Carlisle Goldfields Announces Positive Drilling Results from Its Farley Lake Mine Project, Including 13 Metres Grading 4.66 g/t Au
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/13 -- Carlisle Goldfields Limited ("Carlisle" or the "Company") (TSX: CGJ)(OTCQX: CGJCF) announces additional results from its 2012 drill program at its Farley Lake Mine Project, highlighted by drill hole FL12-17, which showed multiple high-grade intersections including 13 metres (m), from 325 to 338 m, grading 4.66 g/t Au (grams per tonne of gold). Exploration and drilling work at Farley Lake was completed in December 2012. An initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is expected in Q2 2013.
Bruce Reid, President and CEO of Carlisle commented, "Farley Lake remains a priority at Carlisle. We are encouraged by these drill results, which also include a high-grade intersection in hole FL12-19 which showed 12 metres from 194 to 206 m, grading 21.65 g/t Au. Our technical team now has a better understanding of how the deposit sits in the ground after extensive in-field work and in-depth data analysis of current and historical information. Currently, our drilling program focus at Farley Lake is over an 800 metre strike length running east west within the area of the highlighted historical open pits. In addition we believe there is significant potential to the west and east of this focus area based on historical drilling and several generations of geophysical surveys."

About Farley Lake Mine Project: The Farley Lake Mine Project ("Farley Lake") is located approximately 35 km east of the Town of Lynn Lake. The Farley Lake Mine was put into production as two small open pits in 1997-99. 1,707,000 tonnes were mined at a grade of 4.23 g/t recovering 213,124 oz gold. Historical recoveries were over 90%. Historically, the project has been extensively drilled with over 300 diamond drill core holes done primarily during the 1990s.
As noted on March 19, 2013, Carlisle commenced a 25 hole drill program on the project in June 2012 which was completed in December 2012. This deposit differs from the Company's other deposits in the Lynn Lake Camp as it is hosted in a Pre-Cambrian sedimentary iron formation. The iron formation in the Farley Lake area is 6 km long by 600 m wide (Milligan, 1960) and is predominantly composed of an oxide facies iron formation that is intercalated with clastic sediments (Dahlstrom, 1949; Milligan, 1960).
