Castle Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CRI) ("Castle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its third positive set of drill core assay results from the ongoing 35,000 meter surface exploration program at the Granduc Copper Project located near Stewart, B.C.

"These impressive Main Zone drill results reveal that copper mineralization beneath the historic mine workings is very thick and carries excellent copper grade," stated Mr. Mike Sylvestre, President & CEO of Castle Resources. "It is clear we have intercepted a major copper rich section of the Main Zone based on assays from holes GD11-21 and GD11-25. This represents one of the largest zones of high grade copper mineralization intersected to date and will likely add significant tonnage to our updated NI 43-101 resource estimate expected later this year."

Castle has now completed over 55 holes of its 60+ hole step out and expansion drilling program and aims to complete the surface program at the Granduc by early October. There are currently 5 drills turning at site with a focus on testing potential down dip zones identified by SRK Consulting as 'exploration potential' and targeting potential non-compliant NI 43-101 historic copper resources down to sea level (see SEDAR July 4, 2010). In addition, a large percentage of this year's drilling has been focused on defining the potential copper mineralization in the South Zone and as previously press released drill core assays results clearly show high grade mineralization extending over 600 meters on strike and to the south of the Main Zone (see press release dated July 27, 2011) and 600 meters down dip to sea level (see press release dated Sept 8, 2011) It is increasingly evident that Granduc mineralization remains open at depth beneath sea level and open along strike to the south, beyond Castle's most southern step-out hole.
