PAW in Advanced Discussions on Financing Options

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - May 7, 2012) - Pacific Wildcat Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PAW) ("PAW" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that it has entered into discussions with the Vendors and an unrelated third party to provide financing and working capital which will allow the Company to complete the acquisition of the indirect 70% interest in the Mrima Hill Niobium and Rare Earth Project ("the Acquisition").

Further to the Company's News Release dated April 23, 2012 "PAW Announces Extension to Final Closing Date", the Company and the Vendors ("the Parties") are in advanced discussions regarding the structuring of a vendor convertible debt instrument.

Furthermore, the Company is exploring an additional alternative financing proposal from a third party for purposes of closing the Acquisition and providing working capital.

In light of these conditional and non-binding financing proposals, the parties have agreed upon a further extension of the closing date for the Acquisition, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions to May 21, 2012 to enable finalization of the terms of the two financing options to be presented to the PAW Board for consideration.

As a result of these positive discussions the previously announced brokered private placement led by GMP Securities L.P. (see Press Release dated April 9, 2012), has been withdrawn.

In addition, in order to simplify the calculation of the cash payment due to the Vendors on Closing, the parties have agreed that an exchange rate of CDN$1.00 = AUD$0.9653 be used. This results in the closing cash payment being payable to the Vendors CDN$10,960,147 or AUS$10,579,830.

Investors are cautioned that trading in the securities of Pacific Wildcat Resources Corp. should be considered highly speculative. Cautionary note: This press release contains forward looking statements, particularly those regarding cash flow, capital expenditures, work programs, the estimation of mineral resources and the Company's plans with respect to the exploration and development of its projects and its investment plans. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on factors that will or may occur in the future. Actual results may vary depending upon exploration activities, industry production, commodity demand and pricing, currency exchange rates, and, but not limited to, general economic factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a mining licence or any of the permits that are required in order to commence mining operations at the Mrima Hill project. The rare earths resource estimates are considered speculative and therefore noncompliant with NI 43-101 reporting standards and should not be relied upon. The Company is not treating the rare earths resource estimates as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company has not undertaken any independent investigation of the rare earths resource estimates. The Company believes that these resource estimates provide a conceptual indication of the potential of mineral occurrences within the project and are relevant to ongoing exploration. The Company intends to confirm the resource estimates through drilling currently underway.
