Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN) reported today that drilling has started
on its wholly-owned Yankee-Dundee property located three kilometres northeast of
Ymir, in southeastern British Columbia. Up to 3000 metres of core drilling is
anticipated in two phases which is designed to follow-up on higher grade results
from the 2007 drilling and to continue the systematic testing of targets
developed through historical research, data compilation, airborne geophysics and
surface sampling.


Three to four drill holes will test the up-dip and down-dip extensions of the
Yukon shoot which when drilled in 2007 returned a 6.72 metre interval grading
4.6g/t Au, 46.5g/t Ag, 1.2% Pb and 3.4% Zn from hole YD07-15 and a 8.68 metre
interval of 2.3g/t Au and 11.2g/t Ag from hole YD07-16. These results represent
a 247 metre step-out from the main Yankee Girl workings and may also represent a
significant previously undeveloped mineralized shoot (see NR-01-08).


Several drill holes are designed to test targets which were identified in
historical reports and records including lenses of base-metal rich
mineralization and potentially un-mined gold mineralization along the shallow
eastern extension of the Yankee Girl Vein. Indications of this mineralization
were returned from Duncastle's Spring 2007 drilling program (see NR-01-08) which
returned a 1.54 metre interval grading 6.0g/t Au and 1.23 metre interval grading
5.17/t Au.


Other drill targets include the adjacent Lakeview structure and Bonus vein, and
several veins which strike obliquely to the predominantly east-west trend of the
main vein system.

Company Overview

Duncastle Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company based in British Columbia,
Canada with projects in both central and southeastern BC. The Yankee-Dundee
project comprises 26 crown grants under a 100% option agreement and owns 89
tenured mineral claims totaling approximately 5,376 hectares in the Nelson
Mining District, located three kilometres northeast of the town of Ymir in
southeastern British Columbia. Gold mineralization was first reported near Ymir
in the late 1800s, with much of the mining taking place at the Yankee Girl,
Dundee and Ymir mines during the period 1907 to 1951. Historical records
indicate that a total of 375,000 tonnes grading 9.9g/t Au and 57g/t Ag were
mined from the Yankee Girl vein during this time. Exploration by the company is
targeting high-grade Au-quartz veins throughout the Ymir district which
historically, together with the adjacent Sheep Creek district is reported to
have produced more than one million ounces of gold(1). In central B.C. the
company has the 7,216 hectare Porphyry Creek property in the Rocher Deboule
Mountains near Smithers, with a porphyry or IOCG copper-gold target. Duncastle
Gold Corp. is a Manex Resource Group company.
