NEWSTRIKE DRILLS 214 METERS OF 3.0 G/T GOLD AT ANA PAULA PROJECT, GUERRERO, MEXICO

Newstrike Capital Inc. has released assay results for the first eight holes from the company’s drill program at the 100-per-cent-owned Ana Paula project, Guerrero gold belt, Mexico.

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS

AP-10-19 214.00 metres of 3.00 g/t Au and 5.5 g/t Ag
including 0.80 metre of 31.20 g/t Au and 42.2 g/t Ag
and 0.50 metre of 439.00 g/t Au and 126.00 g/t Ag
and 1.09 metres of 105.00 g/t Au and 6.6 g/t Ag
AP-10-13 24.03 metres of 2.14 g/t Au and 2.7 g/t Ag
AP-10-16 23.13 metres of 4.06 g/t Au and 6.1 g/t Ag
including 1.00 metre of 77.35 g/t Au and 14.2 g/t Ag
AP-10-17 20.17 metres of 1.53 g/t Au and 4.3 g/t Ag
All key objectives for the program have been achieved, including:

A comprehensive audit program, including a twin of Goldcorp Inc.’s drill hole AP-05-06 by AP-10-12, has demonstrated the reliability of the previous assay database.
A simplified exploration model has been drill tested that demonstrates a high degree of predictably both on strike and downdip. This model will be used for planning resource drilling and will be continuously refined as drilling progresses.
Step-out drilling has extended known mineralization from a 400-by-600-metre area to a 500-by-1,000-metre area of mineralization that remains open in all directions and at depth.
A second drill rig mobilized in December is completing a series of infill drill holes (50- to 100-metre holes) demonstrating continuity of the gold mineralization both along strike and downdip.
Richard Whittall, president and chief executive officer of Newstrike, commented: “Our initial results are indicative of another significant gold discovery in the Guerrero gold belt. Ana Paula is already an exploration success with tremendous expansion potential. I look forward to continued excellent results as we progress with our drilling program.”

Summary

The Ana Paula project is central to Newstrike’s 88,000 hectares in the GGB and forms part of a district-scale mining camp that is host to Torex Gold’s Morelos project and to Goldcorp’s producing Los Filos project.
Newstrike is currently testing a one-by-two-kilometre surface outcrop gold anomaly with coincident geophysical anomalies in the Ana Paula project, a 400-by-600-metre portion of which was previously drill tested in 2005 by Goldcorp Inc.
Drill results reported herein comprise 3,032 metres out of a total 4,529 metres drilled in 2010 in 12 holes, two of which were in progress at the end of the year. Assay results are pending for the remaining holes.
Assay results indicate that higher-grade gold mineralized intercepts tend to occur at contacts between intrusive rocks and altered sediments, and that thick lower-grade disseminated and stockwork mineralization occurs within sills or dikes, and locally within hornfels. Mineralization is associated with a series of stacked intrusions that intrude siliciclastic and carbonate sediments, a setting that is typical of the Guerrero gold belt skarn porphyry model for mineralization. A large body of mineralized complex breccia was also recently discovered at the Ana Paula project.
Results demonstrate an important potential to host multiple gold-bearing intercepts over wide mineralized intervals that show good continuity both across and down the section, with excellent predictability from a planning perspective. This, along with improving grade and thickness to the west and southwest, speaks to the large volume potential developing at Ana Paula.
Drilling is under way in 2011 with two drill rigs that started on Jan. 12. Drilling continues with the planned program of step-out and infill drill holes.

A table of all weighted grade intercepts is available on the company website together with a drill location map. Drill intercepts in holes angled at minus 45 degrees are nearly perpendicular to the perceived strike and dip, thus are a close approximation of true width; however, true width is not accurately known at this time.

Quality assurance/quality control

The mineralized intervals in core tend to be separated by barren intervals that may or may not contain narrow anomalous sections and local high-grade spikes that are not included in the calculations of mineralized intervals. Unless specified otherwise, reported intercepts are calculated according to a protocol that uses a 0.2-gram-per-tonne Au cut-off for bounding assays. Reported grade intervals are based on the original uncut assay certificates as received from the assay labs. They do not include check assays pending at the time of reporting.

Newstrike maintains strict QA-QC protocols for all aspects of its exploration programs. Sample protocols include systematic insertion of blanks and standards. Analyses in this release were performed by both ALS Chemex and by SGS. Samples from each lab were selected to be sent to the alternate lab for check assay. Samples analyzed by Chemex are picked up by Chemex personnel at Newstrike’s on-site warehouse and transported directly to the Guadalajara sample preparation facilities prior to shipping pulps to Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Project personnel delivered samples analyzed by SGS directly to Mexico facilities, or samples were picked up on site by SGS personnel and delivered for processing and analysis at the SGS Laboratory in Durango, Mexico. All samples are assayed using the respective laboratories’ certified and industry-standard assay techniques for gold and multielement packages and for overlimits; Au was analyzed by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, and other elements were analyzed by multielement ICP packages.

The drill program and all project operations are conducted under the direction and supervision of Dr. Craig Gibson, PhD, CPG, and a qualified person under NI 43-101. Dr. Gibson has reviewed the contents of this press release. Ken Thorsen, a director of the company and a qualified person under NI 43-101, has also reviewed the contents of this press release.
