TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 11, 2012) - Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CDC) ("Cadillac" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration has resumed at the Thierry Project, where Cadillac recently received a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment Report (PEA).
The current exploration program is composed of drilling and field prospecting/mapping. The drilling program at K1-1 has been designed to both test new areas of the deposit, in order to potentially increase the mineralized resource at K1-1. The field prospecting/mapping program has been designed to provide field testing and sampling of correlated geophysical and coincident magnetic anomalies on the property, outside of the area of the Thierry Mine and K1-1. Norman Brewster, President & CEO of Cadillac states "while the company is focused on the redevelopment of the Thierry and K1-1 deposits, it is considered timely to ground prioritize the existing geophysical anomalies therefore a limited program is being carried out over the summer months".
The anomalies are shown on the map (To view this map, please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Thierry_Project.pdf) in green, the Thierry Mine and K1-1 area are in red.
