Duncastle Commences Ground Geological Program at Porphyry Creek

17/08/2010 5:24pm

Marketwired Canada


Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN)(FRANKFURT:5D3) reported today that it has
commenced ground based geological work at its Porphyry Creek project located 20
kilometers northwest of Smithers, in northwest British Columbia.


The work program continues the target selection and prospect evaluation process
started in 2008 and will focus on assessing newly identified geophysical
anomalies in preparation for an anticipated Fall 2010 drilling program. Ranex
Exploration Ltd has been retained to conduct the exploration program from its
Smithers office with oversight from Duncastle's corporate office at the Manex
Resource Group.


To complement the 2008 ground program on the west side of the property, the 2010
program will focus on priority geophysical targets on the east side of the
property which were generated from a recently completed airborne DIGHEM survey
(July 26, 2010 news release). Targets on the eastern side of the property and
are associated with two clusters of known copper/molybdenum +/- gold/silver
mineral occurrences including the Sultana, Big Thing, MT and Tina showings.
Geophysical responses from the survey may reflect differing host lithologies,
associated alteration assemblages and metal type and content between the
different occurrences within theses broader target areas.


Sultana, Big Thing and MT Prospects

The Sultana prospect is the most developed target on the property and will be
the focus of most of the work in this phase of exploration. Preliminary 2010
airborne results show a coincident 600m by 400m conductive (EM) and magnetic
response within a broader 1,400m by 900m anomaly. The geophysical anomalies are
spatially associated with historic trench (up to 7.5g/t Au, 2,057g/t Ag and 0.5%
Cu over 2.7 meters) and drill results (up to 1.03g/t Au, 638g/t Ag, and 9.06% Cu
over 0.6 meters), and also with circa 1969-70 sampling of altered intrusive by
Utah Mines Ltd (1) which identified a broad 500m x 500m Cu-Mo surface anomaly on
the property within fractured granodiorite mineralized with chalcopyrite.


The MT Showing located 2 kilometres to the south of the Sultana has a more muted
geophysical response but features high-grade historic rock grab samples (select)
including 5,187g/t Ag and 2.34% Cu in one sample, 23.0g/t Au, 1,817g/t Ag and
1.09% Cu in a second, and 5.1g/t Au, 2,846g/t Ag and 3.65% Cu in a third(1).


Tina West, Tina North and Porphyry East Targets

These geophysical targets are located near the Tina molybdenum showing and were
identified recently from the preliminary airborne survey. Tina West and Porphyry
East show conductive EM anomalies, strong magnetic response and positive
potassic anomalies in the radiometric component of the survey. Tina North shows
a magnetic anomaly.


Other targets which were identified in the 2010 geophysical survey and are
currently interpreted as distal, high-grade polymetallic veins include the
Brunswick Mine and the Brian Boru prospect.


Brunswick Mine

The area of the historic Brunswick Mine features co-incident geophysical
anomalies including a strong EM response (conductive high) in preliminary data.
Dump and talus samples returned 2,566g/t Ag, 11.1% Pb and 19.4% Zn in one sample
and 1,131g/t Ag, 4.9% Pb and 4.1% Zn in a second from the Brunswick Adit area in
the 2008 geological program. In addition, stream sediment sampling in the area
returned anomalous copper and silver values in the 2008 program.


Brian Boru prospect

The Brian Boru prospect area shows a strong conductive high (EM anomaly)
co-incident with highly mineralized samples from the 2008 program (152g/t Ag and
22% Zn from a massive sulphide boulder), and anomalous copper and silver values
in stream sediment sampling, also from the 2008 program.


(1) Historical results are compiled from government databases and predate NI
43-101. Duncastle has not independently verified past exploration results.


The Porphyry Creek project consists of over 118 sq km of mineral claims with
historic workings and numerous high-grade gold, silver and polymetallic showings
around a distinct 10 kilometer long magnetic high with coincident copper, lead
and zinc geochemical anomalies shown in government data. Data compilation and
modeling by Duncastle has demonstrated mineral zonation on the property
consistent with porphyry style deposits. There are over 20 porphyry discoveries
within a 350km radius of the project, including Berg, Bell, Huckleberry, Mt
Milligan, and Galore Creek among others, plus other deposit types (eg Eskay
Creek).


Duncastle Gold Corp. is a Vancouver based gold exploration company with mineral
claims covering or surrounding past producing mines in two historic BC
districts. In Southeast BC Duncastle holds a claim block with a focus on the
high-grade gold-silver-lead-zinc veins at the former Yankee-Dundee mine, 50 km
from the smelter at Trail, BC. In Northwest BC Duncastle's project covers a 10
km long magnetic anomaly, previous workings, and high-grade precious metal veins
on its Porphyry Creek claims. Duncastle has assembled contiguous claim blocks
totaling more than 170 sq km in these two productive regions.


As part of the Manex Resource Group, Duncastle benefits from shared expertise in
corporate finance, public company administration, investor relations, and the
technical and geological services provided for the eight public companies active
in North America. Since its formation in 1997, the Manex Group companies have
raised over C$250 million in exploration financing.

technical results in this release.
