WILDCAT DRILL RESULTS INCLUDE 37 METRES OF 407 GRAMS PER TONNE SILVER, 14.6% MANGANESE, 2.01% ZINC AND 2.30% LEAD
Wildcat Silver Corp. has released the results of four
additional drill holes completed on the company's flagship Hermosa
property located in Santa Cruz county, Arizona.
Of the four holes reported, three holes were step-out holes (holes
HDS-114, HDS-115 and HDS-116). A total of 23 holes have been drilled in
the current program for a total of 6,250 metres, of which 11 holes
(eight step-out holes) have been reported to date.
A complete list of drill intercepts, and the location map and 3-D model of the
Hermosa mineralization are now available on the company's website.
Step-out holes
Drill holes HDS-114, HDS-115 and HDS-116 continue to test the eastern and
southeastern portions of the Hermosa resource area, demonstrating high
grades of silver and manganese. Significant assays encountered in
these drill holes support the extension of mineralization beyond the
current resource and provide important geologic information in a
previously untested area where recognized faulting exists.
Infill hole
HDS-112 is located near the western edge of the current Hermosa
resource. The significant silver and manganese mineralization
encountered in this hole confirms continuity with previous drilling
north and south of HDS-112, and indicates that the resource remains robust
and open to the northwest. Future drilling will target the connection
to the mineralization intersected in the previously reported hole
HDS-113 (results reported in Stockwatch on March 24, 2011) as well as to the west and
northwest. Of note, HDS-112 intersected 36.6 metres of 406.5 grams per tonne silver, 14.55 per cent manganese, 2.01 per cent zinc, 2.30 per cent
lead and 0.15 per cent copper.

The company will continue to aggressively drill as mineralization
remains open in all directions. Exploration efforts will primarily
focus on step-out drilling with the objective of significantly
expanding the current resource. Wildcat now has four drills operating
on the property (two core and two reverse circulation).
Qualified person
The results of Wildcat's drilling 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. Mr. Taylor has more than 25 years of mineral
exploration and mining experience, and is a licensed professional
geologist in several U.S. states.
