Newstrike Closes Ana Paula!

Newstrike Capital Announces Closing of the Ana Paula Acquisition

Newstrike Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NES) (“Newstrike” or “the Company”) – www.newstrikecapital.com – is pleased to advise that it has completed its acquisition of a 100% interest in the Ana Paula mining concessions from Goldcorp Inc. (“Goldcorp”) (TSX:G, NYSE:GG). Final documentation was signed and submitted for registration in Mexico City on June 24, 2010. As consideration for the Ana Paula Properties, Newstrike paid to Desarrollos Mineros San Luis, S.A. de C.V. (“DMSL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldcorp, the amount of CAD$1.5 million in cash and 1,412,762 common shares of Newstrike having an aggregate value of CAD$600,000 calculated at a deemed price of $0.4247, being the volume weighted average trading price of common shares of Newstrike on the TSX Venture Exchange for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading date prior to the issue date.

The Ana Paula properties comprise a total of 7,622 hectares in four discreet claims located internal to Newstrike’s existing land position and complementing the Company’s 81,000 hectares of highly prospective mineral claims in the immediate area. The Ana Paula properties include the advanced exploration stage Ana Paula Project where Goldcorp has previously identified anomalous gold at surface over a 1.0 by 2.0 kilometre area and in a similar geological setting to other deposits of the Guerrero Gold Belt.

A portion of this mineralized area was drill tested in 2005 with a 3,689 meter, 11-hole diamond drill program that confirmed the gold mineralization potential of the area. Newstrike has commissioned a technical audit and report of Goldcorp’s exploration results from Mr. Bob Lunceford, MSc, CPG, and independent qualified person under NI43-101. The Company’s report will be filed with the TSX Venture Exchange shortly.
