Greencastle Oil Acquisition and Update

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 22, 2014) - Greencastle Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:VGN) ("Greencastle" or "the Company"), is pleased to report that the Company has acquired a 47.5% working interest, subject to a 3-per-cent gross overriding royalty, in a suspended Cardium oil and gas well in the Ferrier area of Alberta, which the company feels can be recompleted. Management hopes to expand the play and find a partner to undertake the recompletion while Greencastle retains a royalty.

Meanwhile, the unusually cold winter has delayed production testing on the Company's 2.5-per-cent GORR interest in the first well on its acreage in the northwest Alberta Spirit River / Charlie Lake oil field. Drilling has been completed and the operator indicates that production testing will start this summer.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
