Toronto, ON -- October 24, 2012 - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta Resources" or the "Company") (TSX: VTR) announces additional results from the ongoing 2012 drilling program (Phase 4) on the Central Area at its Kiaka Gold Project in Burkina Faso. The Phase 4 program is focused principally on infill drilling those areas where Inferred category resources occur within the open pit shell defined in the pre-feasibility study ("PFS", see News Release of 3 May 2012). The aim is to enhance a portion of these Inferred Resources into the Indicated category, thereby allowing them to be converted to Mineral Reserves so that they report to ore and not waste. This +30,000m drilling program is also testing the area between the Kiaka Central Area and the Kiaka South Area. Shallow RC drilling has also been undertaken adjacent to identified mineralization to cover the full extent of the proposed PFS pit.

In the Kiaka Central Area, Volta Resources has already defined NI 43-101 compliant resources including 117.42 million tonnes @ 1.07 g/t Au for 4,029,000 ounces in the Measured and Indicated categories and 29.96 million tonnes @ 1.00 g/t Au for 1,000,000 ounces in the Inferred category (see News Release of March 21, 2012) which include Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 126.08 million tonnes at a diluted grade of 0.96 g/t Au for 3.89 million ounces of gold within a single open pit (see News Release of May 3, 2012). In addition, Volta Resources has recently announced a maiden NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource estimate for the Kiaka South deposit, located some 700m southwest of the Company's Kiaka Central Area. The estimate includes 1.84 million tonnes @ 2.0 g/t Au for 118,000 ounces in the Measured and Indicated categories (see News Release of September 27, 2012).

The current press release includes the results from 110 drill holes located in the northern half of the Kiaka Central Area (see Figure 1), between Section 5650N and Section 6500N as well as one hole located in the southern part of the prospect. These holes, totaling 16,434m of drilling, comprise respectively 32 core holes (11,632m) and 79 reverse circulation holes (4,802m). The results confirm the extension of the gold mineralization at depth and along strike in the Kiaka Central Area. They show that gold mineralization can be continuously traced to over 350m vertical depth in the northernmost part of the area (sections 6100N and 6200N). Intersection highlights (based on uncut assays) from the current reported holes include:

• KDH346 :   11.00m @ 1.96g/t Au, including 5.0m @ 3.83g/t Au AND
• KDH346 :   16.70m @ 1.77g/t Au,
• KDH347 :   170.50m @ 0.83g/t Au, including 19.00m @ 1.51g/t Au
• KDH350 :   249.55m @ 0.86g/t Au, including 16.90m @ 2.32g/t Au
• KDH351 :   126.00m @ 1.90g/t Au, including 9.20m @ 4.84g/t Au AND 24.00m @ 3.02g/t Au
• KDH356 :   73.00m @ 1.39g/t Au, including 5.00m @ 7.45g/t Au
• KDH398 :   81.80m @ 1.48g/t Au, including 7.00m @ 10.15g/t Au AND
• KDH398 :   15.40m @ 4.10g/t Au, including 7.40m @ 8.23g/t Au
• KDH409 :   37.85m @ 1.82g/t Au, including 17.00m @ 2.88g/t Au

Kevin Bullock, Volta Resources' President and CEO, commented, "The results from these drill holes have confirmed the considerable width and tenor of the mineralization from 200m to 350m below surface between sections 5950N and 6200N. This will convert to additional Measured and Indicated Resources in the Kiaka Central inventory."

Results for the holes are highlighted in Table 1 and locations shown in Figure 1. Analyses of the Volta Resources samples were undertaken by fire assay on a 50g charge at ALS Chemex Laboratories and/or at Actlabs Laboratory, both in Ouagadougou. Volta Resources' sampling and assay procedures included rigorous QA/QC elements that employed the inclusion of certified standards and blanks.

Notes on Table 1:

1. Intervals are core length. True width is unknown at this time.
2. Intersections are based on a 0.3 g/t gold cut-off with maximum internal dilution (MID) of 5m for the lower grade mineralization envelope, except for hole KDH349 (451.85-491.0m) and KDH350 (299.0-548.55m) where it has been increased to 6 and 5.55m respectively.
3. In order to highlight the continuity of the high grade zone, a 0.8 g/t gold cut-off with maximum internal dilution of 2m has been used.
4. Average gold grades (g/t) are presented with and without topcut applied in separate columns. The values with topcut have applied a grade capping of 15g/t Au.
5. Where core losses were reported in the mineralized intercepts, the width of the entire mineralized intercept is reported at the weighted average grade of the remaining samples.
6. The intersections listed in the table represent sections of at least 3m in excess of 1g/t Au and/or sections of at least 10m in excess of 0.5g/t Au.
7. The intersections represent sections drilled by reverse circulation (RC) and/or cored drilling (see Table 2).
8. The RC portions of the drill holes were sampled at 1m intervals. Dry samples were riffle-split to provide 2 kg samples sent to the laboratory. Wet samples were dried in the field, then riffle-split in the same way. The cored portion of the drill holes were sampled at one meter intervals and cut in half using a diamond saw. Half-core is archived at the core storage facility on site while the other half was sent to the laboratory.
9. Samples were then sent to ALS Chemex and/or Actlabs in Ouagadougou for Fire Assay on a 50g charge.
10. Certified standards were inserted every 15 samples, field duplicates (in the RC portions) about every 25 and blanks about every 10 samples. The blanks, certified standards and duplicate assays confirm that all assays used to compile the intersections quoted here have passed Volta Resources's rigorous QA/QC checks.

Forward Looking Information Caution:

This press release presents "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation that involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future price of gold and other minerals and metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the capital expenditures, costs and timing of the resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency exchange rate fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Volta Resources to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements, including but not limited to: risks related to international operations, risks related to the integration of acquisitions; risks related to joint venture operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current or future reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold and other minerals and metals; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; and delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities. Although the management and officers of Volta Resources believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Volta Resources does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
