Volta Resources Reports Drilling Results from Kiaka Gold Project in Burkina Faso

Volta Resources Inc. (TSX: VTR) announces the drill results from the next completed section from its on-going drilling program comprising more than 250 holes for approximately 50,000 meters in the Central Area at its Kiaka Gold Project in Burkina Faso.

Results have been received for all 7 holes located on Section 5325N (See Figure 1), some 50m NE of previous released section 5275N (see News Release of November 29^th). These holes aimed at infilling the main deposit defined so far in the Central Area to 25m x 50m drill spacing and to extend the drilling depth down another 100 vertical meters from its current 200m level.

The highlights from this section include:

• KRD148 : 23.25m @ 2.15g/t Au AND 125.0m @ 1.27g/t Au, including 22.0m @ 2.17g/t Au and including 9.0m @ 3.24g/t Au
• KRD149 : 146.0m @ 1.26g/t Au, including 20.85m @ 2.47g/t Au AND 106.8m @ 0.80g/t Au.
• KRD152 : 209.0m @ 0.99g/t Au, including 33.0m @ 1.64g/t Au
• KDH159 : 6.0m @ 2.26g/t Au
• KDH161 : 127.0m @ 1.17g/t Au AND 106.0m @ 1.17g/t Au, including 35.4m @ 1.82g/t Au
• KDH166 : 132.0m @ 1.07g/t Au, including 15.0m @ 2.35g/t Au and including 6.0m @ 2.30g/t Au

Kevin Bullock, Volta's President & CEO said, "The importance of these holes is that "Kiaka" style mineralization continues well below our previously deepest drilled depths.  The infill holes show great consistency of the orebody while the deeper holes are confirming vertical continuity, enhancing the potential to increase existing gold resources at depth.  Drilling continues at Kiaka and we now have 4 drill rigs carrying out an aggressive program."

The holes on Section 5325N have extended the mineralization to a vertical depth of over 300 meters and confirm widths in excess of 200 meters to the KMZ zone.

Results for the holes are highlighted in Table 1 and in Figure 2.  Analyses of the Volta samples were undertaken by fire assay on a 50g charge at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Ouagadougou. Volta's sampling and assay procedures included QA/QC elements that employed the inclusion of certified standards and blanks.
