Vancouver, November 22, 2023 - Canterra Minerals Corp. (TSXV: CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) ("Canterra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Buchans Resources Limited ("BRL"), an arms-length non-listed Reporting Issuer, and its subsidiary Buchans Minerals Corporation, to acquire the mineral rights to several critical and precious metals projects in central Newfoundland (the "Properties"). The Properties will add 316 square kilometres ("km2") to Canterra's already substantial property position in central Newfoundland. BRL's Central Newfoundland property portfolio includes the past producing Buchans Mine, a prolific polymetallic massive sulfide mine that was operated by Asarco (and others) for over 50 years producing zinc and copper concentrate from high grade ore. The project contains a mineral resource estimate, which contemplates a potential open pit development, while also hosting significant exploration potential for new high-grade discoveries.
Key Points:
- Creates a district scale portfolio consisting of 7 resource stage critical minerals projects
- Consolidated indicated mineral resource of 1.4 billion pounds contained zinc and inferred mineral resource of 317 million pounds contained zinc(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
- Consolidated indicated mineral resource includes 251 million pounds of contained copper and significant gold and silver credits(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)
- Adds a large bulk tonnage mineral resource at the Buchans Mine (Lundberg deposit) (4) with substantial opportunity for new high-grade Zn-Cu VMS discoveries within the brownfields site
- Demonstrated economic potential through the Stantec internal scoping study (2019) at the Lundberg deposit and the historical scoping study and metallurgical test program evaluating a centralized milling of the deposits consolidated in this acquisition (2015 to 2017)
- Synergistic acquisition that consolidates critical and precious metals properties (total size of 684 km2) in the Buchans Camp, Victoria Lake Camp and Valentine Lake Shear Zone
- Canterra emerges with two drill ready projects both with prospective advanced stage high-grade Cu-Zn massive sulfide targets
- Addition of Michael Power, currently a director of BRL, as Director of Canterra, an Engineer and Chartered Financial Analyst with over 50 years of experience in the mining industry
- Addition of Paul Moore as VP Exploration and David Butler as Exploration Manager, each currently holding those roles at BRL, who combined have 60 years of experience in Eastern Canada
Chris Pennimpede, President & CEO of Canterra, commented, "The acquisition of the past producing Buchans Mine represents a transformational and complementary opportunity for Canterra. The exploration opportunities adjacent to one of the world's highest-grade past producing VMS mines are exceptional and there has been limited modern exploration despite the extensive exploration database. The addition of four resource stage projects establishes Canterra as a major resource and landholder in prolific critical and precious minerals belts and will allow for streamlined exploration and development. This is an exceptional area to explore with excellent infrastructure, road accessible projects and communities that are supportive of mining and economic development. Marathon Gold's development of its nearby Valentine Lake Project and Teck Resources' past producing Duck Pond mine both provide a pathway to development, adjacent infrastructure and a trained workforce. We are excited to begin work on the new properties. I am also very excited to welcome Michael Power to Canterra's Board of Directors, and Paul Moore and David Butler to the exploration team as Vice President Exploration and Exploration Manager, respectively."
Terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement
The acquisition of the Properties (the "Acquisition") will be a cashless transaction, with the consideration comprising (a) 24,910,000 common shares (the "Consideration Shares") of Canterra, representing an approximate 19.9% ownership interest at closing, and (b) 125,500,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Consideration Warrants") (subject to certain adjustments on closing) of Canterra exchangeable for common shares of Canterra within two years of closing (subject to extension in certain circumstances), for no additional consideration, upon the fulfillment of certain conditions set out in the definition of "Buyer Warrants" in Section 1.1 of the Agreement, and particularly that the exchange of the Consideration Warrants will not result in a Change of Control of Canterra or the creation of a new Control Person of Canterra, as defined by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Together, the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Warrants represent a total consideration value of approximately $7.5 million based on Canterra's closing price of $0.05 per share.
The Consideration Shares and the Consideration Warrants (and underlying common shares of Canterra) will be subject to a statutory hold period, expiring four months and one day from the closing.

Buchans Mine Property
The Buchans Mine Property encompasses 82.5km2 of mineral claims and mining leases and is located adjacent to the town of Buchans. This property contains the past-producing Buchans Mine that was operated by ASARCO between 1928 and 1984 and is underlain by the volcano-sedimentary Buchans Group. The property contains the Lundberg deposit, a VMS stockwork deposit that comprises a large, near-surface resource of stockwork sulphide mineralization. Lundberg's mineralization is located immediately beneath workings of the previously mined, high-grade Lucky Strike massive sulphide orebody from which ASARCO mined 5.6 million tonnes of ore averaging 18.4% Zn, 8.6% Pb, 1.6% Cu, 112 g/t Ag & 1.7 g/t Au, essentially pre-stripping a large portion of the Lundberg resource.
The total ore mined over the life of the historic Buchans Mine is estimated to be 16 million tonnes at an average grade of 14.5% Zn, 7.6% Pb, 1.3% Cu, 1.37 g/t Au & 126 g/t Ag(4). The current Lundberg deposit resource estimate is shown in Table 2.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The Buchans Mine Property lies on the north side of Beothuk Lake 35 km from Teck Resources' past producing Duck Pond Mine and Canterra's Lemarchant VMS deposit. This project has benefited from substantial relogging and digitization of over 70 years of paper data and hundreds of thousands of metres of core relogging. In addition, a recent collaboration agreement with Boliden AB, a global mining company, utilized 3D modelling of this data and reprocessing the vast existing geophysical database. This data identified several drill targets for new high-grade massive sulfide deposits outside of the existing resource base. No drilling has yet been done to test these compelling new targets.
2018 exploration drilling at the underexplored Two-Level target intersected significant results in drillhole H-18-3524:
- 1.8 m of 5.57% Zn, 0.76% Cu, 3.15% Pb, 90.5 g/t Ag & 0.37 g/t Au
- incl. 1.0 m of 8.70% Zn, 1.26% Cu, 4.87% Pb, 133.2 g/t Ag & 0.47 g/t Au
The success of drilling at Two-Level target confirms recent modelling and demonstrates the potential to discover both new high-grade in situ VMS mineralization and transported VMS mineralization that comprised 52% of the previous mining (see Figure 2). The Two-Level mineralization also represents an opportunity to add higher grade resources to expand the adjacent Lundberg deposit.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The Bobby's Pond deposit is hosted predominantly by felsic volcanic rocks of the Tulk's of the Ordovician Victoria Lake supergroup. Mineralization is of VMS type and occurs within a linear zone of quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, that is identifiable as a northeast trending and almost vertical structural zone. Overall, the base metal mineralization hosted within different facies of fragmental felsic volcanic rocks. Mineralization is open at depth where the potential for the discovery of additional Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au mineralization to the northeast, and southwest the deposit as well as at other targets within the property. These additional targets have geological and geophysical characteristics that are similar to the host Bobby's Pond deposit and other VMS deposits along the 65 km Tulks Volcanic Belt.
Daniel's Pond Project
The Daniel's Pond Project is 8 km southwest of the Bobby's Pond Project and is immediately to the northeast of Canterra's Tulks East Project. The Daniel's Pond Project covers 8.8 km2 and is underlain by the volcanic Tulks volcanic belt of the Victoria Lake Supergroup, and contains the Daniel's Pond VMS deposit, which is hosted on the limb of an isoclinal syncline. The 2008 mineral resource estimates for the deposit are shown below in Table 4. Mineralization has since been further extended to depth and has not been included in the below mineral resource estimate.
