BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE: 9BR) ('BonTerra' or the 'Company')
announces that Abitex Resources Inc. ('Abitex') has optioned an additional
claim totaling 12 hectares to BonTerra. This claim has been added to the
Eastern Extension property which is the subject to the Option Agreement
dated September 15, 2010 between BonTerra and Abitex.

Previous drill holes completed by the Company were drilled just east of the
claim boundary. These holes include BA-10-01 and BA-10-03. BA-10-01 assayed
17.06 grams/tonne over 13.50 metres as disclosed on November 9(th), 2010.
To date some drill holes collared by BonTerra have surrounded the claim on
two sides. The option of this additional claim by the Company offers the
potential to drill to the west and northwest into a new zone. Recently the
Company has drilled two holes towards the west. These two holes will be
submitted for assay this week totaling six holes in the lab at this time.

Mitchell Adam, President, states, 'This optioned claim expands BonTerra's
interest in the Eastern Extension property, which offers the Company
greater flexibility in drilling and the potential for expanding the known
gold zones.'

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 BonTerra by Thomas Clarke,
Pr.Sci.Nat., a qualified person and Director of BonTerra.
