Colt Resources Inc., a mining company, will sign two contracts with the Portuguese government today to look for tungsten and gold in the north of the country, the company said.

Colt, based in Montreal, expects to invest about 97 million euros ($129 million) in its search for tungsten and gold deposits in the towns of Tabuaco and Penedono, it said in an e- mailed statement today.

The company signed a three-year exploration deal with the government in 2011 to look for gold at Boa Fe, near the town of Montemor, and plans to start production in early 2014, Chief Executive Officer Nikolas Perrault said last year.

Premier African Minerals (LON:PAM) is confident its flagship RHA tungsten project is ripe for development after a positive exploration update.

Sampling confirmed significant tungsten oxide values, with the best values being: hole DD003 – weighted average of 0.46% WO3 (tungsten trioxide) over a 15 metre intersection width; DD004 – weighted average 0.65% WO3 over six metres; DD006 – weighted average 1.33% WO3 over three metres.

Drilling has uncovered two, potentially three, previously unknown, well-mineralised quartz veins lying in the hanging wall of the existing lode system, the company added.Further low-cost surface trenching and sampling will be undertaken in the first quarter of 2013 to confirm the surface location and extent of the hanging wall lodes.

Premier's chief executive officer George Roach said: "This update has revealed significant tungsten mineralisation in the form of very coarse wolframite crystals hosted by quartz veins identified from drill hole intersections, and highlights the exceptional prospectivity of our RHA tungsten project.”

“The conceptual study will consider the possibility of early and low-cost production from the recently discovered outcropping mineralised quartz veins, and from existing tailings dams and dumps,” Roach said.

“Given the availability of water and power at our RHA property, and the relative simplicity of the required processing plant, we believe that we will be able to commence development with a view to production potentially before the end of 2013," Roach added.

LONDON-LISTED commodity firm Premier African Minerals has revealed that its flagship tungsten project in Zimbabwe could be in production before the end of this year.

Releasing a positive exploration update from the project ‒ which is located in the prospective Kamativi tin belt in north-west Zimbabwe ‒ the company confirmed that it had the potential to be developed into a low capital and operating cost tungsten mine in the near term.

Tungsten is used to make hard materials such as equipment used in the armaments, mining, petroleum and construction industries, as well as to make heavy metal alloys, steels and other chemical compounds.

Premier CEO George Roach said: “Given the availability of water and power at our RHA property, and the relative simplicity of the required processing plant, we believe that we will be able to commence development with a view to production potentially before the end of 2013.”

He said Premier African Minerals was planning to carry out further surface trenching and said sampling was scheduled to be undertaken before the end of March. This would be undertaken to ascertain and confirm the mineral surface location and establish other details.

Apart from its Zimbabwe expansion through the planned tungsten mine, Premier African Minerals reported last month that three of its Southern Togo exploration permits for a project covering phosphates, uranium and rare earth mineral deposits had been renewed another two years.

“On a wider level, we continue to implement our business strategy of building shareholder value through strategic, cost-effective acquisitions and joint-venture partnerships, while advancing our multi-commodity portfolio that already consists of preproduction assets and early-stage exploration projects, primarily in Zimbabwe and Togo,” Roach said.

Zimbabwe is considered a lucrative destination for mining investors despite concerns around the country’s empowerment policy, which compels foreign firms to cede 51 percent shareholding to locals.

The U.S. and Europe may have been skirting the edge of financial peril for years, but Christopher Ecclestone, who is the principal and mining strategist of London-based Hallgarten & Co., told The Metals Report that the gold price should drop this year as investors realize that there's no more cause for panic. However, the frank and expressive Ecclestone has plenty of other suggestions for what's "sexy" this year (zinc, copper and specialty metals), even as he rips into "business as usual" gold majors and chastises any management team with the nerve to offer a 0.5% dividend.

Christopher believes that the metal market will recover in 2013. Why is this? He said that We'll have a different type of recovery than we've had in the past, when everything was driven by the financial industry and house price inflation. The U.S. keeps driving along the edge of the cliff like Thelma and Louise, but never actually going over.

I get the feeling that there will inevitably have to be a recuperation. The ducks are in the row now for an industrial recuperation—probably a construction-led one. I'm not talking about a rip-roaring recovery, but there is such a delicate balance in base metals between supply and demand that it doesn't take much recovery to vacuum up lingering stocks and tip the markets back into a deficit situation again.

Christopher Ecclestone is a principal and mining strategist at Hallgarten & Co. in New York. He is also a director of Mediterranean Resources, a gold mining company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, with properties in Turkey. Prior to founding Hallgarten in 2003, he was the head of research at an economic think tank in New Jersey. Before moving to the U.S., he was the founder and head of research at the esteemed Argentine equity research firm Buenos Aires Trust Co. from 1991 until 2001. Prior to his arrival in Argentina, he worked in London beginning in 1985 as a corporate finance and equities analyst and as a freelance consultant on the restructuring of the securities industry. He graduated in 1981 from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

Mega Precious Metals Inc. ("Mega") is pleased to announce that the company has commenced its 2013 exploration & drill program and discovered high grade concentrations of Tungsten at its high grade multimillion ounce gold deposit at the Monument Bay Gold Camp, in Manitoba.

