Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WEL) is pleased to report that assay
results from drilling on its Burntwood property in the Thompson Nickel Belt
(TNB) confirmed the presence of nickel mineralization as well as an unexpected
gold-bearing quartz vein in the targeted rocks.


The previously announced drill program (see News Release December 14, 2011) was
primarily designed to intersect nickel-copper mineralization in the TNB.
However, Wildcat geologists also analyzed for gold and platinum group elements
(PGE) and this work was successful in identifying gold mineralization in drill
hole TB-2011-02. 


Drill hole TB-2011-02 intersected one metre (core length) of gold mineralization
grading 152.5 g/t gold from 125.9 m to 126.9 m (non 43-101 compliant). This
result was confirmed with a re-assay which graded 145.5 g/t gold and was further
supported by the observation of native gold within a smoky-grey quartz vein and
along the enveloping wall rock. The quartz vein is hosted within a well-foliated
garnet-biotite-quartz metasedimentary rock. Wildcat has completed preliminary
follow-up sampling in core bordering the gold intersection. The drill has been
left on site, and Wildcat plans to follow-up the gold mineralization with
additional drilling. 


Other assay results confirm the presence of nickel mineralization within the
Ospwagan rocks of the TNB. The best intersection occurred in drill hole
TB-2011-01, which included 0.28% Ni from 169.6 m to 180.6 m (11 m core width).
This mineralization is associated with disseminated sulphides (mainly
pyrrhotite) hosted within Ospwagan perridotite. The company is considering
down-hole electromagnetic surveys to check for nearby anomalies.


Tom Lewis, VP of Exploration commented, "Intersecting gold within the TNB was
rather unexpected, although we had sampled for gold and PGE in the remote
possibility that such mineralization might be present. We will continue to focus
on the nickel and copper potential of the Burntwood property and, in addition,
we plan to follow up on this new gold intersection with further drilling." 


Wildcat's exploration program is managed by Tom Lewis, P.Eng., a Qualified
Person as defined by NI 43-101, who has reviewed all technical information in
this release.
