Midwest Northeast Uranium Project Intercepts 6% Nickel Over 1.7m

Vancouver, B.C. - April 25, 2008 - Terra Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: TAS) provides an update on the Midwest NorthEast Uranium property in which Terra owns a 10% production carried interest.

In a press release dated April 25, 2008 Hathor reports: Hathor Exploration Limited (HAT-TSX.V) is pleased to announce that it has received geochemical results for basement-hosted mineralization encountered in Diamond drill hole MWNE-08-12 at the Roughrider Zone on its 90%-owned Midwest NorthEast project. Significant intersections, listed below, include nickel (Ni) values up to 17.22%, cobalt (Co) to 1.92%, molybdenum (Mo) to 2.35% and copper (Cu) to 0.34%. These results occur within the 46.4 metre zone of uranium mineralization (having U3O8 assay results of up to 40.2%) intersected in drill hole MWNE-08-12 (see Hathor News Release dated March 3, 2008).

Metals such as nickel, cobalt, lead and arsenic are commonly associated with unconformity-associated uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.

For example, at the planned open-pit Midwest mine of AREVA Resources Canada Inc., Denison Mines Corp. and OURD Canada Co. Ltd., report NI 43-101 compliant Probable Ore Reserves of 345,500 tonnes at an average grade of 5.47% U3O8, 4.37% Ni, and 0.33% Co.  This sandstone-hosted ore deposit, located about 5 km southwest of Hathor's Roughrider Zone, consists primarily of uranium oxides (uraninite and pitchblende) with a suite of Ni-Co arsenides, sulphides and sulpharsenides in a clay matrix.

All samples were analysed by ICP-ES at the Geoanalytical Laboratories of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). The facilities used for the analysis operate in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E), General Requirements for the Competence of Mineral Testing and Calibration Laboratories. All metal intervals reported below have been taken to a 0.1% cut-off.

Hathor Exploration's Senior Project Geologist, Dr Alistair McCready, commented: "These high metal values within the basement, emphasize the potential for significant unconformity-style mineralization to occur at/or above the unconformity such as seen at the AREVA's Mae Zone located 1,800 m to the southwest."
