Castle Peak Mining Ltd. ('Castle Peak' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE:CAP) is
pleased to announce that Hon. Mike Hammah (MP), Minister of Lands and Natural
Resources of the Republic of Ghana, has consented to the grant of a
reconnaissance license for the Great Yorkshire concession to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Castle Peak Mining Ltd. Terms of the grant are for a 100% interest
in the license covering an area of 35.33 square kilometres. The license will be
good for one year after which it is eligible for extension and renewal.


Darren Lindsay, President and CEO, is pleased with the new addition to Castle
Peak's land package in the southern Ashanti belt in Ghana. "Coupled with the
recent option to acquire the Enyinase concession, we now have a coherent land
package that follows the prospective Birimian-Tarkwaian boundary which is a
structural control for deposits currently being mined by Goldfields, Anglogold
Ashanti and Golden Star Resources." He adds, "Auger sampling has already been
initiated along the high potential structural corridors with the goal of
defining high priority drill targets."


The Company also announces the receipt of the renewal for the prospecting
license for the Ayiem concession. This license renewal was delayed in being
formally granted to Foremost Mining Company Limited, which subsequently
transferred its 95% interest to Castle Peak under the terms of an assignment
agreement dated January 28, 2011. In accordance with Ghana's Minerals and Mining
Act, the renewal reflects the mandatory shedding requirements to encompass a
total land area of 25.00 square kilometres.


Castle Peak also announces the appointment of Ashlee Utterback to the position
of Investor Relations Manager, covering for Marlo Hamer-Jackson who will be
leaving on a one year maternity leave starting November 3, 2011. Under the terms
of the agreement with Ms. Utterback, Castle Peak will pay Ms. Utterback $7,500
per month for a one-year term and has granted 50,000 stock options with an
exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of 12 months expiring on October
21, 2012. The option grant is subject to regulatory approval. Ms. Utterback has
worked in sales and marketing management for nearly 10 years, most recently with
Thinkbox National Marketing as VP, Client Services. Ms. Utterback will assist
Castle Peak with providing marketing and communications services to existing and
potential investors, creating marketing materials, providing feedback to
management and assisting with trade shows and other media relations.
