TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – June 28, 2011) – Castillian Resources Corp. (“Castillian” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:CT) is pleased to announce that Quantec Geoscience Ltd. (“Quantec”) has been contracted to carry out a Titan 24 survey at the Company’s Hope Brook gold property located in Hope Brook, Newfoundland. Titan 24 is a specialized ground geophysical survey system developed by Quantec that has been successfully applied on many mineral exploration projects worldwide.

 

This proprietary system acquires large amounts of subsurface physical property information including induced polarization chargeability and direct current resistivity at depths of up to 750 metres and magnetotelluric resistivity to 1500 metres or more. The planned survey will cover the major target areas identified by Castillian in the old Hope Brook Mine – 240 Zone area. Work on the survey is expected to be completed during July 2011.

 

Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., President & CEO commented: “We expect that this survey will provide us with high quality data to better define the nature and extent of the gold mineralized system at depth. This will aid considerably in planning additional drill holes to test potential deeper targets which were largely untested by historical drilling. In addition we are continuing an aggressive program of down-hole and surface surveys using high resolution induced polarization and resistivity measurements to better define the full extent of the mineralized zone at shallower levels. Diamond drilling continues with two drills testing the Mine Zone, Hanging Wall and Pit Zone targets.”

Following the approval of the Company’s 10% rolling stock option plan in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (see press release of June 22, 2011), Castillian granted a total of 525,000 stock options to certain directors and a consultant of the Company.
