Strike Minerals Provides Default Status Report

Strike Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:STK) ("Strike" or the "Company") is providing
this bi-weekly Default Status Report in accordance with National Policy 12-203
-Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-203"). On
September 19, 2013 the Company disclosed the default notice (the "Default
Notice") that, for the reasons disclosed in the Default Notice, there would be a
delay in the filing of its annual financial statements, accompanying
Management's Discussion and Analysis and related CEO and CFO certifications of
annual filings for the financial year ended April 30, 2013 (collectively, the
"Required Filings ").


As a result of this delay in filing the Required Filings, the OSC granted a
management cease trade order (the "MCTO") to the Corporation. The MCTO restricts
all trading in securities of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect, by the
Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the directors of the
Corporation until such time as the Required Filings have been filed by the
Corporation. The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders who are not
insiders of the Corporation to trade their securities. 


The Company's auditors are completing the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the year ended April 30, 2013, and the Company continues to work
towards making the Required Filings on or before October 28, 2013. Until the
Required Filings are filed, the Company intends to continue to satisfy the
provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines specified under Section 4.4
of NP 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly Default Status Reports, each of which will be
issued in the form of a news release. Strike intends to file, if required, its
next Default Status Report on or about October 17, 2013.


The Company also confirms that since the issuance of the MCTO, there have been
no insolvency proceedings against it as of the date of this news release, and
further that there has not been any material change concerning the affairs of
the Company that has not been generally disclosed as of the date of this news
release.


The Company continues to have discussions with a number of Parties that have
expressed interest in undertaking either an investment in Strike or joint
venture participation in its Edwards Mine gold project. While the Company is
actively pursuing financing opportunities, there is no certainty that a
financing will occur.
