GTA Reports 9.47 g/t Gold Over 9.0 Metres From Northshore Property

- Afric Zone returns 1.41 g/t gold over 90.0 metres

- High Grade Gino Vein intercepts include 46.4 g/t gold and 41.6 g/t gold over 1.0 metre

BURLINGTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2013) - GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) reports results from its recently completed drill program on the Northshore Property. The property is located 4 km. south of Schreiber, Ontario and is situated within the western portion of the Hemlo - Schreiber Greenstone Belt. The latest drill program was completed in late October 2013, and consisted of five holes totaling 853 metres. Two of these holes tested the Afric Gold Zone and were highlighted by a high grade interval of 9.47 grams/tonne (g/t) gold over 9.0 metres (m) hosted within a 201 m wide zone of anomalous gold returning a length weight average grade of 0.73 g/t gold in drill hole WB-13-51.

The initial three holes, WB-13-48, WB-13-49 and WB-13-50 were drilled to further evaluate the recently identified Gino Vein (see press release dated July 18, 2013). This high grade gold vein system is located in an area of sparse drilling, approximately 250 m north of the main Afric Zone and 100 m south of the historical workings at the Northshore Mine. All three holes successfully cut the steeply dipping east-west trending quartz-carbonate vein system returning high-grade intercepts of 46.4 g/t gold over a 1.0 m, 41.6 g/t gold over 1.0 m and 6.38 g/t gold over 2.0 m. All intercepts occur at vertical depths of less than 125 metres.

A summary of the results from holes WB-13-48 to WB-13-52 is as follows:

Since optioning Northshore in September, 2011, GTA has completed 11,390 metres of diamond drilling (52 holes) and has outlining the Afric Zone as a 500 x 350 meter porphyry style gold system, tested to a depth of 350 metres vertically from surface, and remaining open at depth and to the northeast. The recent drilling has concentrated on developing a higher grade core within the larger system. Additionally the newly discovered Gino Vein represents a narrow high grade opportunity.
