NewsWire -- Bonterra Resources Inc.
(TSX-V:
BTR,
US: BONXF, FSE:
9BR1) (the “Company” or “Bonterra”)
is pleased to announce that the
ongoing Resource Development Program in and around the Gladiator
Gold Deposit has successfully increased the width of the
Main Zone and extended the strike length of multiple gold-bearing
horizons. The results from the current drilling campaign
continue to expand the size and further confirm the continuity of
the Gladiator Gold Deposit. Noting the aggressive drill program at
Gladiator, assays from multiple drill holes are pending in lab, and
the Company anticipates additional drill results in the near
future.
Highlights and
Observations:
- Results from six (6) recent
drill holes have increased the width of the Main Zone and have
extended the strike length of the Footwall and North
Zones.
- Hole BA-17-38
extends the North Zone down plunge to 700 m below surface with
4.0 m of 7.3 g/t Au including 24.8 g/t
over 1.0 m.
- Hole BA-17-38
increases width and grade down plunge in the Main Zone with
9.4 m of 8.2 g/t Au at 800 m depth.
- Hole BA-17-37
confirms the eastern continuity of the South Zone with 1.5
m of 17.6 g/t Au at 500 m depth.
- Hole BA-17-39B
extends the Footwall Zone to the east below surface with
5.0 m of 11.5 g/t Au at 500 m below
surface.
- To date, continuity of
mineralization is now confirmed over a total drilled strike length
on at least two horizons (Main and Footwall) of 1,200 m, as well as
a drilled depth of 1,200 m.

Nav Dhaliwal, CEO and President,
stated, “We continue to
establish the Gladiator Gold Deposit as a very large gold system,
with multiple parallel gold horizons that continue to be expanded
along strike and also appear to show signs of increased width, as
shown in hole BA-17-38, where 8.2 g/t Au over 9.4 m was
intersected. Since 2011, approximately 88,500 m of drilling has
been completed at the Gladiator Gold Deposit, which includes over
40,000 m so far in 2017. As we approach our winter drill program,
we are looking to expand up to six drill rigs to ensure we continue
our expansive resource development program. Because of our
continued drilling success over the last two years at Gladiator, we
have a high level of confidence that in 2018, we will be in a
position to significantly upgrade the size of the geological model
and complete a sizable mineral resource
update.”
