TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta" or the "Company") (TSX: VTR) today announced the latest results from the drilling program completed in July on the company's Kiaka Gold Project. The Kiaka project is located approximately 120 kilometres southeast of Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. To date, 155 holes (22,818 meters) have been drilled in the Central Area. This news release reports on some of the holes that were drilled in June and July 2010 which were not used in the previously announced NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Central Area at Kiaka (see news release of June 29th).
A total of 44 holes for 5,738.12 meters were drilled in June and July 2010. The results reported below relate to infill holes drilled to confirm continuity of the Kiaka hanging-wall zone ("KHZ") between 5350N and 5750N and to test the northward extension of the same KHZ zone to 6100N. The highlights from this drilling include:
<< - KRD122: 32.0 m @ 1.00 g/t gold, incl. 7.0 m @ 1.26 g/t gold - KRD126: 27.0 m @ 0.70 g/t gold - KRD125: 27.0 m @ 0.92 g/t gold, incl. 4.0 m @ 2.69 g/t gold - KRD123: 49.0 m @ 4.30 g/t gold, incl. 11.0 m @ 16.83 g/t gold - KRD131: 19.0 m @ 1.60 g/t gold - KRD127: 31.0 m @ 1.19 g/t gold, incl. 13.0 m @ 2.27 g/t gold - KRD128: 31.0 m @ 0.71 g/t gold, incl. 9.0 m @ 1.66 g/t gold - KRD129: 27.0 m @ 0.98 g/t gold, incl. 6.0 m @ 1.14 g/t gold >>
Kevin Bullock, Volta's CEO, said, "These consistent results point to continuity of gold mineralization in the KHZ zone. We believe the significant intersections encountered will enhance the gold resources attributable to the KHZ within the heart of the Central Area and also along strike to the north."
