TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/06/11 -- Carlisle Goldfields Limited (TSX:CGJ) ("Carlisle" or the "Company"), the Marcel Colomb First Nation ("MCFN"), and the Marcel Colomb Development Corporation ("MCDC") are pleased to announce that they have executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") agreement with respect to the exploration, development, and operation of the Company's projects in the Lynn Lake area of Northern Manitoba, the MacLellan Gold Mine Project in particular.

The MOU includes principles on how the MCFN and MCDC will benefit from the exploration, development and operation of the MacLellan Gold Mine Project including employment and business opportunities, and training and education initiatives. The MOU outlines potential opportunities for significant MCFN and MCDC business engagement in the development, construction and operation of the project. The MOU also reflects Carlisle's commitment to protecting the environment and wildlife and supporting the community's social and cultural practices in a spirit of continued cooperation.

Under the MOU, Carlisle recognizes and respects MCFN's Aboriginal and Treaty Rights and interests in the area of the Company's projects around Lynn Lake and the MCFN recognizes and respects Carlisle's rights and interests in the development of these projects. The agreement captures the mutual commitment of the parties to consult with one another and to maintain an open, respectful and cooperative relationship as the development of the MacLellan Gold Mine Project progresses.

"This agreement represents the critical first step in building a long-term relationship with the MCFN for the development of the MacLellan Gold Mine Project," stated Bruce Reid, Carlisle's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This MOU provides the foundation for the creation of a practical impact benefits agreement that will support the project being developed in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. It will also create business for the MCDC and employment opportunities for the MCFN for years to come."
