VANCOUVER, Sept. 27, 2011 /CNW/ - Wildcat Silver Corporation (TSX: WS) ("Wildcat" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results for four additional holes completed on the Company's Hermosa property located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. Results continue to indicate that mineralization remains open beyond the current drilling.

Highlights:

HDS-192, located in an area of shallow drilling within the resource area, encountered two zones of significant silver, manganese and base metals mineralization. The upper zone averaged 483.2 g/t silver, 15.5% manganese, 2.5% zinc, 2.8% lead and 0.2% copper over 22.9 metres. The lower zone averaged 138.5 g/t silver, 12.3% manganese, 3.3% zinc, 1.1% lead and 0.1% copper over 4.6 metres.

HDS-189, located on the east side of the current Hermosa resource, encountered four distinct zones of silver mineralization. Most notable were the two middle intervals which intersected significant silver, manganese and base metals. The lower of these two zones intersected 19.8 metres averaging 433.6 g/t silver; 4.98% manganese, 1.93% zinc, 1.23% lead and 0.24% copper. The upper most of these two intervals returned 47.3 metres of 246.6 g/t silver, 7.44% manganese, 0.65% zinc, 1.27% lead and 0.11% copper.

HDS-190, located in an area of sparse drilling within the resource area, encountered two zones of silver mineralization with significant manganese mineralization. Of significance, the upper zone intersected 25.9 metres of 79.0 g/t silver and 17.8% manganese and the lower zone encountered 39.6 metres of 15.4% manganese.

HDS-173 is the most northeastern drill hole to-date testing the extension of the Hermosa mineralization. This drill hole also encountered two zones of silver mineralization with the upper zone returning 89.3 g/t silver over 16.8 metres.

The Company continues to drill with five rigs on the Hermosa property and remains focused on expanding the size and upgrading the quality of the current resource. An update to the existing Hermosa resource and preliminary economic assessment is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2011. Wildcat's current cash position remains strong and the Company expects it will be sufficient to fund its planned activities through 2012.

Qualified Person
The results of Wildcat's drilling results have been reviewed, verified and compiled by Don Taylor, MSc., PG, vice president of exploration for Wildcat Silver, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). Mr. Taylor has more than 25 years of mineral exploration and mining experience, and is a Registered Professional Geologist through the SME. Mr. Taylor is also a Licensed Professional Geologist in several US states.

Assays and Quality Assurance/Quality Control
To ensure reliable sample results, Wildcat has a rigorous QA/QC program in place that monitors the chain-of-custody of samples and includes the insertion of blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards in each batch of samples. Core is photographed and split in half with one-half retained in a secured facility for verification purposes. Sample preparation (crushing and pulverizing) is performed at Skyline Laboratories, an ISO/IEC accredited lab located in Tucson, Arizona. Skyline Laboratories prepares two pulps of all samples and completes analysis of one pulp sample by ICP for Cu% (copper), Pb% (lead), Zn% (zinc) and Mn% (manganese). The second pulp is shipped to Inspectorate Labs, an ISO: 9001-2008 accredited laboratory in Reno, Nevada, where the duplicate pulp is analyzed for Au (gold) and Ag (silver). Silver values are determined by fire assay (1 AT) with an AA finish. For all samples that assay greater than 200 ppm Ag, the sample is re-run using fire assay (1 AT) with a gravimetric finish. In certain holes Skyline also completes analysis of the pulps for Au (FA/AAS) and Ag by (Aqua Regia digestion and AA finish). If over 150 g/t, all Silver assays are redone using FA/Grav finish at 1AT.

About Wildcat
Wildcat is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on development of Hermosa, its 80% owned silver project located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The project currently has an indicated mineral resource of 6.0 million tonnes averaging 187.8 grams per tonne silver for a total of 36 million ounces of silver in addition to an inferred mineral resource of 46.3 million tonnes averaging 58.6 grams per tonne silver for a total of 85 million ounces of silver as announced on April 20, 2010. The Company's October 2010 updated preliminary economic assessment contemplates an 18 year mine life with expected annual production in excess of 6 million ounces of silver for the first full five years of production.

About Reserves and Resources
This press release uses the terms indicated and inferred resources as a relative measure of the level of confidence in the resource estimate. Readers are cautioned that: (a) mineral resources are not economic mineral reserves; (b) the economic viability of resources that are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated; and (c) it should not be assumed that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically. In addition, inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative to have any economic considerations applied to them. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for certain preliminary economic assessments. Readers should also refer to the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended June 30, 2011 and other continuous disclosure documents available at www.sedar.com, which is subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein.
