Castle Peak reports sampling at Enyinase concession; drilling at Apankrah Castle Peak Mining Ltd. (‘Castle Peak' or the ‘Company', TSX.V: CAP) reports auger sampling exploration results on the Enyinase concession; which is host to the inferred intersection between a mineralized north-south structural corridor and the high potential north-east Birimian-Tarkwaian structural corridor. Additionally, an initial follow up drill hole will be completed on the Apankrah Structure. After completion of three additional holes on the Dansuom target, the drill rig has been demobilized due to a need for access road upgrades for safety purposes. Once the upgrades have been completed, follow up drilling is planned to define the mineralized structure highlighted by the strong intercept in POWDDH004 of 10.8 metres (‘m') of 2.9 grams per tonne (‘g/t') gold (‘Au'), previously reported November 15, 2011. Castle Peak would also like to announce the appointment of J.David Mason to the Advisory Committee.
