MONTREAL, May 23, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Colt Resources Inc. ("Colt" or the
"Company") (TSXV: GTP) (OTCQX: COLTF) (FRA: P01) announced today that
the final portion of the private placement, as previously-announced by
way of press releases on February 6, 2013, March 27, 2013 and April 19,
2013, is nearing completion.
As previously disclosed, the Company has received an executed
subscription agreement from an Asian-based strategic investor for $5
Million CAD through a newly constituted Hong Kong-based resource
investment fund. The Company received written confirmation that the
funds are expected shortly along with an explanation that the delay has
been administrative in nature and has simply been due to the closing
procedures of the new investment fund. The Company has been in regular
communication with the principals of the fund throughout this process
and it was finally advised last week that the investor´s internal
financing process has been completed. The process has involved many
cross border administrative procedures and the Company was advised
today that the final step is foreign-exchange related and should be
completed very shortly. Immediately following this, funds will be wired
to Colt. This final tranche of the private placement is under the same
terms as the previously-announced private placement, that is a price of
$0.45 per share. Throughout this whole process, the executives from the
fund have expressed regret for these administrative delays and have
reaffirmed their commitment to a long-term relationship with Colt.
The common shares issued by the Company will be subject to a four-month
hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Completion of the final tranche of the private placement is subject to
the receipt of all necessary regulatory, including the TSX Venture
Exchange.
This press release does not constitute an offer or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities
have not been and will not be registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and
may not be offered or sold within the United States unless an exemption
from such registration is available.
Preliminary Economic Assessment
Colt is on schedule and expects to receive and file a Preliminary
Economic Assessment ("PEA"), to be prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd,
for its Tabuaço tungsten project during June, 2013. The PEA will
include financial models based on several mining and processing
alternatives and will be prepared in accordance with the definition

general meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close
