11. Penedono Gold Concession: Overview
Mineralization comprised of widespread clusters
of gold-bearing vein systems, locally containing
tungsten mineralization.
Veins occur as clusters within a broad west-
northwest trending 16 km long belt. Penedono
Veins consist of:
Steeply dipping quartz-sulphide veins (e.g.
Santo Antonio area) Index
Quartz-sulphide “greisen” veinlets and zones
Sheeted veins and stockwork
Potential for deposits of:
Underground high-grade gold veins
Open pit lower grade gold zones
Numerous untested, large gold-in-soil anomalies
Excellent infrastructure, road access throughout
the concession, with a supportive local population

13. Penedono Concession: Exploration History
Explored and exploited for gold since the
Roman times.
In the mid-1950’s, the Santo Antonio gold
mine went into production and operated
for at least 3 years.
Tenuous records indicate perhaps
110,000 tonnes of material were
processed with perhaps 331,000
grams of gold recovered.
Grade possibly up to 14 g/t Au (source
INETI).
Very limited modern exploration.
San Antonio vein mined by the Romans
Only 5 drilling campaigns completed since
1996, with a total of 5,233 meters in 46
shallow holes. More then half targeted the
Santo Antonio vein system.
14. Penedono Concession: Colt Exploration Results
Acquired concession from Rio Narcea in June 2007.
Comprised of several distinct clusters of auriferous quartz veins, with
seven key areas outlined to date.
Exploration focused on the Santo Antonio vein system - 13 en-echelon,
northeast trending veins outcropping over a 1.2 by 1 km area on the
project
Limited shallow drilling in 2008-2010 by Colt on Veins 11 and 13. These
veins, which had never been drill tested before, produced several high-
grade gold intersections*: (see following slide).

16. Penedono Concession: Outlook
The Penedono Project has potential
for: high-grade vein gold deposits
and low grade open pit gold zones.
Although the Santo Antonio vein
system remains a major target for
further drilling by Colt, other areas of
widespread vein clusters as well as
vast gold-in-soil anomalies remain
largely under-explored and have not
been drill tested.
Interpretation and Conclusions: “It is
apparent that there exist
hydrothermal systems with the Penedono: Drill rig in operation
capacity and potential to host
significant gold and tungsten
deposits.” (according to NI 43-101
report)
17. Santa Margarida do Sado Concession

21. Armamar – Meda Concession: Tabuaço Tungsten Project
In the 1970’s, tungsten bearing skarns were
discovered by government geologists south of the
Tabuaço area.
Mineralization at Tabuaço consists of gently dipping,
well-developed skarn horizons, up to 19 m thick, with
significant scheelite (CaWO4). Armamar -
Meda
In 1981-1982, a SPE/BRGM consortium drilled 6
holes leading to a historical resource at Tabuaço of : Index
~1million tons grading 0.87% WO3
(not NI 43-101 compliant).
Best intersection includes:
19.35 m @ 1.18% WO3
Virtually no exploration since 1982: Colt acquired
concession in Dec. 2007.
NI 43-101 Technical Report, completed in Jan. 2009,
indicated there was “ample justification to recommend
continued exploration on the concession.”

Selected surface and channel results from sampling: include:
São Pedro das Águias Zone – main skarn horizon: surface avg. grade
of 0.673% WO3; average from 23 channel samples taken across the
width of the horizon, but over a total outcrop extension of 260 m.
São Pedro das Águias Zone - main skarn horizon: 0.45% WO3 over
23.3 m: average from 6 samples collected over continuous width of
23.3 m;
including 0.78 % WO3 over 12.45 m.
Several samples from areas along strike returned values above 0.5 % WO3
Many samples also displayed elevated tin assay values
Note: Panasqueira tungsten mine, located some 100 km
south of Tabuaço, hosts P&P Reserves of 2.43 MT @
0.243% WO3 . (Source : Primary Metals, 2007)
29. Tabuaço Tungsten Project: Recent Drill Results
Drilling recently initialed by Colt on the São Pedro das Águias Zone to
confirm and expand on historical resource of ~1.0 million tonnes grading
0.87% WO3 (non NI 43-101 compliant) has returned following results to
date:
Hole DHT-01B: (press release January 20, 2010 )
4.75 m grading 0.52% WO3;
18.80 m grading 0.73% WO3;
includes 2.10 m grading 1.01% WO3
includes 13.77 m grading 0.84% WO3, which includes
3.00 m grading 1.14% WO3 and 6.32 m grading 0.99% WO3.
Hole DHT-02: (press release February 3, 2010)
13.60 m grading 0.93% WO3
includes 10.35 m grading 1.17% WO3, which includes
5.0 m grading 1.44% WO3
32. Tabuaço Tungsten Project: Outlook
