GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) is pleased to report results from the first seven holes (WB-12-21 to WB-12-27) of the Phase 3 drill program recently completed on the Northshore Property in northern Ontario. These latest results further confirm the potential of the Northshore property to host both a large scale gold porphyry system and discrete high grade gold zones. Highlights include: -- hole WB-12-25 returned an averaged grade of 0.28 grams gold per tonne (g/t) over a core length of 344.0 metres, including 8.65 Au g/t gold over 2.0 metres. -- Hole WB-12-26 returned an averaged grade of 22.72 g/t Au over a core length of 1.1 metres and 2.83 g/t Au gold over 8.0 metres. -- Hole WB-12-27 returned an averaged grade of 0.72 g/t Au over a core length of 124 meters including 1.41 g/t Au over 40.5 metres and 31.6 g/t Au over 0.5 metres. All holes intersected wide sections of gold mineralization associated with pyritic, tourmaline, and sericitic altered felsic porphyritic rocks (the Afric Intrusive Complex). These rocks are structurally deformed resulting in a variety of fracturing and brecciation which host quartz and quartz carbonate veins and stringers. The quartz rich veins and fracture infillings are mineralized with pyrite, and lesser amounts of sphalerite, galena and telluride. Visible gold has been recognized in most of the holes and the high grade sections are often associated with these occurrences. The Phase 3 drilling program consisted of 15 drill holes (WB-12-21 to WB-12-35) totaling 4,766 metres. Drill holes WB-12-21 to WB-12-25 were drilled to test the northeast extension of the Audney Vein and the broader Afric Zone and holes WB-12-26 and WB-12-27 were drilled to test the southwest extensions. The highest assays of these first 7 holes included 47.2 g/t Au and 31.6 g/t Au (each over a core length of 0.5 metres) from holes WB-12-26 and WB-12-27 respectively. Both these high grade values were returned from a quartz vein mineralized with several specks of visible gold, and interpreted to be the faulted southwest extension of the high grade Audney Vein. Updated plan maps showing collar locations and drill hole traces can be viewed on GTA's website at www.gtaresources.com. Results from the remaining 8 holes are pending and will be released once they become available. A detailed summary of the results from the initial 7 holes is shown in the following table: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Number Hole Depth From To Interval Gold (metres) (metres) (metres) (metres) (g/t) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-21 (-50 degrees) 200 11.0 199.0 188.0 0.11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 80.0 99.0 19.0 0.22 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 15.0 16.0 1.0 0.63 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 80.0 82.0 2.0 0.84 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-22 (-70 degrees) 101 4.0 78.0 74.0 0.20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 6.0 12.0 6.0 0.72 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-23 (-50 degrees) 164 43.0 48.0 5.0 0.21 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-24 (-50 degrees) 230 9.0 10.0 1.0 7.88 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 77.0 147.0 70.0 0.20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-25 (-50 degrees) 347 3.0 347.0 344.0 0.28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 4.0 10.0 6.0 1.89 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 150.0 152.0 2.0 8.65 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 272.0 280.0 8.0 1.37 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 309.0 310.0 1.0 1.92 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 336.0 341.0 5.0 1.79 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-26 (-50 degrees) 410 124.8 394.0 269.2 0.34 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 124.8 162.9 38.0 0.92 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 130.8 162.9 32.1 1.03 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 149.8 150.9 1.1 22.72 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 150.4 150.9 0.5 47.20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 329.0 351.0 22.0 1.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 333.0 341.0 8.0 2.83 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WB-12-27 (-50 degrees) 302 125.0 249.0 124.0 0.72 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 129.0 169.5 40.5 1.41 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 160.0 169.5 9.5 1.96 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 160.5 161.0 0.5 31.60 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (i) Width as shown represents core lengths as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine true thicknesses. "Management is very encouraged with these latest results as they further confirm the presence of wide spread gold mineralization within the Afric Intrusive Complex," commented current president Peter M. Clausi. "We anticipate having all the phase 3 drilling results over the next month and follow-up drilling is scheduled to start again in the New Year. With the addition of Mr. Wayne Reid as President and CEO effective Dec 1, GTA's technical team of Wayne Reid and Robert (Bob) Duess positions GTA to move the Northshore Project forward towards a joint venture with Balmoral Resources Ltd."
