Teras Receives Results From the First Deep Core Hole at Cahuilla Including 0.9m of 31.20 g/t Gold and 1.8m of 373.6 g/t Silver With Anomalous Mineralization to Depths of 417.9 Meters

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2013) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TRA)(OTCQX:TRARF) is pleased to announce that assay results have been received for the first deep core hole along with five reverse circulation drill holes completed in the northeast project area at the Cahuilla gold-silver project in Imperial County, California. This drill campaign represents the first phase of our current reverse circulation and deep core program at Cahuilla with the primary objective of reinforcing and validating our confidence that the precious metal-rich epithermal system continues at depth.

The Company is very pleased with the results from the first deeper core hole, CAH-303, that was drilled within the southern portion of the resource area to initiate testing of the deeper-rooted, high grade feeder zone gold/silver potential at Cahuilla. The purpose of the current drill program consists of four elements; first, to continue delineation and definition of near surface high grade veins encountered in Teras' previous drill program with the goal of increasing the gold grade and ounces within the defined NI 43-101 resource.

Second, to expand the shallower disseminated gold/silver resources at depth in areas where past drilling was terminated in significant mineralization, recognizing that many of these areas have been identified throughout the known resource area. Thirdly, to extend the shallower gold/silver mineralization into relatively untested areas outside of our current NI 43-101 resource, specifically in the northeast project area during this phase of the drill program.

Fourthly and most importantly, to search for the high grade precious metal source or feeder veins along with mineralizing volcanic and/or intrusive events, which have been encountered and developed at many similar epithermal gold/silver deposits similar to Cahuilla throughout the world.

The first core hole, CAH-303, was pre-collared to 61.0m (200') and cored to a total depth of 534.9m (1755'). CAH-306 to 310 are reverse circulation exploration holes located in the far northeast project area and results are reported in the table below:

The most significant findings from the results reported above are the anomalous gold and silver mineralization encountered in strongly silicified and brecciated fanglomerate hosting various episodes of quartz veining far beneath the existing resource from 393.2 to 417.9m (1,290 to 1,371'). This demonstrates that the Cahuilla epithermal system is far more extensive at depth than previously known and reinforces our premise that high grade feeder veins may be present within the project area.

CAH-303 also shows that the shallower high grade vein and disseminated precious metal mineralizing system extends well below the depths of the vast majority of existing drill holes. This represents further evidence that only a small portion of the epithermal system has been tested and the possibility for expanding the gold/silver resource at Cahuilla is excellent in many directions including the northeast, east, southwest, south and at depth.

Core and reverse circulation samples have been delivered to Inspectorate America, Reno, Nevada and cutting of the core with a rock saw is in progress. Chip samples from the reverse circulation drilling were collected by Mr. Paul Stubbe, Project Geologist and Manager, split on site, placed in sample bags and stored in a secure facility before delivery to Reno, Nevada. The Company also collects separate splits of each reverse circulation sample at the drill which are retained for future analyses. Core samples from the diamond drill are collected on site, placed in boxes, photographed, split in half by a rock saw and one half is assayed by Inspectorate. Sample blanks and certified standards are inserted into the sample stream at random intervals for quality control purposes.

Toby Mancuso, Vice President Project Development for Teras, remarked, "The significance of the deep anomalous precious metal mineralization is remarkable. We had always felt that mineralization existed at deeper levels and we have now confirmed this in our first deep core hole. This significantly increases the expansion possibilities of our existing gold/silver resources and potential regarding the discovery of the high-grade feeder veins. Our technical team is looking forward to receiving the remaining deep core results and conducting a very detailed analysis of the new assay and geologic data. From this comprehensive assessment, our conclusions will more confidently steer the deep high grade feeder vein exploration program to greatly improve our chances of success for the benefit of our shareholders and investors."

Peter Leger, President and CEO of Teras Resources commented: "I am very excited to share our results of the current drill program thus far. We have now established that there is gold and silver at depth far beneath our current resource, which significantly improves our chances of increasing the size and extent of Cahuilla in multiple directions. Accomplishing three out of four objectives on our first deep core hole demonstrates tremendous progress."

About Teras

The Company is focused on developing its Cahuilla project located in Imperial County, California. The project encompasses an area of at least 3 km by 1.5 km and demonstrates the potential for a large-scale, bulk mining operation consisting of altered and mineralized sedimentary and volcanic host rocks with numerous sheeted high-grade quartz veins. Teras filed a NI 43-101 compliant technical report with an indicated resource of 1.2 million plus ounces of gold and 11 million plus ounces of silver on its Cahuilla project (70.148 million tons at an average grade of 0.015 ounces per ton gold and 0.17 ounces per ton silver with a cut-off of 0.008 ounces per ton gold). The Company has an aggressive plan to increase the grade and tonnage of the resource and develop the project for future mining operations.
