Castle Peak Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: CAP) is a Canadian-based true explorer focused on creating long term value through the definition of a pipeline of economic deposits focusing on strong grades. The Company holds a strategic land package in Ghana's prolific Ashanti gold belt, which has yielded past production of >150 million ounces putting Ghana as the second largest gold producer in Africa. Within 50 kilometres of Castle Peak's Akorade Project there are five producing gold projects which account for nearly 50 million ounces in gold reserves and resources.
The Company recently published a preliminary mineral resource estimate of 275,000 tons at 8.6 g/t Au for a total of 76,000 contained ounces. The current resource models a single shoot on the Apankrah Structure, with a target to increase the resource base to 250,000 ounces on at least four other known structures within the Apankrah Target Area. Castle Peak is now moving forward to complete preliminary metallurgical analysis in an effort to initiate a preliminary economic assessment for developing Apankrah.
The Company has also built a solid approach to understanding the two key structural trends on its 225 square kilometer land package. Castle Peak's staged development of the higher grade Apankrah Target Area with eventual expansion to potentially larger deposits within key structural corridors provides a solid strategy for increasing shareholder value and attracting potential partnership interest.
