Vancouver, BC - November 2, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR;
FSE:
9BR) (the 'Company', 'BonTerra') released news earlier today regarding
infill
sampling on the Eastern Extension property (the 'Property'). Both
previously
disclosed assays as well as newly received infill assays were used to
calculate
these amended drill intercepts. Infill sampling was conducted on previously
un-
sampled core as disclosed earlier today. The highest assays from the infill
sampling program was 2.56 g/t gold over one metre in BA-10-08. One infill
sample
in BA-11-06 assayed up to 2.42 g/t gold over one metre. As disclosed
earlier
today, gold is primarily concentrated in previously sampled parts of the
drill
holes.

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 30% 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 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).
