Marketwired Canada
Castillian Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CT)(OTCQX:CTIIF) ("Castillian" or the
"Company") has completed 3,833 meters of drilling in 12 holes at four of the six
major target areas of the 6,000 metre diamond drilling program at its Hope Brook
Gold Project in southwestern Newfoundland.
Highlights from recent drilling include:
Unmined Stope Potential
-- Hole HB 12-091: 2.14 grams gold per tonne (g Au/t) and 0.45% copper (Cu)
over 29.6m core length; including 5.24 g Au/t and 1.47% Cu over 4.3m
core length
-- Hole HB12-094: 1.90 g Au/t and 0.12% Cu over 39.1m core length;
including 3.95 g Au/t over 12.50m core length
Mine Zone to 240 Connector Target
-- Hole HB 12-093: 0.64 g Au/t over 16.5m core length; including 1.66 g
Au/t over 2.40m core length
-- Hole HB 12-092: 0.52 g Au/t over 10.6m core length within a 22.5 metre
wide mineralized silicified zone.
Drilling has progressed rapidly with four rigs now operating along a
3.4-kilometre long mineralized trend between the past-producing Hope Brook Mine
southwest to the Chetwynd South Prospect (see press release dated November 5,
2012). All twelve drill holes completed to date have intersected the silicified
mineralized zones as targeted from our geological and geophysical data.
Currently holes are in progress on the Chetwynd, Connector Zone and NW target
areas. Figure 1 shows the locations of the target areas and drill hole pierce
points. Table 1 lists significant assay results. Assays have been received for
the first four drill holes completed (HB12-091 to -094).
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Castillian, commented: "We are on
schedule to complete the planned 6,000m drill program before Christmas. This
program is designed to open up major new target areas for future resource
definition. I am very encouraged by the results to date. We have confirmed that
the major silicified mineralized zones extend for at least 3.4km along strike
and are open along strike and downdip. Drilling in progress is focussing on
identifying areas with higher grade gold within these extensive alteration zones
particularly in the Connector zone."
Unmined Stope Potential (4960-150 level Stope)
Two drill holes tested the potential for unmined ore remaining in the 4960-150
stope at the south west end of the former Hope Brook Mine. Hole HB12-091 and
Hole HB12-094 (which was positioned to test the eastern end of the stope)
intersected pyrite- and chalcopyrite-bearing, vuggy, buff and grey siliceous
alteration over 76.4m and 54.1m respectively. This drilling confirms that the
4960-level stope was only partially blasted and remains in place, and is
expected to add to the current mineral resource.
Hole HB12-091 intersected an altered zone containing chalcopyrite that graded
2.14 g Au/t and 0.45% Cu over 29.6m (13.4m true width) including 5.24 g Au/t and
1.47% Cu over 4.3m (2.0m true width). No zones of excessive broken core or zones
of lost core were encountered during drilling suggesting that this portion of
the former stope remains intact.
Hole HB12-094, a zone of chalcopyrite (1-2%) and bornite-bearing siliceous
altered material assayed 1.90 g Au/t and 0.12% Cu over 39.10m (16.5m true width)
including 3.95 g Au/t and 0.07% Cu over 12.50m (5.3m true width). The drill hole
intersected small void spaces and blocky, locally oxidized rock, with
approximately 20% lost core between 180.9m and 220.0m. The recovered core shows
no sign of displacement or rotation hence this portion of the stope was likely
fractured, but not blasted and mined.
Mine Zone to 240 Connector Target
The initial two drill holes, HB12-092 and 093 confirmed the continuity of the
gold mineralized zone within the northern part of the Mine Zone to 240 Connector
Target. These holes both intersected the mineralized zone approximately 200m
southwest of the resource constraining shell (cutoff grade of 0.5 g Au/t) that
outlines the current limit of potential open pittable resource at Hope Brook
(Figure 1).
Hole HB12-092 encountered a zone of pyrite-bearing siliceous altered rocks from
314.4 to 330.9m that assayed 0.64 g Au/t over 16.5m core length (12.6m true
thickness). Drill hole HB12-093 intersected a 22.5 metre core length of pyrite
and chalcopyrite-bearing, locally vuggy, grey and buff siliceous altered rocks
from 358.5 to 381.0m which included 0.52 g Au/t over 10.6m core length (7.0m
true width). Geophysical data indicates that the intensity of alteration and
mineralization likely increases further southwest to the 240 Zone-this area is
currently being drill tested.

SAMPLING, ASSAYING AND QUALITY CONTROL
The core (NQ (47.6 mm) and BQTK (40.54 mm)) is logged, photographed and then
sawn in half with one-half sent to the laboratory for analysis and the other
half retained and stored on site. All core samples were prepared and assayed at
ALS Minerals, with sample preparation done in Sudbury and analytical work done
in North Vancouver. All locations of ALS Minerals are ISO 9001:2000 certified.
The entire sample received is weighed and crushed to = 70% passing 2mm (10
mesh). A sample split of up to 1000g is then pulverized to = 85% passing 75
microns (200 mesh) to produce a homogenized sample. A 50g aliquot is used for
fire assaying with an atomic absorption (AA) finish to determine gold
concentration. Copper is initially analyzed using a four acid digestion ICP
(inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry) method. Any results
for copper greater than 10,000 ppm are assayed further by a four acid digestion
and "ore grade" ICP method. Internal quality control includes the use of blanks,
duplicates and standards in every batch of samples. The Company also conducts
internal check assaying using certified external reference standards and blanks.
Regular external check assays are performed at a second certified Canadian
commercial laboratory. Castillian also inserts external reference standards as
well as blank granite drill core in each sample batch as a further external
check.

applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information
includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding exploration prospects and
timing of future exploration. Generally, forward-looking information can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects"
or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates",
"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes",
or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or
results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved". Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of
activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including
but not limited to: general business, economic, competitive, political and
social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities;
future prices of mineral prices; failure of plant, equipment or processes to
operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and shortages and other risks
of the mining industry. Although the Company has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause

Information Concerning Estimates of Indicated and Inferred Resources
This news release uses the terms "indicated resources" and "inferred resources".
Castillian advises investors that although these terms are recognized and
required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will
ever be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, inferred resources have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for preliminary economic
assessments as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume
that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally
mineable.
