Volta commences RC drilling program to follow up high grade targets at
Volta's Kampti gold project in Burkina Faso
TSX: VTR
The drilling planned at Maména-Fofora follows an auger drilling program that successfully improved the definition and extended the significant mineralization intersected at Target Zone B in the previous RC drilling program announced by the Company on
Vic King, Volta's COO, said, "We are eager to pursue the promising results from the recently completed auger drilling program at Kampti. Volta has extended the identified strike length of Target Zone B at Maména-Fofora to approximately 1,200 metres. The current drilling program is designed to infill the existing drill pattern in order to better define the plunge and continuity of the high grade mineralization, as well as extend the RC drilled strike length from 300 metres to over 500 metres. The improved understanding of the geometry of the mineralization gained during the current program at Target Zone B will allow Volta to follow up other existing targets at Maména-Fofora and elsewhere on the Kampti III property more efficiently".
Highlights from drilling undertaken thus far on Target Zone B at the Maména-Fofora prospect included intersections of 41m @ 3.23g/t gold ("Au"), 5m @ 6.84g/t Au, 6m @ 4.28g/t Au, 8m @ 11.80g/t Au and 12m @ 6.72g/t Au (see Figure 1). The widths quoted here and indicated in Figure 1 are downhole lengths as true widths are not known at this stage. Intersections are based on a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off with no top cut applied. Internal dilution (less than 0.25 g/t Au) has been carried to a maximum internal dilution of 4 metres. Dry RC samples were riffle split to provide 2kg samples which were analyzed by ALS Chemex in

Forward Looking Information Caution:
This press release presents "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold and other minerals and metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the capital expenditures, costs and timing of the resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved".

Although the management and officers of Volta believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
