Canterra Minerals Announces Additional Gravity Targets at the Tulks East Project in Central
Newfoundland
Vancouver, B.C. (May 6, 2024) – Canterra Minerals Corporation ( TSXV:CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) (“Canterra” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce results from a recently completed ground gravity survey over the Tulks East
Project in central Newfoundland, Canada. The survey returned p romising results, including detection of several
positive gravity anomalies in underexplored areas proximal to the known zones of polymetallic massive sulphide
mineralization.
Highlights:
• The gravity survey successfully identified the known massive sulphide mineralization on the project, and
identified that the gravity anomaly is open-ended extending northwest 600 metres ("m") beyond previous
drill testing, suggesting that massive sulfide mineralization may extend further than previously thought;
• The survey operator, Abitibi Geophysics Inc. (“Abitibi”), has completed initial modeling of the anomaly and
has recommended the gravity anomaly extension as a priority drill target;
• Additional gravity anomalies have been detected in underexplored areas, including several other anomalies
recommended as drill targets;
• Based on these results, Canterra has initiated a review of the gravity data in conjunction with other available
exploration datasets. This review will assess the targets recommended by Abitibi as well as attempt to
identify additional deeper drill ing targets associated with the known Tulks East massive sulphide
mineralization.
“Since acquiring Tulks East in 2021, we felt that there was significant exploration potential to expand upon the
original discoveries of massive sul phide on the project but were missing a layer of data to corroborate that
assumption. The new gravity survey suggests massive sul phide mineralization may extend to the northwest over
several hundred metres. The next step will be to integrate this gravity data and to develop drill targets to confirm
that thesis.” stated Chris Pennimpede, President & CEO of Canterra.
The Tulks East project hosts the potential for the discovery of additional mineralization at depth, as well as on other
mineralized horizons considered prospective for new high -grade VMS discoveries. The known mineralized zones
have been historically tested along a ~1,000 m strike length where three massive sulphide lenses, Tulks East A/B/C
zones, have been discovered. Though a modern resource estimate has not been completed for the Tulks East
project, the project is considered to represent one of the largest accumulations of massive sulphides in the Tulks
Volcanic Belt.
Tulks East has not been drilled since 2014, which was completed by previous operators. Highlights from this drilling
at the A Zone included 8.35 m averaging 0.36% Cu, 0.40% Pb, 5.60% Zn, 27.7g/t Ag, and 0.608g/t Au at a vertical
depth of 450 m, while the B Zone returned a mineralized intercept of 0.70 m averaging 0.27% Cu, 0.15% Pb, 1.32%
Zn, 16.2g/t Ag, and 0.733g/t Au at a vertical depth of approximately 140 m.

property.
Tulks East Project
The Tulks East Project is underlain by volcanic rocks of the Tulks Group (Victoria Lake supergroup) and hosts the A,
B & C Zones originally discovered by Abitibi-Price Incorporated in 1977. The project is part of Canterra’s 684 km 2
land holdings in central Newfoundland and is located less than 50 kilometres (“km”) southwest of Teck Resources
former Duck Pond mine and less than 40 km south of Canterra’s Buchans project (former Buchans mine). Additional
details pertaining to Canterra’s central Newfoundland Critical Minerals Properties can be found on Canterra's
website.

About Canterra Minerals
Canterra Minerals is a diversified minerals exploration company with a focus on critical and precious metals within
the C entral Newfoundland Mining District . Canterra’s projects in th e district include seven mineral deposits ,
including the prolific, past producing Buchans mine , which produced copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold . Canterra
also host a commanding land position that includes several exploration-stage gold projects covering 60 km of strike
of the regional gold-bearing Rogerson Lake structural corridor that hosts Calibre Mining Corporation’s development-
stage Valentine Gold Mine. Canterra’s Newfoundland gold projects have been subject to four drilling campaigns,
demonstrating many gold occurrences warranting further exploration.
