Strait Gold options Caribe copper property in Peru

Strait Gold Corporation ("Strait Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has reached an
agreement with Minera Senna EIRL ("Senna"), a private Peruvian company, giving Strait Gold the
option to purchase a 100% interest in the Caribe copper property in Peru's Apurimac Region.
The 200-hectare property is approximately 500 km southeast of Lima, within the Andahuaylas-Yauri
copper belt and surrounded by concessions registered to Xstrata Peru S.A. It is accessible by paved and
gravel roads from the city of Cusco and lies about 80 km west of the Company's Alicia Project, recently
optioned to Teck Resources (see news release dated December 9, 2011), which lies within the same
copper belt.
The Andahuaylis-Yauri belt hosts a number of important copper and copper-gold deposits including
Grupo Mexico's Los Chancas 35 km west of Caribe currently at the feasibility stage, Xstrata's Las
Bambas 60 km east of Caribe and Antapaccay 100 km further southeast in which Xstrata is investing an
aggregate of US$5.7 billion for development, the Haquira copper project acquired in 2011 by First
Quantum Minerals and the Constancia copper project acquired in 2011 by HudBay Mining.
Porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization at Caribe is associated with quartz porphyrytic intrusives
that are extensively brecciated. Typical porphyry-style alteration is present including secondary biotite
(potassic) and intense argillic alteration. Secondary enrichment zones composed of covelite-chalcocitebornite
and pyrite locally make up more than 10% of the rock. Historical assays of nine samples returned
up to 4.5% copper, greater than 100 grams per tonne (g/t) silver and greater than 1% zinc in the secondary
enrichment zone and up to 0.82% copper and 0.08% molybdenum in the primary sulphide zone. The
porphyry system extends across the property in a northwest-southeast direction for more than 1,000
metres and is approximately 700 metres wide.
Recent reconnaissance mapping and sampling was conducted by Strait Gold geologists as part of the
Company's due diligence. A total of 11 composite chip samples from panels of 1-4 square metres were
taken intermittently over approximately 500 metres Highlights include: 5.38% copper, 1.405%
molybdenum, 0.334 g/t gold and 63 g/t silver in one sample and 3.88% copper, 1.055% molybdenum,
0.387 g/t gold and 31.8 g/t silver in another. Five of the 11 samples returned greater than 3.3% copper.
Detailed results are shown in the table below:
"Caribe is a very prospective concession in an emerging world-class copper belt where we are fortunate to
now have two excellent properties," said Strait Gold President Jim Borland. "Drilling at our Alicia Project
is fully funded for 2012 and at Caribe we plan to complete all preliminary work as quickly as possible so
that we can begin drilling to test its true potential."
Strait can earn a 100% interest in the Caribe Property by making option payments over a three-year
period commencing upon the registration of a community agreement with Peruvian authorities (the
"Anniversary Date"). The total cost for Strait Gold to earn its interest is US$1.2 million with payments
scheduled as follows: a non-refundable payment of US$20,000 to secure the option (paid); US$40,000 on
the Anniversary Date; US$40,000 six months after the Anniversary Date; US$100,000 one year after the
Anniversary Date; US$400,000 two years after the Anniversary Date; and a final US$600,000 three years
after the Anniversary Date. There are no work commitments and no royalties and Strait Gold will not earn
any interest until the final payment is made.
The agreement with Senna has been duly registered under Peruvian law. The property is currently the
subject of small-scale mining. Under Peruvian law, small-scale mining is governed by an environmental
impact statement regime that is more lenient than that applicable to mid-scale and large-scale mining. It is
the Company's intention to obtain community and government approval to conduct exploration adhering
to the highest Peruvian and international standards.

