Newstrike and Queenston JV Report First Phase Drill Results from

Kirkland Lake, Ontario

November 26, 2009, Toronto, Ontario…. Newstrike Resources Ltd. (NR‐TSXV) ("Newstrike") and Queenston Mining Inc. (QMI‐Toronto, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin) ("Queenston") are pleased to announce results from the first phase drilling program on the jointly held (50%‐50%) Commodore property located in Lebel Township, Kirkland Lake, Ontario.

Four holes totaling 851 m have been completed targeting the HG Zone discovered by previous owners, Sudbury Contact Mines in 1995. The HG Zone is represented by a single drill hole, Egg‐04, which intersected visible gold in a quartz vein that assayed 43.5 g/t Au over 1.5 m. All four new holes completed by the JV intersected gold mineralization believed to be associated with the HG Zone. The best interval is reported in hole COM‐09‐04, drilled 50 m west of the HG Zone, assaying 4.5 g/t Au over 7.8 m including a 5.0 m interval assaying 6.3 g/t Au containing 14.9 g/t Au over 1.0 m. The intersection in COM‐09‐04 occurred at the bottom of the hole indicating the mineralization remains open to depth. Hole COM‐09‐01 drilled 50 m below the HG Zone intersected a broad interval assaying 0.6 g/t Au over 19.9 m. Approximately 50 m above HG, hole COM‐09‐03 intersected an interval assaying 0.7 g/t Au over 12.7 m including a 1.0 m interval assaying 4.8 g/t Au. East of HG, hole COM‐09‐02 intersected a 1.0 m interval assaying 2.1 g/t Au.
Details of the assay results are outlined in the table below.

Note: Intervals reported are core lengths as true widths have not been determined.

The new drilling has expanded the HG Zone to a gold bearing system measuring 100 m x 100 m centered at a depth of 75 m and open in all directions. The gold mineralization encountered in the drilling occurs in an altered trachyte horizon that occurs along the Upper Canada Break, a gold structure that crosses the property for 3 km and hosts the Commodore deposit 1,500 m to the east. The Commodore deposit was discovered by Sudbury Contact Mines in 1995 and contains a shallow, historic mineral resource of 669,500 t grading 2.4 g/t Au including
278,500 t grading 3.8 g/t Au. The resource was calculated by W.A. Hubacheck Consultants Limited in a report dated January 1997 filed with the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. This resource is not compliant to National Instrument 43‐101 and should not be relied upon as it has not been verified by a qualified person under these guidelines.
The Commodore property contains 57 mineral claims covering seven kilometers of a favourable assemblage of Timiskaming rocks that elsewhere in the camp hosts the historic 24 million ounce Kirkland Lake Main Break gold deposits, 8 km to the west and the 1.5 million ounce Upper Canada gold mine, 3 km to the east. The property also hosts the Morris mine that historically produced approximately 17,000 ounces of gold and 29,300 ounces of silver from 1936‐1941.

The ongoing exploration program forms part of the $530,000 budget that was initiated in October 2009 and includes 3,800 m of drilling. Currently, the drill rig is targeting the Commodore deposit prior to returning to the HG Zone where hole COM‐09‐04 and COM‐09‐01 will be deepened prior to stepping‐out along the zone to the west and at depth.
As operator of the Commodore JV, the design of the program, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is under the control of Queenston's geological staff including qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43‐101 and industry best practices. The program is supervised by Queenston geologist, Gerhard Meyer, P.Geo. A detailed review of Queenston's QA/QC procedures is filed in the
2008 Annual Information Form on SEDAR. The drill core is logged and split with half‐core samples shipped to Polymet Laboratories of Cobalt, Ontario and analyzed employing the appropriate gold fire assaying technique. For QA/QC purposes the Company as well as the lab submits standards and blanks every 25 samples. Approximately
5% of sample rejects and/or pulps are sent to other laboratories for check assaying.
