CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2011) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators): Peter Leger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teras is pleased to announce that Teras has completed 12 additional core drill holes on its Cahuilla project and has entered into negotiations with Consolidated Goldfields Corporation to take the next steps in advancing the Cahuilla project. The Cahuilla Project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple bonanza-grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization. For further information on the Cahuilla project refer to the NI 43-101 technical report entitled "Cahuilla Property 43-101 Technical Report," dated October 25, 2007 prepared by Todd Wakefield, MAusIMM of AMEC E&C Services filed on Sedar on November 15, 2007.
The core program consisted of 12 Diamond drill holes totalling 333 meters. The purpose of the drill program is to test the surface dimensions and down dip extensions of the outcropping sheeted quartz veins on High Grade Hill using a series of shallow fenced holes to develop continuity and expand near surface gold/silver mineralization. Assaying of the core is currently in progress and is being conducted by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Results of the core samples will be announced once the analyses are completed.
Results from High Grade Hill will determine where we focus our more extensive reverse circulation drill program, which is anticipated to begin later this year. The principle objectives of the upcoming drill program will be to explore the many high grade veins that have been intersected throughout the project area and focus on the expansion of disseminated mineralization that was defined by historic drilling.
Dale Vitone P. Eng., a Director for the Company is the Company's nominated qualified person responsible for monitoring the supervision and quality control of the programs completed on the Company's properties.
