Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN)(FRANKFURT:5D3) ("Duncastle") reported
today that it has completed the first drill program of 2011 on its Porphyry
Creek project located 30 kilometers northwest of Smithers, in northwest British
Columbia.


Six holes totaling about 2,583 meters of a planned 2,400 meter program were
drilled in the Sultana mine area on the east side of the large 135 square
kilometer property. Five holes were drilled south, west and southwest of the
2010 discovery holes in which all three drill holes were mineralized throughout
their length with chalcopyrite and molybdenite including an average of 0.055%
copper in hole PC10-01 (441 meters), which ended in 0.20% copper over the final
30 meters of the hole (see December 16, 2011 news release). A sixth hole was
drilled from a pad to the northwest to test the highest electromagnetic
conductor (geophysical anomaly) in the Sultana area. Together the nine holes
drilled to date test an area over 600 meters in length as shown in the following
figure:

Assay results are pending and additional drilling will be scheduled thereafter.
Duncastle is now planning reconnaissance ground geological work and geochemical
survey programs for the west side of the claim group as summarized in news
releases dated February 22 and May 25, 2011. Potential ground geophysics and
drilling are planned in these target areas later in the summer. A figure
summarizing the other targets at Porphyry Creek is available at:

There are over 20 porphyry discoveries in the region, including Berg, Bell,
Huckleberry, Mt Milligan, and Galore Creek among others, plus other deposit
types (e.g. Eskay Creek). The Porphyry Creek claim group includes historic
workings and numerous high-grade gold, silver and polymetallic showings around a
distinct 10 kilometer long magnetic high with coincident copper, lead and zinc
geochemical anomalies shown in government data and Duncastle's work to date.
