BonTerra Discovers Five Parallel Veins at the Rivage Zone, Eastern Extension, Quebec With One Vein Assaying 23.30 g/t Gold

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR) (FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company" or
"BonTerra") has received gold assays for two holes, BA-12-12 ("Hole 12") and
BA-12-14 ("Hole 14"), from the Rivage Zone on its Eastern Extension property
(the "Property") located approximately 170 km northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec.
Hole 12 was the highlight as this drill hole hit the target Rivage Vein as well
as four additional veins. The best drill core sample of the Rivage Vein assayed
23.30 g/t over 1.0 metre. BonTerra discovered the Rivage in 2011. The Rivage is
characterized by a series of parallel veins mineralized with sulphides and often
visible gold. 


Highlights of assay results for the Rivage Vein include 23.3 g/t over 1.0 metre
at 50 metres vertical depth in Hole 12 as disclosed in this news release, 204.0
g/t in a surface chip sample taken from the discovery outcrop as previously
disclosed in the Company's news release dated October 4th, 2011 and 220.0 g/t
over 1.0 metre at 200 metres in vertical depth in BA-12-10 ("Hole 10") as
previously disclosed in the Company's news release dated May 10th, 2012. When
reviewing results for Hole 10 and Hole 12, gold grades seem to increase with
depth. BonTerra intercepted the high grade Rivage Vein and four other parallel
veins in Hole 12 which is encouraging for the Company. Significant drill results
from Hole 12 are shown in Table 1 with the collar details shown in Table 2.

BonTerra recently closed a financing, and the Company anticipates that the bulk
of such proceeds will be used to continue drilling the Property. One key
component of this drill program is to attempt to connect the parallel veins at
the area of the Property which hosts BonTerra's NI 43-101 inferred gold resource
(the "Target Area") with the multiple parallel veins at the Rivage Vein
approximately 700 metres to the west of the Target Area. Additionally, BonTerra
plans on drilling a target which is situated approximately 500 metres east of
the Target Area. The total strike distance from the Rivage eastwards to the
Target Area and onwards to the eastern target is approximately 1,700 metres.
BonTerra is working to determine the extent of the mineralization in this area.


Navjit Dhaliwal, President of the Company states, "BonTerra is encouraged by the
Rivage Zone drill results. BonTerra was expecting one or two gold bearing veins
in Hole 12. Instead, we discovered five. These five veins at the Rivage Zone
share the same characteristics as the mineralized veins in the area of our
inferred mineral resource. Our ultimate goal is to now attempt to connect these
veins in an effort to update and potentially expand the size of BonTerra's
inferred mineral resource calculation. We plan on resuming the drilling this
fall."

Qualified Person

This technical content of this press release has been reviewed and accepted by
Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat., and a Director of BonTerra. Mr. Clarke is a
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Sample preparation and analysis is discussed
below.


The sample results disclosed in this news release 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
ALS Laboratories ("ALS") in Val d'Or, Quebec for crushing and pulverizing. ALS
is independent of the Company and is certified by the Standards Council of
Canada. ALS is individually certified to standards within ISO 9001:2008 and has
received accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 from the Standards Council of
Canada (SCC) for fire Assay Au by Atomic Absorption (AA) and Au by gravimetric
finish. 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 sent for assay. 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. Assay samples are taken from drill core,
sawed in half along the core axis. One half is sent to ALS 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).

Hole 12 and Hole 14 were both collared on section with Hole 10. Hole 10 assayed
73.8 g/t gold over 3.0 metres which included 1.0 metre of 220 g/t gold. Hole 12
was drilled approximately 65 metres south of Hole 10 and approximately 115
metres along strike from the original discovery outcrop. Hole 14 was drilled
approximately 40 metres north of Hole 10 and approximately 90 metres along
strike from the discovery outcrop.
