Strike Graphite Corp. ("the Company" or "Strike") (TSX VENTURE:SRK) is pleased
to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire an 80% undivided
interest in approximately 1.25 million acres (505,000 hectares) of mineral
claims located within east-central Saskatchewan (the "Sask Craton Property"). In
addition, it has concurrently entered into a separate agreement to acquire 80%
of a contiguous property (the "Sask Craton North Property") totaling
approximately 92,450 acres (37,400 ha). The Sask Craton Property and the Sask
Craton North Property comprise the largest mineral tenure position in the
emerging diamond district established by the recent discovery of diamondiferous
kimberlite within the Pikoo Property by North Arrow Minerals Inc. ("North
Arrow") and Stornoway Diamond Corp ("Stornoway"). 


"This major land package located within the central parts of the Sask Craton
provides the shareholders of Strike with an exceptional opportunity to explore
for and discover kimberlites within what is considered an underexplored region,
which is highly prospective for diamonds. By structuring deals without any
minimum exploration requirements or upfront cash, Strike has provided itself
with significant flexibility to advance these projects," stated Geoff Balderson,
President & CEO of Strike.

About the Sask Craton Properties

The area is underlain at depth by the Sask Craton, which is interpreted to
exceed 100,000 square kilometers and extends for 200 kilometers along strike;
while it is transected by the regional Tabbenor Fault System. This long lived,
regional feature extends for over 1500 km along an approximate north-south
orientation. The Company believes this tectonic environment to be ideal for the
emplacement of kimberlite, within an area underlain by a favorable basement
terrane. Other notable kimberlite fields within the Sask Craton include those at
Candle Lake and Fort a la Corne.


During 2013, North Arrow conducted a limited drill program to test two distinct
kimberlite indicator mineral trains on their adjoining Pikoo Property. North
Arrow's November 5, 2013 press release characterized the PK 150 kimberlite which
returned 745 diamonds larger than 0.106 from 209.7 kg of drill core. The
estimated grade for diamonds greater than 0.85 mm was 1.34 carats per tonne.
Based on three holes, the kimberlite has approximate dimensions of 75 m along
strike by 10 to 15 meters wide, and is open along strike and at depth.


Terms of the Sask Craton Property Agreement are as follows:



--  1,000,000 common shares to one of the vendors; 
--  1,000,000 share purchase warrants, each warrant exercisable into one
    common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for
    a period of 3 years for the date of issue; 
--  Cash payments beginning November 1, 2014 and extending through February
    1, 2016, totalling $553,028.30; 
--  The Vendors shall retain a 20% carried interest up to, but not
    including, mine construction, as well as a 3% gross royalty.



Terms of the North Sask Property Agreement are as follows:



--  449,145 common shares to the vendors; 
--  The Vendors shall retain a 20% carried interest up to, but not
    including, mine construction, and a 3% gross royalty.



Both the Sask Craton Property and the Sask Craton North Property acquisitions
are subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.


Mineralization on the Pikoo Property is not necessarily indicative of
mineralization on the Sask Craton and Sask Craton North properties.

assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved
or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized; production rates and
capital and other costs may vary significantly from estimates; unexpected
geological conditions; delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary
permits and approvals from government authorities; all phases of a mining
business present environmental and safety risks and hazards and are subject to
environmental and safety regulation, and rehabilitation and restitution costs;
