Wildcat Exploration's Drill Program at Island Lake, NB Base Metal
Project Receives Budget Approval
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Jun 3, 2014) - Wildcat
Exploration Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:WEL) is pleased to announce that the
Wildcat - Doe Run Canadian Exploration Alliance (the "Alliance")
has approved a work program of approximately $500,000 at its Island
Lake property, located approximately 4 km southeast of the former
Heath Steele zinc-lead mine in Northumberland County, N.B. The
program, to be carried out in June through August, 2014, includes
geophysical and geochemical surveys, mapping and sampling,
overburden drilling and a total of approximately 2,500 m of diamond
drilling.
Based on review of airborne MegaTEM data, 21 electromagnetic
("EM") targets have been identified as anomalous on the Island Lake
property. A preliminary assessment of the targets has been made and
Wildcat geologists will further evaluate them on the ground in
June. EM and magnetic ground-based surveys will be performed on the
best targets with a total of 21 line-km of geophysical surveys
planned. The survey results will be used to identify the most
prospective drill targets on the property.
The Alliance plans to drill at the Railroad Zone to follow up on
mineralization intersected during 2013 (see news release dated
September 9, 2013). Drilling is also planned at the Roche Long Lac
area of the property to test down dip from previously intersected
zinc and lead mineralization and to investigate a coincident
magnetic and EM anomaly. Additional drill targets may be determined
from the ground surveys in the current work program.
The Alliance is a strategic, base metal exploration agreement
between Wildcat and Doe Run Canadian Exploration ULC ("Doe Run
Canadian"), a British Columbia registered company (see news release
December 11, 2012). Under the terms of the Alliance, properties are
acquired and held by Doe Run Canadian, subject to Wildcat's right,
under certain circumstances, to earn up to a 30% interest in one or
more properties.
Wildcat's exploration program is managed by Tom Lewis, P.Eng., a
Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, who has reviewed and
approved all technical information in this release.
