Castle Peak Mining Ltd. ("Castle Peak" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:CAP) is
pleased to provide an update to its Target Generation exploration activities at
the Akorade Project located in the prolific Ashanti Gold Belt, Ghana. The
Company has received preliminary results from its ongoing systematic exploration
program, which includes: geophysical surveying, channel and chip sampling and
grab sampling. The results of an induced polarization ('IP') survey, completed
over the Apankrah and Nana targets, indicate a coincident north-northeast
('NNE') trending high chargeability and moderate resistivity anomaly in what has
been considered to be the secondary control orientation for the high grade
intercepts returned from our previous drilling; 2.8 metres ('m') of 17 grams per
tonne ('g/t') gold ('Au') and 2.2m of 24 g/t Au (NR January 2012, June 2011).
Signatures over known east-northeast ('ENE') target structures indicate
additional potential to the west on the Apankrah target and to the east on Nana
target. These results confirm proposed follow up drilling to be initiated later
this month, as well as, identify additional exploration targets. The inferred
Birimian-Tarwaian structural zone covered by the Enyinase and Great Yorkshire
concessions also received initial field work (refer to
http://www.castlepeakmining.com/i/pdf/Projects_updated.pdf for detailed project
map). 


The current geophysical program includes an approximate 32 kilometres ('km') of
IP surveys on a series of four target areas: Apankrah/Nana, Ayiem South, Ayiem
North and the Asuogya-Ayiem trend. The first three of which are completed
(approximately 22km), with preliminary results available for Apankrah/Nana. Both
the Apankrah and Nana targets exhibit anomalous signatures defining generally
ENE trending structures, approximately 300m and 500m in length respectively.
Both of these features are 'connected' by a strong chargeability, moderate
resistivity anomaly in a NNE orientation over 700m in length and open to the
north and south (see figure at
http://www.castlepeakmining.com/i/maps/Nkwanta-geophysical.pdf). A fourth
moderate ENE resistivity anomaly occurs approximately 500m north of the Nana
Target. A magnetics survey, approximately 65 km, is also scheduled to be
undertaken once the IP surveys are complete. 


President & CEO, Darren Lindsay states, "Our systematic approach to exploration
allows us to further understand this large underexplored land package, identify
new areas of potential mineralization, such as the Great Yorkshire concession,
and to reduce the drilling risk in our phase I drill programs. Additionally,
identifying which tools work best to refine productive targets should improve
our success rate and ultimately allow us to better identify and deliver the best
resource to the market."


A systematic program of channel or chip sampling of road cuts on all concessions
has returned 342 samples to date. The results range from detection limit (0.01
g/t Au) to 4.4 g/t Au, of which 201 samples (approximately 59%) returned above
our anomalous background of 0.03 g/t Au. Of interest are a series of thirty
samples located between the Nana and Apankrah targets returning greater than 0.1
g/t Au Additional work is required to determine if these samples are part of a
halo around a new ENE trending target structure or if they are reflecting the
presence of a NNE link or controlling structure. Additional channel and chip
sampling is being completed on the Nkwanta concession, prior to additional
samples being collected on the POW concession and expansion of the program to
other concessions.


Initial prospecting passes of sampling have been returned with values ranging
from detection limit to 6.6 g/t Au. A total of 192 prospecting or 'grab' samples
have been collected over the Great Yorkshire, Enyinase, Nkwanta and POW
concessions to date. A total of 51 samples returned above our anomalous cut off
(0.03 g/t Au), representing approximately 26% of the samples. Of note are: a
small cluster of anomalous samples including 0.26 g/t Au within our grid area
covering the interpreted Birimian-Tarwaian structural corridor on the Great
Yorkshire concession; samples of exposed veins adjacent to our drilled area at
the Dansuom target returning up to 2.5 g/t Au; and samples up to 6.5 g/t Au on
artisanal mining extensions to the Nana target. 


The Great Yorkshire concession has been an area of interest since acquiring the
reconnaissance license last fall. The concession is located on prospective
Birimian-Tarkwaian boundary which is a structural control for deposits currently
being mined by neighbouring companies. The magnetics survey will be expanded to
include a 2.5km x 2.0km grid, located in an area of inferred structural
complication on the Birimian-Tarkwaian structural corridor. Once established,
this grid will be used as a basis for soil sampling, mapping and additional
prospecting.


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'). The procedures include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards
and duplicates into the sample stream both in the field and 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

Gaudreault, P.Eng. and Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geol. of Geologica
Groupe-Conseil Inc., and in the NI 43-101 compliant technical report dated
