Vatic Ventures Corp. Receives TSX-V Approval for its La Silla West Acquisition

Vancouver, BC, December 13., 2011 - Vatic Ventures Corp (TSX-V: VCV and Frankfurt: V8V) is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the TSX-Venture Exchange for its La Silla West acquisition in Mexico.

The company has signed a Definitive Agreement with KJ Gold Canada Ltd. and its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, whereby the company has acquired the right to earn an undivided 100-per-cent interest in and to certain mineral claims located in Sinaloa, Mexico. The claims are called the La Silla West claims.

The property is located some 65 km north of Mazatlan in the State of Sinaloa and encompasses about 29,000 hectares. It is part of the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt, which hosts numerous world class gold and silver deposits such as the San Dimas Mine of Primero Gold, some 75 km to the east, and the Cienega mine of Fresnillo, some 115 km to the northeast.

Multiple low sulphidation epithermal veins and stockworks of significant width and strike length have been identified within ryholite tuffs and andecite dacites. Some parts of these structures have been historically mined on a small scale.

The infrastructure of the property is excellent. A paved highway passes the property on its western border and a power line crosses the property in the western part. The Piaxtla River runs just to the north of the property.

The consideration, payable by the Company under the Option Agreement includes:

- The non-refundable sum of $15,000 which was paid upon execution of the Option Agreement;

- 1,000,000 common shares of Vatic and cash of $75,000 on Closing;

- 1,000,000 common shares of Vatic and cash of $75,000 on or before each of the one, two, three and four year anniversaries of Closing; and

- The Sellers retain a 2% net smelter royalty on commercial production from the mineral claims.
