Boa Fé / Montemor Advanced Stage Gold Project History prior to Colts Ownership

Located 95km east of Lisbon

100% ownership

Located along a major shear zone:

>30 km long

Several high grade outcropping gold

deposits identified with significant

untested strike and depth potential.

Multiple large lower grade gold

anomalies not drill tested

Colt’s NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for six deposits within the

Boa Fé and Montemor area has reported Indicated Resources* of

340,310 oz and Inferred Resources* of 84,200 oz.

Initial metallurgical test work has demonstrated that gold is readily

recoverable using a combination of conventional methods (gravity,

flotation and cyanide technologies)

Significant

Resource

Expansion

Potential

Focussed on delivering

initial gold revenue by

2015 from a sub section

of a potentially world

class gold mining district.

9 9

Historical mainly shallow drilling and

trenching mostly focused on 10Km

strike length (Boa Fé belt) out of an

estimated total extent of over 30km

containing several parallel gold

mineralized zones.

Montemor Shear Zone hosts several

shear corridors favorable for gold

mineralization.

Prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd;

Estimates for the Chaminé, Casas Novas, Banhos, Braços, Ligeiro and Monfurado gold

deposits;

Classification of the Mineral Resource is based on quality control data, geological

continuity, borehole spacing and kriging quality results. The estimate is considered to

have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, as it is constrained by pit

shells optimized on a gold price based on consensus market forecasts and independent

benchmarking, and a cut-off grade derived from reasonable surface mining and

processing costs;

Resources stated as contained within a potentially economically mineable open pit

above a 0.44 g/t Au cut-off. A variable specific gravity estimated for individual block

models;

Pit optimization is based on an assumed gold price of US$1,560/oz , metallurgical

recovery of 90%, mining cost of US$2.00/t and processing and G&A cost of US$18.00/t;

The deposits remain open in all directions;

Tabuaço NI-43-101 Prepared by SRK (UK) and SRK(Exploration Services)

with inputs from SRK (US)1;

Classification of the Mineral Resource is based on quality control data,

geological continuity and borehole spacing. The estimate is considered to

have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, as it is

constrained by a cut-off grade derived from reasonable underground mining

and processing costs;

A cut off grade of 0.3% WO3 has been used to constrain the Mineral

Resource estimate;

This cut-off grade is based on a WO3 price of US$300/mtu2, an underground

mining cost of US$30/t and a processing cost of US$22/t, as supplied by SRK

Denver, and agreed by Colt Resources;

The deposit remains open in all directions.
