Volta Commences RC Drilling Program to Follow up New Cu-Au Porphyry Targets at its Gaoua Project in Burkina Faso

TORONTO, Canada, November 30 - TSX: VTR

Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta" or the "Company") (TSX:VTR) announced
today that it has commenced a 28 hole reverse circulation ("RC") drilling
program for a total of approximately 2,900 metres on its 100% owned Gaoua
Project in southern Burkina Faso, West Africa (See Figure 1). This follows
positive geochemical auger drilling results at the Boussera prospect and
extensions to the Gongondy copper-gold porphyry deposit. The drill rig,
from Volta's Kampti III property, where drilling has recently been
completed on Target Zone B on the Maména-Fofora prospect has been deployed
directly to Gaoua.

The current program will follow up recent positive geochemical auger
results (See Volta news release dated September 28, 2009). These include (
see Figure 2):

         1. A fourth copper-gold porphyry target, uncovered beneath
            transported alluvium and lateritic regolith, in the 6 kilometer
            gap between the Gongondy and Dienemera deposits. The nature of
            the geochemical auger anomaly at Boussera is similar to that
            encountered at the two copper-gold porphyry deposits where a
            maiden NI43-101 compliant resource (see below) has been
            estimated for the Gaoua project.
         2  A 300 metre southerly extension of the Gongondy copper-gold
            deposit.
         3. Copper-gold mineralization encountered to the west of the post-
            mineral gabbro intrusive at Gongondy, where the strike length
            is sufficient to potentially double the size of the Gongondy
            resource.
         4. A 250 metre to 400 metre wide relatively gold-rich halo
            ((greater than)0.1g/t to a maximum of 1.9g/t) even further west
            of the copper-gold mineralization at Gongondy.

Vic King, Volta's COO, said, "Additional success from this round of
drilling will increase our confidence in growing the overall resource at
Gaoua. It will also support the further potential yet to be defined along
Volta's extensive 35 kilometer porphyry corridor. To this end auger
drilling is continuing to define extensions to the Dienemera deposit and
the Mont Biri prospect".

On February 5, 2009, the Company announced an independent NI 43-101
compliant inferred resource estimate for the Gongondy and Dienemera
deposits on the Gaoua project (See Volta press release dated February 5
2009). The resource estimate was calculated by SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. At
a 0.45% copper equivalent cut-off grade, the Dienemera and Gongondy
deposits host an initial Inferred Resource of 82,600,000 tonnes grading 0.
40% copper and 0.40 g/t gold for a total of 724,880,000 lbs of copper and
1,072,900 ounces of gold. The individual resource estimate for each deposit
is provided in the table below. Copper Equivalent ("CuEQ") has been
calculated from assumed revenues of USD 3,000 per tonne of copper and USD
700 per ounce of gold with metallurgical recovery assumed to be 85% and 70%
respectively based on initial QEMSCAN results. Gold grade has been
multiplied by 0.6 and added to the copper grade to provide CuEQ grade. The
cut off grade further assumes typical costs of USD 2 per tonne for mining
and USD 10 per tonne for processing and general administration costs.
