CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 27, 2014) - Bonterra Energy Corp. ("Bonterra" or "the Company") (TSX:BNE) announces that it has resolved issues with Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") relating to CRA's objection to the tax consequences of the conversion of Bonterra's income trust structure into a business corporation.

reduced cash outlays for subsequent periods;

the adjustment of certain tax pools and possible write-off of portions
of the Company's deferred tax assets;

-- Allowing Management to focus full time on the operations of the Company
to enhance shareholder value.
