Delineation Drill Program
Drill holes AP-12-105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 114 and 115 are part
of the delineation drill program currently underway on the Ana Paula Project
that is advancing towards an initial resource estimate. Delineation is
progressing rapidly while results continue to demonstrate significant gold
mineralization in both the high grade Breccia Zone and the lower grade
monolithic breccia zone of the southeast quadrant. Further step out drilling
also continues to intersect strong mineralization in a north-south trending
corridor of lower grade stratigraphic mineralization.
Northeast quadrant infill drill holes include AP-12-105 and AP-12-108 that
tested the lower grade stratigraphic mineralization. AP-12-105 is a steeply
inclined hole that intersected the typical multiple mineralized intervals
including 23.18 meters of 0.57 g/t Au, 9.35 meters of 0.56 g/t Au, 20.55 meters
of 0.42 g/t Au, 5.14 meters of 0.45 g/t Au, and 9.30 meters of 1.15 g/t Au.
AP-12-108 is an inclined hole that was a 150 meter step out to the west and
downdip of mineralization first intersected in AP-11-28 and 29 (March 21st,
2011). AP-12-108 intersected stronger mineralization including best intervals of
3.10 meters of 4.44 g/t Au, 11.37 meters of 3.21 g/t Au and 11.59 meters of 1.00
g/t Au.
Drilling in the southeast quadrant tested a variety of targets including the
high grade breccia zone, the lower grade monolithic breccia to the south and the
lower grade stratigraphic mineralization. The strongest mineralization from this
area continues to come from the Breccia Zone delineation drill holes. AP-12-111
is a vertical infill hole between AP-11-19 and AP-11-37 (January 18th and April
20th, 2011). AP-12-111 intersected strong mineralization over a 294.13 meter
interval that does not meet the 0.2 g/t Au cutoff protocol but that averages
3.64 g/t Au and 8.24 g/t Ag overall. This interval includes 174.48 meters of
continuous mineralization of 5.45 g/t Au and 11.8 g/t Ag that also includes
105.97 meters of 8.52 g/t Au and 14.69 g/t Ag, or a 76.27 meter interval of
10.57 g/t Au and 15.8 g/t Ag. This interval includes 28 discrete samples over a
total of 32.22 meters that each assay 10.0 g/t Au or more and also includes 58
discrete samples over a total of 65.76 meters that assay 5.0 g/t Au or more.
AP-12-114 and 115 are vertical infill holes that also tested the Breccia Zone.
Both holes remain in strong mineralization where AP-12-114 intersected 57.98
meters of 2.27 g/t Au that also includes 38.91 meters of 3.14 g/t Au. Other
intersections include 31.71 meters of 2.31 g/t Au that includes 15.78 meters of
4.15 g/t Au, an additional 25.68 meters of 2.36 g/t Au and 10.30 meters of 0.53
g/t Au. AP-12-115 intersected 55.70 meters of 2.56 g/t Au and 10.5 g/t Ag that
includes 13.25 meters of 5.39 g/t Au. Other intersections include 34.35 meters
of 0.53 g/t Au, 46.05 meters of 0.90 g/t Au that includes 16.30 meters of 1.19
g/t Au and 5.20 meters of 2.97 g/t Au.
Drill hole AP-12-112 successfully tested the continuity of the lower grade
monolithic breccia at depth beneath AP-12-94 (June 28, 2012), intersecting 55.22
meters of 0.81 g/t Au and 17.0 g/t Ag and another intersection of 18.87 meters
of 1.28 g/t Au and 27.1 g/t Ag. The lower grade monolithic breccia is located up
hill and to the south of the high grade Breccia Zone.
Drill holes AP-12-106, 107, 110 and 112 each tested the boundaries of the lower
grade mineralization that surrounds the Breccia Zone. The strongest
mineralization from this group is from AP-12-112, a vertical hole testing the
southwestern boundary of mineralization. AP-12-112 intersected strong
mineralization over multiple intercepts typical of the lower grade stratigraphic
controlled mineralization, including 7.90 meters of 0.69 g/t Au, 11.65 meters of
2.06 g/t Au, 9.75 meters of 0.71 g/t Au, 23.37meters of 1.45 g/t Au and 4.50
meters of 1.52 g/t Au.
The weakest intersections from this group of drill holes are from AP-12-107 and
AP-12-110, both of which tested the eastern boundary of mineralization. Both
holes intersected weakly anomalous gold over discrete sample intervals, the best
of which was a 1.90 meter intersection of 1.15 g/t Au from AP-12-110.
The delineation drill program is continuing as planned with four drill rigs on
site. New holes were added to the program to follow up these results and to
complete the process of delineation as the Company continues to advance Ana
Paula towards a resource estimate. Deposit modelling is ongoing and until that
process is complete true widths can be assumed to be less than or equal to the
reported intervals.
Southwest Quadrant - Exploration drill program
Drill holes AP-12-104 and 113 both tested targets in the southwest quadrant that
are part of a series of new exploration holes testing the contact zone between
highly altered sediments and an altered and mineralized intrusion that outcrops
in this area. Some of the better intersections from AP-12-104, an inclined hole
drilled to the east, intersected 7.66 meters of 0.41 g/t Au, 3.29 meters of 2.91
g/t Au, 2.89 meters of 1.10 g/t Au that also returned 18.9 g/t Ag and another
intersection of 4.91 meters of 0.68 g/t Au.
AP-12-113 is also an inclined hole that intersected multiple lower grade
intervals of mineralization at depth, including 7.69 meters of 0.34 g/t Au, 5.40
meters of 0.54 g/t Au, 7.39 meters of 0.34 g/t Au, 5.72 meters of 0.69 g/t Au
and 2.66 meters of 0.93 g/t Au among other intersections. The Company will
continue to test a variety of planned exploration targets as drilling progresses
throughout 2012.
The Ana Paula Project is central to Newstrike's 88,000 hectare mineral claims
located in the Guerrero Gold Belt and forms part of a district scale mining camp
that is host to Torex Gold's advanced Morelos Project and to Goldcorp's
producing Los Filos Mine. Ken Thorsen, a director of the company and a qualified
person under NI 43-101 has reviewed the contents of this press release. 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.
QA-QC:
Newstrike maintains strict QA-QC protocols for all aspects of their exploration
programs that include the systematic insertion of blanks and standards into each
sample batch. SGS laboratories or ALS Chemex performed assay analyses reported
in this release. All samples are assayed using the respective laboratories
certified and industry standard assay techniques for gold and multi-element
packages and for over limits; Au was analyzed by 50 gram fire assay with an
atomic absorption finish, and other elements were analyzed by multi-element ICP
packages.
The reported 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 intersections are calculated
according to a protocol that uses a 0.20 g/t 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. The dip of the geology and the mineralized intersections
varies across the property and the true widths are not accurately known at this
time. True width can be expected to be equal to or smaller than the reported
intervals.
A table of all weighted grade intercepts over a 0.20 g/t Au cut off is available
on the company website together with drill location maps and sections at
www.newstrikecapital.com.
