INFILL SAMPLING OF BA-10-08 WIDENS GOLD INTERCEPT
Vancouver, BC - September 9, 2011: Â BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BTR; FSE:
9BR) (the "Company", "BonTerra") has conducted infill sampling on secondary vein
systems and zones of interest in BA-10-08 which was disclosed by the company in
a news release dated January 12, 2011. This infill sampling has led to a wider
gold intercept as shown below and in table 1. The originally disclosed drill
intercept is shown in table 2. All of the infill samples have been put into the
3D model and are being added into the gold resource calculation.
Primary Drill Intercepts of BA-10-08
* 17.50 metres assaying 6.24 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 6.0 metres assaying 16.75 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 3.0 metres assaying 21.09 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 1.0 metres assaying 31.20 g/t gold
* INCLUDING: 1.0 metres assaying 30.50 g/t gold
Drill BA-10-08 was drilled to the west of the series of initial five drill
holes. It was due to the impressive presence of three (3) distinct roughly
parallel gold zones in BA-10-08 that led BonTerra to drill further to the
southwest still. It was there in the southwest where additional drill holes
discovered further high grade gold in BA-11-06. This new gold trap was named the
Peninsula Zone.

Mitchell Adam, President states, "Our infill sampling program is leading to
BonTerra discovering gold not only in the smoky quartz veins but in the
secondary veins too. BonTerra is enthusiastic this is paying dividends by
widening pre-existing zones of high grade gold. Every mineralized vein has the
potential to add to the number of ounces we are currently working toward
defining in Quebec."
Geological Characteristics of the 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).
