Volta Resources Closes Private Placement By Randgold Resources Limited

 
Toronto, ON - March 29, 2010 - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta" or the "Company") (TSX:VTR) announces that the Company has closed a private placement with Randgold Resources Limited ("Randgold").

Pursuant to the agreement for the purchase and sale of the Kiaka Licence between Randgold and the Company announced November 13, 2009, Randgold has the right to participate pro-rata in all pre-emptive and non pre-emptive equity issues made by the Company, provided at the time of such issue Randgold holds a minimum of 15 per cent of the total issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Company (the "Pre-Emptive Right").

Following the investment in the Company (the "IFC Investment") by the International Finance Corporation (the "IFC) announced March 22, 2010, Randgold has exercised its Pre-Emptive Right and invested C$730,151 to acquire 986,691 Volta units ("Units") at a price of C$0.74 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half of a share purchase warrant. Each full share purchase warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$1.03 at any time up to March 26, 2015 (the "warrant exercise period"). The expiry date of the warrants would be accelerated if at any time during the warrant exercise period, the 15-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Volta's shares exceeds C$1.55.

The proceeds from the Randgold investments will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. Randgold owns 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Volta Resources following this investment.
