NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES 


Newstrike Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NES) ("Newstrike" or the "Company")
announced today that it has filed on SEDAR a technical report in support of the
Company's March 27, 2013 news release, which included a mineral resource
estimate at its Ana Paula Project in Guerrero, Mexico.


The independent technical report, entitled "Ana Paula Project - Technical Report
and Initial Resource Estimate, Municipalities of Cuetzala Del Progreso and
Apaxtla del Castregon, Guerrero State, Mexico" was prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"). The Ana Paula mineral resource
estimate was developed by Independent Mineral Consultants of Tuscon, Arizona,
USA ("IMC") for Newstrike under the direction of Mr. H.E. Welhener. The
Technical Report has an effective date of February 26th, 2013 and is available
on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at
www.newstrikecapital.com. 


Richard Whittall, CEO of Newstrike commented, "This technical report confirms
that Ana Paula, which was discovered in 2011, represents a significant new
mineral resource in the Guerrero Gold Belt. The high grade near-surface and
underground potential sets it apart from many higher risk projects in less
favorable jurisdictions. We are excited that this resource has the potential to
grow within and beyond current pit parameters as highlighted in the report. A
number of key recommendations in the report are being actively pursued including
drill testing the high grade breccia zone beneath and adjacent to the cone pit.
Ongoing pit optimization studies and drill testing near surface material inside
and outside the pit periphery also have the potential to increase the overall
resource and reduce the project's stripping ratio."


Resource Estimate

To meet the "reasonable prospects for economic extraction" requirement the
mineral resource is tabulated within a floating cone pit shape defined by
applying the metal price, cost, recovery and pit slope assumptions listed below
in Table 1 to a geologically-constrained resource block model with 10x10x10
metre block dimensions. At a cutoff grade of 0.45 grams per tonne gold
equivalent (AuEq) defined by the price, cost and recovery assumptions, and with
all resource classes included, the pit is estimated to contain 44.8 million
tonnes grading 1.61 grams per tonne (2.32 million ounces gold equivalent). This
includes 2.25 million ounces of contained gold and 10.8 million ounces of
contained silver at grades of 1.56 grams per tonne gold and 7.5 grams per tonne
silver. 


Highlights include the following Mineral Resource Estimate(i):

(i) Notes and assumptions:                                                  
1. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves until they have demonstrated  
economic viability.                                                         
2. Mineral Resources are reported as undiluted.                             
3. Mineral Resources were developed in accordance with CIM (2010)           
guidelines.                                                                 
4. Mineral Resources are reported using a long-term gold price of $1,450/oz 
and silver price of $28/oz.                                                 
5. Mining costs used are estimated at $2.05/ton plus $0.02/bench below 900m 
elevation.                                                                  
6. Processing costs +general and administrative expenses are estimated at   
$17.27 per tonne.                                                           
7. Gold recoveries are estimated at 85%                                     
8. Silver recoveries are estimated at 27.3%. A silver divisor of 160 was    
used to calculate equivalent gold. (Silver is assumed to be recovered along 
with gold during processing).                                               
9. Pit slope angles are 55 degrees east-facing, 45 degrees west-facing.     
10. Blocks classified as inferred were assumed to have zero economic value  
when designing the pit. However, inferred resources in the pit were included
in the resource tabulations.                                                
11. Totals may not add due to rounding of numbers.                          
12. Resource QP is H. E. Welhener of IMC.                                   
13. M&I = measured and indicated, Mt = million tonnes, g/t = grams per      
tonne, Moz = million ounces, Au = gold, Ag = silver, AuEq = gold equivalent.
14. There can be no assurance that all or any part of this resource will be 
converted into a mineral reserve.                                           



This press release corrects a typographical error to footnote 8 from the March
27, 2013 press release. Silver recoveries should read 27.3% and not 23.7% as
originally published. 


The floating cone pit was designed with zero economic value assigned to model
blocks classified as inferred. Inferred material contained in the pit was,
however, included in the resource tabulations. Resources are undiluted and are
tabulated above the 0.45 grams per tonne gold equivalent (AuEq) cutoff grade
calculated from the input parameters listed above, in Table 1. A silver divisor
of 160, also estimated from the cone input parameters, is used to calculated
AuEq.


Data Verification and QAQC

IMC completed a data verification and review that concluded that Newstrike's
gold and silver assay data are of acceptable quality to be used to develop a
resource estimate and made certain recommendations to the QAQC program. 


Mr. Thomas H. Bagan, P.E. MBA, Vice President Project Development for Newstrike
and a qualified person under NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the contents of
this press release.

information within he meaning of applicable Canadian securities law. Material
forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to statements or
information with respect to the resource estimate and potential future
exploration and development results and results of studies in respect of the
Company's Ana Paula Project. We have made numerous assumptions about the
material forward-looking information contained herein, including among other
things, that prices of gold and silver will remain relatively stable, that
applicable permits will be obtainable and that any required financing will be
available on reasonable terms. Even though our management believes that the
assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or
information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statement or information will prove to be accurate.


Forward-looking information by its nature involves known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results to be
materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors
include, among others, the following: the inherent risks and uncertainty
involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties; the
uncertainties involved in interpreting drill results and other exploration data;
the potential for delays in exploration or development activities; the geology,
