Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2017) - GTA Resources and Mining Inc. (TSXV: GTA) announces it has engaged Stockhouse.com to assist with GTA's previously announced exempt financing.

On August 30, 2017 GTA announced an intended financing (the "Financing") of approximately $300,000, consisting of Common Units and Flowthrough Units, which included a lead order for $50,000 of Flowthrough Units from an accredited investor. GTA closed on such lead order yesterday after receiving regulatory approval.

In future tranches of the Financing, GTA will rely upon such prospectus exemptions as are available, including access to existing shareholders through the Existing Shareholder Exemption. This form of crowdfunding ensures all shareholders are treated equally and fairly.

"We had a tremendous experience with Stockhouse in our last crowdfunding effort, as was obvious from GTA's press release of May 27, 2016," said Peter M. Clausi, GTA's CEO. "We expect Stockhouse to again be able to effectively communicate our message to new and existing shareholders, resulting in another successful non-brokered financing."

Justin Meiklem, Stockhouse's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, described Stockhouse as, "Canada's #1 financial portal and one of North America's largest small-cap investor communities." He added, "Stockhouse has over 6 million annual unique visitors, allowing its programs to provide advanced tools that enable Issuers to communicate their investment message to a large, targeted and highly engaged community of small-cap investors. For over 19 years and 900 public companies, Stockhouse programs have been proven to generate results."

The use of proceeds on the Financing, as announced on August 29, 2017, is for working capital and to fund exploration at GTA's Big Duck Lake Gold Property in the Hemlo Gold Camp. Details of the highly prospective Big Duck Lake Gold Property are in the Aug 29/17 press release.
