BonTerra Assays Multiple Gold Zones, Eastern Extension Property, Quebec

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR) (FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company",
"BonTerra") has received the first assays for the 2012 drill program on its 100%
owned Eastern Extension property (the "Property") situated approximately 170 km
northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec. The highlight of the first batch of assays was
hole BA-12-02. This hole was drilled on the ice and is characterized by a series
of gold zones, one as thick as 19 metres in length assaying approximately one
gram per tonne ("g/t") of gold. This zone included one sample assaying 10.20 g/t
gold. Assays continue to exhibit smoked quartz veins hosting gold. Significant
drill intercepts are outlined in table 1. The collar details of each drill hole
disclosed are outlined in table 2.


BonTerra now awaits the first assays from the Rivage Zone as well as the
anticipated resource calculation being conducted by Snowden.

Navjit Dhaliwal, President states, "The second drill hole of 2012 continues to
encourage BonTerra and further outlines the high caliber of the Property. Our
team has wanted to drill a hole in this area for some time now and favourable
ice conditions allowed us to drill this target this past March. This hole is yet
another "text book example" of vein hosted gold in the Abitibi, commonly
intersected on the Eastern Extension. Holes like this encourage us to keep
drilling and to advance this exciting property forward to its first anticipated
NI 43-101 resource calculation which is in the final stages of completion by
Snowden."

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.


These are sample results are taken from mineralized intervals of the drill
holes. Depths and lengths are core lengths and not true widths and possibly down
dip at times or otherwise non perpendicular. The gold intercepts disclosed in
this news release are significant gold intercepts and not all the samples
submitted for fire assay. Samples were submitted to AGAT Laboratories ("AGAT")
in Sudbury, Ontario for crushing, and pulverizing. The samples crushed to 75%
passing 2 mm and split to 250 grams. The crushed sample is then pulverized to
85% passing 75 um. Once the sample preparation is complete they are shipped to
AGAT's head office in Mississauga, Ontario for analysis. Fifty gram samples are
fire assayed with ICP finish. All samples assaying greater than 10 g/t gold are
then re-assayed with a gravimetric finish and by metallic screen with a fire
assay finish. Assay samples are taken from drill core, sawed in half along the
core axis. One half is sent to AGAT and the other half retained by the Company
for future reference. BonTerra retains coarse rejects and pulps in a secure
facility. The Company applies a full quality assurance and quality control
program (QAQC) system for every batch of samples submitted to the lab (gold
standard, field sample duplicate and blank).
