BONTERRA QUEBEC EASTERN EXTENTION GOLD ASSAYS
Vancouver, BC - September 7, 2011: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR; FSE:
9BR) (the "Company", "BonTerra") continues to receive thick widths of high grade
gold on its Eastern Extension property (the "Property") which is situated 170km
northeast of Val d'Or, Quebec. Assays have been received for four of the eight
drill holes with assays pending at this time. The highlight of these four holes
was BA-11-29. This is arguably the best drill hole BonTerra has drilled to date.
Within this drill hole are two distinct veins with numerous specks of visible
gold observed in the geological log. These samples assayed 114.0 and 129.0 g/t
gold. Descriptions of the continued success of BonTerra's ongoing drill program
are outlined below and in table 1. Table 2 details the locations of the four
drill holes disclosed in this news release.
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-29
* 15.30 metres assaying 14.85 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 11.30 metres assaying 20.10 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 5.3 metres assaying 41.55 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 2.5 metres assaying 88.10 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.70 metres assaying 129.00 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.70 metres assaying 114.00 g/t gold
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-26
* 25.50 metres assaying 1.19 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 5.30 metres assaying 5.43 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 2.60 metres assaying 10.19 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 0.60 metres assaying 38.80 g/t gold
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-11-25
* Several samples from the mineralized vein systems were drilled and are shown
in table 1 below.
BA-11-10A
* This drill hole was abandoned at 99.61 metres due to difficult drilling
conditions. The drill hole was re-drilled approximately four metres to the
northeast and named BA-11-10. BA-11-10 hit multiple high grade zones at
depth as disclosed in a news release dated August 8, 2011.

Mitchell Adam, President states, "We have intercepted numerous high grade zones
with two samples assaying over 100 grams/tonne gold. It is becoming clear that
with a greater understanding of the property our geological team continues
hitting the targets. Once all of these holes are completed and assays received
BonTerra intends to release our gold resource calculation for the Property."
Geological Characteristics ofthe Gold Bearing Veins on the Eastern Extension
The target for all drilling on the Eastern Extension property is smoky quartz
veins mineralized with sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite ±
visible gold). Sulphides commonly compose 1-10% of the mineralized zones and can
be as high as 50% locally. Alteration is most commonly silica, carbonate,
chlorite, tourmaline and sericite. The combination of quartz veins, tourmaline,
alteration types and sulphides is ideal for gold mineralization in the area.
Sphalerite present in the quartz veins appears to be associated with the highest
grade gold zones on the property to date.
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.
The drill program and sampling is being supervised on behalf of the Company by
Geologica Inc. of Val d'Or, Quebec. These are sample results, taken from
mineralized intervals of the drill holes. Depths and lengths are core lengths
and not true widths. Gold intercepts disclosed in this news release are
significant gold intercepts and not all the samples submitted for fire assay.
Samples were submitted to ALS Chemex of Val d'Or, Quebec for crushing,
pulverizing and fire-assay for gold. Samples fire-assaying greater than 10 grams
per tonne gold are then fire-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 Chemex Laboratories and the other half retained by the Company for future
reference. The Company applies a full quality assurance and quality control
program (QAQC) system for every batch of samples submitted to the lab (gold
standard, sample duplicate and blank).
