TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2013 - Volta Resources Inc. ("Volta Resources" or the "Company") (TSX: VTR) is pleased to announce that it has obtained today an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice authorizing, among other things, the holding of the Company's special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders (the "Volta Resources Shareholders") of common shares of Volta Resources (the "Volta Resources Shares") and matters relating to the conduct of such Meeting. At the Meeting, Volta Resources Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution approving the proposed arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Volta Resources and B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold") previously announced on October 28, 2013 and November 14, 2013. Meeting materials, including a Notice of Special Meeting and Management Information Circular, are scheduled to be mailed on November 25, 2013 to registered and beneficial Volta Resources Shareholders of record as at November 15, 2013. Upon completion of the mailing, the materials for the Meeting will be filed by the Company and will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Volta Resources will hold the Meeting at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 17, 2013, at the offices of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, 40 King Street West, Suite 2100, Scotia Plaza, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3C2, Canada. If the special resolution approving the Arrangement is passed by the requisite vote of Volta Resources Shareholders and all other conditions to the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, B2Gold will, at the effective time of the Arrangement, acquire all of the outstanding Volta Resources Shares and Volta Resources will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of B2Gold. The Arrangement is subject to, among other things, the approval of a special resolution by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by Volta Resources Shareholders either in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. In addition, the resolution approving the Arrangement must be passed by a majority of the votes cast by Volta Resources Shareholders excluding persons whose votes may not be included in determining minority approval of a business combination pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Assuming the Arrangement resolution is approved at the Meeting, Volta Resources anticipates returning to court on or about December 19, 2013 to seek a final order to implement the Arrangement. The board of directors of Volta Resources unanimously recommends that Volta Resources Shareholders vote FOR the resolution approving the Arrangement.
