TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 26, 2011) - Castillian Resources Corporation ("Castillian" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CT) is pleased to report that Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro have connected the Hope Brook camp to the power grid. This is the same power line that originally supplied power to the old Hope Brook Mine site. This is expected to result in a cost savings of at least $100,000 per year. Prior to being connected to the provincial power grid, Castillian transported approximately 90-100 barrels of diesel each month by boat in order to power the generators and drill rigs. Going forward, the Company will only require diesel fuel for its two drill rigs.


At the time the mine operated, the line was a three phase transmission line operating at 138kV (kilovolts) and was tapped from a substation on the Burgeo Road about 32 km east of Hope Brook. Following the mine's decommissioning, the line was reconfigured for single phase service to several local communities. Newfoundland and Labrador Power advises that the line the camp is connected to is capable of powering a small town.


Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., President & CEO of Castillian, commented: "Having a reliable and steady supply of power to our camp is a huge advantage and highlights the excellent infrastructure in the Hope Brook area. We thank the crews of Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro for the efficient and timely manner in which they completed the installation and connection to the power grid."


Mr. Dan Lee, P.Geo. Chief Geologist and Project Manager for Hope Brook said: "The hydro connection was a desirable option for us on several fronts. In addition to the cost savings, using less diesel fuel reduces our environmental impact and fewer barrels to transport means less potential safety hazards for our crew. The much steadier and more reliable power source will also significantly reduce the risk of damage to our computer system and other electronic equipment."
