Duncastle Extends Historic Yankee-Dundee Project Mineralization; Hits 2.8 Metres Grading 5.2g/t Au, 122.3g/t Ag, 4.5% Pb and 13.

Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN)(FRANKFURT:5D3) reported today results
from three of five core holes drilled as part of its summer exploration program
on the Yankee-Dundee project. These initial three holes successfully targeted
high-grade extensions of the Yankee Girl structure and highlight the significant
precious- and base-metal potential of this polymetallic vein system located just
three kilometres northeast of Ymir, in southeast British Columbia.


Highlights from these holes include (reported as estimated true thickness):

- 2.8 metres grading 5.2g/t Au, 122.3g/t Ag, 4.5% Pb and 13.8% Zn contained
within a 17.2 metre interval grading 1.2g/t Au, 21.9g/t Ag and 2.4% Zn from hole
YD09-39, and


- 0.9 metres grading 12.2g/t Au, 71.6g/t Ag, 2.8% Pb and 3.1% Zn contained
within a 3.2 metre interval, grading 4.2g/t Au, 21.9g/t Ag, 0.9% Pb and 1.1% Zn
from hole YD09-40. Three additional intercepts including a 0.4 metre interval of
17.8g/t Au, 124g/t Ag, 3.4% Pb and 3.9% Zn occur in the hangingwall of the main
intercept.


Two additional drill holes tested the Goodenough vein system, located on a
separate east-west-trending mineralized structure about three kilometres north
of the Yankee-Girl veins. Results from these holes are pending. Total drilling
for the summer program equaled 1,149 metres.


Drill hole YD09-39 successfully tested the margin of the Yukon Shoot, a
precious-metal enriched lens of mineralization located to the west of the
historic Yankee Girl Mine workings, extending the known mineralized zone at the
"800" level (historical mine level reflecting depth in feet below surface) by
approximately twenty-five metres. Although not completely delineated, drilling
has now defined a 90 metre strike-length for the shoot and a down dip projection
of over 280 metres. Higher grade mineralization within the shoot, similar to
that reported from hole YD09-39, averages three metres thickness.


Drill hole YD09-40 successfully tested the 400 shoot, which is located 65 metres
to the west of the Yukon shoot in a previously un-drilled extension of the
Yankee Girl structure. Multiple precious- and base-metal intercepts were
intersected reflecting the presence of several previously unknown hangingwall
veins, the most significant being a 0.9 metre interval (est true thickness)
grading 12.2g/t Au, 71.6g/t Ag, 2.8% Pb and 3.1% Zn occurring approximately 70
metres up-section from the target Yankee Girl structure. Similar higher grade
veins are reported in historical references from earlier mining and exploring
and include the Bonus vein and hangingwall structures at the "1235", "1360", and
"1625" metre levels. Neither the full lateral extent of these hangingwall veins
nor potential continuity between these structures is well defined and provides
additional targets for future exploration on the property.


The Yankee Girl structure, as tested in drill hole YD09-40, is a broad
mineralized zone extending down hole from 197 metres to 210 metres and is
comprised of an upper gold-enriched interval which includes a 1.1 metre interval
grading 12.9g/t Au and 13.1g/t Ag and a silver and base-metal-enriched lower
interval grading 63.8g/t Ag and 4.1% Zn over a 1.1 metre interval. Continuity of
the Yankee Girl structure has now been demonstrated for over 65 metres to the
west of the previous drilling (at the Yukon shoot) and for over 240 metres to
the west of the historical mine workings. Potential mineralization between the
Yukon and 400 shoots has yet to be tested.


Duncastle Gold is currently planning an additional 1,620 metre fall surface
drill program to follow-up these and other targets both at the Yankee Girl vein
system and other prospects on the Yankee-Dundee property area.


Lawrence Page, CEO of Duncastle, said, "the current drill results continue to
add value to the former Yankee-Dundee mine and confirm our understanding of the
geology of the Yankee Girl structure and the surrounding area. Based upon three
dimensional modeling of historic drill intercepts and our current work we are
targeting and successfully intercepting mineralized extensions to the west of
the historically significant Yankee Girl mine and have identified significant
additional targets for the fall program."

About Duncastle Gold

Duncastle Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company based in British Columbia,
Canada with projects in both central and southeastern BC. The Yankee-Dundee
project comprises 26 crown grants under a 100% option agreement and 95 tenured
mineral claims totaling approximately 5,987 hectares in the Nelson Mining
District, located three kilometres northeast of the town of Ymir in southeastern
British Columbia. Gold mineralization was first reported near Ymir in the late
1800s, with much of the mining taking place at the Yankee Girl, Dundee and Ymir
mines during the period 1907 to 1951. Historical records indicate that a total
of 375,000 tonnes grading 9.9g/t Au and 57g/t Ag were mined from the Yankee Girl
vein during this time. Exploration by the company is targeting high-grade
Au-quartz veins throughout the Ymir district which historically, together with
the adjacent Sheep Creek district is reported to have produced more than one
million ounces of gold(1). The Ymir camp was the largest silver producer in the
British Commonwealth in the 1930s (BC MEMPR Bulliten 109, 2001). In central B.C.
the company has the 8,641 hectare Porphyry Creek property in the Rocher Deboule
Mountains near Smithers, with a porphyry or IOCG copper-gold target. Duncastle
Gold Corp is a Manex Resource Group company.
