From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
Advisory Board member Dr. David I. Groves stated that the geophysical survey now allows us to better understand the geological controls on gold mineralization and use these in improved targeting; these advances include the geological interpretations and lineament/fault/shear zone interpretations from the recently completed aeromagnetic survey. "Definition of resistors could define zones of silicification as at Newmont's Ahafo deposit, and significant potential exists on anomalous east-north-east trending segments of the Birimian-Tarkwaian boundary, a location that hosts deposits such as Obuasi/Ashanti, Konongo and Akyem."
In addition, Castle Peak reports results from 11 more diamond drill holes completed on the Asuogya and Nkwanta concessions. Results from a 500m section of the 9,500m Asuogya-Ayiem trend have returned encouraging values from limited shallow testing of the AA Vein target; including 16.5m of 1.1 grams per ton ('g/t') gold ('Au') including 7.0m of 2.2 g/t Au from ASUDD008, 7.5m of 1.7 g/t Au from ASUDD007, and 13.0m of 1.0 g/t Au from ASUDD001 previously reported, July 18, 2011. The 8 additional holes on Nkwanta have returned encouraging values from limited shallow testing of the Nana target; including 3.0m of 1.95 g/t Au from NKDDH012.
These drill results represent the continuing initial target testing in the systematic evaluation of high priority targets within the Company's strategic land position hosting kilometer scale, untested soil and auger anomalies. The Phase I drill campaign started in late April, with a single core drill undertaking a 7,500m program on initial drill ready targets on Nkwanta, Asuogya-Ayiem, and POW (see figure 1 at http://www.castlepeakmining.com/i/pdf/Aug152011_NRa.pdf). A total of 29 holes have been completed to date; all 15 holes from Nkwanta have been reported including those in this release, and five of 14 holes from Asuogya-Ayiem have now been reported with more assays pending.
Asuogya-Ayiem
The Asuogya-Ayiem area is highlighted by a 9,500m x 1,000m soil anomaly defined by gold values greater than 30 parts per billion ('ppb'). Two initial target areas have been identified based on historical mapping, artisanal workings and preliminary geophysical results: the AA Veins target and the AA Central target both located on the central, western edge of the anomaly (see figure 2 at http://www.castlepeakmining.com/i/pdf/Aug152011_NRa.pdf).
AA Veins Target
A total of 12 holes have been completed to date with two holes abandoned due to ground conditions for a total of 2,503m (see figure 2 at http://www.castlepeakmining.com/i/pdf/Aug152011_NRa.pdf). The holes are testing a 500m portion of a large interpreted structural trend that is host to greater than 100m of meter-scale quartz vein blocks appearing to represent two separate parallel veins located approximately 15-20m apart. These veins and parallel shear structures have been the focus of continuous artisanal workings in the area. Highlights of the initial drill holes are presented in the following table. Please refer to the Projects section at www.castlepeakmining.com to view complete table of drill results.

Nkwanta
The Nkwanta area is highlighted by a 2,000m x 400m soil anomaly defined by gold values greater than 30 ppb. Two initial target areas defined by artisanal workings include the Apankrah and Nana structures which are east-north-east trending structures approximately 1000m apart in the northern portion of the soil anomaly.
Nana Target
A total of eight core holes have been completed for a total of 960m evaluating approximately 450m of strike and approx. 100m of elevation on 100m fences in an area of abundant historical artisanal workings. Highlights of the eight holes are presented in the following table. Please refer to the Projects section at www.castlepeakmining.com to view complete table of drill results.

Castle Peak is pleased to announce it plans to undertake a private placement of units, consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, to raise gross proceeds of $3 million to support further exploration at the Akorade Project. The price and terms of the private placement
will be determined in the context of the market.
Technical Disclosure
Castle Peak's technical disclosure in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Darren Lindsay, P.Geo., Castle Peak's President and CEO, who serves as a Qualified Person under the definition in National Instrument 43-101 ('NI 43-101'). Mr. Joe Amanor and Mr. John Coates of SEMS Exploration Services Ltd. in Accra, Ghana have reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release and serve as Qualified Persons for the Castle Peak exploration program. The quality assurance and quality control procedures are being established by Mr. Coates of SEMS Exploration Services. The procedures include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the sample stream either in the field or at the lab; samples are placed in sealed bags and are delivered to SGS Laboratory Services GH Ltd. in Tarkwa, Ghana, for routine gold analysis by 50g charge fire assay with atomic absorption finish. The Akorade project is an early stage exploration project and does not contain any mineral resources as defined by NI 43-101. The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource for the targets disclosed herein. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource. Further information is available in the NI 43-101 compliant technical report dated February 14, 2011 and entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Evaluation Report on Nkwanta & Ayiem Concessions, Wassa-West District, Republic of Ghana, West Africa", a copy of which is filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
