TUF Honey Badger Silver Inc

Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TUF) ("Honey Badger" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that the 2011 exploration program identified
favorable geology with associated anomalous soil assays of gold, potassium and
arsenic on the Radisson property. These results have prompted the Company to
move forward with a 2012 drill program.


The combined soil and rock sampling program and geological interpretation
indicate that the Radisson property is highly favorable for hosting several
types of gold deposits, including:




1.  gold-bearing shear zones, 
2.  mineralized banded and folded iron formations, 
3.  and strongly altered and mineralized potassium-altered intrusions. 



Anomalous soil and rock samples associated with the above geologic formations
have resulted in the identification and prioritization of 18 gold targets on
Radisson. In addition, there is a distinct population with less than about five
percent aluminum. For this low aluminum subset of soil data, there is a strong
correlation between Gold and Arsenic, which indicates most likely that these
samples are very quartz-rich and thus related to the quartz - vein system with
obvious high gold potential.


The Radisson gold property is located within the James Bay Mining District of
Northern Quebec, 550 km north of Matagami. The underexplored 20,340-hectare gold
property lies within the Eleonore/Eau Claire Gold District and covers over 25
kilometers of favorable gold-bearing corridors hosting multiple gold
occurrences. The property is located within an Archean-aged volcanic-sedimentary
system and is 10 kilometers west of the LG2 highway and is accessible by a
logging road.


Honey Badger 2011 Exploration Program

The soil sampling and prospecting program conducted during July and August 2011
in the eastern portion of the property has identified several highly prospective
gold-rich targets with up to 8.64 grams per tonne gold. Other gold tracer
elements were identified, including 31.6 percent copper in grab samples, and
highly elevated arsenic values. In total, there are over eighteen prospective
gold targets identified on the property. 


The Company prioritized 7 of the most prospective gold targets for drill testing
during March 2012. The remaining targets will be further evaluated by additional
prospecting and trenching during the summer field season and will be ranked by
priority for future drilling.


Quentin Yarie, Senior VP of Honey Badger stated, "The results of the soil
sampling program and the recent structural interpretation on the Radisson
property are extremely encouraging as they highlight areas of very anomalous
gold combined with other pathfinder elements. This underexplored property,
located in an emerging Gold Camp, has key elements for the discovery of
significant deposits. Our exploration team is actively working at preparing the
March 2012 drill program."


Results of Soil and Rock Sampling Program - Geological Significance. 

The eastern half of the Radisson property has been interpreted to be a complexly
folded and sheared area very prospective for gold mineralization. The results
indicate that 374 of the soil samples are anomalous in gold, with 38 of those
samples returning values between 0.1 gram per ton and 1.19 grams per ton gold.
These elevated gold values are extensive and coincident with the interpreted
gold bearing structures. Some of the targets are also associated with other
anomalous gold tracer elements such as elevated copper, potassium and high
arsenic values (up to 2660 ppm).

Statistical analysis of the soil and rock data by Honey Badger's consultant, Dr.
James Franklin, indicates that the potassic alteration seems to be significant
in some sectors. The barium enrichment associated with it is a typical feature
of the subset of Archean gold deposits with a porphyry-like association, such as
at Hemlo. The gold mineralization present at Goldcorp's Roberto gold deposit is
also associated with potassic alteration, metasomatic replacement zones, and
tourmaline. 


Historical Soil Sampling Program

The soil sampling program was conducted to expand upon the work performed by
Eastmain Resources, from whom Honey Badger has optioned the project. The survey
originally conducted by Eastmain Resources over the western part of the property
has highlighted more than eight gold exploration targets that have not been
followed up with drilling.


About The Radisson Property 

"We are encouraged with the exploration results outlined by Honey Badger on the
Radisson Project. James Bay, Quebec is soon to become one of Canada's newest
mining districts with Goldcorp's low-cost, long life Eleonore gold project
reaching production in late 2014. The Radisson project is characterized by the
same regional geology and associated major structures found throughout each of
the mining camps in the Shield. It is simply a matter of sustained exploration
effort and drilling which will lead to additional discoveries in this region",
stated Dr. Robinson, President of Eastmain Resources Inc.




--  The Radisson Property is a district scale property with promising and
    widespread gold, copper and silver values. It is a gold property in the
    heart of an emerging world class Gold Camp, with excellent
    infrastructure (paved road, power corridor). This Gold Camp includes
    Goldcorp's Roberto Deposit (3.15 million ounces of measured and
    indicated gold resources at an average grade of 11.92 grams per tonne
    and 6.25 million ounces of inferred gold resources at an average grade
    of 12.93 grams per ton, and Eastmain's Eau Claire/Clearwater Deposit
    (1.67 million ounces gold). 

--  A gold-bearing trend of over eight km was identified on the Radisson by
    Noranda in 1992-93, with historic channel samples ranging from 5.5 to
    9.8 grams per ton gold. Other parallel trends have been identified by
    Honey Badger over a strike-length of more than 20 kilometers. 

--  The Discovery Lake discovery is encompassed within the Radisson property
    (currently held by Amesco). This polymetallic deposit contains gold,
    silver, copper lead and zinc mineralization, including high-grade values
    of 340 grams per ton silver. The discovery zone appears to be situated
    near the basalt/metasediment contact (same setting as Goldcorp's
    Eleonore/Roberto deposit) that extends onto the Radisson property for
    multiple kilometers to both the east and west.
