BonTerra Significantly Extends East Plunge of the Gladiator Deposit by 250 Meters with 5.5 m of 70 g/t Gold

BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, US: BONXF, FSE: 9BR1) (the " Company " or " BonTerra ") is pleased to announce that it has significantly extended its Gladiator Gold Zones by over 250 m down plunge and to the east with multiple intersections of high grades and meaningful widths. Assays from an additional seven (7) holes from its 2016 Exploration and Drill Program on its 100% owned Gladiator Gold Project located north of Val d'Or, Qu e bec have been received from the eastern extension and are reported below. Drilling continues with one rig on the deep eastern portion of the deposit while a second rig has been added and is underway at the west end strike extension toward the Rivage zone (see attached longitudinal section). A number of holes are in various stages of processing ie. logging and assaying from both drills.

Highlights and Observations:

Nav Dhaliwal, President and CEO of BonTerra, commented: "On the back of our very successful winter drilling campaign that significantly expanded the Gladiator Gold Deposit to the west, we made the decision to concentrate on extending the east side and depth extensions of the deposit at a measured pace with one drill rig. This strategy has resulted in two major milestones: A major extension of grade and width eastward and to depth, and a much better understanding of the excellent continuity and predictability of the west side leading us to add an additional drill rig with the intention of proving that the Gladiator Gold Deposit could exceed 1,000 meters in strike length."

Dale Ginn, Vice President Exploration of BonTerra, added: "Our 2016 winter drilling campaign has proven that our Gladiator Gold Zones exhibit excellent continuity to the west and to depth. Our followup drill program was completed with the intention to methodically explore the eastern extensions at a measured pace over the summer months, while conducting ground geophysical and geochemical till programs over a majority of the large Bonterra land package. This summer's drilling program has matured greatly our understanding of the deposit and has given us the confidence to take a more aggressive stance on further strike length and depth expansion drilling this coming winter. The down plunge results are a further confirmation of the strength and potential breadth of this mineralized system. Our technical team looks forward to expanding this deposit to the west, east and to depth this winter. "
