Corporate Overview
Volta Resources Inc. (TSX:VTR) is a mineral exploration company focused on becoming a leader in the identification, acquisition and exploration of gold properties in West Africa. The company is currently fast tracking its flagship Kiaka Gold Project, located in Burkina Faso, towards a development decision.
Volta's primary focus is to become the leader in the identification, acquisition and exploration of gold properties in West Africa
Since 1994, Birim Goldfields focussed its exploration attention on Ghana, West Africa where its 'early mover' status allowed it to accumulate over 7,000 km2 - an enviable property portfolio in one of the world's highly prospective gold exploration regions. With over 14 years of dedication, Birim's commitment to Ghana remains strong.
Goldcrest Resources entered Burkina Faso in 2000 and secured several prospective exploration properties including the Gaoua copper-gold porphyry project and the Kampti gold project.
The merged Volta Resources Inc. has a combined management and exploration team that has the skills and regional experience to ensure systematic progress on all projects and the ability to identify and secure new opportunities in the region. After several months of evaluations of opportunities in the region, Volta managed to acquire the Kiaka Gold Project from Randgold Resources Ltd.; which is now Volta's flagship project.
Volta Resources Inc. now offers shareholders:
A flagship project with an aggressive timeline to reach a development decision.
A combined resource base of 1,384,000 ounces of gold in the Indicated category and 1,552,900 ounces of gold and 724,880 lbs. of copper in the Inferred category.
A combined portfolio totalling more than 20 properties in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mali. All of these properties are located on highly prospective Birimian gold belts, similar to those that have delivered several world-class gold mines in West Africa over the last 15 years.
Multiple first class exploration targets, including two projects in Burkina Faso with NI43-101 compliant gold resources.
An aggregate of over $43 Million in cash and marketable securities (as at June 30, 2010) giving Volta the financial strength and flexibility to take advantage of further consolidation and acquisition opportunities in West Africa.
With an experienced, motivated and dedicated team of professionals, a quality portfolio of strategically located properties and a healthy working capital, Volta Resources Inc. is well placed to recognize and capitalize on the mineral rich opportunities in West Africa.
