VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 28, 2011) - BonTerra Resources Inc. (News - Market indicators)(FRANKFURT:9BR) (the "Company", "BonTerra") has received its' permit to drill on the Eastern Extension ("the Property") which is situated approximately 170km NE of the city of Val d'Or, Quebec in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Company plans on immediately drilling ten holes, first targeting the far southwest zone and secondly the Peninsula and Eastern Zones. The intention of this program is to extend the strike significantly to the southwest.

BonTerra's recently completed induced polarity ("IP") and magnetic surveys provided the Company with the drill targets for this program. The IP outlined a continuous zone of low resistivity (less hard rock) and high to very high chargeability (metals present) which is the primary gold target on the Property. BonTerra decided to wait for the IP and magnetics before conducting this drill program on the Property.

Mitchell Adam, President states, "BonTerra is enthusiastic about receiving its drill permit. This gives us many other opportunities to drill the Property. We want to drill as many metres as possible which will help further define the strike length of the mineralized zone."

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the Company by Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat, a qualified person and a Director of BonTerra. The drill program and sampling is being supervised on behalf of the Company by Geologica Inc. of Val d'Or, Quebec.
