Cadillac Announces Drilling Results at K1-1 Project at Thierry Property

Marketwired Canada
Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce results for the first eight of 26 holes drilled on the K1-1
open pit project at its Thierry Mine property, located in Northwestern Ontario.
Highlights include 110 feet of 0.626% Cu obtained from hole KH-11-21, and 87.5
feet of 0.546% Cu in hole KH-11-19.
The K1-1 project is located approximately 3 kms to the east of the Thierry Mine
project, both being within the boundaries of the 11,538 acre Thierry property,
occupying only a small portion of the property. In late 2011, the Company
released an initial inferred mineral resource estimate for K1-1 within a Whittle
pit shell consisting of: 19,897,000 tonnes grading 0.10% Ni, 0.42% Cu, 2.0 g/t
Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.05 g/t Pt, 0.15 g/t Pd and an Exploration Target for K1-1
located outside and below the resource pit shell of: 45-55 million tonnes
grading between 0.08 and 0.12% Ni, 0.32 to 0.36% Cu. The 26 hole drill program
was designed to address gaps within the pit shell area, as well as test for
extensions along strike and at depth. Depicted below are the eight drillholes
reported on in the press release, relative to the pit shell and the resources
identified within the pit shell, and outside of the pit shell, the latter forms
the exploration target. This drilling is also designed to facilitate the
upgrading of known mineralization from the exploration target category into the
resource statement using infill drilling. This can be seen below where the
drillhole traces in yellow, some of which were collared in the pit, extend below
the pit and the currently modeled mineralized envelopes. Recalculation of the
resource, incorporating these drill results is expected to result in an increase
to the resource by the extension of the modeled mineralization.

"We are pleased with the success of the K1-1 drilling program as seen in the
consistent assay results over significant widths obtained so far, both within
and outside of the currently designed pits. These results will have a positive
impact on the existing resource at K1-1, which in turn will have a positive
impact on the Thierry Mine Project as both the open pit and the underground
resources would share the same infrastructure and capital costs, if a mining
decision is made," stated Norman Brewster, President and CEO of Cadillac.

In this program there was a total of 20,868 feet drilled over the twenty-six
holes, and a total of 2,590 samples taken (excluding quality assurance and
quality control sample protocols). Results have been received for 663 samples
over the holes K-11-17 thru K-11-24 as highlighted above. Of these samples 136
gave Cu values between 0.3 and 0.5%, 57 gave values between 0.5 and 1%, and 6
gave values over 1%. The remainder of the assays will be released as received
and tabulated. Once all of the assays are received the Company will be updating
the initial K1-1 resource statement.
The samples were selected in the field, cut and bagged, sealed with a security
seal and transferred by personnel from Billiken Management Services Inc. and
bonded courier to the facilities of Agat Laboratories Ltd. in Sudbury, Ontario
where they were processed using Total Digestion ICP(Total), with the over limit
results further tested by Fire Assay ICPOES, and the gold, platinum and
palladium tested by Fire Assay ICP.
Mr. Brian H. Newton, P.Geo, of Billiken Management Services Inc. and a
"qualified person" pursuant to NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the technical
information in this press release on behalf of the Company.
About Cadillac
Cadillac is a development-focused copper company currently advancing its 100%
owned Thierry Property, near Pickle Lake, Ontario. The Thierry Property consists
of the past producing Thierry Mine and hosts two NI 43-101 compliant resources:
Thierry Mine and K1-1.
Thierry Mine Deposit
The Thierry Mine is a past producing mine with a current resource estimate
consisting of 8.3 million tonnes measured and indicated grading 1.73% Cu and
0.20% Ni, and 14.6 million tonnes inferred grading 1.70% Cu and 0.16% Ni, using
a cut-off NSR of C$46.30/tonne. The deposit remains open at depth and to the
west.
K1-1 Deposit
The K1-1 is a potentially open-pit, large tonnage, low grade deposit located
approximately 3 km from the past producing Thierry Mine. The inferred mineral
resource estimate for K1-1 within a Whittle pit shell consists of the following
20 million tonnes grading 0.42% Cu, 0.10% Ni, 2.0 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.05 g/t
Pt, 0.15 g/t Pd. The K1-1 Deposit is open along strike and at depth.
