Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is
pleased to report the following initial assays from a regional orientation
sampling program ongoing over the 12 license areas which form Cadillac's Joint
Venture with MATSA in the Iberian Pyrite Belt of Southern Spain. This includes a
6.87 gpt Au result obtained from a sample selected from the exposed contact zone
of the San Miguel Gossan located on the Esperanza investigation permit. The
ongoing regional sampling program is focused on obtaining a number of samples
from both the VMS mineralization outcropping and exposed in stockworks on
several of the properties and from the gossan mineralization exposed on the
various properties. Assay results have been received for the initial gossan
samples to date and are as follows;

These samples were obtained onsite either by or under the direct supervision of
Mr. Jose Malave Mora, Euro Geol. Specifically, sample #E006910 was obtained,
bagged and tagged onsite by Mr. Norman Brewster, P.Geo and President of
Cadillac. The sample program is being executed under the supervision of Mr.
Brian H. Newton, P.Geo and President of Minroc Management Limited. Each of Mr.
Malave, Brewster and Newton are "qualified persons" as defined by National
Instrument 43-101. The samples were personally delivered to the ALS Chemex
preparation facility in Seville under seal by Mr. Malave where they were
processed by ALS Chemex which includes the crushing of each sample and a
representative sample of that material being prepared. These were sent by air
express courier by ALS to their accredited laboratory facility in Vancouver,
Canada where the samples underwent the Au-AA23 (Au 30g FA-AA finish) process.
San Miguel Gossan, P.I. Esperanza
Management of Cadillac is encouraged by the results obtained from the regional
orientation sampling on the Esperanza investigation permit. These samples were
all obtained in the area of the historical San Miguel Mine which was active in
the period between 1860 and 1970 producing both copper from massive sulphides
and gold from gossans. Below is a satellite photo image of the area indicating
where the samples were obtained.

The breadth of sample distribution and the results obtained warrants, in the
opinion of management, a follow up systematic grid sampling program over the
entire extent of the visible gossan mineralization. At present the gossan is
seen on surface over an area that is approximately 400 metres long in an
east-west direction and 100 metres wide in a north-south direction. The gossan
is estimated to be approximately 30 metres thick as seen in one area where the
historic mining activities cut into the face of a hill to remove underlying
material. Rio Tinto is known to have mined both the sulphides in the
mineralization and stockworks for copper and the gossans for gold at this
location. In the photo below the gossan can be seen overlying the stockwork and
mined massive sulphide mineralization. Samples were taken from the exposed
gossan stockwork in this picture which are presently being assayed for gold,
Cadillac intends to make these results public once available.
