Bonterra intersects 8.0 g/t Au over 12.1 m near surface northeast of the
Barry Gold Deposit
Val-d’Or, QC – October 05, 2021 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF,
FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from the ongoing drilling
campaign at the Barry project. Recent drilling results expand upon the northeast sector of the Barry
deposit near surface and at dept h. The latest results obtained from 21 diamond drill holes are designed
to expand the 2021 mineral resource estimate (“ 2021 MRE”) released in June (see press release dated
June 23, 2021). Drilling highlights include 8.0 g/t grams-per- tonne gold (“ g/t Au”) over 12.1 metres
(“m”) in the near-surface zone AB8, approximately 75 m northeast of the 2021 MRE.
The Company is currently drilling at a rate of approximately 6,000 m per month, focused on expanding
its main gold deposits highlighted within the recently released 2021 MREs.
Highlights include:
8.0 g/t Au over 12.1 m, including 14.9 g/t Au over 3.7 m in MB-21-384
1.8 g/t Au over 13.5 m, including 10.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m in MB-21-372
2.5 g/t Au over 8.3 m, including 11.2 g/t Au over 1.7 m and 4.6 g/t Au over 3.5 m, including 25.6
g/t Au over 0.6 m in MB-21-382
Pascal Hamelin, CEO commented: “These near surface results, in particular in hole MB-21-384
substantiates our view that a strong mineralized potential exis ts at Barry from the recent exploration
drilling which intercepted thic k and continuous gold mineraliza tion intervals near surface and within
200 m depth immediately adjacent to the 2021 MRE. More assays are pending from this same sector,
and we look forward to receiving more diamond drill results from this area.”

The Barry drilling campaign is currently focused on the expansion of key gold mineralized zones around
the 2021 MRE. Multiple diamond drill holes tested open pit pot ential to the northeast of the open pit
resource shell in the 2021 MRE and followed up on deeper interc epts with holes MB-21-382 and MB-
21-383 (see press release dated March 1, 2021). High-grade gold mineralization occurring near-surface
above open pit cut-off grade was intercepted at approximately 50 m northeast of the existing pit shell in
the AB7 and AB8 zones and mineralization remains open to the east. Expansion drilling has confirmed
the mineral continuity of several known H-Type zones and has intercepted new additional H-type zones
north of the 1000 zone, returning high-grade intercepts at less than 200 m depth and laterally within 50
to 100 m of the existing resource along the 1000 zone. Follow- up drilling of this target area northeast
of the Barry gold deposit will continue throughout the remainder of Q4 2021 and into Q1 2022 in order
to better define their geometries. Drilling also continues to t est extensions and outlining continued
potential at depth of the H series mineralized structures to the southwest of Barry (Table 1, Figures 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5).

Barry Deposit Geology
The Barry gold deposit is characterized by three dominant sets of structures, all dipping to the south-
east. The sub-vertical shear zone s and the H-Series shear zone s dipping 25 to 40 degrees are hosted
within intermediate to mafic volcanics and tuffs with local felsic intrusions. Contact zones dip at 50-65
degrees along the lower and upper contacts of the D1, D2 and D3 felsic intrusions with mafic volcanics.
Gold mineralization is associated with disseminated sulfides wi thin shear zones and veins with local
visible gold. The Barry deposit has been delineated over 1.4 kilometres along strike and 700 m vertical
and remains open for expansion.

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
The Barry project’s drill core gold analyses are performed at t he Company’s Bachelor Mine analytical
laboratory (the “Laboratory”). The Company employs a rigorous QA-QC analysis program that meets
industry standards. The analyses are carried out by fire assay (A.A.) with atomic absorption finish.
Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards are inser ted into the sample stream to monitor the
Laboratory’s performance. The Com pany's QA-QC program requires that at least 10% of samples be
analyzed by an independent laboratory. These verification samples are sent to ALS Minerals laboratory
facility located in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The verifications show a high degree of correlation with the
Laboratory’s results.
