TORONTO, June 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlisle Goldfields Limited ("Carlisle" or the "Company") (TSX:CGJ) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Tetra Tech WEI Inc. ("Tetra Tech") to provide a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on its Lynn Lake Gold Camp.
Carlisle's President & CEO, Bruce Reid commented: "With the culmination of our highly successful drill program which delineated significant resources in the Lynn Lake Gold Camp, the time is right to develop a model that clearly demonstrates the economic value of this resource. We are looking forward to working with Tetra Tech and drawing upon the extensive knowledge of their team."
The PEA will use the combined resources defined within the MacLellan Mine, Burnt Timber, Linkwood and Farley Lake Mine Projects.

| (1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. | ||||||
| (2) The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category. | ||||||
| (3) The Mineral Resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. | ||||||
| (4) Historical mined mineralized material has been depleted. | ||||||
| (5) Values in the table may differ due to rounding. | ||||||
Tetra Tech will utilize the available information, concepts, and conclusions from previous work completed on the MacLellan Mine Project (see Press Release March 19, 2012).
The PEA will include the following with results expected to be completed in the second half of 2013 and will include:
- Mining
- Process engineering studies
- Geotechnical analysis
- Mining infrastructure and logistics
- Environmental and socio-economic analysis
- Capital expenditures
- Operating expenditures
- Analysis, recommendations, and opportunities
