Jack McClintock President and CEO of Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SVT)
("Savant" or the "Company") provides the following review of 2011 and the
outlook for 2012. 


Quebec Projects

The 2011 drilling program on the McWatters Property discovered the G Zone
believed to be the western extension of the McWatters Mine Vein system (6.15gpt
gold over 6.5 metres). There is no recorded drilling along the projected western
extension and the G Zone vein is open in all directions. Historical resources
were confirmed to be open to depth and a new vein was discovered at depth at the
702 Zone now referred to as the JKL Extension. A follow up program of
approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is recommended for 2012 to test the
extent of the G Zone and to further test at depth the 702, JKL and JKL Extension
zones. Management must now decide how to proceed with advancing the McWatters
Property while protecting the resources it has available to them. Current
capital markets may not permit Savant to raise funds on favorable terms in the
short term so management must consider the alternatives, including optioning or
forming joint ventures, if it wishes to proceed with exploration at this time. 


Drilling in 2011 on Parbec centred on evaluating the near surface, low-grade
gold mineralization highlighted by the 2010 drilling program. Although results
were modestly encouraging, after assessment of the results and a review of the
remaining drill targets, Management has determined that continuing with the
option is not warranted and will terminate the option prior to its next
anniversary date on January 4, 2012. 


Yuby Gabriela Property, Chile

Minera Fuego, a private Chilean company, optioned the Yuby Gabriela Property in
May 2011. Under the terms of the option, Minera Fuego can earn a 100% interest
in the property by making US$4.03 million in payments over a 48 month period.
Savant will retain a 2.5% NSR of which, Minera Fuego can acquire 1.0% for US$5.0
million. To date, Savant has received US$280,000 in option payments. Since
optioning the property, Minera Fuego has carried out geophysical and geological
surveys and is planning to drill the property in early 2012. The next option
payment of US$250,000 is due at the end of April 2012.


Blue Moon Property, California

The Company continues to look for a partner for this advanced staged
polymetallic project located in the Mother Load District of California. 


Yava Property, Nunavut

Management continues to look for a partner to undertake a full evaluation of the
project.

Savant has recently strengthened its Management Team with the addition of Mr.
Reginald Advocaat to the Board of Directors and Ms. Katherine Gallagher as
Manager of Investor Relations and Administration. 


Mr. Advocaat has 29 years of experience in the junior mining sector initially as
a broker and then as Head Trader with Pacific International Securities Inc. with

exercisable for a five year term. Approximately $1,000 of her salary each month

Outlook for 2012

Savant will continue to focus its exploration efforts on the McWatters gold
property in Quebec. Work on its non-core assets will be limited to maintaining
them in good standing and looking for partners or buyers for these projects.
Management is also aggressively looking for new projects which fall within the
Company's exploration criteria and financial resources.
