CAP Castle Peak Mining Ltd

Castle Peak Mining Ltd. ("Castle Peak" or the "Company"), (TSX VENTURE:CAP) is
pleased to provide a corporate update and an update of our exploration
activities at the Akorade Project located in the southern Ashanti Belt, Ghana.


Highlights of this announcement:



--  Update regarding current status of discussions on the Apankrah Deposit;
    and additional targets identified on the Nkwanta prospecting license; 
    
--  High priority targets identified on structural splays along the
    Birimian-Tarkwaian structural corridor host to deposits such as Damang,
    Wassa and Akyem; 
    
--  Western POW targets adjacent to Birimian-Tarkwaian boundary defined by
   greater than 100ppb gold in soil contour; 2000m x 400m and 1800m x 500m.



Castle Peak is pleased to announce that over the past few months it has been in
discussions with various parties interested in the opportunity to the advance
the high-grade Apankrah Deposit. The company is diligently continuing these
discussions to find the right partner for the Apankrah Deposit. These
negotiations contemplate the potential unlocking of potential value of smaller
higher grade resources in hand with a continued progressive approach to
community relations and environmental activities initiated by the company. The
company cautions that there is no guarantee that these negotiations will result
in a transaction or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing.
Further updates will be provided to Castle Peak's shareholders as these
negotiations are further advanced.


Darren Lindsay, President and CEO of Castle Peak, commented:

"We are firmly committed to the potential of the high-grade Apankrah Shoot
resource and surrounding targets. We have also been compiling our expanding
dataset in the prolific southern Ashanti which has resulted in identifying a
handful of high potential and high priority targets in both our Apankrah Target
Area and in our 'North-East Structure' target corridor. Compilation work is
being completed on the 'North-East Corridor' before moving on to the
'North-South Structure' target corridor. Our current efforts are to identify
additional high grade targets around the known Apankrah resource, as well as,
identify targets on the larger structures nearby. Our next steps for these
substantial targets are to complete follow up auger sampling, target
prioritisation, and ultimately drill evaluation." 


The Apankrah Target Area

Two key structural trends have been identified with one minor trend on the
Nkwanta prospecting license ("PL"). Combined, these host five general target
areas with the main target area (Nkwanta-Main) hosting the Apankrah high grade
inferred mineral resource (Figure 1).


A north-south corridor defined by a magnetic anomaly is host to numerous known
and inferred ENE trending structures known to host gold mineralisation
(Apankrah, Scorpio, Nana). A limited induced polarisation survey in the area
characterised the Apankrah Shoot resource as having a coincident chargeability
and resistivity anomaly; an identical anomaly is observed in the data ENE along
the Nana structure. To the south of the Apankrah Shoot a strong resistive
anomaly occurs very similar to that of the Apankrah Shoot. There are four drill
ready targets within 700m of the Apankrah Shoot resource.


Coincident geochemical anomalies on the inferred and known structures provide
blue sky targets on the prospecting license. The Nkwanta-A target area is host
to a 1000m x 400m area returning greater than 30ppb gold in the multi-element
soil survey (values range from 43ppb to 86ppb gold); this is interpreted to be
the western extension of the Apankrah and Scorpio structural corridor
intersecting the granitoid-metavolcanic boundary, an area of high rock
competency contrast and therefore very high potential for gold deposition. The
Nkwanta-C target is also focussed on the granitoid boundary where its
intersection with the magnetic anomaly is projected to occur.


The Nkwanta-B target area is host to a large area of galamsay activity on a
structure parallel or sub-parallel to Apankrah and occurs where the magnetic
anomaly occurs within a larger geochemical anomaly, 1600m x 400m of greater than
30ppb Au (ranges from 15ppb to 877ppb gold in multi-element soil survey). 


The Nkwanta-D target occurs in a NW orientation along a geophysical inferred
structure that is coincident with a 1000m x 200m greater than 30ppb gold in
multi-element soil survey anomaly (range of 21ppb to 249 ppb gold).


