TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 21, 2012) - Duncan Park Holdings Corporation (TSX VENTURE:DPH)(OTCQX:DCNPF) announced today that the winter drilling program on its Red Lake properties has concluded early because of unseasonably warm weather and deteriorating ice conditions.

Notwithstanding the weather, the Company was able to complete four of six planned drill holes, with two holes drilled on each of the Dome and McManus properties. The Company expects to receive assay results and the project geologist's analysis over the next month and will report the results and plans for a summer drilling program to follow-up on the previously reported mineralized zone identified by the 2011 drilling program on the land-based patented claims on the McManus property (see news release dated November 14, 2011).

The cost of the Dome property drilling is expected to result in the Company completing the earn-in expenditure requirements on the Dome property.

The Company also announces that it no longer intends to proceed, at this time, with the previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to $500,000 of flow-through common shares.
