GTA Reports Additional Results From Phase IV Drilling at Northshore, Includes 178.0 g/t Gold Over 1.0 Metre and 0.66 g/t Gold Over 196.5 Meters

BURLINGTON, May 28, 2013 - GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) reports results from an additional four holes (WB-13-41 to WB-13-44) completed in its current Phase 4 drill program on the Northshore Property. The Property is located within the Hemlo-Schreiber Greenstone Belt, approximately 80 km west of the Hemlo Gold Camp in northwest Ontario. The drill program commenced in mid-March and is focused on testing a number of extensions to the Afric Gold Zone, generally at shallow depths, between 50 and 150 meters below surface. To date, a total of 1698 meters has been completed in nine holes. Results from the initial five holes, targeting the East and Northeast Extensions, were released earlier in a press release dated May 8, 2013.

Highlights from the latest results include the identification of the western extension of the Afric Zone in an area referred to as the Pup Extension. Drill hole WB-13-44 confirmed this western extension and returned 0.66 g/t (grams per tonne) gold over a core length of 196.5 meters (m), including a higher grade section of 3.14 g/t gold over 13.0 m. Hole WB-13-43 drilled on the same section but 40 meters up dip returned a bonanza grade of 178.0 g/t gold over a core length of 1.0 m from a quartz vein, mineralized with several occurrences of fine to coarse visible gold. Current interpretation suggests that this high grade gold mineralization represents a faulted extension of the Audney Vein, which had returned high grade results from both previous drilling and surface sampling. Additional detailed drilling will be required to better define this zone.

* Reported drill intercepts are not true widths. At this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space. None of the reported broader intercepts required capping based on the previous established capping parameters for the Northshore Property.

** Only one sample (178.00 g/t over 1.0 m) was above the project cap of 28.9 g/t gold. Calculated averages on broader sections include core lengths up to 17 meters grading less than 0.1 g/t gold.


Holes WB-13-41 and 42 tested the East and Northeast Extensions respectively. WB-13-41 confirmed the continuity of the East Extension and intersected 8.56 g/t over 1.5 m within a wider zone of 0.51 g/t over 102.0 m. Drill hole WB-13-42 intersected 1.45 g/t over 6.0 m. A plan map showing up-to-date collar locations and drill hole traces from the first nine holes of Phase 4 drilling can be viewed on GTA's website at www.gtaresources.com.

The current drill program was temporarily suspended in early May due to spring break-up conditions and is scheduled to re-commence within the next few weeks. Approximately 800 meters remain in this program. Future drilling will continue to target the Afric Zone extensions in an attempt to increase the size of the mineralized system.

Two holes are also planned to test the Northshore Mine (Main Vein system) located 500 meters north of the Afric Zone. Previous gold production from this property was attributed to the Northshore Mine which had historic gold production of 2,411 ounces from 3,808 tons of ore, dating back to 1937. Drill testing since that time has been quite limited and the few historic holes recorded have no assay information available. This will be the first drilling done by GTA on this past producer.
