Vancouver, BC - March 22, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (BTR: TSXV; FSE:
9BR)
(the 'Company', 'BonTerra') has recently mobilized a new NQ sized
drill rig
capable of drilling to depths of 1500 metres on the Eastern Extension
property.
In addition, the Company has brought 800 barrels of fuel to the site to
enable
an aggressive summer drill program once the current phase of winter
drilling is
complete. This was done before the winter road breaks up to ensure the
Company
can continue advancing the property in the summer months. BonTerra
continues to
utilize AlXtreme Drilling of Val d'Or, Quebec for its currently ongoing
drill
program.

In addition the Company has completed drilling 7 more holes in the current
drill
program totaling approximately 1400 metres. These 7 holes have been
logged,
sampled and sent to be assayed for gold by ALS Chemex in Val d'Or,
Quebec. The
Company awaits assays for these holes.

Mitchell Adam, President, states, 'BonTerra is in the process of making
sure the
logistics of the coming spring breakup allow us to utilize the camp rig and
crew
and continue to develop the Eastern Extension drilling without delay.
BonTerra
has brought in a large rig and decided to spend over a quarter of a
million
dollars on fuel delivery alone to guarantee we can keep the drills
turning on
the Eastern Extension. The goal of the Company is to test the outer
reaches of
the gold zones with the intent on focusing on infill drilling in the
future.'

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 BonTerra. The drill program and sampling is
being
supervised on behalf of the Company by Geologica Inc. of Val d'Or, Quebec.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
BONTERRA RESOURCES INC.
