Aggressively drilling a High to Very High Chargeability Anomaly to Extend
Strike
Vancouver, BC - March 31, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR; FSE:
9BR)
(the 'Company', 'BonTerra') continues to propel its Eastern Extension
Project
(the 'Property') forward by drilling on the ice as well as the land. The
first
drill hole on the ice is nearly completed on its 100% owned Eastern
Extension
Gold Project. The Property is located 170km northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec
in the
Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
BonTerra plans to drill a total of ten (10) shallow (average of 125 metres
each)
holes on the ice. Of these ten holes, a total of four (4) holes will be
drilled
into the Peninsula Zone. These four (4) holes are being drilled to
grow the
Peninsula Zone. In a news release dated February 17, 2011, this Peninsula
Zone
assayed 13.00 metres of 7.00 g/t gold (0.20 Oz/ton) including 4.00
metres of
17.02 g/t (0.50 Oz/ton). The second two (2) holes planned for the Peninsula
Zone
are 50 metres to the west to test a 140 metre wide high to very high
near
surface chargeability anomaly. This very large anomaly has never been
drilled
before.
Holes five (5) to eight (8) will aim to extend the strike 270 metres
to the
southwest of the original gold intercept referred to in the previous
paragraph.
Holes nine (9) and ten (10) will drill additional IP anomalies to the east.
Once
all ten (10) ice holes have been completed the Company will have
drilled the
gold zones along a total strike length of 590 metres.
Thomas Clarke, Director, states, 'BonTerra believes this is a
fantastic
opportunity to create a significant strike extension of the gold zones
to the
southwest. The Company is taking full advantage of great ice conditions
to get
ten holes completed on the ice before break up. The chargeability of the
zone is
very high and appears to correlate with the strike of the zone.'
