Bonterra Highlights Initial Drill Results from Gladiator SW Target; Announces 2025 Exploration Program at Phoenix JV with Gold Fields 

Val-d’Or, QC – March 19, 2025 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the first assay results from the Gladiator Southwest (“Gladiator SW”) target and announce details of the 2025 exploration program being led by a 100% indirect subsidiary of Gold Fields Ltd (“Gold Fields” or the “Operator”) at the Phoenix JV (the “Project”). The Project is under a definitive earn-in and joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Gold Fields (previously, Osisko Mining Inc.). Under the JV Agreement, Gold Fields has the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by spending C$30 million in work expenditures, with a minimum spending commitment of C$10 million per year over a three-year period (see press release dated November 28, 2023, for more details). 

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “Gold Fields has achieved significant progress in exploration near their high-grade Windfall project, identifying multiple promising targets for further drilling. With over half of the planned joint venture expenditures already completed in the first year, we look forward to continued collaboration to advance Quebec’s newest emerging gold camp.” 

First Assay Results from the Gladiator SW Target 

To date, over 65,000 meters (“m”) have been drilled, with approximately C$18 million invested in the Project under the JV Agreement. This includes 5,700 m (13 drill holes) completed at the Gladiator SW Target along the Barry Shear Zone by the end of 2024 (see Figure 1 – Plan View of Gladiator SW Target). Additionally, a detailed review of core samples from both the Barry and Gladiator deposits was conducted to improve geological understanding. These deposits contain a combined 1.08 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral resources and 1.68 million ounces of Inferred Mineral resources, as reported in the 2021 mineral resource estimate (“2021 MRE”). 

Highlight at the Gladiator SW Target: 

  • 20.3 g/t Au over 1.5m, in hole PHX-24-0119 

2025 Phoenix JV Exploration Program Updates by Gold Fields 

Gold Fields is currently preparing a potential 15,000 m drill program, with final target selection subject to internal review and prioritization. Several promising targets have already been identified, based on historical gold showings, previous drill results, and geophysical survey data (see Figure 2 – Plan View of Target Areas on the Phoenix JV). 

Gold Fields intends to deploy three to four drill rigs, primarily focused along the Barry Shear Zone at the Gladiator NE and Titan targets. The program will also explore additional areas such as Duke NE, Chanceux, the Tourmaline Ridge extension, and Rouleau Till. Diamond drilling is expected to commence later this year upon approval. Additionally, a gravity airborne survey and associated fieldwork are being planned for the upcoming summer.

Urbana Corporation Announces Winter Drilling Program Adjacent to Moss Target at Phoenix JV 

 Val-d’Or, QC – February 6, 2025 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) congratulates Urbana Corporation (“Urbana”) on initiating a 4,150 meters (“m”) winter drill program on the Urbana property located adjacent to the Moss target on the Company’s Phoenix JV with Gold Fields Ltd. (see Urbana’s press release dated on February 3, 2025). 

The Urbana property is crossed by the regional Mazères Fault, which is the main structural corridor that hosts the Barry deposit (0.689 million ounces in the Measured and Indicated categories and 0.689 million ounces in the Inferred category) and where recent drilling at the Moss Target identified high-grade gold mineralization similar to the high-grade Lynx Zone at the Windfall project (see press releases dated December 11, 2024, August 6, 2024 and April 15, 2024). 

Cesar Gonzalez, Executive Chairman, commented: “We are pleased to see Urbana initiate a drilling campaign in this highly prospective and emerging gold camp, where nearly 10 million ounces of gold have already been discovered across the Windfall, Barry, and Gladiator deposits. Despite these significant discoveries, the camp remains underexplored, with strong potential for additional finds—demonstrated by the recent discovery of Lynx-type mineralization at the Moss Target by Gold Fields. We wish our neighbors at Urbana much success in their exploration campaign.”

Bonterra Intersects Near-Surface Mineralization Near its Bachelor Mill Complex at its 100% Owned Desmaraisville South Project

Val-d’Or, QC – December 17, 2024 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial assay results from its 4,761 meters (“m”) diamond drilling campaign at its 100% owned Desmaraisville South Project (“the Project”). The campaign aimed to test several new targets, focusing on: (1) observations from the 2024 fieldwork campaign, (2) follow-up on promising gold-mineralized environments identified in the 16,000 m fall 2023 drill campaign, (3) newly identified geophysical IP targets within the Opawica-Guercheville regional deformation corridor, and (4) the near-surface extension of the Hewfran gold mineralized zone.

All drill holes are located within 5 kilometers (“km”) of the Bachelor Mill Complex, ranging from near surface to a depth of less than 300 m. One drill hole, BRDS-24-072, was drilled on the Nelligan joint venture (“Nelligan JV”) in partnership with O3 Mining Inc. (now Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd or “Agnico”) where Bonterra holds a 70% interest in the Nelligan JV (see O3 Mining press release dated December 12, 2024, for more details on the acquisition by Agnico). The Nelligan JV covers an area equivalent to approximately 15% of the Project.

