TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 26, 2012) - Duncan Park Holdings Corporation (TSX VENTURE:DPH)(OTCQX:DCNPF) is pleased to announce that despite the unseasonably mild winter conditions, the Company was able to complete most of its planned winter core drilling program on its contiguous Dome and McManus claim groups that are subject to the earn-in agreements with Sphere Resources Inc. in the prolific Red Lake gold Camp of northwestern Ontario. This work consisted of two holes on the Dome claims and two holes on the McManus Patents.

The intent of the Dome drilling was to position the projected intersection of two geological structures interpreted to host gold systems within the Red Lake Gold camp. These structures are inferred from projections of the basic geologic framework adjacent to and under Red Lake that had been developed from government mapping and Company reconnaissance mapping. Drilling on the McManus Patents was intended to test the northwest extension of the newly discovered McManus/Chukuni Mineralized Zone (Press Release dated November 14, 2011).

The two Dome holes, drilled 1.6 km west of the McManus Gold system, confirmed the projection of contacts between the Howey Diorite on the south, a relatively thin (+/- 350 m) middle unit of iron-carbonate altered volcano-sedimentary rocks and an assemblage of mafic volcanic rocks on the north. Drilling has penetrated and positioned these contacts. The Company believes that this structural contact zone may represent part of the northeast trending Flat Lake/Madsen/Goldcorp deformation zone proposed by the Ontario Geological Survey in the 1980's. Hole SD12-09 returned 0.34 g/t gold over a 3m core interval at 175m down-hole (146m vertical).

The two holes on the McManus Patents were step-out holes drilled 150m and 300m west of the 2011 drilling on the westerly projection of the northwest trending McManus/Chukuni Mineralized Zone beneath Red Lake. These holes confirmed the continuation of the Zone and the presence of low grade gold mineralization, but did not encounter significant precious metal mineralization. Hole SM12-12, 300m west, intersected 0.288 g/t gold over 9.0m between 399.0-408.0m down-hole, a vertical depth of 297.5m. Assay intervals generally appear sub-vertical. True widths can be estimated at 0.6 X sample interval width.

A total of six diamond drill holes comprised of 2,121m were collared from four ice pads on Red Lake. Two holes were aborted due to overburden conditions.

Geochemical results have been received and will be incorporated into the extensive database evolving from the Company's work program. These data will be studied over the next few months as part of the planning for the next phase of drilling that, subject to available financing, is expected to be carried out over the summer of 2012. The summer program will be planned to extend and define the McManus/Chukuni mineralized zone and to continue the exploration of the rest of the large, highly prospective, land holding.

The drill program followed accepted mineral industry practices. All drill core was delivered to the secure core handling facility in Red Lake, where it was geologically logged, photographed, and geologically marked for sampling by the QP. Samples were then cut in half by diamond-bladed core saw, bagged, tagged and shipped to Accurassay Laboratories, an independent commercial ISO 17000 certified analytical laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario for fire assay-atomic absorption analysis, and by ICP geochemical analysis. The drill core and samples were kept secure by the drill contractor, by company field crew, the bonded carrier and analytical facility following established chain-of-custody protocols. Quality control checks were completed by the random insertion of two certified reference standards and a blank standard into the sample stream by the on-site QP. As well, Accurassay maintain their internal QA/QC program. The remaining half core is being stored on the property, and sample material secured in Thunder Bay.

Gord Yule, P.Geo., Project Manager and a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release. Mr. Yule has verified the data disclosed including all sampling, analytical and test data provided in this press release.
