August 1, 2010: MOUNT PEARL, NL--(Marketwire - September 1, 2010) - KAT Exploration, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: KATX) (www.katexploration.com) is pleased to inform its shareholders and investment community that the company is now ready to begin drilling on its 100% wholly owned Rusty Ridge Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) property. Tenders are being called for the drilling program, and as announced earlier, all permits are in place with two distinct targets being defined for deep drilling.
Results of a high resolution airborne magnetic survey, a ground gravity survey along with coincidental magnetic Induced Polarization (IP) resistivity and soil geochemical anomalies suggest potential for a body of Iron Oxide +/- Base, Precious and Rare Earth type mineralization, similar in style and setting to the giant Olympic Dam deposit in Australia.
A completed 3D inversion modeling of the airborne magnetic data shows a discreet, strong magnetic anomaly underlying the Rusty Ridge area. Coincidental with this are moderate to strong IP chargeability anomalies that suggest the possibility of a significant concentration of sulfides. A 3D inversion model of the ground gravity survey identified a large gravity anomaly and several other smaller anomalies further supporting the potential for an IOCG deposit. Selected coincident gravity, magnetic and IP anomalies, including the large gravity anomaly, will now be drill tested to determine the significance of these targets.
Ken Stead, President/CEO of KAT Exploration, stated, "That although the targets to be drilled are deep targets, what is most exciting and of interest is that the anomalies are also 400-500 meters thick. If these targets prove to be thick mineralized units similar to that of the Olympic dam, it will be the first for the province and will no doubt generate a tremendous positive impact for the company."

Jun 16, 2010: ETKAT Exploration Initiates Drilling Program on Rusty Ridge IOCG Property
MOUNT PEARL, NL--(Marketwire - June 16, 2010) - KAT Exploration Inc. (PINKSHEETS: KATX) www.katexploration.com
KAT Exploration is pleased to inform its shareholders and investment community that a deep drilling program on its Rusty Ridge Iron Oxide, Copper & Gold (IOCG) property is being initiated in order to test two major Induced Polarization (IP)/Magnetics targets. Application for drilling has been submitted to Newfoundland Department of Mines & Energy to carry out the work.
A Canadian geological firm with much experience in the Olympic Dam type deposits have been contracted to carry out the project under the direction of our present geologist Mr. James Weick.
The Rusty Ridge targets have been identified by an airborne survey and ground geophysics which can be viewed on KAT's website.
The coincidental magnetic IP resistivity and soil geochemical anomalies suggests potential for a body of Iron Oxide +/- Base, Precious and Rare Earth Element type mineralization, similar in style and settings to the giant Olympic Dam deposit in Australia.
The presence of a large magnetic body that appears to be intrusive into the overlying rock sequence that appear regionally altered, are variably pyritic and contain vein type fluorite mineralization and appears to suggest a magnetic origin for the mineralization.
Anomalous levels of the Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) cerium and lanthanum, all present in Olympic Dam were not only detected in soils but also in rock samples as well in our Rusty Ridge property. In addition, the soil geochemistry also produced anomalies in silver, gold & copper.
President and CEO Ken Stead stated, "This project will be very significant for the growth of the company if the defined targets at depth prove to be a multi-mineral ore body similar to that of the Olympic Dam, or any deposit for that matter. We know the targets are very intense and now we are ready to prove what they are by means of a series of deep drill holes."
Shareholders and Investors will be kept up to date as this drill project moves forward…

MOUNT PEARL, Newfoundland, June 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kat Exploration (Pink Sheets:KATX - News; http://www.katexploration.com/) is pleased to announce that exploration on it's "Rusty Ridge"(IOCG) property was highly successful in identifying coincidental magnetic IP resistivity and soil geochemical anomalies that suggest potential for a body of Iron Oxide +/- Base, Precious and Rare Earth type mineralization, similar in style and setting to the giant Olympic Dam deposit in Australia… A recently completed 3D inversion modeling [shown below] of the airborne magnetic data show a discreet, strong magnetic anomaly underlying the Rusty Ridge area. Coincidental with this are moderate to strong IP chargeability anomalies that suggest either graphite or significant concentrations of sulphides. Graphite can be for the most part eliminated as the rocks are terrestrial, not marine meaning that conductive argillaceous rocks would not be expected in this environment.
Anomalous levels of the Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) cerium and lanthanum, all present in Olympic Dam (and others), were not only detected in soils but also in rock samples. Other rare earth elements such as Yttrium(Y), Niobium(NB), Zirconium(ZR) along with Uranium, were all detected in both soil and rock samples. In addition, the soil geochemistry also produced anomalies in silver, gold and copper.
The host rocks for most of the mineral occurrences and the unit overlying the most intense portion of the magnetic anomaly is a brecciated, hematitic felsic volcanic rock, locally with veins of purple fluorite and disseminated pyrite.
This property has already generated a lot of interest from mining companies and is being offered as a Joint Venture (JV) project.

New information about Rusty Ridge and Shaylee
Here's some new stuff about the Rusty Ridge / Shaylee area. A little while ago I noted that there were some claims north of Rusty Ridge from some other companies. In fact they weren't registered under a company name but that of an individual. Anyway, I did some digging and found his email address and sent him an email. He replied and we struck up an email conversation. I now know who he is, what his company is called and what his company are doing up there.
The company is called Cache Exploration. Here's the map:
Cache Exploration is searching for... Rare Earth Elements (REE)! They are organising further exploration on their claim this summer, led by a top level, award winning independent geologist and university academic. They must be confident too, because on 10th May they doubled their claim size. I also had a chat about them with our CEO Ken Stead. He knows that area well because he has already explored it and is confident that we have the best claims staked already.
So what is important about this? To my mind what is important is that Cache Exploration believe there is enough value in that area from REE deposits alone. We have our copper at Rusty Ridge and we knew that there are REE deposits up there, but this additional DD adds to the circumstantial evidence that the REE value could be immense.
