Penedono Gold Concession

Mineralization comprised of widespread clusters of gold-bearing vein systems, locally containing tungsten.

Veins occur as clusters within a broad west-northwest trending 16 km long belt.

Veins consist of:

– Steeply dipping quartz-sulphide veins (e.g. Santo Antonio area)

– 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

Penedono Gold Concession Exploration History

Explored and exploited for gold dating back to Roman times.

Very limited modern exploration.

In the mid-1950’s, the Santo Antonio gold mine went intoproduction and operated for at least 9 years.

– Tenuous records indicate perhaps 110,000 tonnes of materialwere processed with perhaps 331,000 grams of goldrecovered.

– Grade possibly up to 14 g/t Au (source INETI).

Only 6 drilling campaigns completed since 1996, with a total of7,431 meters in 68 shallow holes.

Just over half targeted the Santo Antonio vein system.

Page 13: Colt investor presentation July 2nd, 2010

Penedono Gold ConcessionExploration Results

Acquired concession from Rio Narcea in June 2007. Several distinct clusters ofauriferous quartz veins, with seven key areas outlined to date.

Focused on the Santo Antonio vein system - 13 en echelon, northeast trendingveins outcropping over a 1.2 km by 1 km area.

Limited shallow drilling in at Santo Antonio in 2008-2010 by Colt on Veins 11and 13 produced several high grade gold intersections*: (see following slide).

Penedono Gold Concession: Outlook

The Penedono Project has potential for high-grade vein gold

deposits and low grade open pit gold zones.

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.

“It is apparent that there exists hydrothermal systems with the capacity and

potential to host significant gold and tungsten deposits.” (as per NI 43-101 report)

Page 16: Colt investor presentation July 2nd, 2010

16

Why Tungsten?

Unique physical attributes:

– Highest melting point of all elements except carbon with highthermal and electrical conductivity

– Extremely strong, wear resistant; with a hardness close to thatof diamonds - highest tensile strength of all metals

– Superior heaviness and density among metals

– Extremely corrosive resistant and relatively acid resistant,deemed environmentally benign

Strategic commodity having few, if any replacements, in themajority of its industrial applications

Primary use mainly for industrial cutting tools

Page 17: Colt investor presentation July 2nd, 2010

17

Investing in Tungsten

Trigger for new investment in tungsten

exploration.

Mid-2000s: Rapid growth and emergence of the

Chinese economy increased demand for tungsten

products in the domestic market and reduced

exports, resulting in rapid global price increases.

In the 1980s and 1990s, production of

WO3 and APT shifted to China. By late

1990s, China secured 90% of global

market for tungsten supply and

production.

Global annual demand currently projected at 60,000 to 80,000 tonnes, expected to

grow by 8% to 10% annually.

Chinese annual consumption estimated at 24,000 tonnes.

Current price ~US$210 to US$2151 per MTU.

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).

In 1981-1982, a SPE/BRGM consortium drilled 6 holes leading to a historical resource at Tabuaço of :

~1 million 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.

Index

NI 43-101 Technical Report, completed in Jan. 2009, indicated there was “ample justification to recommend continued exploration on the concession.”

• Since 2008, surface mapping, prospecting, channel and rock sampling completed on skarn horizons by Colt.

• Selected surface and channel results from sampling: include:

– São Pedro das Águias Zone – main skarn horizon: surface avg. gradeof 0.673% WO3; average from 23 channel samples taken across thewidth of the horizon, but over a total outcrop extension of 260 m.

– São Pedro das Águias Zone - main skarn horizon: 0.45% WO3 over23.3 m: average from 6 samples collected over continuous width of23.3 m;

including 0.78 % WO3 over 12.45 m.

• Several samples from areas along strike returned values above 0.5 %WO3 and 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)
