Visible gold was observed in two samples in BA-11-23. The highest grade sample in this hole assayed 42.6 g/t and corresponded to a sample with fifteen (15) visible gold specks. Significant gold values are shown in table 1 below.

Intercepting veins bearing visible gold is rewarding and a result of the hard work by our geological team. BonTerra continues drilling with the intent of conducting the first ever NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation on the property.”
The Company has drilled 32 holes on this property to date and is awaiting assays from three (3) additional holes drilled to expand the peninsula zone to the west.
