Savant Explorations Ltd.: Yearend Review and Outlook for 2012

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 9, 2011) - Jack McClintock President and CEO of Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SVT) ("Savant" or the "Company") provides the following review of 2011 and the outlook for 2012.

Quebec Projects

The 2011 drilling program on the McWatters Property discovered the G Zone believed to be the western extension of the McWatters Mine Vein system (6.15gpt gold over 6.5 metres). There is no recorded drilling along the projected western extension and the G Zone vein is open in all directions. Historical resources were confirmed to be open to depth and a new vein was discovered at depth at the 702 Zone now referred to as the JKL Extension. A follow up program of approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is recommended for 2012 to test the extent of the G Zone and to further test at depth the 702, JKL and JKL Extension zones. Management must now decide how to proceed with advancing the McWatters Property while protecting the resources it has available to them. Current capital markets may not permit Savant to raise funds on favorable terms in the short term so management must consider the alternatives, including optioning or forming joint ventures, if it wishes to proceed with exploration at this time.

Drilling in 2011 on Parbec centred on evaluating the near surface, low-grade gold mineralization highlighted by the 2010 drilling program. Although results were modestly encouraging, after assessment of the results and a review of the remaining drill targets, Management has determined that continuing with the option is not warranted and will terminate the option prior to its next anniversary date on January 4, 2012.

Yuby Gabriela Property, Chile

Minera Fuego, a private Chilean company, optioned the Yuby Gabriela Property in May 2011. Under the terms of the option, Minera Fuego can earn a 100% interest in the property by making US$4.03 million in payments over a 48 month period. Savant will retain a 2.5% NSR of which, Minera Fuego can acquire 1.0% for US$5.0 million. To date, Savant has received US$280,000 in option payments. Since optioning the property, Minera Fuego has carried out geophysical and geological surveys and is planning to drill the property in early 2012. The next option payment of US$250,000 is due at the end of April 2012.
