Press Release
NEWCASTLE EARNS 100% INTEREST IN PICKLE LAKE CLAIMS
Suite 416 108-800 Kelly Road VICTORIA, BC, October 12, 2011 – Newcastle Minerals Ltd. Victoria, BC V9B 6J9 (TSXV:NCM) is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option early T 250 474 7999 F 250 474 7997 and purchased a 100% interest, subject to a 2% NSR royalty payable to Cadillac Ventures Inc., in its Pickle Lake property. The former Cadillac [email protected] www.newcastleminerals.com claims consist of 21 mining claims covering 2,960 hectares located in TSXV-NCM Connell and Dona Lake townships of the Patricia Mining division in northwestern Ontario.
Several of the Cadillac claims are located southwest of, and adjoining, PC Gold Inc.’s Pickle Crow property. On September 15, 2011, PC Gold announced a major shallow drill program of 22,000 meters targeting the near surface banded-iron formation designed to expand their existing open pit resources. This banded-iron formation trends southwest onto Newcastle’s property. There are several areas of known mineralization on Newcastle’s property, such as the Bridge Zone, Field Zone and the most well-known, the Southwest Powderhouse zone. Several holes were drilled in 2010 in the Southwest Powderhouse zone area and near the northeast boundary of the property with the PC Gold property. Most holes returned gold mineralized intersections with results ranging from 0.82 g/t gold over 15 feet to 4.2 g/t gold over 5 feet in brecciated, quartz flooded iron formation. Follow-up drilling based on these and historic results is warranted.
The technical information herein was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Brian Newton, P. Geo., of Billiken Management Services Inc., who acts as Newcastle’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