North-East Structure target corridor

This corridor is comprised of the Enyinase, Great Yorkshire, Dompem prospecting
licenses and the western side of the POW prospecting license. To date
compilation has occurred on the Great Yorkshire and POW prospecting licenses and
is ongoing on the others.


Targets on the western side of the POW PL occur outside of the Forest Reserve;
approximately 80% of the PL hosts a geochemical anomaly of greater than 30ppb
gold from the multi-element soil sample survey (ranges from below detection
limit to 1405ppb gold). Targets were therefore developed using a greater than
100ppb gold contour which highlighted the Dansuom target (best drill hole 10.8m
of 2.8 g/t Au; see NR dated November 15, 2011) and a number of other anomalies,
two of which are considered high priority due to the inferred geological
complexity (Figure 2).


The POW-A target is a greater than 2000m x 400m gold in soil anomaly (range of
64ppb to 1405ppb gold) coincident with an inferred NW trending structure
off-setting a NE trending inferred thrust fault, associated with a nearby
inferred intrusive body. This target occurs within 3km of the Birimian-Tarkwaian
boundary structure ("B-T structure").


The POW-B target is focused on a geophysical based inferred structure that is
coincident with a 1800m x 500m greater than 100ppb gold in soil anomaly (range
of 108ppb to 521ppb gold).


On the Great Yorkshire PL, similar associations of faults defined by the
geophysical surveys are coincident with the geochemical anomalies obtained from
the multi element soil survey. The faults appear to be splays off of the main
B-T structure that are rooted where the main structure jogs or changes
orientation. Other anomalies also exist but are of lower priority at this time.


The Great Yorkshire-Main (GY-Main) and GY-A anomalies appear to be directly
associated with the B-T structure and closely associated with late time (deeper)
VTEM anomalies from an airborne survey completed in 2011 (NR dated May 30,
2011). GY-Main is an irregular anomaly with maximum length of 2200m and average
width of 500m as defined by the greater than 30ppb gold contour (range 21ppb to
555ppb gold) from the multi-element soil survey. This area is broken down into a
T1 or northern target and T2 a southern target based on the structural
interpretation of the area. GY-A is defined by a 700m x 700m gold in soil
anomaly (range 21ppb to 66ppb) that overlays a NNE trending late time VTEM
geophysical anomaly.


The GY-B target is similar to those of GY-Main but of lesser areal extent and
strength, 1800m x 400m (range 15ppb to 59ppb gold), and has the inferred
structure hosted in the metavolcanic sequence approximately 1000m south of the
B-T structure.


The GY-C target area is located on the inferred margin of a granitoid intrusion
that appears to have intruded near the confluence of the structures that bound
the Tarkwaian basin. It is a relatively small anomaly but is of interest due to
the geological associations. The anomaly is approximately 700m x 400m with soil
samples ranging from 43ppb gold to 80ppb gold.


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 exploration activities reported in the release were supervised by
Clive Arthur, Castle Peak's ex-VP Exploration. Soil sampling reported herein was
collected as approximately 2kg samples at roughly 1m depth at sites located
using handheld GPS. Castle Peak inserted control samples every tenth sample (one
of field duplicate, blank, low grade standard material). Samples were analyzed
for gold and an additional 32 elements by fire assay and ICP analytical
methodologies, respectively at ALS Chemex Laboratory in Kumasi, Ghana. The
Akorade Project represents early stage exploration properties which include a
mineral resource on the Apankrah Deposit with an effective date of June 1, 2013,
as described in the "NI 43-101 Technical Report on The Apankrah Project, Western
Region, Ghana" dated June 1, 2013, prepared by Simon Meadows Smith (IOM3) a
Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. A copy of the report is filed under
the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Castle Peak website. 


The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein relating to targets outside
the Apankrah Deposit are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient
exploration to define a mineral resource for those targets disclosed herein. It
is uncertain if further exploration will result in those 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
