TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 27, 2011) - Carlisle Goldfields Limited (News - Market indicators) (the "Company" or "Carlisle") is pleased to announce assay results from its MacLellan Advanced Exploration project in northwest Manitoba near the town of Lynn Lake where the Company is continuing with a 45,000-metre Diamond drilling program. The results from the drill program during this reporting period addressed 4 areas as follows: (1) MacLellan Western Resource Extension, (2) South Zone, (3) Bruichladdie Zone and (4) the MacLellan Resource area. The Company published a NI 43-101 compliant resource on only the MacLellan Resource area last year in August 2010. The Company is hoping to have accumulated enough information across all of these four areas to calculate a series of new compliant resources by early 2012.

Highlights

The gold (Au) and silver (Ag) highlights from the MacLellan Resource results are as follows:

Highlights from the MacLellan Western Resource Extension results are as follows:

Highlights from the South Zone results are as follows:

Highlights from the Bruichladdie Zone results are as follows:

Peter Karelse, P.Geo, the Company's Vice-President of Exploration commented, "The resource development drilling at the MacLellan site continues to demonstrate the continuity encountered previously in relatively undrilled or under-drilled areas. The newly initiated drilling at the Burnt Timber site is of particular interest as it is an area that has a high potential to develop additional overall resource ounces. Previous work suggests that the Burnt Timber deposit remains open in all directions and at depth."

Bruce Reid, President of Carlisle Goldfields, stated, "The results from our recent drilling continue to enhance both the size and quality of the MacLellan deposit and the nearby associated zones. Management is optimistic that these results will significantly add to the critical mass and quality of these deposits when a new NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate is compiled and reported in 2012."

The full results from the drilling for these areas are summarized in Table 1 below.

The MacLellan Western Resource Extension addresses the area to the west of the defined resource area to the Keewatin River and lying predominantly in the walls of the preliminary pit design. This drilling confirms the continuation of the resource style mineralization to the east side of the river.

The South Zone drilling focuses on an area approximately 400 metres to the south of the MacLellan Resource, following up on sparse historic drilling. This South Zone was drilled as it exhibited a moderate induced polarization chargeability signature similar to the MacLellan Resource.

The Bruichladdie Zone drilling is focused on the area extending to the west from the Keewatin River in line with the strike of the MacLellan Resource and the MacLellan Western Resource Extension mineralization. The drilling is exploratory in nature and follows up on the continuation of the induced polarization chargeability signature associated with the MacLellan Resource, and historic geochemical results. This exploratory drilling confirms the extension of the MacLellan Resource mineralization style to a strike distance of more than 2.5 kilometres.

The MacLellan Resource drilling continues to deliver positive results in those areas that were not drilled or were under-drilled and, consequently, were not included in the past 43-101-resource calculation, which was completed last year. This drilling was targeted to fill in those gaps.

Burnt Timber Project

Digital compilation of the historic drill data associated with the Burnt Timber deposit has been completed. Drilling commenced in this area last week beginning with the Burnt Timber pit area proper. The Burnt Timber pit area is accessible by an all-season road, which is approximately 15 km south-east of the Town of Lynn Lake. An induced polarization survey comprising of 80 line-kilometres has commenced and will be complete by mid-October. This ground IP geophysical survey covers an area along the Johnson Shear, approximately 7 km to the east and west of the Burnt Timber Mine area. The Burnt Timber Mine was actively mined for approximately a year in 1997-98 producing approximately 78,000 ounces Au at an average grade of 2.8 g/t from an open pit dug down to a depth of only 30 metres. Mining opened up a strike length of approximately 300 metres while historical drilling has demonstrated a mineralized strike length of nearly 900 metres in length.

About Carlisle: Carlisle Goldfields Limited is a Canadian-based gold exploration and development company, focused on development of its mining leases and claims in the Lynn Lake Greenstone Belt of Northern Manitoba, covering approximately 20,000 hectares which include the former MacLellan Gold mine and two other former producing gold mines as well as numerous other historically identified Gold Zones all within close proximity of the town of Lynn Lake.

In mid-2010 (see News Release dated July 26, 2010), Carlisle announced a NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate on the MacLellan Gold Property in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, which included Total Open Pit and Underground Resources having increased to 5.3 million tonnes containing 658,200 ounces of AuEq (Gold Equivalent) at an average grade of 3.85 g/t AuEq (3.59 g/t Au and 19.3 g/t Ag) in the Measured and Indicated categories and 4.4 million tonnes containing 506,200 ounces of AuEq at an average grade of 3.56 g/t AuEq (2.9 g/t Au and 42.4 g/t Ag) in the Inferred category. The current Measured and Indicated Categories represent 55% of the total resource tonnage.
