Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2015) - Strata Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMP) ("Strata" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed an arm's length, non-binding letter of intent with beckettbank Corp. ("beckettbank LOI"). The Company would also like to advise that it is withdrawing the private placement that was announced on March 3, 2015 and announces board and management changes.

beckettbank Corp. is affiliated with Toronto-based wealth management company, Beckett Wealth Management Inc.

The new business strategy will see the Company continue to advance the Diamond Mountain phosphate project in Utah as well as make new investments in other attractive small cap companies and assets.

Companies identified for inclusion on the index are presented to the Richmond Club, which has over 400 members including investment advisors, fund managers, analysts, private investors and members of the media.

The Company intends to update the market in the coming weeks with regard to the completion of a definitive agreement with beckettbank as well as the associated plan to raise funding for the new business.
