VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2009) - Wildcat Silver Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WS) ("Wildcat" or "the Company") announces drill results for nine step out holes drilled on its 80%-owned Hardshell property in southern Arizona. Three holes were drilled in 2008 and not previously released while six are recently completed holes from the 2009 drill program.

The 2009 drill program focused on exploration of the northwestern extensions of oxide and sulphide mineralization and confirmed continuity of mineralization in this direction. These new results also made previous drilling completed in 2008 significant. The resource remains open to the north and northwest.

Wildcat President and CEO Chris Jones said: "These positive results considerably expand our knowledge of the Hardshell deposit and have increased our confidence in the continuity of the mineralization. We will work to integrate these new drill holes into our model in 2010 and expect the result will be an increase in both size and quality of the resource estimate."
