Volta Resources is exploring on 11 projects, comprising 24 individual properties for a total of 3,940 km2 of highly prospective greenstone belts located in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali. The projects are generally located on the margins of mature to emerging gold belts, the geological setting for numerous world-class gold mines in the region.

In 2010 Volta will be focussed primarily on its most advanced projects. In Burkina Faso, these include extensive and aggressive drilling campaigns at the Kiaka Gold Project and the Gaoua Copper-Gold Project. Drilling campaigns are also scheduled for the Kampti Gold Project, the Nassara Gold Prospect and the Titao Gold Project.

In Mali, earlier stage work including geochemical soil sampling, ground geophysics and auger drilling will be undertaken on the South Mali Project.

In Ghana, work has been suspended on the Bui Gold Project pending resolution of an impasse created by the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency not renewing the required environmental permits for exploration because it deems that any potential mining might have an impact on the structural integrity of the Bui dam which is currently being constructed more than 25 kilometers from the closest Bui properties. Newmont Ghana continue exploring on the Newmont JV Project located on strike to the south of the Ahafo Mine structure.
