Duncastle Gold Corp. ("Duncastle") (TSX VENTURE: DUN)(FRANKFURT: 5D3) reported today that assay results from the first two of a six core hole, 2,583 meter drill program on its Porphyry Creek project, located 30 kilometers northwest of Smithers, BC, continue to outline thick and strongly anomalous intervals of copper and molybdenum mineralization, which was first identified in 2010 drilling. The 2011 drill program targeted the Sultana prospect which is one of five high priority targets identified on the 136 square kilometer Porphyry Creek property.

Holes PC11-04 and PC11-05 drilled to the west and south of the 2010 discovery holes and within an 800 meter by 1,200 meter area of coincident high conductivity and low magnetic susceptibility which forms the primary target at the Sultana prospect. The holes were drilled 220 meters apart and were cored for 616.7 meters and 588 meters respectively to test the eastern side of the target anomaly. Both holes intersected thick intervals of intrusive rock with variable amounts of quartz veining, and copper and molybdenum sulphides throughout the entire drilled intervals.

Drilling encountered several significant intervals of greater than 0.1% copper including:

--  a 51 meter interval averaging 0.11% copper and 0.021% molybdenum (0.22%
    CuEq) within an overall 611.7 meter interval averaging 0.07% copper and
    0.009% molybdenum (0.12% CuEq) from hole PC11-04; and
--  a 36 meter interval averaging 0.11% copper and 0.029% molybdenum (0.26%
    CuEq) within an overall 398.0 meter interval averaging 0.07% copper and
    0.008% molybdenum (0.11% CuEq) from hole PC11-05.

Both drill holes ended within 10 meters of strongly anomalous mineralization and demonstrate a greater continuity between mineralized intervals averaging greater than 500ppm copper and greater than 100ppm molybdenum when compared to Duncastle's previous drilling on the project (see NR-21-10, dated December 16, 2010).

These initial assay results clearly indicate a strengthening of the mineralizing system to the west and south of the 2010 drilling and at depth beneath the targeted geophysical anomaly. Drilling to date has covered an area of only 500 meters by 400 meters. Two overlimit assays are pending, as are results from the remaining four holes which tested areas both to the north and south of the present drilling.

President Michael Rowley said: "We continue to be impressed with the size of the mineralized system at Sultana, and look forward to receiving the remainder of assays in order to finalize our plans for continued drilling, likely to the south and west as grade appears to increase in these directions."

About the Porphyry Creek Project

There are over 20 porphyry discoveries in the region, including Berg, Bell, Huckleberry, Mt Milligan, and Galore Creek among others, plus other deposit types (eg Eskay Creek). The Porphyry Creek claim group includes 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 and Duncastle's work to date.
