BonTerra Assays 73.82 g/t Gold Over 3.0 Metres at the New Rivage Zone on the Eastern Extension Property, Quebec

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR) (FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company" or
"BonTerra") has received exciting high grade gold assays for hole BA-12-10
("Hole 10"), the first drill hole BonTerra drilled into the Rivage Zone
("Rivage") on its Eastern Extension property (the "Property") which is located
approximately 170 km northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec. Hole 10 has surpassed
BonTerra's expectations and assayed 73.82 g/t gold over 3.00 metres. The highest
grade sample received from this drill hole was 220.00 g/t gold (6.41 Ounces per
short ton) in a one metre long drill core sample. This is the highest grade
drill core sample BonTerra has received since commencing work on the Property in
the fall of 2010. Significant drill results are shown in table 1 with the collar
details shown in table 2.

Hole 10 was collared approximately 120 metres from the Rivage outcrop and
assayed 204 g/t gold in a chip sample. BonTerra also intercepted bonanza gold
grades in a smoked, altered and mineralized quartz-carbonate vein. To view a
photograph of this mineralized high grade gold vein taken by Robert Gagnon on
March 21, 2012, click on the following link:

believes this demonstrates a potential continuity of the Rivage. This potential
continuity, on top of hitting the target at depth, led BonTerra to drill an
additional four (4) holes into the Rivage. 


Thomas Clarke, Director states "BonTerra is encouraged by the Rivage Zone drill
results, the assay of 220 g/t gold and the interception of a new vein on the
Property. The discovery of somewhat coarse visible gold at depth was the
strongest factor motivating us to drill four additional holes averaging 420
metres in depth into the target before receiving assays for BA-12-10. The area
from the Rivage northeast across Lac Barry to the primary drilling area and
eastwards further still appears to be one large target. BonTerra has confidence
in the high caliber of the Urban-Barry gold camp."


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. Sample preparation and analysis is discussed below.


These sample results disclosed aboved are taken from mineralized intervals of
the drill holes. Depths and lengths are core lengths and are 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 were submitted for fire assay. Samples were submitted to AGAT
Laboratories ("AGAT") in Sudbury, Ontario for crushing, and pulverizing. AGAT is
independent of the Company and is certified by the Standards Council of Canada
(Accredited laboratory 665). 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).
