Gold Terra Announces Filing of Technical Report for 64% Increase to Mineral Resource Estimate at
Yellowknife City Gold Project
April 1 , 2021, Vancouver, B.C. – Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSX- V: YGT; Frankfurt: TX0; OTC QX:
YGTFF) (“Gold Terra” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has filed a technical report
prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43 -101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
(“NI 43-101”) supporting the mineral resource estimate on its Yellowknife City Gold project ( the “YCG
Project”) as reported in the Company’s news release dated March 16, 2021.
The technical report, titled “Technical Report on the 2021 Updated Mineral Resource Estimates,
Northbelt Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada” with an
effective date of March 8 2021, can be found on the Compan y’s website at
https://www.goldterracorp.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. This updated mineral resource
estimate includes the Sam Otto, Crestaurum, Barney and Mispickel gold deposits previously reported in
the initial November 2019 mineral resource and includes assay results from the 2020 drill program on
the Sam Otto and Crestaurum deposits.
The 2021 mineral resource estimate highlights:
Significant increases to the in situ mineral inventory from the 2019 mineral resource estimate was
achieved by the 2020 drilling at Sam Otto (9,622 metres) and Crestaurum (7,648 metres) , which
increased the strike and dip of both these deposits.
The 1,207,000 ounce inferred mineral resource consists of an:
Open pit constrained i nferred mineral resource of 21. 8 million tonnes averaging 1.25 g/t for
876,000 ounces of contained gold.
Underground inferred mineral resource of 2.55 million tonnes averaging 4.04 g/t for 331,000
ounces of contained gold.
The potential to increase mineral resources on specific targets include:
• The untested depth extension on both the Sam Otto Main and the Sam Otto South deposits.
• Gold Terra believes that s elective closer spaced drilling at the Crestaurum deposit can
potentially increase mineral resources below the 300-metre depth.
• The 2020 drilling on the Crestaurum deposit revealed an untested three- kilometre strike length
of this gold bearing structure to the south of the current mineral resource.
• A review of the structural controls on the Mispickel and Barney deposits during the 2021
mineral resource estimation revealed potential for increasing these higher grade zones both
along the plunge of the known high-grade zones, and for discovery of new high-grade lodes over
a potential three-kilometre mineralized structure at Mispickel.
Qualified Persons
The mineral resource estimate was prepared by Dr. Allan Armitage, P.Geo., from SGS Geological
Services. The information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Joe
Campbell, P. Geo., Chief Operating Officer for Gold Terra and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

Option Agreement
The Company is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”)
with Walter J. Humphries and David Smith (together, the “Optionors”), pursuant to which it has the right
to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims (the “Claims”) located in the Northbelt area of the
YCG Project (the “O ption”). The strategic addition of the Claims ties together a key section of Gold
Terra’s property for future exploration. The terms of the Option A greement require Gold Terra to pay
the Optionors a total of $ 15,000 in cash and to issue a total of 4 0,000 common shares of Gold Terra to
the Optionors. The Option is exerciseable over a period of three years. To exercise the Option, Gold
Terra must pay the Optionors an additional $15,000 in cash and issue an additional 60,000 common
shares of Gold Terra, over the next three years . The Claims will be subject to a 2% net smelter returns
royalty.
The Option Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) acceptance. All shares issued
pursuant to the Option Agreement will be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities
legislation and the rules of the TSXV.
About Gold Terra’s Yellowknife City Gold Project
The YCG Project encompasses 800 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the
City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one
of the six major high -grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilo metres of the City of Yellowknife,
the YCG is close to vital infrastructure, including all- season roads, air transportation, service providers,
hydro-electric power and skilled tradespeople.
The YCG Project lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, cove ring nearly 70 kilometres of strike
length along the main mineralized shear system that host the former- producing high-grade Con and
Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of
gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's
objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED,
INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES [NTD: Cassels has not reviewed the US cautionary language.]
The Company prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect
in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Terms relating to Mineral
Resources in this news release are defined in accordance with NI 43 -101 under the guidelines set out in
CIM Standards.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted amendments
effective February 25, 2019 (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to its disclosure rules to modernize the
mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under
the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC Modernization Rules have replaced SEC
Industry Guide 7, which will be rescinded following a transition period and after the required
compliance date of the SEC Modernization Rules.
LEGAL*52757203.2
4 / 4
As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of
"Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources", which
are defined in substantially similar terms to the corresponding CIM Standards. In addition, the SEC has
amended its definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" to be
substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Standards.
United States investors are cautioned that while the foregoing terms are "substantially similar" to
corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the
SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any Mineral
Resources that the Company may report as "Measured Mineral Resources", "Indicated Mineral
Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under NI 43 -101 would be the same had the Company
prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize "Measured Mineral
Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resourc es", investors should not to
assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories would ever be converted into a
higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described by these terms
has a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and
legal feasibility. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any "Measured Mineral
Resources", "Indicated Mineral Resources", or "Inferred Mineral Resources" t hat the Company reports
are or will be economically or legally mineable.
Further, "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to
whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, United States investors are also
cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the Inferred Resources exist. In accordance with
Canadian securities laws, estimates of "Inferred Mineral Resources" cannot form the basis of feasibility
or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.
In addition, disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations;
however, the SEC has historically only permitted issuers to report mineralization as in place tonnage and
grade without reference to unit measures.
