Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR) (OTCQX: BONXF) has launched a diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Desmaraisville South project. The company plans to drill 4,000 to 6,000 meters by year-end, targeting several prospective areas identified through geological and geophysical work. The primary goal is to discover new mineralized lenses within 15 kilometers of the Bachelor Mill Complex.

Concurrently, Bonterra is considering updating its 2021 mineral resource estimate for the Barry and Gladiator deposits, following over 100,000 meters of additional drilling. The company also noted ongoing compilation work at the Phoenix JV, where a 60,000-meter drill campaign was completed in July, with further drilling expected later this year under Gold Fields' operation.

Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR) (OTCQX: BONXF) ha avviato un programma di perforazione a diamante nel suo progetto interamente posseduto Desmaraisville South. L'azienda prevede di perforare tra 4.000 e 6.000 metri entro la fine dell'anno, mirando a diverse aree prospettiche identificate attraverso lavori geologici e geofisici. L'obiettivo principale è scoprire nuove lenti mineralizzate entro 15 chilometri dal Bachelor Mill Complex.

Contemporaneamente, Bonterra sta valutando l'aggiornamento della sua stima delle risorse minerarie del 2021 per i giacimenti di Barry e Gladiator, dopo oltre 100.000 metri di perforazione aggiuntiva. L'azienda ha inoltre segnalato lavori di compilazione in corso presso il Phoenix JV, dove una campagna di perforazione di 60.000 metri è stata completata a luglio, con ulteriori perforazioni previste per la fine dell'anno nell'ambito delle operazioni di Gold Fields.

Val-d'Or, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2024) - Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR) (OTCQX: BONXF) (FSE: 9BR2) ("Bonterra" or the "Company") announces the start of a diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Desmaraisville South project. Several prospective geological, geophysical and drill targets have been identified throughout the year and have been prioritized following last summer's field work carried out by Bonterra's geology team (see Figure 1 for the location of the drill targets). A drill rig has been mobilized to site and the Company plans to drill from 4,000 to 6,000 meters ("m") before the end of the year. Please refer to the press releases dated May 16, 2024, February 27, 2024, February 5, 2024, December 14, 2023, and December 4, 2023, for exploration updates on the Desmaraisville North and South projects and the surrounding area.

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: "The commencement of exploration at our 100% owned Desmaraisville South project follows the diligent efforts of our geologists to design an optimal drilling program targeting several promising areas. Our primary goal for this campaign is to discover new mineralized lenses within 15 kilometers of the Bachelor Mill Complex. Concurrently, the Company is considering an update to the 2021 mineral resource estimate (the "2021 MRE") for the Barry and Gladiator deposits (see press release dated June 23, 2021). Since the 2021 MRE, Bonterra has completed over 100,000 m of diamond drilling in and around the Barry and Gladiator deposits. This exploration comes amid a favorable increase in the price of gold, which was assumed at US$1,600 per ounce in the 2021 MRE.

At our Phoenix JV, the compilation work continues following the 60,000 m drill campaign that was completed in July. Drilling activities are expected to continue later this year with Gold Fields as the operator of the Phoenix JV."
