Pacific Wildcat Resources Corp.

Closing of Acquisition

The completion of formal binding documentation for the Facility and the issuance of the Unsecured Notes will satisfy one of the conditions precedents to the closing of the acquisition of the indirect 70% interest in the Mrima Hill Niobium and Rare Earth project located in Kenya. The acquisition is scheduled to be completed on September 12, 2012, and although formal documentation of the Facility is at an advanced stage there can be no assurance that the Facility will be completed or closing of the acquisition will complete on this date.

Credit Facility

The Company has entered into a non-binding agreement with an arm's length party providing the Company with a non-revolving credit facility of an aggregate of Cdn$2.1 million which can be drawndown in tranches over a period of nine months. All amounts drawndown under the Facility bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum which will be capitalized and is payable in cash on the respective maturity dates. The proceeds of the Facility will be used for advancing work on the Mrima Hill Niobium and Rare Earth project in Kenya and for general working capital purposes.

Each drawdown under the Facility will mature on the earlier of 12 months from the date of the respective drawdown and the date that the Company completes the sale of assets at a deemed value of not less than Cdn$3 million.

The amounts drawndown under the Facility are convertible into units (the "Units") of the Company at the option of the lender, at any time prior to their respective maturity date at the greater of Cdn$0.11 per Unit and the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") on the date immediately preceding the date of the drawdown.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a purchase price equal to the greater of Cdn$0.11 per unit and the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the TSXV as of the date immediately preceding the date of issuance of such warrant, for a period of 12 months from the date of the respective drawdown.

The Company will pay to the lender a standby fee equal to 3% of the undrawn portion of the respective tranche to be drawn down by the Company on the applicable draw down date noted above which shall be payable in cash on such applicable drawdown date.

The Facility will be secured by a charge on the physical assets of Tantalum Mineracao e Prespeccao Limitada ("TMPL"), the Company's wholly-owned Mozambique subsidiary, and by a pledge of 100% of the shares in TMPL.

In connection with the Facility, the Company has agreed to pay to a finder at arm's length to the Company and the lender, a finder's fee on the date of each drawdown in cash equal to 10% of each respective amount drawdown, and will issue to the finder such number of finder's options which entitle the finder to purchase such number of common shares of the Company as is equal to 25% of the number of common shares that may be issued on conversion of each amount drawdown at an exercise price equal to the greater of Cdn$0.11 per share and the market price of the common shares of the Company on the TSXV as at the closing on the day immediately preceding the date of the drawdown, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the respective drawdown.

The Facility and the finder's fees are subject to the acceptance of the TSXV, the execution of definitive documentation and approval by the board of directors of the Company.

Unsecured Notes

In addition, the Company wishes to announce that it has also entered into unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate of Cdn$900,000 which have a term of six months and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

The Path Forward

At the Company's Special and General Meeting held on September 10, 2012, the Company's shareholders approved all matters submitted by management for their consideration including the creation of a control position in the Company for the owners of Stirling Capital Limited and Cortec (Pty) Ltd. This approval meets one of the Conditions Precedent to Closing the Acquisition.

The Company's aim is to complete formal binding documentation of the Facility with the aim of closing the Acquisition as soon as possible. The Company will provide further updates on the Closing when available.