Strait Gold plans $2-million drill program at Alicia

Strait Gold Corporation ("Strait Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report that Teck Peru S.A.
("Teck"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited, has approved an initial 15-hole drill
program on the Company's Alicia Project in Peru at a total cost of $2 million. Subject to results, a further
30 holes are planned.
Strait Gold holds a 55% interest in the property with an option to increase its interest to 100%. The
Company has granted to Teck an option to earn a 75% interest in the property by, among other things,
spending $30 million on exploration over seven years or by spending $10 million on exploration and
delivering a pre-feasibility study.
The 2012 drill program will be funded by Teck as the initial, mandatory first-year commitment under the
option agreement. Teck can earn a 45% interest in Alicia by spending $4 million on exploration before
the end of 2013 and exercising three million warrants exercisable for Strait Gold shares at $0.25 if
exercised in the first year or $0.30 if exercised before December 31, 2013. Strait Gold will manage the
program for which it will charge an administrative fee to Teck equal to 10% of the expenditures.
Initial drilling by Strait Gold in 2010-2011 targeted several outcrops of skarn mineralization within the
central area. All 15 holes in that drill program intersected mineralization with encouraging results
including: 25.7 metres grading 1.26% copper and 0.14 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 6.7 g/t silver; 33.0
metres grading 1.27% copper, 0.13 g/t gold and 7.5 g/t silver; 129.5 metres grading 0.33% copper, 0.04
g/t gold and 1.3g/t silver; and 198.5 metres grading 0.16% copper, 0.02 g/t gold and 1.7 g/t silver.
Mapping has identified five phases of porphyritic intrusion on the property. Rock sampling of exposed
porphyry defined an anomalous copper zone (over 0.05% copper in rock samples) measuring
approximately 800 by 600 metres. Soil sampling extended that anomalous zone (over 0.1% copper in soil
samples) to 3,400 by 600 metres where the porphyry goes under cover to the east, west and northwest of
the exposed porphyry.
Drilling planned for 2012 will test the property's porphyry potential. Proposed holes are oriented northsouth
on sections spaced 200 metres apart, with six holes in the central zone and the balance in the
geochemical anomalies that extend to the east and west of the central zone. Average depth is expected to
be 350-400 metres.

Strait Gold grants Teck option to earn up to 75% in Alicia

Strait Gold Corporation ("Strait Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding agreement (the "Agreement") with Teck Peru S.A. ("Teck Peru"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited ("Teck"), giving Teck Peru an option to earn up to a 75% interest in the Company's Alicia copper-gold property ("Alicia" or the "Property") in Peru by spending up to $30 million on exploration at Alicia or delivering a pre-feasibility study, making $500,000 in cash option payments and exercising the warrants referred to below. As a condition of entering into the Agreement, Teck has agreed to make a $600,000 equity investment into Strait Gold at a 100% premium to Strait Gold's closing share price on December 8, 2011.
"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Teck, a partner that is capable of taking Alicia all the way to production," said Strait Gold President Jim Borland. "This also gives us the resources to expand our efforts in Peru, which we consider the best jurisdiction in the world for mineral exploration, and establish Strait Gold among the leading exploration juniors in the country."
Strait Gold holds a 55% interest, with an option to earn a 100% interest, in Alicia which lies within the Andahuaylas-Yauri porphyry-skarn copper belt approximately 500 km southeast of Lima. This belt hosts a number of important copper and copper-gold deposits including: Xstrata's Las Bambas (about 40 km west of Alicia) and Antapaccay (about 80 km southeast of Alicia) in which Xstrata is investing an aggregate of US$5.7 billion for development; the Haquira copper project (also about 40 km west of Alicia), which was recently acquired by First Quantum Minerals; and the Constancia copper project (about 60 km east of Alicia), which was recently acquired by HudBay Mining.
Drilling at Alicia by Strait Gold in late 2010 and early 2011 demonstrated robust copper-gold mineralization in several skarn zones. Rock and soil sampling of porphyry intrusives associated with the skarns have returned anomalous copper values over an area greater than 3.4 km long and roughly 900 metres wide that coincides with geophysical anomalies detected in airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys. Results of an airborne ZTEM geophysical survey conducted during the summer are pending.
Teck will subscribe for a private placement of 3,000,000 Units of Strait Gold (the "Units") at $0.20 per Unit (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one share-purchase warrant (a "Warrant") exercisable at $0.25 within 12 months of closing of the placement or at $0.35 within 24 months of closing of the placement. The Units will be subject to a 4-month statutory hold period.
Upon closing of the Private Placement, Teck will have the right to participate in future financings to maintain its percentage interest in the Company.
NEWS RELEASE

