BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE: 9BR)
(the 'Company', 'BonTerra') announces the continued progression of its
second
phase of drilling on the Eastern Extension property. Two drill holes
were
completed before Christmas. The core has been logged and is being split and
sent
for assay.
These two recently completed holes were drilled to the west of the first
three
holes which returned gold assay values up to 77.8 grams to tonne in
November. It
is the goal of the Company to focus phase two of drilling on
extending the
strike length of the known high grade gold zone. These two recently
completed
holes appear to share similar geological characteristics of the first
holes
hosting high grade gold mineralization as disclosed in a news release
dated
November 9, 2010. The Company also reports the completion of expanding its
camp
on the Eastern Extension property in preparation for significant
winter
drilling.
Mitchell Adam, President, states, 'We are enthusiastic about
continuing to
extend the high grade gold zone on the Eastern Extension property. This
is the
primary focus of BonTerra Resources.'
The Company also expects to be in receipt of a NI 43-101 Technical
report for
the Eastern Extension property once assays for the two recently completed
holes
are received in January. At this time the Company is defining its
strategy for
drilling the property in 2011 including the possibility of utilizing two
rigs.
BonTerra has chosen to employ a full quality assurance and quality
control
(QAQC) system for every batch of samples submitted to the lab. The QAQC
samples
include a standard, duplicate and blank. Geologica Inc. of Val d'Or,
Québec is
responsible for overseeing the drill and sampling program on behalf
of the
Company.
The Eastern Extension property is located approximately 170 km NE of
Val-d'Or
and 125 km SW of Chibougamau in the Barry and Bailly townships in the
Abitibi
Greenstone Belt, Québec. BonTerra's Urban-Barry property is situated
just west
of the Eastern Extension property. Neighboring companies in the
region are
Metanor, Amseco, Beaufield, Eagle Hill, Glen Eagle, Urbana and Freewest,
Murgor
and Noront. The Company has an option to earn 100% of the Eastern
Extension
property subject to a 2% NSR.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in
accordance
with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument
43-101
and reviewed on behalf of the Company by Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat, a
qualified
person and a Director of the Company.
