The Kagera Nickel Project is located in western Tanzania. The key tenements are located approximately 10 kilometres northeast of Xstrata Nickel and Barrick Golds' Kabanga Nickel Deposit, one of the world's largest undeveloped high grade nickel sulphide deposit, which is currently undergoing feasibility studies. Total measured and indicated resources at Kabanga are reported at 37.4 million tonnes grading 2.59% nickel with an additional 16 million tonnes of inferred resources at 2.9% nickel (source: Xtrata Nickel website). 

The 3,000 metre diamond drill program will initially focus on two highly prospective targets outlined by airborne and ground electromagnetic surveys that are closest to the boundary with the adjacent Kabanga property.

"The Kagera Project is located in a highly prospective belt that hosts world class nickel deposits," commented Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., President & CEO of Castillian. "Castillian has excellent exposure to the potential upside of the project through its long term share ownership and potential performance shares.
