he will subscribe to 1,000,000 units of the Company for a total of C$350,000.

exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of
eighteen months from the date of issuance. Mr. Buchan was given the opportunity
to subscribe in this private placement in consideration of his role and
contributions as Chairman of the Company. The private placement was approved by
the independent directors of the Company and is anticipated to close on or
before September 6, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in the private
placement will be subject to a four month hold period. The funds will be used
for general corporate purposes.

About Castle Mountain Mining Company
Subject to certain obligations, Castle Mountain has 100% of the right, title and
beneficial interest in and to the Castle Mountain Venture, a California general
partnership, which owns the Castle Mountain property in San Bernardino County,
California. The Castle Mountain heap leach gold mine produced over one million
ounces of gold from 1992 to 2001, when mining was suspended due to low gold
prices.
The Castle Mountain venture land holdings (7,458 acres total) include patented
claims (1,298 acres), and unpatented claims (3,209 acres), covering
approximately 4,507 acres, plus additional leased claims of approximately 2,951
acres. The Company has recently completed the Phase 1 drill program which tested
several exploration targets at various locations on the property. These drill
results were disclosed in press releases dated June 20, 2013 and July 16, 2013
and are available at the Company's website at www.castlemountainmining.com. Upon
completion of analysis of the Phase 1 program with the aid of computer generated
models, Castle Mountain Mining expects to start a Phase 2 program at the
property, subject to financing. Castle Mountain Mining has engaged RPA Inc. to
work with the Company in developing a program that will, amongst other things,
identify optimal drill locations, meet and exceed QA/QC standards, and allow the
historic drilling on the property made up of 354,800 m of drilling across 1,729
drill holes to be used together with recent and future drilling to create a
mineral resource on the property that is in accordance with National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101"). The Company anticipates the release of the technical
report following the completion of the Phase 2 drill program.
Castle Mountain Mining Company Limited, through its wholly owned subsidiaries
including Castle Mountain Venture, is focused on the exploration and, if
warranted, development of deposits in San Bernardino County, California. The
principal gold mineralization identified to date within the Project are below
and surrounding the historically mined Pits on the Property including the Oro
Belle-Hart Tunnel, Jumbo, and Lesley Anne-Jumbo South Pits, as well as in the
South Domes area. Historic non-compliant NI 43-101 mineral resources for the
project were outlined in a technical report entitled "NI 43-101 REPORT ON THE
CASTLE MOUNTAIN PROPERTY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA USA" by Thomas
Temkin, CPG, dated October 24, 2012 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
