Castle is also pleased to announce that drilling is underway at its Elmtree Gold Project near Bathurst, N.B. The 2,000 metre Phase II program will focus on the unexplored portions of the South Gold Zone and Discovery Zone to test for deeper intersections surrounding known mineralization. At least one hole will also test a prospective target on the newly optioned Murphy Claims, which are contiguous to the east of the Elmtree Gold Project (see Sept. 15, 2009 press release).

Castle's Phase 1 program from August and September of this year was focused on the high-grade West Gabbro Zone where 3000 metres were drilled to test the strike and depth around known mineralization; samples are currently being assayed and analysis of results is underway. Management plans to conduct a preliminary economic assessment later this year of the high grade West Gabbro Zone.
