INFILL SAMPLING OF BA-10-08 WIDENS GOLD INTERCEPT
BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR; FSE:
9BR) (the 'Company', 'BonTerra') has conducted infill sampling on secondary
vein
systems and zones of interest in BA-10-08 which was disclosed by the
company in
a news release dated January 12, 2011. This infill sampling has led to a
wider
gold intercept as shown below and in table 1. The originally disclosed
drill
intercept is shown in table 2. All of the infill samples have been put
into the
3D model and are being added into the gold resource calculation.
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-10-08
* 17.50 metres assaying 6.24 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 6.0 metres assaying 16.75 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 3.0 metres assaying 21.09 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 1.0 metres assaying 31.20 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 1.0 metres assaying 30.50 g/t gold
Drill BA-10-08 was drilled to the west of the series of initial five
drill
holes. It was due to the impressive presence of three (3) distinct
roughly
parallel gold zones in BA-10-08 that led BonTerra to drill further
to the
southwest still. It was there in the southwest where additional drill
holes
discovered further high grade gold in BA-11-06. This new gold trap was
named the
Peninsula Zone.

Mitchell Adam, President states, 'Our infill sampling program is
leading to
BonTerra discovering gold not only in the smoky quartz veins but
in the
secondary veins too. BonTerra is enthusiastic this is paying
dividends by
widening pre-existing zones of high grade gold. Every mineralized vein
has the
potential to add to the number of ounces we are currently working
toward
defining in Quebec.'
Geological Characteristics of the 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 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).
