BONTERRA QUEBEC EASTERN EXTENSION GOLD ASSAYS
Vancouver, BC - September 7, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR;
FSE:
9BR) (the 'Company', 'BonTerra') continues to receive thick widths of high
grade gold on its Eastern Extension property (the 'Property') which is
situated 170km northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec. Assays have been received
for four of the eight drill holes with assays pending at this time. The
highlight of these four holes was BA-11-29. This is arguably the best drill
hole BonTerra has drilled to date. Within this drill hole are two
distinct veins with numerous specks of visible gold observed in the
geological log. These samples assayed 114.0 and 129.0 g/t gold.
Descriptions of the continued success of BonTerra's ongoing drill program
are outlined below and in table 1. Table 2 details the locations of the
four drill holes disclosed in this news release.
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-29
* 15.30 metres assaying 14.85 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 11.30 metres assaying 20.10 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 5.3 metres assaying 41.55 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 2.5 metres assaying 88.10 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.70 metres assaying 129.00 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.70 metres assaying 114.00 g/t gold
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-26
* 25.50 metres assaying 1.19 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 5.30 metres assaying 5.43 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 2.60 metres assaying 10.19 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.60 metres assaying 38.80 g/t gold
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-25
* Several samples from the mineralized vein systems were drilled and
are shown in table 1 below.
BA-11-10A
* This drill hole was abandoned at 99.61 metres due to difficult
drilling conditions. The drill hole was re-drilled approximately four
metres to the northeast and named BA-11-10. BA-11-10 hit multiple
high grade zones at depth as disclosed in a news release dated
August 8, 2011.

Mitchell Adam, President states, 'We have intercepted numerous high grade
zones with two samples assaying over 100 grams/tonne gold. It is becoming
clear that with a greater understanding of the property our
geological team continues hitting the targets. Once all of these holes
are completed and assays received BonTerra intends to release our gold
resource calculation for the Property.'
Geological Characteristics ofthe Gold Bearing Veins on the Eastern
Extension
The target for all drilling on the Eastern Extension property is smoky
quartz veins mineralized with sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite,
sphalerite ± visible gold). Sulphides commonly compose 1-10% of the
mineralized zones and can be as high as 50% locally. Alteration is
most commonly silica, carbonate, chlorite, tourmaline and sericite. The
combination of quartz veins, tourmaline, alteration types and sulphides
is ideal for gold mineralization in the area. Sphalerite present in the
quartz veins appears to be associated with the highest grade gold zones on
the property to date.
Qualified Person
This technical content of this press release has been reviewed and
accepted by Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat., a Director of BonTerra. Mr.
Clarke is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
The drill program and sampling is being supervised on behalf of the
Company by Geologica Inc. of Val d'Or, Quebec. These are sample
results, taken from mineralized intervals of the drill holes. Depths and
lengths are core lengths and not true widths. Gold intercepts
disclosed in this news release are significant gold intercepts and not
all the samples submitted for fire assay. Samples were submitted to
ALS Chemex of Val d'Or, Quebec for crushing, pulverizing and fire-
assay for gold. Samples fire-assaying greater than 10 grams per tonne gold
are then fire-assayed with a gravimetric finish. Assay samples are taken
from drill core, sawed in half along the core axis. One half is sent to
ALS Chemex Laboratories and the other half retained by the Company for
future reference. The Company applies a full quality assurance and
quality control program (QAQC) system for every batch of samples
submitted to the lab (gold standard, sample duplicate and blank).
