VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 4, 2010) - Duncastle Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:DUN)(FRANKFURT:5D3) (the "Company") reported today that it has signed a contract with Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. to carry out a 514 line-km helicopter borne DIGHEM EM/Magnetic/Radiometric geophysical survey on its 100% owned Porphyry Creek project located 20 kilometers northwest of Smithers, in northwest British Columbia.
The Porphyry Creek project covers over 115 sq km of mineral claims with historic workings and numerous high-grade gold, silver and polymetallic showings around a distinct 10 kilometer long magnetic high. Data compilation and modeling by the Company has demonstrated mineral zonation on the property consistent with porphyry style deposits. The airborne geophysical survey tools are GPS logged for accurate location control and will allow ground follow-up this summer as part of a surface mapping and sampling program to establish priority drill targets.
The Company also reports that it has, today, granted incentive stock options to directors, officers, consultants and employees to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at
.10 per share exercisable for a period of five years in accordance with the Duncastle stock option plan. The options are subject to acceptance for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.
