Duncastle Gold Closes Flow-Through Financing

Duncastle Gold Corp. ("Duncastle") (DUN:TSX.V) announces that it has closed its previously announced flow-through private placement and has raised $122,000 by the issuance of 2,440,000 units.  Each unit consists of one flow-through common share and one-half share purchase warrant, with each whole share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one additional non-flow-through common share at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a period of three years.  Finder's fees consisting of common shares and finder's warrants are payable.  All securities issued in this financing including common shares, share purchase warrants and finder's warrants include a legend restricting trading of the securities until May 1, 2013.  The private placement and finder's fees relative thereto are subject to regulatory approval. 

Proceeds from the private placement will fund geological and geophysical exploration work at Duncastle's newly acquired Pipestone, Black Lake and Drayton gold projects in northwest Ontario and to fund CEE eligible exploration expenses on other Canadian mineral properties.
