Cadillac Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CDC) (OTCBB:CADIF)("Cadillac" or the
"Company") announces that it has received an updated, independently produced,
Resource Statement for its Burnt Hill Tungsten, Molybdenum, and Tin project
located in central New Brunswick. The Burnt Hill project contains a total of
1,761,000 indicated tonnes of 0.292% WO3, 0.007% MoS2, and 0.008% SnO2, as well
as 1,520,000 inferred tonnes of 0.263% WO3, 0.008% MoS2 and 0.005% SnO2 using a
cut-off grade of 0.07% WO3 in open pit and 0.16% WO3 in underground mining. This
represents an increase of 282% in the Indicated category and 158% in the
Inferred category over the last calculated resource as announced by the Company
on August 18, 2009, incorporating several successful field campaigns between
2009 and the completion of the 2012 drilling program. In addition tungsten
prices are significantly higher today than in 2009 (approximately $470 mtu today
opposed to approximately $230 mtu in 2009).

Southampton Associates Inc. Resource Statement                              

1.  Potentially mineable Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do
    not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral
    resources may be materially affected by environmental permitting, legal,
    title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. 
2.  The quantity and grade of reported potentially mineable Inferred
    resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been
    insufficient exploration to define them as an Indicated or Measured
    potentially mineable mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
    exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured
    potentially mineable mineral resource category. 
3.  The potentially mineable Mineral resources in this press release were
    estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
    Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves,
    Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on
    Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.

Mr. Norman Brewster, President and CEO of Cadillac Ventures stated "I am very
pleased with the updated resource calculation for Burnt Hill which demonstrates
the success of our exploration programs at Burnt Hill to date. We look forward
to continuing to expand the Burnt Hill story as we move towards underground
exploration and development at the Burnt Hill mine site and continue to push the
exploration envelope around the mine site outward, building upon our successes."


Cadillac used the model of the property underlying the resource statement, along
with airborne and surface data generated through several mapping and prospecting
campaigns previously undertaken on the Burnt Hill Property to interpret the
geological setting on a property wide basis, expanding the area of interest
outward from the Burnt Hill Mine. This has resulted in the recognition of the
geological setting for the Burnt Hill Mine as a major structural deformation
zone that is up to 1.2 km wide, traced along strike by geophysics for
approximately 5 km. 


Summer 2013 Exploration

This deformation zone is the area which Cadillac is focused on during an initial
ground proofing prospecting campaign at Burnt Hill planned for summer 2013, this
campaign has commenced with initial investigation in the "Target A" area by
crews on foot prospecting, stripping and trenching to obtain hand and channel
samples. Cadillac is of the view that this basic exploration approach,
successful at Burnt Hill to date, is a cost effective way of verifying the
structural interpretation management has adopted and to identify targets for
drilling during a future work program.

The Burnt Hill Mine is indicated by the crossed picks in the Target "A" area
above. This map depicts Target areas A, B and C on the property and the
interpreted displacement of these zones due to faulting. 


Each of these target areas will be investigated during Summer 2013. To date
areas within each of these zones have been cleared and mechanically trenched,
washed and channel sampled, in addition to hand sampling of various outcrops
located during prospecting. The results of the channel and hand sampling will be
released once available.


Block Model and Resource Estimate Parameters:

The block model and resource estimate was prepared by Southampton Associates
Inc. ("Southampton") under the direction of David G. Wahl, P.Eng, P.Geo, ICD.D
and Phillip Burt, P.Geo., Senior Resource Associate. 


Following the review of the available data on the property and given the
structural controls which exist at the mine, Southampton selected a narrow vein
underground model for the study. 


The following parameters were used for the block model and resource estimates.

Once the block model was set up, it was rotated to match the principal vein and
search radius directions. This entailed a rotation of the x-axis to trend 302
degrees, a subsequent rotation of the y-axis to 032 degrees and a rotation of
the z-axis so that it had a 60 degrees plunge to 032 degrees.


Each block was given 16 different empty attributes:

An inverse distance squared (1/d2) algorithm was used in the estimation and was
carried out in two passes using a search ellipsoid. The first pass filled the
various attributes for the "Indicated" category while the second pass filled the
"Inferred" attributes. Search parameters used in the estimation is as below.
Note that the axis length for the "Indicated " category is 70m rather than the
60m used in the technical report with respect to the previous resource estimate
entitled "Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the Burnt Hill Deposit, York
County, New Brunswick, Canada" dated September 9, 2009 prepared by P&E Mining
Consultants Inc.  This was deemed to be necessary since, while the nominal grid
spacing is 60m, many of the drill holes were 60 to 70 m apart.

Each of the 25 zones were estimated independently by constraining the sample
points and blocks to be estimated within each zone. This prevents nearby sample
points in another zone from affecting blocks within the zone.


Subsequent to running the block model, sections were inspected visually to
identify any possible errors or oversights.

Resource Categories

Southampton has classified the resources into "Inferred" and "Indicated"
resources as per the "CIM Definitions". In this case, "Indicated" refers to
those blocks that were estimated by a minimum of 4 samples, one of which must be
from a different drill hole, within a 70m radius. The "Inferred category" were
those blocks that were estimated by at least 4 samples within 250m of the block.
The final resource estimate was determined by averaging volume-weighted block
grades (from the partial percentage calculation) above specific cut-off grades
within the digitized zones.
