Vancouver, March 20, 2018 - Castle Peak Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CAP) ("Castle Peak" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of November 2, 2017, the Company has completed the sale of the Company's exploration interests in the southern Ashanti Belt, Western Region, Ghana to Star Goldfields Ltd. (the "Transaction") for proceeds of an aggregate of US$4,250,000 in cash, less certain less certain liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries of the Company that held the exploration interests as at the closing date. Approval of the Transaction by the Company's shareholders was obtained by special resolution at a meeting of shareholders held on October 19, 2017 (the "Shareholders' Meeting").
As previously disclosed, following completion of the Transaction, the Company does not have any active business operations or assets other than cash.

There can be no assurance that such exploration of strategic alternatives will result in a transaction being pursued, entered into or consummated. The TSXV may transfer Castle Peak to the NEX, a separate board of the TSXV if Castle Peak fails to meet the ongoing minimum listing requirements of the TSXV.
