TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 24, 2012) - Castillian Resources Corp. (TSX:CT)(OTCQX:CTIIF) entered into an agreement yesterday to grant Ryan Gold Corp. the option to acquire a 10% working interest in the Hope Brook Gold Property located in southwest Newfoundland (the "Property"). 

Ryan Gold will acquire this working interest after incurring aggregate exploration expenditures on the Property in the amount of $2,000,000 by December 31, 2012. Upon Ryan Gold acquiring this interest, Castillian and Ryan Gold will enter into a joint venture agreement whereby each company will contribute to further expenditures on the Property in proportion to their respective joint venture interests.

As part of this agreement, Ryan Gold has an option to transfer its 10% working interest back to Castillian prior to June 30, 2013 for that number of shares of Castillian that is equal to the sum of all expenditures incurred on the Property by Ryan Gold (the "Expenditures") divided by $0.05. At any time after June 30, 2013 and prior to December 31, 2013, Castillian will have the option to purchase the interest back from Ryan Gold in consideration for, at Castillian's option, either a cash payment to Ryan Gold equal to the Expenditures or that number of Castillian shares that is equal to the Expenditures divided by $0.05.

The transaction remains subject to the exercise by Castillian of its option to acquire a 100% interest in the Property, which Castillian expects to be completed this week, and other customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Dr. Bill Pearson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Castillian, stated: "I am very pleased to have entered into this option agreement with Ryan Gold. I continue to believe that Hope Brook holds great potential and the $2,000,000 we will spend in the coming two months will enable Castillian to make significant progress in further defining the potential at Hope Brook, as well as continuing to expand existing mineral resources. We have two rigs currently on the Property with a third rig to be added soon and have structured a very exciting drill program that will begin immediately on closing of the option agreement."

Castillian also announces that it has entered into a bridge loan agreement with Dr. Bill Pearson whereby Dr. Pearson has lent $250,000 to Castillian. The loan matures on December 31, 2012, carries an interest rate of 15% per annum and will be used by Castillian to make the remaining cash payments required to exercise its option on the Property and for general corporate purposes.