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “This year’s exploration efforts have led to the discovery of four new mineralized zones within 5 km of our 100% owned Bachelor Mill Complex on the Desmaraisville property. These zones are near surface, exhibit extensive widths of mineralized material suitable for mining, and will be prioritized for future follow-up work. With significant potential for additional discoveries, we remain committed to actively exploring the property, leveraging the benefits of innovative technologies like VRIFY’s AI-assisted mineral discovery platform. Furthermore, we are excited to welcome Agnico Eagle as a partner following the transaction with O3 Mining, and we look forward to collaborating on the Nelligan JV with our new partner.”

The campaign consisted of 16 diamond drill holes completed between August to November 2024. A total of 2,500 diamond drill core (NQ) samples, along with 408 Quality Assurance and Quality Control (“QA/QC”) samples, were submitted to various laboratories. To date, 682 analytical results remain pending.

Highlights Include:

  • 1.13 g/t Au over 16.0 m, including 2.02 g/t Au over 6.0 m in hole BRDS-24-063
  • 5.30 g/t Au over 1.4 m, including 18.39 g/t Au over 0.4 m in hole BRDS-24-060
  • 2.58 g/t Au over 6.0 m, including 4.50 g/t Au over 3.2 m in hole BRDS-24-065
  • 0.59 g/t Au over 22.3 m, including 3.17 g/t Au over 2.4 m in hole BRDS-24-066

Highlights of the Diamond Drilling Results

The diamond drilling campaign at the Project was performed on four different areas based on results from the fall 2023 drill campaign, compilation work and a fieldwork campaign conducted during the spring and summer of 2024 (Figure 1).

At the East Area, new drill holes were positioned to better intersect Northeast trending goldbearing geological structures reinterpreted from the 2024 mapping campaign. Drill hole BRDS- 24-060 intersected a hydrothermal breccia with 4-6 % fine grained pyrite. Further to the south, two drill holes, BRDS-24-061 and BRDS-24-066, were drilled at a similar azimuth and intersected highly fractured and sheared horizons with pyrite mineralization (Figure 2 and Tables 1 and 2).


West of the Bachelor Lake Intrusion, new drill holes were drilled to test the extensions of the gold intercept in drill hole BRDS-23-013 (0.80 g/t Au over 11.7 m, including 2.84 g/t Au over 1.4 m (see press release dated February 5, 2024). Drill hole BRDS-24-063 was drilled as an overcut of BRDS-23-013 and intersected a mineralized shear zone with abundant sericite, silicification and pyrite. Drill hole BRDS-24-065 was drilled as a bracket hole and also intersected a shear zone with abundant sericite, silicification, carbonate and from 2 to 5% pyrite. It remains to be determined if the gold mineralization is related to a specific geological structure or late intrusion (see Figure 3, Tables 1 and 2).

New IP targets located in the Opawica-Guercheville regional deformation corridor were evaluated during this drilling campaign. Three holes, BRDS-24-067, BRDS-24-068 and BRDS-24-072, were drilled at different locations along the corridor of deformation and intersected moderately to strongly deformed volcano-sedimentary units crosscut by quartz-carbonate veins with hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralization. Some iron formations and graphitic mudstones horizons were also intersected (Figure 1 and Table 1). Assay results are pending.

The near surface extension of the Hewfran Orebody was also drill-tested. This drilling was designed following the results of the mapping and sampling program carried out in the summer of 2024. A series of new channel samples from an old trench returned a graded interval of 2.79 g/t Au over 5.9 m. Four shallow drill holes were completed to evaluate near-surface projections of new gold mineralized zones, possibly located up-dip of the Hewfran orebody. Drill hole BRDS-24-057 intersected near surface strongly silicified and hematized horizon with pyrite mineralization (Figure 2 and Tables 1 and 2).

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols

The Desmaraisville South Project’s drill core gold analyses were performed at Activation Laboratories (“Actlabs”) located in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Québec, and at the Agat Laboratory (“Agat”) located in Val-d’Or, Québec. These external laboratories employ a rigorous QA-QC analysis program that meets industry standards. The analyses are carried out by fire assay (A.A.) with atomic absorption finish and with gravimetric finish for assay above 10 g/t Au at both Actlabs and Agat. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor the Laboratory’s performance. Other core samples gold analysis was performed at MSALabs of Val d’Or, Québec. The samples were crushed to a particle size of 70% passing through a two-millimeter sieve, and then a 500-gram portion was taken for gold analysis by gamma ray (PhotonAssayTM). As per MSALABS’ internal procedure, blank samples, and certified reference materials are systematically inserted into the analysis sequence. MSALABS operates several laboratories worldwide and holds ISO-17025 accreditation for numerous metal determination methods, including the photon assay method.

The Company’s QA-QC program requires that at least 5 to 10% of the samples be analyzed by an independent laboratory. These verification samples are sent to ALS Minerals laboratory facility located in Val-d’Or, Québec. The verifications show a high degree of correlation with the laboratory’s results.

