Complete drill data will be made available on the company's web site at www.carlislegold.com.
Carlisle is currently drilling with 3 drills in the MacLellan Mine and surrounding area with approximately 15,000 metres completed of a minimum 25,000-metre program planned for the area. The company will drill a further 15,000 metres at the former Burnt Timber (BT) Open Pit Mine site commencing August 1, 2011 to delineate possible additional resources both down-dip and along strike adjacent to the former producer. An additional 5,000 metres will be drilled at the newly acquired Dunlop option in late fall 2011. (See press release February 15, 2011 on www.sedar.com)
Coincident with the drilling at the BT site, Carlisle will initiate a 100 line-kilometer Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey for the BT mine and adjacent areas. This survey is planned to commence in mid-August and will cover the possible western and eastern extensions of the T1A fault, which is the controlling structure of the gold mineralization found at the BT Open Pit Mine. This survey will cover approximately 5.5 km of strike length along this structure. Follow up drilling for this area will be planned when the results of the IP survey are made available.
Bruce Reid President and CEO commented that "this set of results continues to confirm our expectations of the increased potential size of this project. We are currently on our 28th hole in this program and we expect to continue to release supportive drill results that will ultimately add considerable value to Carlisle's share price."
Peter Karelse Vice-President of Exploration commented "the continuity and presently defined strike length for this deposit is remarkable. The next few weeks promises to be exciting as we start to drill targets defined by some positive historic work and coincident IP results from our recently completed survey. These are targets that are distant from the resource area but potentially a related extension."
