STATES


Newstrike Capital Inc. ("NES" or the "Company) (TSX:NES) is pleased to announce
results of a successful exploration program on its Ejutla Property ("Ejutla" or
the "Property") located in Oaxaca State, Mexico. Three significant mineralized
structural corridors, each host to extensive gold and silver bearing low
sulphidation epithermal veins, have been identified. 


"Our exploration efforts at Ejutla confirm a target-rich environment and results
underpin the exciting potential for substantial extensions to known mineralized
systems," commented Richard Whittall, President and CEO of Newstrike. "The
Ejutla Property is located within the Taviche Mining District, an area already
well known for its significant gold and silver production." 


Ejutla comprises the 18,866 hectare Ejutla Fracc. 2 claim block, 100% owned by
Newstrike with no royalties and located 45 kilometers south of the capital city
of Oaxaca de Juarez. The Property is in the region of Fortuna Silver's producing
San Jose-Trinidad mine 20 kilometres to the west of Ejutla and Gold Resources'
El Aguila mine 25 kilometres to the east, as well as several other Canadian
exploration projects. The Company is completing a NI 43-101 compliant technical
report on the Property that will include recommendations for drilling. The
Report will be completed shortly.

The three structural corridors discovered on the Property during mapping and
sampling programs consist of a series of northwest trending fracture zones that
display important northerly and north-easterly trending splays, each filled by
mineralized felsic dikes and/or by complex sub-parallel mineralized low
sulphidation banded epithermal quartz and quartz-calcite veins and vein systems
typical of structures in the surrounding Taviche Mining District. Individual
veins vary in thickness from a few centimetres to as much as ten metres and are
separated by a host wallrock that displays extensive argillic alteration and
silicification. 


One of the structural corridors, "Las Casas", located in the western half of the
Property, has been explored most extensively to date and mapped in detail over
an eight kilometre strike length with outcrop evidence suggesting it exceeds ten
kilometres along strike and is as much as three kilometres in width. Vein
textures and geochemistry are typical of those encountered in the boiling zones
of epithermal systems or just above the boiling zone, indicating the higher
parts of the mineralized system are exposed at surface. 


This location is an ideal scenario for the preservation of potential metal lodes
at depth. Mapping is ongoing to advance the other two structural corridors both
of which exceed several kilometres along strike and vary from one to two
kilometres in width.


The Company will evaluate the recommendations in the Report in order to select
the targets and scope of work for future focused exploration programs.


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. ALS Chemex performed assay analyses reported in this release. All
samples are assayed using the laboratory's certified and industry standard assay
techniques for gold and multi-element packages and for over limits; gold (Au)
was analyzed by 50 gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, and other
elements were analyzed by multi-element ICP. Silver assays over 100 g/t were
reanalyzed by ICP methods for overlimits.

Certain of the statements made in this news release contain forward-looking
information within the 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, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the
possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be
consistent with the Company's expectations; accidents, equipment breakdowns,
labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in
production and operations; fluctuating prices of metals and other commodities;
currency fluctuations; the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated
costs and expenses; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of
financing needed in the future; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost
estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; regulatory
restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability;
competition and loss of key employees; political instability in Mexico; the
availability of key equipment; the risk of disruption from non-governmental
organizations; risks relating to our common shares and the public markets.

Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described in forward-looking information. Although we have
attempted to identify factors that would cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be
other factors that cause actual results, performances, achievements or events to
not be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are
beyond our control. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information
will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly you should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Except as required by law,
we do not expect to update forward-looking information as conditions change and
you are referred to the full discussion of the Company's business contained in
the Company's reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in
Canada.
