Prophecy Platinum Corporation has announced the final set of drill results received from its 2011 drilling at the company' 100% owned Wellgreen PGM Ni Cu Project. Borehole WS11-192 intercepted 384.9 meters of 0.45% NiEq starting from 9.45 meters depth. Included in this greater interval of continuous mineralization is a PGM rich zone with a combined Pt+Pd+Au grade of 1.358 grams per tonne over 19.23 meters (NiEq 0.74%). Detailed results for WS11-190 to WS11-192 are tabulated below: Assay Composite Results (in meters)

WS11-190 to WS11-192 were step out drill holes roughly 100 meters from the southern boundary of the resource outline, aiming at expanding resource and bridging the gap between Wellgreen Central East and Central West. Holes 190 and 192 were drilled to the east of WS11-188 (120.9 meters grading 1.26 g/t PGM+Au, 0.36% Ni, 0.30% Cu within 457 meters grading 0.47% NiEq) at 100 meter spacing. WS11-191 was drilled 200 meters west of WS11-188 and was abandoned at 89.9 meters due to bad ground conditions. Mineralization in WS11-192 occurs as variably disseminated sulphides hosted in peridotite, typical of much of the mineralization that occurs at Wellgreen, having an observed trend of increasing grade with continued stratigraphic depth. The mineralization reported here occurs just past casing depth all the way to the footwall contact of the Wellgreen intrusion, demonstrating a continuous swath of mineralization from just below overburden depth down to over 370 meters depth to surface. Holes 190 and 192 extend the known resource southward by approximately 100 meters at the top of the hole. These results mark the receipt of all assay results for the 2011 exploration drilling season on the Wellgreen property. WS11-188 and the surrounding holes demonstrated Wellgreen Central East and Central West to be one contiguous body, whereby good potential exists to significantly broaden the Central West resource base, currently contributing only roughly one quarter of the current 43-101 compliant resource at Wellgreen. Overall the program met with good success in expanding the resource to the east and south. The long drill intercepts suggest the deposit remains very much open in those directions. Update on PEA, Metallurgy, and 2012 drilling, the company reports that the preliminary Economic Assessment Study by Wardrop is proceeding on schedule with an anticipated release date in February 2012. Metallurgical tests by SGS have been ongoing since October, with results to be incorporated in the PEA. Prophecy is funded with the recent USD 10 million equity placement and is gearing up for a 2012 exploration and extensive definition drilling (underground and surface) program, with details to follow by year end
