Volta Reports Additional Positive Results From Target Zone B at the Maména-Fofora Prospect at Kampti in SW Burkina Faso

TORONTO, February 11 - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta" or the "Company") (TSX:VTR) announced today
results from its recently completed short drilling program comprising 10
holes for 921 meters on the Maména-Fofora prospect at its 100% owned Kampti
III property in southern Burkina Faso, West Africa. Highlights include
intersections of 3m (at) 3.06g/t Au, 6m (at) 2.49 g/t Au, 4m (at) 2.11g/t Au,
17m (at)1.14g/t Au and 4m (at) 1.53g/t Au (see Figure 1).

The campaign included nine Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill holes and one
diamond drill core ("DD") hole. The objective of the program was to improve
the definition and extension of the mineralization intersected at Target Zone
B in the previous RC drilling program (See News Release of June 24, 2009) and
auger program (see News Release of November 17, 2009). Target Zone B is one
of 3 target zones within a 1.5 kilometer radius that have been drill tested
so far on the Maména-Fofora prospect at Kampti.

Drilling has confirmed the presence of gold mineralization in the target
area, with most holes intersecting anomalous gold values (>0.25g/t Au) over
multiple zones for more than 500m of strike. Highlights of the results are
presented in the table below.

Kevin Bullock, Volta's President and CEO, said, "These results have added
to our evolving model for mineralization at Kampti. Since these results have
confirmed our view of the mineralization inherent in Target Zone B, we will
now direct our activities toward several other regional targets at Kampti in
order to extrapolate our model and to enhance the Kampti project's overall
potential."

NOTES:

1) Intervals are core length. True width is unknown at this time.

2) Intersections are based on a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off with no top cut
applied. Internal dilution (less than 0.25 g/t Au) has been carried to a
maximum of 3m except in KRC86 where the maximum internal dilution (MID) is
4m. The 0.25 g/t Au cut-off best expresses the lower-grade envelope in which
the high-grade mineralized systems occur

3) The intersections listed in the table represent sections of at least
2m in excess of 1g/t Au and/or sections of at least 5m in excess of 0.5g/t
Au.

4) Dry RC 1m-interval 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 core hole S1KT was sampled at one metre intervals
and cut in half using a diamond saw. One-half of the core was archived at the
core storage facility on site while the other half was sent to the laboratory

5) Samples were sent to ALS Chemex in Ouagadougou for standard
preparation followed by Fire Assay on a 50g charge.

6) Standards were inserted every 15 samples, field duplicates (in the RC
holes only) about every 25 and blanks about every 35 samples. The blanks,
certified standards and duplicate assays confirm that all assays used to
compile the intersections quoted here have passed Volta's rigorous QA/QC
checks.

This phase of drilling suggests mineralization comprises a plunging
higher grade zone with multiple parallel reefs within a broader mineralized
envelope. The next step at Kampti will entail pursuing several other
prospects outside of Maména-Fofora which show mineralization being exploited
by artisanal workers in similar structural settings as drilled at Target Zone
B.
