GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GTA) is pleased to announce the
commencement of a drill program on the newly discovered Exploits Zone at the
Squid East project in the Matson Creek area in the Yukon. This initial drilling
will focus on the recently reported chip sampling which returned 1.96 grammes
per tonne (g/t) gold over the entire 22.0 meter (m) trench length. Included in
this is a higher grade interval of 6.39 g/t gold over 4.0 m. (see news release
dated 6 August 2013).


A modest 400 m drill program is initially planned to better define the
orientation and size of the Exploits gold zone. The Matson Creek placer camp and
airstrip will be used as a staging point and a recently completed access trail
will be used to service the drill. In addition to diamond drilling, an attempt
will be made to further expose bedrock by mechanical trenching in areas where
bedrock could not be exposed due to frost conditions in early July.


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.


Auden Property

GTA's 100% owned Auden Property is located adjacent to the south of the Albany
Property of Zenyatta Ventures Ltd., who recently discovered vein-type graphite
(hydrothermal) mineralization while testing electromagnetic (EM) targets. GTA
announces that it has acquired an additional 58 claim units contiguous to its
existing Auden Property, which increases the Auden Property to over 27,000
hectares (1718 claim units) and that it has identified several conductive zone
targets on its central claims. GTA may continue to acquire further claims in the
area.


Advance Notice Policy

GTA also announces that its board of directors has adopted an advance notice
policy (the "Policy") in order to facilitate an orderly and efficient annual
general meeting or, where the need arises, special meeting, to ensure that all
shareholders receive adequate notice of director nominations and sufficient
information with respect to all nominees, and to allow shareholders to register
an informed vote having been afforded reasonable time for appropriate
deliberation.


In accordance with the terms of the Policy, the Policy will be put to
shareholders of the Company for approval at the next annual general and special
meeting (the "Meeting"), which is scheduled for October 24, 2013. If the Policy
is not confirmed at the Meeting, the Policy will terminate and be of no further
force and effect following the termination of the Meeting.
