Vancouver, BC - July 6, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR; FSE:
9BR)
(the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has arranged for a brokered
and
non-brokered private placement of up to 4,347,826 flow-through units of the
Company (the 'FT Units') at $0.23 per FT Unit and up to 3,333,333 non flow-
through units of the Company (the 'NFT Units') at $0.15 per NFT Unit for a
total
gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.

Each FT Unit consists of one common share issued on a flow-through basis
and one
half of one common share purchase warrant, with each full warrant entitling
the
holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50
per
common share for a period of two years from the closing date.

Each NFT Unit consists of one common share issued on a non flow-through
basis
and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an
additional common share at an exercise price of $0.25 per common share for
a
period of one year from the closing date.

In connection with the brokered private placement, the Company is expected
to
pay a finder (the 'Finder') a cash finder's fee equal to 5% of the gross
proceeds from the brokered private placement, and to grant stock options to
the
Finder equal to 10% of the number of FT Units sold under from the brokered
private placement (each, an 'Option'). Each Option entitles the Finder to
purchase one (1) unit of the Company (each, a 'Finder's Unit') at a price
of
$0.23 per Finder's Unit for a period of two years from the closing of the
brokered private placement. Each Finder's Unit will consist of one (1)
Common
Share and one half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant (each, a
'Finder's Unit Warrant'). Each full Finder's Unit Warrant entitles the
holder
thereof to purchase one (1) additional Common Share at a price of $0.50 per
Common Share for a period of two (2) years from the closing of the brokered
private placement.

In connection with the non-brokered private placement, the Company is
expected
to pay cash finder's fees equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the non-
brokered private placement.

All of the securities to be issued by the Company in connection with this
offering will be subject to a hold period, which expires four months and a
day
after the Closing Date.

The Company plans to use the proceeds from the Offering to further explore
its
properties in Québec.

The closing of the offering is subject to approval from the TSX Venture
Exchange
('TSXV'). In addition, there are numerous risks, some of which are set out
below, that may affect the ability of the Company to close the offering.
The
Company cannot provide any assurance that the offering will close, or that
any
terms set out above will not be altered prior to the closing date of the
offering.
