CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information contained in this press release, including any information relating to the Transaction (including the anticipated benefits of the Transaction), and statements that address events or developments that Castillian or Ridgemont expects to occur, are "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "does not expect", "plans", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled", "forecast", "budget" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might" occur. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to completion and timing of the acquisition of Ridgemont, the delivery of the Hope Brook PEA, the upside potential of Hope Brook and the Hope Brook mineral resource estimate and its potential to be increased. All such forward-looking statements are subject to important risk factors and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Castillian's or Ridgemont's ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Castillian's or Ridgemont's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based on include the estimation of mineral resources, the availability of necessary financing and materials to continue to explore and develop Hope Brook, that Castillian and Ridgemont will be able to satisfy the conditions contained in the Letter of Intent, that the required approvals will be obtained from the shareholders of Ridgemont, that all third party, court, regulatory and governmental approvals to the Transactions will be obtained, including from the Exchange and all other conditions to completion of the Transaction will be satisfied or waived. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Castillian and Ridgemont and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Such factors include, without limitation: capital requirements; fluctuations in the international currency markets and in rates of exchange of metal prices; changes in national and local government legislation in Canada or any other country in which Castillian and Ridgemont currently or may in the future carry on business; taxation; controls, regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in which Castillian and Ridgemont do or may carry on business; competition; loss of key employees; and additional funding requirements;

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and Castillian and Ridgemont expressly disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. Although each of Castillian and Ridgemont believe that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

NEITHER THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
