EML is completely surrounded by the Company's 100% owned (732Km²) Montemor exploration concession.

The results from the Chaminé and Ligeiro deposits are highlighted as follows:

* True Width has not been determined at this time.

Nikolas Perrault, President and CEO of Colt, stated, "As promised, we are providing regular updates from our Boa Fé Gold project.  We have broadened our drilling and trenching efforts to include the Ligeiro deposit and we are pleased to see continued positive near surface results.  In the weeks ahead, we also expect to begin to report results from the nearby Casas Novas deposit as we further expand the campaign currently underway which is designed to confirm and increase the potential of this very exciting gold project ."

Program Strategy

Gold mineralization has been identified in several deposits along a shear zone that extends over some 30 Kilometers along strike (Figure 1).  Previous shallow drilling (Figure 2) was focussed on the highest grading portions of gold anomalies that closely follow the regional shear.  The mineralisation style interpreted in the current model (Figure 3) 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.

Hole BFCH-12-009 is the last hole in a fence-line drilled along section line 6400N at Chaminé and was drilled in the reverse direction to previous drill campaigns to get better definition of the high grade zone with respect to the low angle shear model (see press release February 28, 2012) and fill in a gap interval in a neighbouring previous hole which was not sampled. The results correlate with the current model for this section within +/- 3m tolerance.

Colt will continue to test its current ideas on structural interpretation against previous models and aim to finalize a 3D model that incorporates 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 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 (resistivity and seismic orientation surveys across Chaminé) will greatly assist in advancing targets in the gap areas. High priority regional targets identified through field prospecting will also be tested.  The results of this phase of work will form the basis for an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate to be prepared later in 2012 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 550koz 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.

Trench samples are collected from bedrock exposed at the base of a trench excavated by a backhoe and cleaned and mapped prior to sample collection.  Trench channel samples are collected using hammer and chisel and are generally two metres (m) long with an average width of 10 centimetres (cm).  Channel samples are bagged on site and sent for analysis.

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.
