Bonterra Updates Progress of Gladiator Project, Quebec
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 21, 2015: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE: 9BR) (the "Company" or "BonTerra") provides an update on the newly-named Gladiator Project (formerly the Eastern Extension, Lavoie, and Urban Barry Project) in the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt of the Abitibi Subprovince in Quebec (the "Property").
In March, 2015, the President/CEO of the Company, certain investors, and the Company's geologists and drilling company made a site visit to the Property. The purpose of the site visit was to discuss logistics for the forthcoming field season, examination of core, camp installation, and general use of proceeds.
Upon examination of core at the site visit, it was determined that further analysis on the existing core is required, specifically, the host rock between the high-grade veins. This will accomplish a better understanding of the host rock potential for additional resources. This knowledge will aid in the Company's approach to exploration and update/enhance the block model which will help envision future mining scenarios. Therefore, an old core-cutting and analysis program will be implemented.
In addition to the old core-cutting program, reassay results of two diamond drillholes within the main zone (BA12-09 and BA12-11), now called the Spartacus Trend located on the West Arena Property, are still pending. Reassay is needed for BA12-09 and BA12-11 to comply with QA/QC protocols.
Mineral resource estimates are reported in the 2011 Snowden 43-101 Technical Report. The Technical Report can be viewed at BonTerra's website. Tonnes and grade have been reported above a range of gold cut-off grades:
