BONTERRA MOBILIZES TWO DRILL RIGS ON MULTIPLE GOLD TARGETS

Vancouver, BC - January 19, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE:
9BR) (the 'Company', 'BonTerra') has mobilized two drill rigs on the
Eastern
Extension Property (the 'Property'). Drilling will focus on expanding the
known
gold zone on the Property.

The Company is funded for this program thru the recently raised $2
million in
flow through financing. The Company drilled nine holes on the Property in
2010.
Of these, eight have hit gold with grades as high as 77.6
grams/tonne.
Concurrently the Company will conduct a ground based magnetic
('mag') and
induced polarity ('IP') surveys on both the Eastern Extension and the
recently
acquired Lavoie Property. All drilling, mag and IP surveys have been
recommended
by the recently completed and filed NI 43-101 technical report.

Mitchell Adam, President, states, 'We are very confident in our
properties, by
securing and utilizing two drill rigs, we aim to potentially widen and
lengthen
the established high grade gold zone. Additionally we want to test as
many
targets as possible this winter prior to spring breakup and we
envision
successfully drilling 5000 metres to start to establish a NI 43-101
compliant
gold resource on the property.'

The Company is in the process of creating a drill location map with
previous
holes drilled and with newly selected drill locations for the corporate
website.

The Eastern Extension and Urban-Barry properties are located approximately
170
km NE of Val-d'Or and 125 km SW of Chibougamau in the Urban, Barry and
Bailly
townships in Québec.

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.
