Vancouver, B.C., November 24, 2008 - Wildcat Silver Corporation (TSX-V: WS) (“Wildcat” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce results from ongoing metallurgical test work at the Company’s 80%-owned Hardshell
manganese/silver/zinc/copper/lead project in southern Arizona.
Over the past six months, metallurgical test work by Hazen Research Inc. has identified improvements to the
initial design concept that are expected to reduce capital and operating costs by removing acid from the grinding
step. Test work is ongoing and firm estimates will be provided on completion of the study. Preliminary results
using the magnetic properties of Hardshell’s ore indicate further potential capital and operating cost reductions.
In addition, lead recoveries of more than 80% have been achieved. Prior work had not included lead as a byproduct.
Current estimates of lead grades are 2%.
Test work has also confirmed that each step of the plant process identified in the preliminary assessment
published by Pincock, Allen & Holt in February 2007 produces the intermediate products as designed. (For
details of the preliminary assessment please refer to the Company’s news release dated February 13, 2007,
available on www.wildcatsilver.com).
Chief Executive Officer Chris Jones said, “We are pleased with these encouraging results. Our plans for the
coming months include further evaluation and integration of recent drill results into our geologic model, and the
production of a scoping level mine design using both local and in-house talent.”
About Hardshell
The Hardshell property is a manganese/silver/zinc/copper/lead mineralized zone located 100 kilometres
southeast of Tucson, Arizona, approximately 15 kilometres north of the Mexico border. The property was
discovered in 1879 and was an operating silver mine between 1896 and 1964. Previous owners drilled 104 holes
totalling 13,000 metres. In February 2007 Wildcat published a positive preliminary assessment by Pincock, Allen
& Holt which cited a substantial inferred resource of nearly 1.2 billion pounds of manganese along with 53.5
million ounces of silver (10.3 million tons grading 6.26% manganese and 5.18 ounces per ton silver). (For details
of the preliminary assessment please refer to the Company’s news release dated February 13, 2007, available
on www.wildcatsilver.com). Drilling to date by Wildcat has confirmed the general viability of the historic drill
results and identified previously unknown mineralization at depth.
