Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN) reported today on surface exploration
results from reconnaissance rock and stream sediment sampling on it's 100% owned
Porphyry Creek project, including high-grade silver and base-metals from two
prospects on this highly prospective 7,624 hectare property located 20 km
northwest of Smithers, northwest British Columbia.


Highlights of this work include:

- dump and talus samples which returned 2,566g/t Ag, 11.1% Pb and 19.4% Zn and
1,131g/t Ag, 4.9% Pb and 4.1% Zn in two separate samples from the Brunswick
Adit, and


- 152g/t Ag and 22% Zn from a massive sulphide boulder from the Brian Boru prospect.

- Stream sediment sampling which indicates strong Ag- and Cu- anomalies in two
prominent drainages within the property.


Reconnaissance mapping and sampling was carried out over an eight day period in
order to prioritize exploration targets for a more comprehensive 2009 program.
Stream sediment sampling tested four main drainages on the property. Several
samples returned strongly anomalous silver (greater than 5ppm), copper (greater
than 500ppm) and Zn (greater than 500ppm) and generally showed a strong spatial
association with known mineral occurrences.


Rock sampling focused primarily on known vein occurrences throughout the
property and returned bonanza-grade silver values similar these identified in
historic sampling and recorded (small scale) production from historical
workings. Samples from several new occurrences returned strong copper and gold
anomalies identified that will require follow work in 2009.


The recent acquisition of the Porphyry Creek project provides the Company with a
significant land package in a second highly prolific mineral district in British
Columbia. Eleven large porphyry or porphyry-style copper-gold,
copper-molybdenum, molybdenum, and molybdenum-tungsten deposits occur within a
150km radius of the property and regional stream sediment samples demonstrate
the property to be among the highest potential in British Columbia for Iron
Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) type deposits.


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 90 tenured
mineral claims totaling approximately 5,397 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 7,624 hectare
Porphyry Creek property in the Rocher Deboule Mountains near Smithers, with a
porphyry or IOCG copper-gold target.


Rob Macdonald, (P.Geo.), is the Qualified Person responsible for reviewing the
technical results reported in this release.
