Volta Reports More Wide Gold Intercepts at its Kiaka Gold Project in Burkina Faso Including 120.5m @ 0.94g/t Au and
62.24m @ 2.25g/t Au Including 19m @ 4.62g/t Au


Toronto, ON – April 14, 2010 - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta" or the "Company") (TSX: VTR) announces the drill results from the next completed section at its Kiaka Gold Project, located approximately 120 kilometres southeast of Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso. To date, 88 holes (~13,810meters) have been completed of a program comprising more than 150 holes (>22,000 meters). So far results have been received for 67 holes, with this news release covering the latest 6 holes, which are all located on Section 5450N. Randgold hole KDH16 is also located on this section. The highlights from this section include:
• KKRC30 : 93.00m @ 0.70g/t Au, including 4.0m @ 3.89g/t Au
• KRD50 : 34.00m @ 1.56g/t Au AND
• KRD50 : 10.72m @ 1.60g/t Au (hole stopped in mineralization)
• KRD51 : 62.24m @ 2.25g/t Au, including 9m @ 3.67g/t Au and 19m @ 4.62g/t Au
• KRD52 : 120.50m @ 0.94g/t Au, including 14m @ 2.22g/t Au and 8m @ 2.28g/t Au
• KDH16* : 159.00m @ 0.87g/t Au, including 11m @ 1.60g/t Au and 32m @ 1.57g/t Au AND
• KDH16* : 22.00m @ 0.92g/t Au, including 14m @ 1.21g/t Au

* Previously drilled by Randgold

Kevin Bullock, Volta's CEO, said, "These additional exceptional results not only further validate Randgold’s historical results, they also further support our emerging new model of Kiaka that is outlining a new understanding of the mineralization. In particular, we continue to enhance the interpretation of discrete higher grade zones within the broad mineralized lower grade envelope that can be traced from hole to hole and from section to section. Kiaka is an ideal project in that as we drill more we are discovering more nuances that suggest more robust structures than those originally interpreted.”
In order to appreciate the extent and geometry of the mineralization on the 5450N section, the results for the intersections for these holes are highlighted in Table 1 below and on the section in Figure 2. Analyses of the Volta samples were undertaken by fire assay on a 50g charge at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Ouagadougou. Volta's sampling and assay procedures included QA/QC elements that employed the inclusion of certified standards and blanks.
