Teras Resources Inc. Provides Cahuilla Project Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 2, 2012) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TRA) (OTCQX:TRARF) is pleased to announce that it has received the Draft NI 43-101 report from Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada on September 29, 2012. Management is reviewing the report in detail and is working closely with Mine Development Associates in preparing the final report prior to release of any summary of report. As an example, there are approximately 25 additional holes reported in previous company news releases that have not been included into the current NI 43-101 resource report as they were drilled after the report was initiated and Teras will review if these should be included in current report.

The current drilling campaign had several purposes: to verify and confirm the historic drill results, to complete infill drilling within areas of known resource to confirm continuity of mineralization, and to expand the resource. The more recent drilling has focused on expanding the known mineralization into areas with minimal drilling. An aerial photo of the Cahuilla project illustrates the locations of drill holes by Teras as well as historical drill holes. The photo illustrates the infill drilling and that much of the mineralized project area has not yet been drilled for resource development. Gold has been encountered in historic drilling throughout the entire extent of the Cahuilla project and the exploration/development potential remains excellent in all directions south of the Modoc fault and at depth.

Even though the Company can continue to expand gold/silver mineralization within our current permitted boundary, we have initiated permitting for Phase III to expand drilling into the other historical areas with positive drill and geochemical sample results. Historical drill results circled in green play a strategic role in expanding the mineralized footprint as we move forward.

Historic, wide-spaced drilling that is situated in the far western project area; (approximately 1 kilometer west of the current permit boundary) intersected gold values as high as 4 g/t over 1.5m in addition to 25m of greater than 0.5 g/t. In the southwestern sinter terrace area within the permitted boundary, one drill hole encountered 18m of 3.6 g/t with a high value of 9.6 g/t over 1.5m and another hole hit 1.5m of 24g/t gold. In the far eastern portion of Cahuilla, holes that were drilled in the pediment intersected gold values as high as 3.4 g/t over 1.5m in strongly silicified sediments that extend underneath the shallow gravel cover. Historic and recent geochemical sampling along the greater that 3 km extent of the Modoc Fault has produced numerous gold and silver anomalies that remain completely untested. The Cahuilla project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple high grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization.

About Teras

The Company is focused on developing its Cahuilla project located in Imperial County, California. The project encompasses an area of at least 3 km by 1.5 km and demonstrates the potential for a large-scale, bulk mining operation consisting of altered and mineralized sedimentary host rocks with numerous sheeted high grade quartz veins. Grades of the host rock are equivalent to grades of gold reserves at New Gold's Mesquite Mine, also in Imperial County, California (0.56 g/t; Mineral Reserves and Resources Summary as of December 31, 2011; New Gold website). Teras will continue drilling at Cahuilla to define a gold resource complaint to the standards required for a new NI 43-101 resource report and continue developing a gold resource for future extraction.
