ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

30 March 2021

KOUROUSSA AUGER DRILLING RESULTS OUTLINE THREE GOLD ANOMALY AREAS

Highlights

  • First assay results from Kouroussa Auger drilling programme have outlined three areas of gold anomalies spread over an area ~1,200m by ~900m.

  • Two of the anomalies extend from an area of shallow artisanal workings with auger assay grades up to 1.86g/t gold (3m composite within basal saprolite).

  • Identified anomalous area number 1 has an interpreted length of 450m and is open to the south. Anomalous area 2 has a length of 470m and is adjacent to the Kouroussa Gold Project.

  • An area to the west has two auger holes intercepting anomalous 0.5g/t gold values at the base of hole. This area is a new discovery with it being void of any artisanal workings.

  • The Kouroussa auger drilling programme was completed with a total of 113 holes for 943m drilled to date. The company is planning to drill infill auger holes to better delineate the identified anomalous areas.

  • Volt is continuing with its auger drilling campaign to test the identified anomalous grab samples and artisanal workings targets in all of its granted exploration permits.

Graphite and gold explorer and developer Volt Resources Limited ( ASX: VRC ) (“ Volt” or “ the Company” ) is pleased to announce the results from its initial power auger drilling programme for the Kouroussa permit. The programme has identified anomalous gold spread over an area of approximately 1,200 metres by 900 metres with no testing of the mineralization to depth. The mineralization over this broad area may relate to a single system, and this is to be confirmed by future deep drill programmes.

Volt Managing Director, Trevor Matthews, commented: “This is a very positive start to the auger drilling programme with the first exploration permit tested reporting a number of anomalous gold results which provides encouragement to do further work in the location.

The Volt board is looking forward to the results from the other two completed drill programmes and the current auger drilling programme underway at Konsolon.”

Kouroussa Auger Drilling Results

The Kouroussa exploration permit shares its border with the Kouroussa Gold Mine, and is within the same geological setting as nearby Predictive Discovery Ltd’s Bankan Project. The auger drilling programmes are designed to generate initial Reverse Circulation and Diamond Drilling targets to be drilled later this year.

Two power auger drill rigs completed the initial Kouroussa drilling programme which comprised 113 auger holes for a total of 943 metres. The programme was concentrated in the areas that had anomalous grab sample results and artisanal workings. The auger drilling programme is undertaken to improve the geochemical understanding of the exploration targets using a cheap and efficient method that would penetrate and sample the rock below the lateritic and transported cover.

The first assay results have been received and the results are very encouraging with three geochemically anomalous areas identified. The most promising anomalous area is Area 1 which has a length of approximately 450m and is open to the south with composite sample results up to 1.86g/t gold. Area 2 has an existing surface anomaly and this has been confirmed as having auriferous potential through weak gold mineralization within a number of the auger holes. The third area is a new find and provides a new opportunity to link a broader area of potential mineralization to depth as two very anomalous gold values (0.46g/t and 0.47g/t gold) are recorded in an area with no artisanal workings and are both auriferous saprolite samples.

Given the success to date, further work will be progressed at the Kouroussa permit as follows:

  • Infill auger drilling is proposed at all three areas in order to better delineate the anomalous areas. At Area 3, infill auger holes are planned to go deeper and infill to the south of the anomalous gold values.

  • To understand the nature of the saprolite material, further geochemical testing of the auger samples with anomalous gold values as well as the saprolite samples located within adjacent primary enriched auger locations will be undertaken.

Exploration Programme

The exploration team has relocated to commence the largest auger drilling programme of the campaign, the Konsolon permit. The programme is comprised of 547 drill holes for a total of 8,205 metres. Similar to other permit drilling programmes, the average planned hole depth is 15 metres but will be amended by the actual depth required to intercept the saprolite rock.

Multiple gold in soil anomalies were identified of between 1.0km and 2.5km in length across the Konsolon permit. A previous review of soil samples in the legacy dataset identified high grade gold including 20.25g/t, 12.87g/t, 5.12g/t, 4.97g/t and 3.21g/t gold.[2]

Guinea Projects and Permits

Volt has six permits covering an area of 348.7 square kilometres in Guinea’s highly prospective Siguiri Basin and has grouped them into three projects – the Kouroussa Project, Mandiana Project and Konsolon Project. The permits are held through Volt’s 100% subsidiary Gold Republic Pty Ltd. See Figure 1 below for the project and permit locations.

The Kouroussa Project comprises three permits, the Kouroussa , Kouroussa West and Fadougou permits. The Kouroussa and Kouroussa West permits border the PDI permit which was the subject of a discovery of high-grade gold mineralization in April 2020. To the NE, the Kouroussa Permit borders the Kouroussa mine and the Fadougou permit is located 13km NE of the same mine.

The Konsolon Project constitutes one prospective permit. The permit includes multiple geochemical gold in soil anomalies identified by previous explorers but remains under explored.

The Mandiana Project comprises the highly prospective Nzima permit and Monebo permit. The Nzima permit borders the Nzima artisanal mine and is 15km SW of the 1.1Moz Tri-K Deposit owned by Managem.

About Volt Resources Limited

Volt Resources Limited (“Volt”) is a graphite and gold exploration and development company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange under the ASX code VRC. Volt is currently focused on the exploration and development of its whollyowned Bunyu Graphite Project in Tanzania, as well as the creation of a new gold exploration and development business through leveraging the Company’s existing extensive networks in Africa.

The Bunyu Graphite Project is ideally located near to critical infrastructure with sealed roads running through the project area and ready access to the deep-water port of Mtwara 140km from the Project. In 2018, Volt reported the completion of the Feasibility Study (“FS”) into the Stage 1 development of the Bunyu Graphite Project. The Stage 1 development is based on a mining and processing plant annual throughput rate of 400,000 tonnes of ore to produce on average 23,700tpa of graphite products[3] . A key objective of the Stage 1 development is to establish infrastructure and market position in support of the development of the significantly larger Stage 2 expansion project at Bunyu.

The Guinea Gold Projects comprise 6 permits in Guinea, West Africa having a total area of 348km. The projects are located in the prolific Siguiri Basin which forms part of the richly mineralised West African Birimian Gold Belt.
