GTA Resources and Mining Inc.: Silver Results Enhance New Gold Discovery on Squid East Property in the White Gold District, Y...

GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) is pleased to announce that
final assay results for silver have been received for trench samples from its
Squid East Project in the Yukon. A previous release (see press release dated 06
August 2013) had outlined the gold results from the "Exploits Zone" trench,
however the silver results were delayed. The recent results show the new zone to
have significant silver mineralization with a final composite across the zone of
1.96 grammes per tonne (g/t) Au and 160.5 g/t Ag over 22 meters. This trench
also contained a higher grade zone of 6.39 g/t Au and 513.5 g/t Ag over 4.0
meters.


The trenching program focused on a strong northwest trending gold plus
pathfinder element soil anomaly. Bedrock mapped in the trenches consisted of
heavily bleached and weathered broken rock which is considered to be in place
and is typical for the White Gold district. The host rock to the gold
mineralization consists of sericite schist with local quartz veining, and local
hematite alteration. A follow-up drill program consisting of 428 meters in four
holes has recently been completed, however assays are pending.


All chip samples were sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd located in
Vancouver, B.C. The precious metals assays were analyzed utilizing a standard
fire assay with an atomic absorption finish and lead assays were fire assay with
ICP finish.


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. 


The Squid East property was initially staked in February, 2011 and is 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 the current field work availed of the placer camp airstrip,
accommodations and equipment to help carry out the 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.


Robert Duess, P. Geo, VP Exploration for GTA and a qualified person as defined
in National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for this release, and supervised
the preparation of the information forming the basis for this release.
