TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 24, 2012) -

This document corrects and replaces the press release that was sent today October 24th at 7:00 AM EDT. 

Ryan Gold Corp. (News - Market indicators) ("Ryan") wishes to clarify the terms of its agreement with Castillian Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CT) ("Castillian") pursuant to which Ryan has been granted the option to acquire a 10% working interest in the option held by Castillian to acquire a 100% interest in the Hope Brook Gold property and associated properties(the "Transaction"). 

In order to acquire its working interest, Ryan is required to incur aggregate exploration expenditures on the property of $2,000,000 (the "Expenses") by December 31, 2012. At any time after Ryan has acquired its interest in the property and prior to June 30, 2013, Ryan shall be entitled to transfer such interest back to Castillian (the "Put Right") in consideration of the issuance to Ryan of that number of shares of Castillian (each, a "Castillian Share") that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of all expenditures incurred or deemed to have been incurred on the property by Ryan to the date of exercise of the Put Right, by (b) $0.05 per Castillian Share. Further, in the event that Ryan exercises the option and acquires its 10% working interest in the property, then at any time after June 30, 2013 and prior to December 31, 2013, Castillian shall have the right (the "Call Right") to require that Ryan transfer such interest back to Castillian in consideration of, at the option of Castillian, either (i) a cash payment to Ryan that is equal to the sum of all expenditures incurred or deemed to have been incurred on the property by Ryan to the date of exercise of the Call Right; or (ii) a number of Castillian Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of all expenditures incurred or deemed to have been incurred on the property by Ryan to the date of exercise of the Call Right, by (b) $0.05 per Castillian Share. Ryan may only exercise the Put Right and Castillian shall only be permitted to exercise the Call Right in Castillian Shares to the extent that such exercise does not result in Ryan holding 20% or more of all of the issued and outstanding Castillian Shares at the time of exercise.

The Transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, amongst other matters. Ryan's press release issued earlier today incorrectly described the terms of the Call Right.
