BonTerra Intercepts Two Mineralized Structures in the First Hole Drilled Into the Rivage Vein, Eastern Extension

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR) (FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company",
"BonTerra") announces the continued progression of its third phase of drilling
on the Eastern Extension property. In addition to the initial five completed
holes reported earlier, BonTerra has completed four more holes on the Property.
The core from these four latest holes is currently being logged and sawed to be
submitted to AGAT Labs ("AGAT") to be assayed for gold and base metals. One of
these four holes was drilled into the Rivage Zone ("Rivage"). The Rivage is
situated 700 metres to the southwest of the primary drilling area and a chip
sample taken from outcrop of the Rivage vein in the fall of 2011 assayed 204
grams/tonne ("g/t") gold. The Rivage mineralization, like the high grade vein
700 metres to the northeast generally includes visible gold, pyrite,
chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The combination of visible gold and sphalerite
within smoked and altered quartz veins is of utmost importance for the discovery
of bonanza gold grades on the Property. The characteristics of the Rivage appear
to be identical to the high grade vein that BonTerra has been drilling 700
metres to the northeast. 


The discovery of both sphalerite and visible gold in drill core at 190 metres
below the surface in BA-12-10 has inspired BonTerra to continue drilling this
area. A second mineralized structure approximately 15 metres in width was
discovered in the same drill hole at the Rivage. This second and deeper zone
ranges from 255 to 270 vertical metres below the surface. This second zone
contains 5% sulphides (pyrrhotite + pyrite + chalcopyrite) at the lower contact
of the gabbro intrusion. Mineralized zones in the Rivage have been discovered at
the surface (204 g/t gold), at 190 metres and now 270 metres below the surface.
Due to the prospective nature of the first hole drilled into the Rivage, a
second hole is being drilled underneath it to try and trace the Rivage to even
greater vertical depths. BonTerra continues drilling the Rivage with the goal of
expanding this new zone. Incorporating the Rivage Zone will expand the strike
length of the Property to approximately 1,250 metres. 


In addition to the potential 1,250 metre strike length the Rivage would create,
management believes there is potential to add yet another 500 metres of strike
to the northeast for a total of 1,750 metres based on the presence of a
historical drill hole drilled in 1998 by Xemac Resources ("Xemac"). This
historical drill hole is collared approximately 500 metres to the east of the
current drilling area. The highest grade sample taken from this historical drill
hole (non NI 43-101 Compliant) assayed 89.73 ("g/t") gold over 0.61 metres
within a zone assaying 12.2 g/t gold over 4.60 metres. A qualified person has
not done sufficient work to verify the historical samples. BonTerra is not
relying on the historical results. The historical results may not be indicative
of future results on the Property. Management plans to drill this eastern target
to verify and upgrade historical results and to determine the presence of
mineralized zones, if any, and whether the eastern target may contain results
similar to those being discovered half a kilometre to the west. 


Navjit Dhaliwal, President states "This property continues to reward us as
BonTerra has advanced it from one of historical merit to one of great value in a
year and a half. Hitting two mineralized zones in our first exploration hole
into the Rivage Zone, with one of these two zones containing visible gold
exceeded BonTerra's expectations. As a result of the success of this drill hole,
BonTerra is planning on drilling two more holes into this structure. When
examining the geology of the Property, we have what appears to be an example of
Abitibi high-grade gold mineralization. We are optimistic about the future as
BonTerra works towards a gold resource calculation and have numerous holes being
assayed at this time."

current expectations involving a number of risks and uncertainties and are not
guarantees of future performance of the Company, such as the statement that: (i)
the Rivage may be traced to greater vertical depths (ii) there is potential to
add another 500 metres of strike to the northeast for a total of 1,750 metres
(iii) there is potential for further expansion to the northwest (iv) management
believes the eastern target appears to echo what is being discovered half a
kilometre to the west and BonTerra plans to drill the eastern target to validate
this hypothesis in the future (v) BonTerra is planning on drilling two more
holes into the Rivage Zone (vi) BonTerra is working towards a gold resources
calculation. There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results and the Company's plans and objectives to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking information, including: (i) adverse market
conditions; (ii) delays with respect to drill results or preparation of a
resource calculation; (iii) the chip sample results and historical results are
not representative of future results on the Property, and (iv) general
uncertainties with respect to mineral exploration in general. Actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
information. These and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking
information are based on estimates and opinions of management on the dates they
