Savant Provides Updates on McWatters Drilling

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 27, 2011) - Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SVT) ("Savant") is pleased to provide the following update on its McWatters Project. Since resuming drilling earlier in January, an additional 2 holes have been completed and drilling of the 6^th drill-hole has begun. To date, 4 holes have been drilled in the JKL zone, with the 5^th hole drilled into the 702 Zone. We anticipate this first phase program of drilling will be completed in early February with approximately 3,500 metres completed by that date. This is 1,500 metre more than the originally planned 2,000 metre program. Sampling of the core resumed in early January and results will be announced when they have been received and compiled.

The McWatters Property covers 4.0 km of strike length along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and includes the past-producing McWatters Mine (reported past production of 334,500 tonnes grading 10.8 grams/t gold), and two diluted historical resources of 235,000 tonnes grading 6.6 grams/t gold and 170,000 tonnes grading 5.0 grams/t gold referred to as the JKL and 702 Zones. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources, Savant is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the historical estimates should not be relied upon. The historical resources were shallowly tested to depths less than 225 metres and remain open at depth. One of the historical resources occurs within a broad zone of alteration in mafic volcanic rocks along the main Cadillac-Larder Lake Break. The style and setting of the mineralization in this historical resource is similar to that in the high-grade, deep seated gold deposits in the Kirkland Lake District including the Kerr Addison Mine (39.5 Mt grading 8.5 grams/t gold).

Little exploration has occurred on the property away from the McWatters Mine and the historical resources. In these areas, testing of the main Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and secondary parallel structures, which host the gold mineralization on the property, is generally limited to depths in the order of 150 metres. The historical records note encouraging drill intercepts of 2 to 6 grams/t gold over narrow intervals in a parallel structure located north of the main Cadillac-Larder Break which warrants additional drilling. Savant has an option to acquire a 100% interest in the McWatters Property (See Savant press November 9, 2010 for details).