Bonterra Announces Additional Assay Results from Moss Target and Restart of Drilling by Gold Fields at Phoenix JV 

 Val-d’Or, QC – December 11, 2024 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the Moss target and the restart of drilling by a 100% indirect subsidiary of Gold Fields Ltd (“Gold Fields” or the “Operator”) at the Phoenix JV (formerly known as the Urban-Barry Property) (the “Project”). The Project is under a definitive earn-in and joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Osisko Mining Inc., which is now Gold Fields. Under the JV Agreement, Gold Fields has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Project by spending C$30 million in work expenditures, with a minimum spending commitment of C$10 million per year over a three-year period (see press release dated November 28, 2023, for more details). 

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “The start of exploration activities under Gold Fields as the new operator marks an exciting milestone for the Phoenix JV. Gold Fields’ 2025 program is focused on advancing the understanding of the regional geology and identifying new exploration targets across the property. 

Recent drilling results at the Moss target, where Lynx-style gold mineralization has been identified, highlights the strong potential for further discoveries. We are eager to collaborate with Gold Fields to advance Quebec’s newest emerging gold camp.” 

Additional Assay Results from the Moss Target 

To date, over 60,000 meters (“m”) have been drilled, and approximately C$16 million has been spent on the Project this year by Osisko under the JV Agreement. The extensive drilling program at Moss target has led to high-grade mineralization discovery similar to the Windfall-Lynx Zone. The extension at depth is confirmed by drill holes OSK-PHX-24-078 and OSK-PHX-24-096 returning 38.33 g/t Au over 1.1 m (including 69.6 g/t Au over 0.6 m) and 7.37 g/t Au over 4.2 m (including 28.6 g/t Au over 0.4 m), respectively (see press release dated August 6, 2024). The majority of the assay results have now been processed, with key results displayed on a longitudinal section in Figure 2. Significant intercepts not previously reported are shown below. 

Highlights at the Moss Target: 

  • 6.23 g/t Au over 2.8m, including 18.1 Au g/t over 0.9m in hole OSK-PHX-24-112 
  • 12.3 g/t Au over 0.5m and 3.97 g/t Au over 3.4 m in hole OSK-PHX-24-073 
  • 7.50 g/t Au over 0.9 m, including 20.9 g/t Au over 0.3 m in hole OSK-PHX-24-106 
  • 5.05 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole OSK-PHX-24-053 

Start of Drilling by Gold Fields at the Phoenix JV 

Gold Fields is in the draft planning stage for a potential 20,000 meters drill program. Final targets remain subject to internal review and prioritization. Possible geophysical surveys are also at draft planning stage. The Operator has identified several prospective targets based on historical data including, gold showings, drill results, and geophysical surveys (see Figure 1 – Plan View of Target Areas on the Phoenix JV). 

Gold Fields plans to mobilize utilizing three to four drill rigs during the latest drilling campaign, primarily along the Barry Shear Zone where the Gladiator SW and NE/Titan targets are located. Those targets are next to the Gladiator deposit, which contains 0.4 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral resources and 1.0 million ounces of Inferred Mineral resources, as stated in the 2021 mineral resource estimate (“2021 MRE”). In addition, a detailed review of the core samples from both Barry and Gladiator deposits is also planned. Other areas will be targeted such as Duke NE, Chanceux, Tourmaline Ridge extension and Rouleau Till as part of the program. Two drill rigs are currently turning on the Gladiator SW target, with over 3,000 m drilled to date.

Bonterra Congratulates Gold Fields on C$2.16 Billion Friendly Takeover of Osisko Mining

Val-d’Or, QC – October 21, 2024 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) congratulates Gold Fields Limited, through a 100% owned Canadian subsidiary (“Gold Fields” or the “Operator”), for the acquisition of Osisko Mining Inc. (“Osisko Mining”) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately C$2.16 billion on a fully diluted basis (the “Transaction”).

On October 17, 2024, the shareholders of Osisko Mining overwhelmingly approved the acquisition by Gold Fields via plan of arrangement. The Transaction is expected to close on or about October 25, 2024 (the “Closing”). Upon Closing, Gold Fields will assume the role of Operator of the Phoenix JV (“the Project”), located in the Urban-Barry camp near the Windfall gold deposit. Under the terms of the earn-in and joint venture agreement (“the Agreement”), Gold Fields can acquire up to a 70% interest in the Project by investing a total of C$30 million in work expenditures, with a minimum commitment of C$10 million per year over a three-year period. Since the signing of the Agreement in November 2023, Osisko Mining has drilled 60,000 meters and invested over C$15 million in the Project. This extensive drilling program has led to a significant discovery at the Moss target, revealing high-grade mineralization similar to the Windfall-Lynx Zone, which has been confirmed at depth (see release dated August 6, 2024).

Cesar Gonzalez, Executive Chairman commented: “The arrival of Gold Fields, a renowned global gold producer, opens a new chapter in the development of our Urban-Barry property and at the Windfall gold project. The recent discovery of Lynx-type mineralization demonstrates the potential for finding new deposits near the future Windfall mine. We look forward to continuing the earn-in and joint venture with our new partner Gold Fields and to the shared success that lies ahead.”
