WILDCAT DRILL RESULTS INCLUDE 26 METRES OF 346.52 G/T SILVER, 12.24% MANGANESE, 3.16% ZINC, 4.22% LEAD AND 0.30% COPPER
Wildcat Silver Corp. has released the results for an
additional 11 holes completed on the company's Hermosa property located
in Santa Cruz county, Arizona.
Of the 11 holes reported, seven holes are step-out holes (holes HDS-117,
HDS-118, HDS-128, HDS-130, HDS-131, HDS-133 and HDS-135). The company
continues to focus on increasing the width and length of the current
resource, and these results further support the extension of
mineralization.
A complete list of drill intercepts, location map and 3-D model of the
Hermosa mineralization are available on the company's website.
Step-out holes
HDS-117 was drilled across or in the northwest-southeast-trending
American fault and connects the down-dropped mineralization intersected
in previously disclosed holes HDS-121 and HDS-119. Of note, HDS-117 intersected 25.9 metres of 346.52 grams per tonne silver, 12.24 per cent manganese,
3.16 per cent zinc, 4.22 per cent lead and 0.30 per cent copper, demonstrating excellent silver, manganese, lead and zinc grades.
HDS-118, a step-out hole of approximately 150 metres to the north of the
existing resource, intersected significant thicknesses of manganese,
lead and zinc mineralization with moderate silver grades. HDS-130, a
larger step-out hole to the north of HDS-118, intersected a horizon of
strong manganese.
The company is prioritizing drilling to expand the resource in the north
and east directions, particularly across the American fault, as
mineralization there appears to be demonstrating more robust silver and
manganese grades.
HDS-135, located in the very south end of Wildcat's patented claims,
intersected a thin horizon of strong manganese mineralization with
moderate silver.
HDS-128, HDS-131 and HDS-133 are located west of the current resource.
HDS-128 and HDS-131 intersected thin to moderate thicknesses of
moderate silver grades while HDS-133 intersected two horizons of
moderate to strong manganese grades.
Infill holes
HDS-124 encountered two distinct zones of mineralization. The upper
zone hosts low manganese but silver of 113.8 g/t over 18.3 metres. The
lower horizon is 22.9 metres thick containing strong manganese
mineralization of 8.74 per cent with 178.4 g/t silver. Within the lower zone
there are two higher grade zones of 4.6 metres and 3.0 metres averaging 7.86 per cent manganese and 440.8 g/t silver
and 23.2 per cent manganese and 397.5 g/t silver, respectively.
HDS-126 is located in the southern portion of the current resource and
intersected three intervals of moderate manganese. HDS-127 is located
on the eastern margin of the current resource and intersected
mineralization characteristic for the upper horizon in the area with
low manganese and moderate silver grades.
HDS-134 is located between previously reported holes HDS-112 and
HDS-113. This drill hole ties that mineralization together and expands
the resource to the east. In the upper horizon this drill hole
encountered 12.2 metres of 9.35 per cent manganese with strong silver grades of 318.4 g/t. In the lower horizon the drilling encountered 33.5 metres of strong
manganese and silver mineralization accompanied by significant lead and
zinc.

The company will continue to aggressively drill with focus on step-out
drilling in the north and east directions and enough infill drilling
to achieve the objective of significantly expanding the size and
quality of the current resource. Wildcat has four drills operating on
the property (two core and two reverse circulation).
Qualified person
The results of Wildcat's drilling results have been reviewed, verified
and compiled by Don Taylor, MSc, PG, vice-president of exploration for
Wildcat Silver, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument
43-101 (NI 43-101). Mr. Taylor has more than 25 years of mineral
exploration and mining experience, and is a licensed professional
geologist in several U.S. states.
Assays and quality assurance/quality control
To ensure reliable sample results, Wildcat has a rigorous QA/QC program
in place that monitors the chain of custody of samples and includes the
insertion of blanks, duplicates and certified reference standards in
each batch of samples. Core is photographed and split in half with
one-half retained in a secured facility for verification purposes.
Sample preparation (crushing and pulverizing) is performed at Skyline
Laboratories, an ISO/IEC-accredited lab located in Tucson, Ariz.
Skyline Laboratories prepares two pulps of all samples and completes
analysis of one pulp sample by ICP for copper, lead, zinc and manganese. The second pulp is shipped to Inspectorate
Labs, an ISO 9001-2008-accredited laboratory in Reno, Nev., where
the duplicate pulp is analyzed for gold and silver. Silver
values are determined by fire assay with an AA finish. For all
samples that assay greater than 200 parts per million silver, the sample is rerun using
fire assay with a gravimetric finish. In certain holes, Skyline
also completes analysis of the pulps for gold (FA/AAS) and Ag by aqua
regia digestion and AA finish. If over 150 g/t, all silver assays are
redone using FA/gravimetric finish.
We seek Safe Harbor.
