Teras Significantly Increasing Silver Values on Its Cahuilla Project

Teras Resources Inc.("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TRA) (OTCQX:TRARF)
Teras recently completed a silver re-assay program using a four acid digestion
technique instead of the original two acid digestion procedures used for drill
samples obtained in 2011 and 2012 from the Cahuilla project in Imperial County,
California. The four acid digestion re-assays were conducted by ALS Chemex
Laboratories in Reno, Nevada on drill samples and the results indicate that by
using this new procedure, the silver values are significantly higher than the
original assays.


A variety of pulp samples from reverse circulation drill holes from the recent
drilling program were analyzed. Samples were selected from a variety of
different mineralogies and silver grades. The samples are within the known NI
43-101 compliant mineral resource used to calculate a silver resource. The four
acid digestion procedure can more thoroughly measure silver contents and
potentially result in a higher and more accurate assay when compared to the
initial two acid digestion method. 


A total of 47 samples were analyzed and selected from many different locations
throughout the project site at various depths to obtain a broad range of silver
values for comparative analyses. The original two digestion assays were
conducted at three laboratories in Reno, Nevada including BSI Inspectorate,
McClelland and ALS Chemex while the four acid digestion re-assays were completed
at ASL Chemex. Results from the silver re-assay program as follows:

The four acid digestion analyses for all three labs combined are 41% greater
than the original two acid digestion assays, which could result in a substantial
increase in our silver resource. Future NI 43-101 reports will include the four
acid digestion assays in addition to any new drill results. Additional drill
pulp samples are being collected for conducting further four acid digestion
re-assays in order to better substantiate the percentage increase in silver
values. In the future, all drill samples will be assayed utilizing the four acid
digestion preparation methods.


Peter Leger, President and CEO of Teras Resources commented "We are very pleased
with the potential substantial increase in our silver resource at Cahuilla. The
four acid digestion technique increases our silver content significantly as well
as provides us with more accurate precious metal values which will guide us in
optimizing silver recoveries once Cahuilla is in operation. This is yet another
positive leap forward for our Cahuilla project."

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 and volcanic host rocks with
numerous sheeted high-grade quartz veins. Teras filed a NI 43-101 compliant
technical report with an indicated resource of 1 million plus ounces of gold and
11 million plus ounces of silver on its Cahuilla project (70.148 million tons at
an average grade of 0.015 ounces per ton gold and 0.17 ounces per ton silver
with a cut-off-grade of 0.008 ounces per ton gold). The Company has an
aggressive plan to increase the resource and develop the project for future
mining operations.

studies at the Cahuilla project; successful studies in mining techniques and
metallurgy; commodity prices continuing at today's prices or rising; obtaining
the necessary funding to carry out recommended work programs, exploration and
studies; and continued success in obtaining permits. Additional assumptions can
