Message: Wildcat Exploration Encouraged by Drilling in New Brunswick,
Plans Further Drilling in 2014
,

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Jan. 13, 2013) - Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WEL) is pleased to announce that it has completed a total of 1,867 metres of diamond drilling in four holes on the Island Lake, N.B. property under the Wildcat - Doe Run Canadian Exploration Alliance (the "Alliance"). The Alliance has decided to carry out further drilling on the property in 2014.

The Island Lake property is located approximately 4 km southeast of the former Heath Steele zinc-lead mine in Northumberland County, N.B.

The current drill program was designed to follow up on the results of the initial drilling on the property in which diamond drill hole (DDH) IL-2013-2b intersected 6.5% Zn, 3.2% Pb, and 0.4% Cu across 2.08 m. (see news release dated September 9, 2013). The collar of DDH IL-2013-4 was located to test the extension of mineralization southwest of DDH IL-2013-2b. DDH IL-2013-5 was collared to test beneath IL-2013-2b and was terminated due to hole deviation. DDH IL-2013-6 and 7 were drilled northeast of DDH IL-2013-2b, and fell short of the anticipated mineralized horizon (Upper Railroad Zone). DDH IL-2013-6 intersected 1.01% Zn across 1.04 metres in a felsic unit higher up in the stratigraphy, but was halted due to faulted ground. No other significant assays were reported.

Tom Lewis, Wildcat's VP of Exploration commented, "I am pleased the Alliance plans to continue exploration on the property and on the Railroad Zone in particular. Drilling has intersected interesting mineralization on the zone, and recent geological modeling has provided us with valuable insight into the geometry of the zone. We believe this will enhance our ability to locate mineralization. In addition we plan to continue to evaluate other targets on the property."

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.

Drill intercept widths in this release represent metres down hole, not true width, calculation of which is pending geological interpretation.

Wildcat's exploration program is managed by Tom Lewis, P. Eng., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, who has reviewed all technical information in this release.
