Carlisle Goldfields Announces Initial Linkwood Inferred Resource Estimate of 783,000 Ounces of Gold Grading 1.16 g/t
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- Carlisle Goldfields Limited ("Carlisle" or the "Company") (TSX: CGJ)(OTCQX: CGJCF) is pleased to announce its Linkwood Deposit initial resource estimate totaling 783,000 ounces of gold (Au) in the inferred category grading 1.16 g/t. In addition the Linkwood Deposit resource estimate has an Indicated resource of 37,000 ounces of gold also grading 1.16 g/t.
Carlisle's President and CEO, Bruce Reid commented that: "The addition of the Linkwood resource estimate provides considerable gold ounces to our total Lynn Lake Gold Camp resource base. Both Burnt Timber and Linkwood have proven that there is significant upside for development and future exploration along strike on the Johnson Shear. We will follow up on known historical gold zones west along the Johnson Shear from the Linkwood deposit in 2013."

1. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may
be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
2. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation
are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to
define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral
resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
upgrading them to the Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.
3. The mineral resources in this press release were estimated using the
inverse cubed grade interpolation method and the CIM Standards on
Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by
the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions adopted by CIM
Council.
4. The gold price used was the August 31, 2012 two year trailing average of
US$1,555/oz with a process recovery of 95%. The US$ exchange rate was
$1.00.
5. Process costs used were C$15/tonne and G&A was C$4/tonne. Open pit
mining costs were C$3.25/tonne for mineralized material and C$2.50/tonne
for waste. Open pit slopes were 50 degrees.
6. The Company's initial resource estimate used a 0.4 g/t cut-off grade.
In 2012, Carlisle launched a 25 hole drill program on the Linkwood deposit. The Linkwood deposit is located along strike approximately 4 km west of the Burnt Timber Project along the Johnson Shear. Both projects show similar east-west strike and 45-55 degree dip to the North. The Linkwood Deposit was essentially re-discovered by the company using IP geophysics in early 2012. The project was originally identified and partially outlined by drilling in the 1980's by Sherritt Gordon.

The Linkwood deposit has been identified over an 800 metre strike length through the diamond drilling program completed in 2012. The deposit remains open in all directions. The geological formation that contains the mineralized zones is estimated to have a true thickness of approximately 140 metres. The formation lies at a dip of approximately 50 degrees to the north with an east-west strike. Within this geological formation there have been 7 separate continuous gold bearing mineralized zones outlined. The thicknesses of these various individual gold mineralized zones are locally variable in width up to 25 meters, and average 8.5 metres in width at the resource scale. All zones are open to depth. The resource estimate done by P&E Geological Consultants was constrained within the confines of a whittle pit with the gold resource bearing zones outlined from surface down to a depth of 160 metres.

The Linkwood Resource estimate is the third such report that Carlisle has reported in less than a year. See below in "About Carlisle" or look on www.sedar.com dated March 13th and September 24th 2012. Management is confident that the Company will report two more additional resource estimates before the end of the 2nd Q 2013 on Last Hope Project and the Farley Lake Project.

In March 2012 (see News Release dated March 13, 2012), Carlisle announced an updated Resource Estimate on its MacLellan Gold Project in Lynn Lake, Manitoba. This included Open Pit and Underground Resources in the Measured and Indicated Categories having increased to 32.4 million tonnes containing 2,018,100 ounces of AuEq at an average grade of 1.94 g/t AuEq (1.9 g/t Au and 4.4g/t Ag). The pit-contained Measured and Indicated categories of 29.9 million tonnes contain 1.7 million ounces of AuEq at an average grade of 1.8g/t AuEq (1.7 g/t Au and 4.4g/t Ag). The current Measured and Indicated Categories represent 94% of this total resource estimate.
In September 2012 (see News Release dated September 24, 2012), Carlisle announced its initial Burnt Timber Project Inferred Resource estimate totaling 23,438,000 tonnes containing 780,500 ounces of gold ("Au") at an average grade of 1.04 grams per tonne ("g/t"). The Indicated Resource is estimated to be 1,021,000 tonnes containing 45,900 ounces of gold at an average grade of 1.40 g/t. The Company's new resource estimate used a 0.4 g/t cut off to a depth of 170 metres from surface.
