Castle Minerals Limited announces encouraging results from Kpali Gold Project drilling programme

Castle Minerals Limited (ASX:CDT) has reported the completion of a 9-hole, 1,106m RC drill programme at its Kpali Gold Project in Ghana's Upper West Region. The programme returned numerous well mineralised intercepts, reinforcing the prospectivity at the emerging Kpali Gold Project. The results are highly encouraging as this is the first drilling programme at Kpali following its discovery by Castle in a region with no prior history of gold exploration or any artisanal mining evidencing the presence of gold.

Executive Chairman, Stephen Stone, comments on the drilling results

Stephen Stone, Executive Chairman of Castle Minerals, commented on the latest drilling results, stating, 'These latest drilling results from the Kpali Gold Project really enhance the prospectivity of the Project and the possibility that it could be an indicator of a new West African camp. The presence of high conviction prospects within Castle's regional-scale Wa Gold Project further reinforces our belief that one or more material discoveries could be made.'
