Carlisle Goldfields Announces Option Extension on its Last Hope Property
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/12 -- Carlisle Goldfields Limited ("Carlisle" or the "Company") (TSX: CGJ)(OTCQX: CGJCF) announces that it has signed an agreement with the optionor to extend the date for making the option payment on its Last Hope Property to December 31, 2012. The Company agreed to make an immediate cash payment of $50,000 and to deliver 50,000 Carlisle shares to the optionor in consideration of this extension. The issuance of shares by Carlisle is subject to any necessary regulatory approvals.
About Last Hope: In September 2012, Carlisle announced initial results from its 15-hole drill program at the Last Hope Project, highlighted by drill hole DO12-11, which intersected 6.5 metres from 357.0 metres (m) to 363.5 m, grading 8.1 g/t Au (grams per tonne of gold). Drilling expanded the known mineralization to the west. See the Company's news release dated September 12, 2012. These new results will be incorporated into a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate expected to be released later in 2012.
The Last Hope Project ("Last Hope") is located approximately 20 kms southeast of Lynn Lake, Manitoba and 6 km south of the Carlisle's Burnt Timber and Linkwood Projects. Last Hope had previously been substantially explored and drilled (1982-1984) and has a Historical Resource of 888,000 tonnes of mineralized material at a grade of 9.4 grams per tonne. This represents over 270,000 ounces of gold. Most of this mineralization was measured within 150 metres of surface. This was determined from assays of over 200 historical diamond drill holes in the mineralized zones. The core from this historical drilling remains intact at the project site and was partially re- assayed earlier this year. This historical resource estimate pre-dates NI 43-101, and therefore is not compliant with the requirements of NI 43-101. Consequently, the historical resource estimate cannot be relied upon. A qualified person, as defined in NI 43-101, has not performed sufficient work to classify the historical resource estimate as mineral resources and Carlisle is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
