Winnipeg, Manitoba; July 10, 2008

Wildcat Exploration Ltd. (WEL: TSX-V) ("Wildcat" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the 2008
summer exploration program on its 11,800 hectare Foster River zinc lead (“Zn-Pb”) property characterized by mineralization resembling Broken Hill type (“BHT”) deposits. The property is located120 kilometres north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. A recently completed helicopter-borne DIGHEM electromagnetic and magnetic survey of the two northernmost claims of the property has generated multiple anomalies for investigation along two major northwest trends.
(see News Release June 10, 2008).

Two geological teams were mobilized to the central portion of the property on June 20, 2008. One team is carrying out structural and lithological mapping to (a) establish the existence and location of structurally thickened portions of the mineralized layer and (b) determine the extent and degree of continuity of the mineralized layer between the historically known Zn-Pb showings. The other team is completing a lithological study designed by Prof. Paul G. Spry, a member of the Company’s Technical Advisory Panel. This study aims to prove the similarities of the Foster River mineralization with that of the world class Broken Hill deposit in Australia. Previous sampling and mapping programs by the Company has focused on the southernmost three claims of the group, between the Fable Lake Zn-Pb occurrence at the south end of the property and the Sito Lake East and Sito Lake West occurrences in the central portion of the property. The
petrographic and geochemical analyses from this work have established similarities between the Foster River Zn-Pb
mineralization and the mineralization occurring in other BHT deposits worldwide. The Company is expanding its focus to
include the areas on the northern two claims which contain the Robyn Lake and Mackie Zn-Pb occurrences.

The program, initially scheduled to be completed mid-August, experienced a brief episode of downtime around the Canada Day holiday due to forest fires in the area and specifically around the Sito Lake camp. As a result, the program will be extended to make up for the downtime and also to inspect newly exposed outcrops in the vicinity.

Wildcat would like to take this opportunity to extend thanks and appreciation to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment Fire Management and Forest Protection Branch, based in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, for their timely and successful fire suppression efforts around the Company’s Sito Lake camp, and also to M.A.R.S.H. Expediting and Osprey Wings Ltd. of La Ronge, Saskatchewan for their rapid response to the requested evacuation, and the subsequent efficient restart of camp operations.

Wildcat's 2008 exploration program is being managed, and all technical information in this release has been reviewed, by
Peter Theyer, P.Geo. a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
