Bonterra Extends New South Zone to 600 m Below Surface; Drilling
Intersects 3.8m of 12.0 g/t Au
Vancouver, BC – July 20, 2017 : Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, US: BONXF, FSE :
9BR1) (the “ Company ” or “ Bonterra ”) is pleased to announce that the current resource
development program in and around the Gladiator Gold Deposit has successfully further extended
the newly discovered South Gold Zone (see release d ated June 6, 2017) by over 300 meters to
depth. Drill hole BA-17-22 , the first hole collared from the south island loc ation (hanging wall)
intersected 3.8 meters of 12 g/t at 600 meters below surface. Additional results ha ve also been
received which also considerably extend to depth the Main and North zones.
Highlights and Observations:
• Hole BA-17-22 extends to depth by over 300 meters the new South Zone with 3.8 meters
of 12.0 g/t at 600 meters below surface. This is the first int ersection from the south island
location series of holes that allow for deeper drilling from a southern hanging wall location.
This hole is also anticipated to cut through the ot her known Gladiator zones at depth, and
assays are pending for these remaining zones.
• Hole BA-17-15 extends the Main zone to depth from previous drilling with 4.0 meters of
9.1 g/t at 700 meters below surface.
• Hole BA-17-21 has deepened the North Zone to nearly 500 meters o r greater for below
surface with 3.0 meters of 21.5 g/t .
• Continuity of mineralization is now confirmed over a total drilled strike length (to date) on
at least two horizons (Main and Footwall) of 1.2 km, as well as a drilled depth of 1 km.
• New results provide drilled continuity to depths of 500 to 700 meters for additional zones
(North and South).
Nav Dhaliwal, CEO and President stated, “Results continue to significantly increase the overall
dimensions of the Gladiator Gold Deposit in all dir ections. We are currently focused on our
aggressive resource development program and remain in a strong financial position, having raised
$40 million in the first half of 2017. The addition of significant strategic partners and shareholders
validates not only the Gladiator Gold Deposit but m anagement’s focus and strategy going
forward.”
Dale Ginn, VP Exploration added, “The extension of the new South Zone to depth is si gnificant,
noting it is the first result from our southern island location. This location provides access to drill
the Rivage Gap area to depth from the hanging wall side of the Gladiator deposit, and enables us
to extend the under plunge areas of the other four zones as well.”
