Caracara Silver Inc. Outlines High Grading Zinc Mineralization at Marcia Project, Peru

Caracara Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CSV) ("Caracara" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce preliminary results from its reconnaissance exploration program from
its Marcia concession, part of the larger Princesa-Pilunani project located 850
kilometres south-east of Lima, in Peru. 


The 2011 field program included regional and property scale geological mapping,
channel sampling and more than 65 line kilometres of induced polarization ("IP")
surveys over Caracara's Princesa project and on four other key target areas
across the Company's large 24,600 hectare land holdings.


Marcia Project

Marcia is located approximately 18 kilometres southeast of the Princesa project
and has been the site of small scale mining in the past. Historic records show
production of 14,320 tons grading 54.8 oz silver per ton and 30% lead by Banco
Minero in the early 1970s. 


Caracara's exploration work consisting of mapping, trenching and IP surveys has
identified zinc and lead mineralization in two discrete mineralized areas known
as Marcia 1 and Marcia 2.


At Marcia 1, the site of the historic small scale mining, mineralization
consisting of galena and secondary zinc minerals is stratabound and has been
remobilized by faulting. Alteration minerals include limonite, jarosite, iron,
manganese and barite. Channel samples returned the following values.




                                                                Sample Width
Channel                             Zinc %           Lead %         (metres)
C-1                                  16.36             2.39             1.05
C-2                                  14.08             3.03              1.4
C-3                                  22.21             2.29              1.7
C-4                                  12.40             3.00              1.8



Trench T-1, exposed continuous mineralization across 16 m grading 3.78% Zinc and
1.01% lead while Trench T-4 located 120 metres south of T-1 assayed 2.14% zinc
and 0.5% lead across 11.9 metres.


Marcia 1 has been mapped and sampled across 150 metres of strike and is up to 16
metres in width. 


New Discovery at Marcia 2

The Marcia 2 showing is a new discovery located 600 metres northeast of Marcia
1. Marcia 2 consists of a series of sub parallel mineralized structures mapped
along strike for 350 metres which include disseminations and veins of galena and
sphalerite within sub volcanic andesite intrusive and sedimentary breccias.


Very limited sampling has returned high grades of zinc and lead including 15.82%
zinc and 23.8% lead across 1 metre in Trench T-8 and 2.72% zinc and 2.49% lead
across 4 metres in Trench T-5.


Preliminary geophysical IP profiles suggest that Marcia 1 and Marcia 2 may be
surface expressions of a larger buried mineralized target.


Princesa Project

At the Princesa project, Caracara geologists have relogged core and developed a
new interpretation of the Princesa mineralized structure. Work has also included
completion of 29 line kilometres of IP survey across the property.


Although preliminary, the IP work has identified a strong zone of high
chargeability which extends 600 metres to the southeast of the interpreted
position of the main Princesa structure. This extension area is covered by
Quaternary deposits and will be drilled in 2012.


Caracara's projects are divided into three work areas known as Princesa,
Pilunani and Potoni and total 24,600 hectares of land in 34 concessions. The map
below outlines the three concession working areas.


Quality Control and Quality Assurance Program

All samples have been assayed by CIMM PERU, an association between the Mining
and Metallurgical Research Center (CIMM) of Chile and Certifications of Peru
(CERPER). Both companies have more than 35 years of experience in the market.
CIMM is certified ISO 9001:2008 


Field samples consisting of 3-5 kg of broken rocks are dried, crushed to 90%
passing through a 1.70 mm screen and a 250 split is pulverized to 85% passing
though a-75 microns mesh. Assays are done for 35 elements via multi acid
digestion ICP OES. Gold, Silver, Lead and Zinc are automatically re-analyzed
once the original results are over the limit of detection by gravimetric for Au
and multi acid AAS for Ag, Zn and Pb.


The Quality Control and Quality Assurance program includes the insertion of 2
standards, 2 blanks and one duplicate in every batch of 25 samples.


Community Relations

Caracara has implemented a community relations program and maintains excellent
relations with all the communities in its operating area. The Company concluded
working agreements for its 2011 exploration program with each community in its
operating areas and does not expect any major problems in extending these
agreements in 2012.
