Canterra Minerals Completes Soil Sampling at Noel Paul Property, Newfoundland

Vancouver, B.C. (July 21, 2022) – Canterra Minerals Corporation ( TSXV:CTM) (OTCQB: CTMCF) (“Canterra” or the

“Company”) is pleased to provide an update to its ongoing exploration program on the Noel Paul Property and

Wilding Lake Gold Project, both located in Central Newfoundland, Canada.

Highlights:

• 1,282 samples collected at the Carter Lake Block, an addition to the Noel Paul Property staked in 2021 (see news

release dated July 28, 2021)

• Results from 2021 regional reconnaissance program show meaningful gold anomalies covering more than five

kilometres of strike length

• Early-stage exploration areas with abundant potential

Cooper Quinn, President of Canterra, commented “ The Carter Lake Block is a greenfields portion of our extensive

claims at the Noel Paul Property, with has had very little work done thus far . The completion of the soil sampling

program represents an important step in advancing the project with the aim o f generating new targets in the

prospective Rogerson Lake Structural Corridor. We look forward to seeing the assay results and refining targets for

more detailed exploration and follow up sampling.”

Carter Lake Soil Sampling

Canterra has collected 1,282 soil samples at the Carter Lake Block as part of the summer 2022 exploration program.

The Carter Lake Block, which was staked in 2021 based on recognition of a potential splay in the prospective

Rogerson Lake Structural Corridor, is largely unexplored beyond a limited reconnaissance soil sampling program with

500 metre spacing completed in 2021 (news release dated December 21, 2021). This sampling showed a broad soil

anomaly with results ranging from 10 to 28 parts per billion gold (ppb Au). Assay results from the recently completed

program are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the result ing data to be used in

conjunction with airborne magnetic survey data to define further targets for exploration.
