Castle Peak Announces Warrant Amendment

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 15, 2016) - Castle Peak Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CAP) ("Castle Peak" or the "Company") reports that its board of directors has authorized an amendment to the expiry date and reduce the exercise price of certain warrants issued in connection with the Company's private placement which closed on July 10, 2013.

Pursuant to the private placement, an aggregate of 40,000,000 warrants were issued bearing an original expiry date of July 17, 2016 and an exercise price of $0.10 per share, all of which remain unexercised.

The Company is now seeking the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to extend the expiry date of 20,000,000 of these warrants to December 31, 2017 (the "Amended Warrants"). The 20,000,000 warrants not being extended will expire on July 17, 2016.

The Company is also seeking approval of the TSXV Venture Exchange to reduce the exercise price of the Amended Warrants to $0.05 per share or such other price as may be acceptable to the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Amended Warrants are held by parties who are considered to be "related parties" of the Company. Therefore, the amendment of the Amended Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions, and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions. However, the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for by these guidelines can be relied upon because neither the fair market value of the Amended Warrants nor the fair market value of the consideration paid for the Amended Warrants exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Company. The material change report could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to the amendment of the Warrants due to the pending expiry of such warrants.
