WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Sep 3, 2014) - Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WEL) has intersected significant zinc-lead-copper-silver ("Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag") mineralization in a step out diamond drill hole ("DDH") on the Island Lake property. The drilling is part of the Wildcat-Doe Run Canadian Exploration Alliance's 2014 work program on the property, which is located 4 km southeast of the former Heath Steele Mine, in Northumberland County, N.B.
In drilling at the Railroad Zone, samples from DDH IL-2014-003 included 3.0 m (2.6 m true width) of 6.57% Zn, 2.78% Pb, 0.46% Cu, and 68.1 g/t Ag from 389 m to 392 m down the hole.
