SOUTH DARLOT GOLD PROJECT- EMPEAOR STAUCTUAE EXPLORATION TARGET OF

270,000 to 1,500,000 Oz of Au.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA- (Marketwlre- January 22, 2013), Cantrallron Ore

Ltd.(CIO- TSX.V) ("Cio• or ''the Company'1is pleased to announce an exploration target of

1.7 to 4.1 million tonnes at 5.0glt to 11.5glt Au (270,000 to 1,500,000 Oz of Au) on the Emperor

structure at its South Darlot Gold Project. The exploration target was interpreted as a linear structure from historical gold workings, gold occurrences within historical drill holes,

aeromagnetic and gravity geophysics as well as results from the company's recent drilling program.

Mr Brett Hodgins, President and CEO, said "We are delighted with the results from the recent drilling program and exploration target at our South Darlot Gold Project. The Emperor structure is shaping up as a very important prospect for CIO. The high grade gold results,combined with the prospect being on a granted mining lease, allow CIO to rapidly add value to this asset through commencing an investigation of production scenarios. lbelieve this to be an important moment for CIO with high grade gold discovered close to surface, the identification of a structure which can be extended along strike and the first stage of the Barrick farm-in and joint venture ("JV'1completed. The recent drilling program focused only on the two of 31 gold targets identified within the South Darlot Gold Project area. These two targets are located within the Barrick JV area. 22 untested targets remain within the Barrick JV area and 7 untested targets remain on the 320km2 of 100-per-cent-CIQ-owned tenements. This provides CIO with the platform to grow our gold resources rapidly."

The estimates of exploration target sizes mentioned in this announcement should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as estimates of minerai resources as defined in National lnstrument 43-101 - Stsndards of Disclosure for Minerai Projects (''NI43-101.). The potential quantity and grade of the exploration targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a minerai resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a minerai resource.

HIGHLIGHTS

South Darlot Gold Pro)ect

• lnitial exploration target on the Emperor structure has been estimated to be between

270,000 to 1,500,000 oz of Au by 1.7 to 4.1 million tonnes at an expected grade of 5.0gft

Auto 11.5g/t Au.

• The Company has completed the stage 1 fann-in spend to earn a 51% interest in the Barrick JV tenements. CIO can earn an additional 19% interest (equal to a total interest of 70%) by spending an additional AUD$250,000.

• Completed Stage 1 Drilling Program with significant gold intercepts being:

o 4m at 50.3 glt Au including 1m at 158 glt Au from 43m.

o 7m at 27.1glt Au including 1m at 159 glt Au from 46m.

o 4m at 23.2 glt Au including 1m at 81.8 g/t Au from 28m.

Emperor Structure

The Companys recent drilling program oonfirmed a west-north-west (WNW) trending shear zone named the Emperor Structure. lt has been interpreted from a linear trend of historicalgold workings, gold occurrences within drill holes, as well as observations of the diamond drill core and RC chips from the recent drilling at the Endeavour Prospect. The interpretation generated from aeromagnetic and gravity geophysics supports the view that the structure extends further to the WNW ultimately causing a >1OOm displacement of stratigraphy. This gives the Structure a 2.5km strike length, a direct association with gold endowment and a favourable geologica! setting to host significant gold accumulation.

Currently, vein-hosted gold mineralisation has been modelled althe A1 Prospect, Mermaid Prospect and the Endeavour Prospect. Potential exists lo explore for extensions of this structure to the ESE as well as across strike.
The Endeavour Prospect is on the southern extent of the Emperor structure and will be the focus on future drilling programs.

Emperor Structure Exploration Target

An initial exploration target on the Emperor Structure has been estimated lo be between
270,000 and 1,500,000 oz of Au by 1.7to 4.1 million tonnes alan expected grade of 5.0g/l Au to 11.5g/t Au (270,000 to 1,500,000 Oz of Au).
The exploration target for the Emperor Structure has been estimated based on a number of assumptions and limitations which include, among other things:
• The strike length of the structure is 1,400m.
• The geometry of the Structure remains constant over their entire length.
• The model depth extent has been fixed to 150 metres (200m down dip extent).
• The average true width is 3.9 metres.
• 100% recovery and no dilution.
• The specific gravity of the materia! is 2.511/m3
• The grade range reflects the average gold concentrations utilising suitable gold top cuts.
• Tonnage range is +20% and -50%.

• Ildoes nottake into account the depth lo top or effect of dip of the models and how this may impact potential mining viability.

For the Barrick JV tenements, CIO's strategy and objective will be to evaluate the gold prospectivity and deliver on target generation and access. The Company currently has 24 targets identified on the Barrick JV tenements. CIO has prioritised the exploration on the Emperor Structure with focus on the Endeavour Prospect.
The Company has now earned a 51% interest in the Barrick JV tenements. CIO can earn an additional 19% interest (equal to a total interest of 70%) in those tenements by spending an additional AUD$250,000.
SUMMARY
The Emperor Exploration target is located on a granted mining lease that is the subject of the Barrick JV. The importance of the status of this being a granted mining lease should not be underestimated in a development context as it gives CIO a significant cost and time advantage of the arder of 18 to 24 months.
The next stage of exploration is planned to convert the Endeavour Prospect which is on the southern section of the Emperor exploration target into a minerai resource. This drilling is planned for the next drilling season, being Q2 2013. The focus of the drilling is to provide a platform to allow the project to move towards a short term production scenario.
QUALIFIED PERSON
Mr Darryl Mapleson who is a Fellow of Australasian lnstitute of Mining and Metallurgy has compiled the information within this report relating to mineralisation and the exploration target. Mr Mapleson has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity currently being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in National lnstrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerai Projects (''NI 43-101").