In mid-2012, Mega's geological team, in conjunction with the University of Manitoba, determined that the gold mineralized zones have highly elevated concentrations of tungsten in the form of a mineral called Scheelite. The Gold/Scheelite association was determined using a UV light and has outlined the mineralized zones to be broad and continuous. These Scheelite veins occur within the current gold mineralized footprint at Monument Bay and could become a significant economic by-product (University of Manitoba Presentation Nov 2012). Mega's geological team has been reviewing in excess of 130,000 m of drill core to continue to outline these mineralized structures.

Mega is pleased to announce its first preliminary analytical Tungsten assay results for core previously assays in 2011 only for Au mineralization has shown the potential for an economic by-product credit. The initial results have indicated Tungsten values in excess of 2.01% over 1m with a broad lower grade halo. A grade of 2.01% Tungsten equates to 20.1 kg of Tungsten per tonne. The current average January spot price of tungsten is $52.90/kg. As a point of reference, current Tungsten only mines have resource grades between 0.09 and 1.1% Tungsten with the average being ~0.49% Tungsten. There are currently over 17 holes with over 600 Tungsten assays pending for the initial program.

Note: * Gold equivalent grade is calculated by multiplying the January Average Spot Tungsten price of $52,900/tonne by the %WO3 and then dividing by the Gold Spot price $52.05/gram ($1650/ounce), then adding the Gold grade.

Mega's planned 7000 m step out drill program will focus on expanding the stockwork style high grade gold mineralization of the existing Twin Lakes Deposit, expand the new Mid East and AZ satellite deposits and test the newly found regional exploration gold targets such as the Connector and Gold Pond zones. All of these mineralized zones occur within 7 kms of the existing Twin Lakes Gold Deposit.

In addition, Mega has commenced an update of its National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 Resource Estimate for the Twin Lakes Deposit & area within the Monument Bay Gold Camp. During 2012 work completed included 40 new drill holes (> 12,500 m), over 30 Old Core Assay Program ("OCAP") holes (> 11,568 m) and multiple kilometers of surface mapping and sampling which will be included in the updated resource estimate.

Mega's President & Interim CEO, Glen Kuntz commented "These initial Tungsten results are very exciting as they demonstrate our ability to make new discoveries while continuing to expand the size and extent of the known mineralized zones and with the potential to greatly enhance the economics of our project. The very strong presence of tungsten in the form of scheelite throughout each of our gold bearing structures has demonstrated the polymetallic nature of our deposit will have a significant cost advantage after by-product credit compared to many of our mining peers. The addition of 0.25% tungsten equates to increasing the Au grade equivalent by 2.5 gpt.

This winter's drill program is a combination of infill and step out drilling which is designed to refine the resource model and test regional targets that are outside the current resource boundary. The gold/tungsten knowledge and other mineralization controls that we have gained over the past 12 months is valuable and provides encouragement that the large high grade mineralized systems that we are exploring along the 120 kilometer long trends will contribute to demonstrate the large scale potential of the system and provide strong growth in resources at our Monument Bay Gold Camp.

Additional Gold and Tungsten results are pending from both our current drill program and our ongoing OCAP that will continue to add more resource ounces to this asset backed investment. We expect these programs to be complete by the end of April."

Testing Shallow Targets - More Near Term Potential for Success

It is management's view that our systematic approach continues to provide potential for significant value creation and plans to continue to test the near surface targets and believes that all of the new mineralization outlined since 2011 will potentially increase the areas for potential pits and High Grade underground mines. Mega is committed and focused with its exploration activities beyond the existing resource boundary to establish potential for future resource growth by outlining multiple gold targets along the 120 kms of prospective mineralized corridors.

The current project is easily accessible by air and the Manitoba Government continues to initiate the development of infrastructure in the region, including upgradable power lines, low electricity rates ($0.2-0.4/kWh) and the construction of all season roads within the region in the next 5 years.

Technical Information

The design of Mega's drilling programs, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is under the control of Mega's geological staff including qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. A detailed review of Mega's QA/QC procedures is filed in the NI 43-101 report dated March 19, 2012 and on SEDAR.

All drill core is transported by Company personnel from drill site to our camp for logging, sampling preparation are completed. Sampling intervals are defined after core logging and determination of scheelite content by examination under short-wave UV-light. One half of the core is sent for analysis, while the other half is retained in the core boxes for future reference. All samples are shipped to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario and analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying technique. For QA/QC purposes the Company as well as the lab submits standards and blanks every 20 samples. Samples are analyzed for W by XRF and Assay results for tungsten are reported by the laboratory as W%. WO3 values are calculated using a conversion factor of 1.2611.

Glen Kuntz, President and Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the Qualified Person for the information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person defined by National Instrument 43-101. Glen was Sr. Resource Geologist at the Campbell Gold Mine and Global Spatial Data Systems Coordinator for Placer Dome, Vice President Enterprise Mining Solutions for Runge Ltd., and most recently, Chief Operating Officer with Mega Precious Metals.
