SVT

Savant Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SVT) ("Savant") has commenced field
exploration programs on the Jasper Canyon, Buckhorn Creek and Frazier Creek
copper porphyry properties. A preliminary geological assessment was completed
during the winter to set up for more detailed programs that will be carried out
over the next couple of months. Planned work for the three properties will
include detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical
surveying to prioritize areas for drill testing. Summary information for the
three properties and additional information including maps and a corporate
presentation can be found at Savant's website at www.savantexplorations.com.


Southwest U.S. Exploration Summary

The Buckhorn Creek, Jasper Canyon, and Frazier Creek properties were recently
acquired under option from Eurasian Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: EMX) through its
wholly owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration. (see the Company's news
release dated October 30, 2013).


Buckhorn Creek 

The main target on the Buckhorn Creek property is defined by leach cap fragments
and exotic copper oxide in a basal conglomerate, which suggests there may be a
nearby enriched porphyry copper deposit concealed beneath down-faulted covering
volcanic rocks. The basement rocks adjacent to the capping volcanic rocks are
weakly-altered and contain widely-spaced, stringer-like, copper-mineralized
quartz veins suggesting a distal alteration to a potentially larger porphyry
copper system. An Induced Polarization (I.P.) survey will be used to assess the
potential for a mineralized porphyry deposit at depth.


Jasper Canyon

At Jasper Canyon, Savant is targeting either an enriched porphyry copper deposit
beneath shallow post mineralization cover rocks or a more deeply buried porphyry
copper deposit with high-grade primary sulphide (hypogene) along the same
regional structural trend that hosts the Pinto Valley and Copper Cities copper
deposits. A structural interpretation of the extensional fault regime suggests
that the fault-displaced upper portion of the Copper Cities deposit could lie to
the northeast in the area of the Jasper Canyon property. Additional evidence of
a possible porphyry deposit is the presence of a halo of copper and base metal
vein occurrences in the overlying rock units along the eastern margin of the
property, a common feature of copper deposits both in the Globe-Miami District
and elsewhere in the world. An initial CSAMT geophysical survey will be
conducted across the property to map the depth profile of the prospective
basement rocks and to design a suitable follow-up program. 


Frazier Creek

The Frazier Creek property covers intensely silicified and hydrothermally
dolomitized limestone over a 1.8 km x 0.8 km area where past surface exploration
identified widespread anomalous copper and molybdenum values. The highest copper
and molybdenum mineralization occurs within areas of intense silicification and
narrow sulphide-mineralized structures. Selected grab samples collected from
these structures contained values ranging from 1.1% Cu to 3.2% Cu. In a shallow
historical working, a grab sample containing 0.8% copper and 0.008% molybdenum
was collected from a sericitically-altered fine grained porphyry dyke, which in
conjunction with the presence of anomalous copper and molybdenum and intense
silicification and dolomitization, indicates that this large area may represent
the "lithocap" to a buried copper - molybdenum bearing porphyry deposit lying
within a few hundred metres of surface. Mount Hope, one of the largest and
highest grade molybdenum-copper deposits in the Americas, is located eight
kilometres to the south of the property. Detailed mapping will be completed to
better define this alteration zone and the main structural elements prior to
planning for an initial drill test.


Southwest U.S. Generative Work

A major part of Savant's new copper exploration strategy for the Southwest U.S.
is to identify new high-priority copper targets to advance Savant's growth
strategy in the region. Savant's management team has been working through the
extensive database of geological, structural, geochemical and historical
exploration work available for the Southwest U.S. copper belts. To date, this
generative work has identified more than 20 areas that will be the subject of a
more comprehensive review and field-based assessment over the coming months.


Technical Advisor Appointed 

The initial stages of the generative work advanced rapidly with the assistance
of Michael Casselman, a director of Savant until he passed away in January 2014,
and more recently by Myron Osatenko, who has agreed to join the Company as a
Technical Advisor to continue with the generation and assessment of new target
opportunities. 


Mr. Osatenko was a former Chief Geologist and Manager Latin America for Cominco
Ltd. (Teck Resources) who spent much of his 35 year career building his
expertise in copper project generation initiatives and resource expansion
projects. He had a leading role in more than doubling the size of the Prosperity
copper deposit and the Pebble Copper deposit. Mr. Osatenko was also a
co-discoverer of the Kwanika Cu-Au porphyry deposit in B.C. for which he was
co-awarded the prestigious Prospector of the Year for 2011 by AMEBC. Mr.
Osatenko has been granted options to purchase 100,000 common shares of the
Company at a price of $0.06 per share in accordance with the Company's stock
option plan and subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
