BonTerra Resources Inc. (BTR: TSXV; FSE: 9BR)
(the 'Company', 'BonTerra') announces the completion of the first four
drill
holes on the Eastern Extension property in 2011.

Two of these four completed holes have been submitted to ALS Chemex of Val
d'Or,
Quebec for assay. The Company expects to have two more holes sent for
assay
later this week. All of these holes were drilled to extend the known gold
zone
both to the east and northwest of BonTerra's BA-10-02 which assayed
21.24
grams/tonne gold over 7.73 metres (as disclosed November 9, 2010 on
Stockwatch).

Mitchell Adam, President, states, 'BonTerra is pleased with the pace at
which
drilling has been progressing. Management looks forward to receiving
assays
throughout the winter to expand the gold zone on the property.'

BonTerra continues to drill additional holes in its winter drill program.
As the
drill program progresses, BonTerra will provide updates including
additional
assay results as they are received by the Company.

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in
accordance
with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument
