Bonterra Receives Ice Permits for Drill Program

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR) (FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company" or
"BonTerra") is pleased to announce that it has received the ice permits
necessary to proceed with the upcoming drill program at its 100% owned Eastern
Extension Property, in Val D'Or, Quebec. As the Company works to expand upon
previous drilling and the NI 43-101 resource, drilling will proceed to the west,
where gold mineralization is open along strike. A shallow lake of about 6-8 feet
deep covers the new target area, making it straightforward for drilling on ice
in the winter months.


"The drillers are ready to proceed with our planned drill program, now that the
ice permits are in place," explained Nav Dhaliwal, CEO of Bonterra. "Our
geologic team sees magnetic highs combined with IP anomalies in this new target
area very similar to the ones showing in our current resource estimate, so we
are excited to continue drilling along strike to expand upon the Eastern
Extension property."


Eastern Extension Property

The Eastern Extension Property sits on a large NE-SW deformation corridor in the
Urban-Barry area on the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. This large-scaled shear zone
crosses a mafic lava flow series interbedded with gabbro sills. The discovery
made by Bonterra in 2012, known as the Rivage zone ( 73 grams per tonne Au over
3 metres; 23 grams per tonne Au over 1 metre), highlights the presence of
secondary mineralized trends indicating the potential to explore up to 5
kilometres of deformation zone on the Eastern Extension and Urban-Barry
Properties.


The economic potential is based on high grade mineralized quartz veins such as
mesothermal lode gold deposits. These veins are related to the deformation
corridor with nearby late felsic intrusive plugs. The deformation zone is well
identified by a strong schistosity and a typical sericitic alteration.


The Eastern Extension peninsula deposit constitutes eight continuous
quartz-tourmaline tension veins. These veins bear free gold, sphalerite, galena
and chalcopyrite. The IP and high magnetic anomalies and the anomalous grades in
the historical holes (Performed by Abitex in 1998) show strong potential to
pursue the gold bearing body to the west.

defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects, and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news
release.


About BonTerra Resources

BonTerra is a Canadian exploration company, with a large land package spanning
three gold properties in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Quebec. The
current exploration program is focused on the Eastern Extension property, to
expand the drill defined high-grade gold zones and the recent NI 43-101 resource
estimate of 492,000 ounces gold at an average grade of 3.53 grams per tonne
gold. The three gold properties: Eastern Extension, Lavoie and Urban-Barry, are
located in a mining-friendly, gold-rich area just 170 kilometres northeast of
Val-d'Or, Quebec. The highly focused management and geologic teams hold
extensive knowledge of the area and recognize the necessary steps for
advancement.