Under the terms of the Agreement, Teck Peru can earn an initial 45% interest in the Property (the "First Option") by December 31, 2013, by:
 spending $4 million on exploration by December 31, 2013, half of which it has committed to spend by December 31, 2012; and
 Teck exercising the Warrants.
If Teck Peru earns a 45% interest, it can then increase its interest in the Property to 65% (the "Second Option") by:
 making a cash payment of $200,000 on or before December 31, 2014; and
 completing exploration expenditures of a further $2 million by December 31, 2014; and
 making a cash payment of $300,000 on or before December 31, 2015; and
 completing exploration expenditures of a further $4 million by December 31, 2015 (for a total aggregate exploration expenditure of $10 million).
If Teck Peru earns a 65% interest, it can then increase its interest in the Property to 75% (the "Third Option") by:
 completing exploration expenditures of a further $20 million by December 31, 2018, (for a total aggregate exploration expenditure of $30 million); or
 completing a pre-feasibility study on the Property on or before December 31, 2018.
Strait Gold will act as manager of the project for the term of the First Option and will be entitled to an administrative fee equal to 10% of the exploration expenditures.
Once Teck Peru has earned an interest in the Property, a joint venture company (the "JV Company") will be established reflecting each company's pro-rata interest. The shareholder of the JV Company that has the largest shareholding percentage will be the operator of the JV Company and may remain operator so long as it has the single largest shareholding. Standard dilution terms will be established for the JV Company such that Strait Gold, if diluted to less than a 10% interest, will convert its interest to a 5%dividend interest.
Should Teck Peru earn a 75% interest in the property and decide to put the property into production, it will offer to provide financing for Strait's share of capital requirements that are in excess of any project financing arranged by the JV Company.
Each of Teck Peru and the Company will hold a right of first offer or first refusal if either party wishes to dispose of any part of its interest in the JV Company, or if an offer is made by a third party for either party's interest.
The Agreement and the Private Placement are subject to regulatory approval.
All of the Company's exploration programs are prepared by, or prepared under the supervision of, Dr. Roger Moss, P.Geo., who serves as the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and is a director of the Company. Dr. Moss has reviewed the technical content of this news release.

Strait Gold outlines porphyry copper zone at Alicia,

completes airborne geophysics, plans drilling

Strait Gold Corporation is pleased to announce that recent mapping has outlined a copper mineralized zone intermittently over approximately 800 metres across the northern portion of the quartz porphyry intrusive at its Alicia property in Peru. The mineralized zone has several characteristics of porphyry copper systems, including an association with multiple porphyritic intrusive phases, clay and secondary biotite alteration and an association with strong quartz veining and stockwork zones.

The mineralized zone is coincident with a larger copper anomaly defined by values greater than 500 parts per million (ppm) based on assay results of rock chip samples of the porphyry, typically composites taken over 3x3-metre panels. (Selected results from the recent porphyry sampling program are given in the table below.) The copper anomaly defines two broadly parallel zones that trend northwest-southeast across the intrusion. The anomalous zones are believed to be structurally controlled and remain open to the southeast, and undercover to the northwest. Soil sampling is currently underway to delineate possible extensions of the mineralization under cover.

"The dimensions of the anomalous zone outlined to date and the associated mineralized zone indicate that the porphyry potential of Alicia is significant," said Strait Gold President Jim Borland. "We have multiple targets to test on the property, and this porphyry zone is a priority."
