GTA Resources and Mining Inc.: Drill Results of 1.54 g/t Gold and 114 g/t Silver Over 21 Meters from Yukon Program

GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) announces that final assay
results have been received from its recently completed four hole (428 meter)
drill program at the Exploits Zone on the Squid East Project in the Yukon. The
recent results show the new zone to have significant gold and silver
mineralization returning assay results up to 1.54 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold
(Au) and 114 g/t silver (Ag) and 0.31% lead (Pb) over 21 meters (m) in hole
SE13-002. This hole also contained a higher grade zone of 2.43 g/t Au and 185
g/t Ag and .47% Pb over 12 meters. 


The drilling program focused on results from a previously completed trenching
program (see news release: Sept. 12, 2013), and a strong northwest trending gold
plus pathfinder element soil anomaly. The program was designed to obtain a
better understanding of the geometry and style of mineralization at the Exploits
Zone. The initial three holes appear to have all collared in the zone and the
fourth hole, which was drilled in the opposite direction, was drilled down dip
and remained in the interpreted footwall for its entire length. A table of
significant results is shown below:

The trenching and drilling carried out over the past season was intended to find
a bedrock source to the strong gold plus pathfinder soil anomaly defined in
2012. Results to date indicate that the trenching and drilling may have clipped
the eastern side of a gold-silver alteration system which is wide open for
expansion. The intersected mineralization is completely oxidized and the
combined gold and silver values make this zone somewhat unique in the White Gold
District. A follow-up drill program is being contemplated for 2014.


All split core samples were sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. located in
Vancouver, B.C. The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard fire
assay with an atomic absorption finish and the lead assays were fire assayed
with an ICP finish. As part of GTA's QAQC protocol, approximately 10% of the
samples submitted for assay were also sent for check assays. Standards and
blanks were inserted randomly into the sample shipments as part of the sampling
protocol.


GTA can earn an initial 51% interest in the Squid East property from Metals
Creek Resources Corp. ("MEK") and can increase its interest to 70% as previously
announced in a press release dated 12 January 2013. MEK will be the operator
during the initial earn-in period. 


MEK staked the Yukon properties in February, 2011 and has a 100% interest in
four separate claim blocks (242 claims) within the White Gold District. The
Squid East claims are located proximal to the Matson Creek placer gold
operations, approximately 90km southwest of Dawson City. A four wheel drive
access road and airstrip service the placer camp and MEK's current field work
availed of the placer camp airstrip, accommodations and equipment to help carry
out the program. During the trenching program, a six km access trail was
completed from the Matson Creek four wheel drive road to the target area, making
access more cost effective.
