Castle Gold Replicates Historic Drilling at Its La Fortuna Gold-Silver-Copper Project, Mexico

CASTLE GOLD CORPORATION (Castle Gold, the Company) (TSX VENTURE:CSG) is pleased to announce the results from the company's recent drill program at the La Fortuna project located in Durango, Mexico. According to the Company's independent Qualified Person, the results from the 6 diamond drill holes, positioned to twin historical drill holes, correlated very well with the results from the previous exploration work completed at the site. Consequently, the validity of the historic data base has been confirmed as an adequate representation of the potential mineral resources contained within the deposit. On this basis, the Company is in the process of recalculating the historic mineral resources to National Instrument 43-101 standards. The twin hole drilling program follows recommendations made in a March 2007 Technical Report recommending such drilling to verify the historic data base. The historic database includes 121 diamond drill holes for a total length of 18,900 metres and eight levels of near horizontal underground development for a total of approximately 2,000 metres with each level separated by approximately 20 to 30 metres of vertical relief and five levels accessible by adits.

Darren Koningen, Vice President Mine Development at Castle Gold commented on the results from the recent drilling program stating: "It appears that the results from these holes which were positioned to test different areas and grades of the known mineralization, demonstrate the integrity of the historic exploration work completed at the La Fortuna project. In addition to the information obtained from the twin hole drilling program, we are advancing metallurgical testwork to evaluate methods in which the gold, silver and copper can be recovered. Having confirmed the historic data, we expect to publish an updated mineral resource conforming to NI 43-101 standards in the coming weeks. Based on this work the Company will have the ability to plan activities for the future development of this project. These would include additional drilling for resource expansion, metallurgical testwork and possibly advancing scoping studies on different scenarios for mine development."

A number of attractive intersections were replicated from this 2008 twin hole drill program. These include:

- Drill Hole LF28-08 which intersected 21.2 metres grading 5.59 grams per tonne gold;

- Drill Hole LF30-08 which intersected 42.3 metres grading 3.76 grams per tonne gold; and

- Drill Hole LF61-08 which intersected 31.2 metres grading 5.52 grams per tonne gold.

The results from the diamond drill hole twinning campaign correlate very well with the historical drilling results. Within the 6 recent twin holes, 180.6 meters of ore intercepts were identified versus a corresponding 181.8m of intercepts from the historical holes (variation of 0.7%). When the average gold grades are compared the twin holes averaged 3.58 g/t compared to 3.29 g/t in the original holes. This represents an increase of 8.8%. Given the abundance of visible gold in the mineralization observed at La Fortuna, these variations represent a very good correlation. Refer to Table 1: Comparison of Results - Historic and Twin Hole Drilling 2008 - La Fortuna Project, Durango, Mexico and Figure 1. Drill Hole Location Map - La Fortuna Project, Durango, Mexico, presented below.

It should be noted that within some intercepts there were large variances in both metres and/or gold grade. Most of the large variances in the intercept lengths were within relatively short intervals of mineralisation with the larger length intervals being much closer on a percentage basis. Most of the larger grade variations can be attributed to the nugget effect nature of the gold mineralization.

IGNIA Fund I Invests US$2 Million in Innovative Affordable Housing Development in Mexico - Zibb.com

IGNIA Fund I, LP announced today that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary IGNIA Bienes Raices S. de R.L. de C.V., it has entered into its first real estate transaction, an investment of US$2 million in the second stage of Jardines del Grijalva, a housing project in Chiapas, Mexico, enabling the expansion of the development to include affordable housing. As a result, Jardines del Grijalva will offer over 800 additional homes for families earning less than US$8,888 a year (or approximately US$2,222 per person).

With its investment, IGNIA is addressing the persistent funding gap faced by small and medium-sized construction companies as they seek to tackle the enormous housing deficit in Mexico. Jardines del Grijalva is being developed by Premezclados Industriales, S.A. de C.V. ("Casas Premin"). "Critical to the success of affordable housing developments in Mexico is deep knowledge of local markets, strong relationships with municipalities, and expertise and cost-effectiveness in the execution of the construction," said Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui, co-founder and managing partner of IGNIA. "We found all of these elements in Casas Premin and we are delighted to be their partner."

The new houses offered by Casas Premin are a response to the severe lack of affordable, quality houses in Mexico, where the current housing backlog is estimated at 14.3 million homes. 70% of the Mexican population earn less than US $3,500 per person per year and are in the base of the socioeconomic pyramid ("BoP"). For the portion of families at the BoP that are formally employed and have access to credit, the Jardines de Grijalva expansion will provide a sorely needed supply of affordable homes with basic infrastructure (including water, electricity, sewage and roads). For those in the informal economy without access to credit, an estimated 69% of the Mexican workforce, the new development offers groundbreaking mortgage financing by developing a partnership with a new type of lender. This creative multi-party solution breaks the barriers that deny half the population of Mexico access to a decent home.

"Through investing in innovative affordable housing solutions, IGNIA is helping to provide the BoP with access to a decent home, access to basic services such as water, electricity, and sewage systems, and most importantly, the opportunity to build a family's net worth," said Michael Chu, co-founder and Managing Director of IGNIA.

Jardines del Grijalva is IGNIA's second investment, and its first in affordable housing.

IGNIA Fund I, LP is a social venture capital fund that invests in high growth businesses in Mexico and other regions of Latin America. By providing effective responses to the enormously underserved needs of the low income population, both as consumers as well as active participants in productive value chains, IGNIA empowers entrepreneurship and generates social impact while creating attractive financial returns for its investors. IGNIA invests approximately $2 - $10 million per company over the life of the investment.

Casas Premin is a medium-sized construction company headquartered in Oaxaca that has built and sold more than 3,000 houses for different economic sectors mostly in Oaxaca and some in Queretaro and Quintana Roo. In addition to its expertise in building houses, Casas Premin has vast experience in the execution of general urbanization of developments, road paving, construction and remodeling of water treatment plants and other structures.
