Forward Looking Statements
The information presented contains “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and “forward-looking information” under similar Canadian legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; capital expenditures; success of exploration activities; permitting time lines and permitting, mining or processing issues; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; litigation liabilities; and limitations on insurance coverage.
Generally, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources.
The information presented uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
In connection with the recently announced private placement financing, this presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities that are subject to the recently announced private placement financing have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

Overview
Castillian Resources Corp.TSX-V:CT, OTQX and CCTIIF
Canadian mineral exploration company whose focus is growing Gold deposits and advancing projects in Canada
Castillian's Flag Ship property is the Hope Brook Gold Project in southern Newfoundland
First NI 43-101 Mineral Resource released for Hope Brook February 2012
Canadian Creek property in central Yukon is adjacent Kaminak’s Sugar Gold-in-Soil Trend
South American assets are being monetized/joint ventured
Strong Board, Management and Technical Team

2011: Accomplishments
Castillian has significantly advanced its flagship Hope Brook Gold Project in Newfoundland
• First NI 43 -101 mineral resource announced February 14, 2012 (filed April 5, 2012), meeting guidance at 740,000 inferred ounces of gold and 290,000 indicated ounces of gold and in just 16 months of exploration
• Discovery cost of approximately $10 per resource ounce
• Deposit is open along strike and at depth with a number of target areas already defined
• Mineralization occurs over 8km+ structure that is very underexplored
• Positive tailing results have the potential to increase current mineral resource estimate
o Average grade of 58 tailings samples tested is 0.96 g Au/t and 0.10% Cu (see April 24, 2012 press release).
Substantially advanced Canadian Creek project in Yukon, outlining a 7.5 km long gold-in-soil anomaly that is associated with a major structure
In Bolivia, continue to evaluate options related to Achachucani which hosts an historical resource of 2.3 million ounces*
Working on completing the sale of other non-core assets

NI 43-101 Mineral Resource
Constraining shell incorporates essentially all of the remaining historic resources in the former Hope Brook mine in addition to new areas of resource as defined by Castillian, including the Pit Zone, Hanging Wall Zone and Mine Zone Extension.
There is a possible copper credit that is not included in the mineral resource due to missing copper assays in historical drill holes.

Major Exploration Upside at Hope Brook
Deposit is open along strike and at depth
Twinned holes typically return much higher gold and copper grades compared to historical holes
Historic drill holes too short to test depth extension
Widespread higher grade mineralization
Silicified zones can be traced using geophysics
