[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nWINNIPEG, Aug. 7 /CNW/ - Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (WEL: TSX-V) has\nmobilized an exploration team to its Foster River zinc property north of La\nRonge, Saskatchewan.\n\n\nThe Foster River property, covering 11,800 hectares, contains Broken Hill\ntype ("BHT") zinc mineralization and has geological characteristics similar to\nthe Broken Hill deposit, a major lead-zinc-silver deposit in Australia.\n\n\nThe Company's field crew has commenced a surface exploration program,\nincluding geological mapping, sampling and prospecting. This work will help to\nestablish the existence of mafic volcanics located footwall to the\nmineralization. Mafic volcanics associated with BHT deposits serve as\nproviders of large amounts of metals to the ore-forming hydrothermal system\nand as a heat source to drive large volumes of metal laden fluids to the sites\nof ore deposition. Work will also focus on outlining the extent of the\nalteration halo and meta-exhalite layers associated with the mineralization\nand assessing their potential to target prospective sites of zinc\nmineralization.\n\n\nThese investigations are part of a three year program scheduled to run\nfrom 2007 through 2009, developed for the Company by Dr Paul Spry, Ph.D. of\nIowa State University, a recognized authority on Broken Hill type deposits.\n\n\nIn addition to the investigation program, Wildcat is currently planning a\nminimum 1500 meter winter drill program in the Fable Lake area of the\nproperty. This initial phase of drilling by the Company is intended to extend\nthe strike and width of known mineralization and to outline new mineralization\nin this area. Drilling will also test the significant soil anomalies that were\nfound in the mobile metal ions survey conducted earlier this year along the\nFable Lake mineralized horizon (See the Company's news release of April 24,\n2007).\n\n\nThis winter, Wildcat also intends to conduct an airborne geophysical\nsurvey over the northern portion of the property, on claims recently staked\nduring the summer of 2006. The survey will encompass the northeast extension\nof the mineralized trend along which most of the Foster River property\nzinc-lead showings occur.\n\n\nAll technical information in this release has been reviewed by Tim Tuba,\nP.Geo. as the Qualified Person on behalf of Wildcat.\n\n\nWildcat Exploration Ltd....
