Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SVT) ("Savant") is pleased to announce its
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Savant posted a
net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (the "Current Period") of
$235,578. Results were largely influenced by the receipt of a US$500,000 option
payment on the Company's Yuby Gabriela property in Chile, and the recognition of
a receivable of $303,000 from the Province of Quebec for refundable mining tax
credits generated from exploration funded by Savant in 2011. Savant ended the
Current Period with working capital of $945,762.


This release should be read in conjunction with Savant's unaudited condensed

The Company's Net Gain for the Current Period of $235,578 was a significant
improvement over the Net Loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (the
"Prior Period") of $1,253,167. The improved results in the Current Period were
largely influenced by receipt of a US$500,000 option payment on the Company's
Yuby Gabriela property in Chile, and the recognition of a receivable of $303,000
from the Province of Quebec for refundable mining tax credits generated from
exploration funded by Savant in 2011. The poor results in the Prior Period can
be attributed to Management's decision to drop the McWatters property in May
2012 resulting in a $1,019,355 write off of capitalized mineral property costs
(Current Period - $nil). 


Summary of Recent Events

Early in 2012, Savant's Board recognized that the downturn in the junior
resource market that began in 2011 was likely to continue through 2013 and took
significant steps to ensure Savant would survive a prolonged market correction.
The Quebec optioned properties, which had high carrying costs, were returned to
their owners. Overhead was reduced and project expenditures were trimmed to the
essential holding costs. As a result of the Board's action, Savant entered 2013
with a good capital structure, healthy working capital, and no debt.


Over the course of 2013, Savant's management reviewed and assessed over 40
projects and properties in North America with the objective of identifying a
region with low political risk, low entry cost, low exploration costs and the
capability of generating major new discoveries of large-tonnage, high-margin
mineral deposits. 


The outcome of this extensive search resulted in the launch of a copper
exploration and discovery strategy in the Southwest United States, an area that
contains some of the premier copper districts in the world. As a first step to
the strategy, rolled out by the company subsequent to the end of the Quarter,
Savant successfully negotiated three earn-in agreements (collectively referred
to as the "Agreements") with Bronco Creek Explorations Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Eurasian Minerals Inc., for three high-quality copper porphyry
properties, two located in Arizona and one located in Nevada. Under the terms of
the Agreements, Savant may earn up to a 100% interest in each of the Jasper
Canyon, Buckhorn and Frazier Creek properties, through a two stage earn-in over
a maximum 10 year period, subject to certain royalties retained by Bronco Creek.
The main terms of the Agreements are summarized in the Company's news release
dated October 30, 2013. A summary of the properties and an updated corporate
presentation are provided at Savant's website www.savantexplorations.com. The
first year work commitments and cash payments required for all three properties
is less than $250,000 and will be easily funded from Savant's current working
capital. This acquisition represents the first step in Savant building a
portfolio of high-quality properties in one of the world's premier porphyry
copper regions.
