(Burlington, March 7, 2016) GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSXV: “GTA”) announces a new relationship with Stockhouse Publishing Ltd. based on Ontario’s recent prospectus exemptions. GTA will use Stockhouse’s Deal Room to access Stockhouse’s pre-cleared list of roughly 16,000 accredited investors.

An overview of how the Deal Room works can be found at Stockhouse’s website (http://www.stockhouse.com/corporate/deal-room-placements). Stockhouse is not registered as a broker, dealer, exempt market dealer, or any other registrant in any securities regulatory jurisdiction and will not be performing any registerable activity as defined by the applicable regulatory bodies.

“We are very excited about being the first resource company in Stockhouse’s Deal Room,” said Wayne Reid, GTA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Stockhouse is one of Canada’s premier online investor communities that connect active investors and small cap public companies and a strategic partner for us to work with on the next stage of GTA’s growth.”

“GTA is a progressive Canadian resource company, and Stockhouse is pleased that GTA’s upcoming Private Placement will be the first Resource financing published in the Stockhouse Deal Room. The Deal Room was created to give online investors access to quality deals, and this GTA Resources raise coincides with exciting corporate news, rising gold prices, and renewed investor interest-a good mix..”

GTA’s main focus will be on its Ivanhoe Project in northern Ontario. This project is located on the eastern extension of the Borden Lake Gold Zone trend and the eastern extension of the Porcupine-Destor fault. In 2015, the Borden Lake property was purchased by Goldcorp Inc from Probe Mines Ltd for USD$440 million. In March 2015, Probe and Goldcorp reported that the Borden Gold project currently has reported underground constrained indicated resources of 1.6 million ounces of gold (9.3Mt @ 5.39g/t) and inferred resources of 0.4 million ounces of gold (3Mt @ 4.37g/t) at a 2.5g/t gold cut-off grade. The deposit remains open down plunge.

GTA intends to carry out an exploration program, including diamond drilling at Ivanhoe to test new gold showings discovered over the past year and to further its knowledge of the property. To support that program, GTA announces a non-brokered financing of $250,000, for 5,000,000 units. The subscription price per unit is 5 cents. Each unit will consist of one flow-through common share and one 12 month warrant with an exercise price of 6 cents.
