Bonterra Resources Inc.'s management board nominees Robert Bryce, Navjit Dhaliwal, Casey Forward, Robert Gagnon and Hans Rasmussen were re-elected as the company's board of directors at the company's annual general meeting held on Jan. 14, 2013. Over 28 million shares were voted in favour of each management nominee.

Members of the board wish to express their thanks to all shareholders who took the time and effort to vote their shares. The sheer volume of votes cast demonstrates that Bonterra's shareholders are passionate about the company and interested in its progress.

The voting results demonstrated clear support and confidence in the board; however, notwithstanding this, the board recognizes that the company has an element of dissatsified shareholders. The board's mandate is to work in the best interest of all the company's shareholders, and, as such, the board intends to consider and address some of the concerns expressed by the dissident shareholders.

The board reappointed Navjit Dhaliwal as the president and chief executive officer of the company, Casey Forward as the chief financial officer, and Ping Shen as secretary.

Bonterra is currently planning its 2013 drill program on its Quebec properties and will provide updates on progress in the coming weeks.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Letter to Shareholders

The full text of the letter to shareholders follows:

January 8, 2013

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

With less than a week to go to our Annual General Meeting, (the “Meeting”) we are writing to underline the importance of your vote to the future of our company BonTerra Resources Inc. ("BonTerra" or the "Company") and the value of your investment.

This year's meeting, to be held on January 14, 2012, is particularly important because a dissident shareholder, has launched a proxy contest that we believe is disruptive to the advancement of the Company.

The dissident shareholder, Mr. Thomas Clarke ("Clarke") is a former director of the Company and has belatedly issued a dissident circular dated December 31, 2012 (the "Dissident Circular") that purports to seek your support to remove the existing board of directors (the "Board") and vote for his slate of replacement directors.

The Dissident Circular is NOT a compliant public proxy circular and Clarke states that he is relying on the "15 or fewer" exemption, notwithstanding that he has disseminated the Dissident Circular widely and has therefore solicited votes from far more than the allowed 15 shareholders.  The very fact that Mr. Clarke did not undertake the proper task of preparing and filing a formal dissident public proxy circular, demonstrates, our view that his approach lacks transparency and he is simply being vindictive and disruptive based on the Company's decision to release him from his consulting relationship with the Company.

Having reviewed the Dissident Circular, your Board is convinced that Clarke has a hidden objective.  Just days before the Meeting, Clarke issued his Dissident Circular seeking control of your Company.

The Board considered the Dissident Circular and submits it is based on false allegations and misleading and slanted information.  In particular Clarke has failed to disclose the reason for his departure from the Company and his actual motives for seeking to replace the Company's Board.

Clarke states that the nominees (the "Dissident Nominees") set out in the Dissident Circular base their vision of the Company on, among other things "good corporate governance".  The Board finds this interesting in light of the fact that the very reason Clarke was let go by the Company was a major breach of good corporate governance by Clarke.  As set out in the Dissident Circular, Clarke was a former director of the Company and its chief geologist.  He was paid as an independent contractor at a rate of $5,000 per month plus taxes and expenses.  In 2012 the Company defined an initial National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant gold resource of 4,337,000 tonnes@ 3.53 g/t gold for a total of 492,000 ounces of gold on an inferred basis as disclosed on June 13, 2012.  The NI 43-101 complaint technical report by Snowden Engineering was filed on SEDAR on July 27, 2012. Subsequent to this, in October 2012, the Company discovered that  without any notice to the Company or any of the directors or officers of the Company, Clarke had staked claims in the name of his private geological consulting company Twillar Resources on February 8, and June 14, of 2012 within two kilometers (2Km) of the border of the Company's Eastern Extension claims.  BonTerra considered these actions to be a breach of fiduciary duty owed by Clarke to the Company and after consultation with legal counsel confronted Clarke demanding an explanation.  In management's opinion, Clarke's response demonstrated a clear lack of integrity and understanding of his fiduciary duties and accordingly management determined to immediately terminate the consulting agreement with Clarke and request his resignation from the Board.

The Company will make available to any interested shareholder, a map showing the egregious and improper claim staking conducted by Clarke.  Subsequent to Clarke's resignation, Twillar staked additional claims within the immediate area of the Company's Eastern Extension properties on November 24, 2012.

The Board is further of the view that the other hidden motive behind Clarke's actions is the fact that Clarke and the Dissident Nominees are all directors of Laurier Gold, a private resource company formed on September 27, 2012 proposing to go public.  We understand that such efforts have not progressed well and speculate that the present attempt to wrestle control of BonTerra is a thinly veiled attempt to bypass the "going public" process and emplace the Dissident Nominees in control of a public entity with a treasury.

In specific response to the points raised by Clarke in the section entitled "Reasons For a Change of Management" Dissident  Circular, we respond as follows:

• The Company's share price has depreciated from $.22 to $.05 representing an 77% decline in value.  We agree this is unfortunate however is not dissimilar from a vast number of junior resource exploration companies.  The decline in market value reflects a trend prevalent throughout the junior capital market and has nothing to do so called mismanagement or compensation practices.  In fact, it is interesting to note that one of the two public companies that Clarke is a director of, Weststar Resources Inc. has suffered an even worse decline from $.50 in February 2012 to $.04 today.  That represents a 92% decline in value.  Clarke has not provided any concrete plan as to how he and the Dissident Nominees plan to reverse this situation in light of the current dismal market conditions.  Certainly based on the public companies they are involved with, there is no evidence that had they been in control of BonTerra, the situation would be any different than it is today.
• Clarke was terminated for the reasons described above.  The Company has replaced his expertise with two extremely capable and well regarded geologists Messrs Gagnon and Rasmussen, neither of whom are currently paid a consulting fee.  Mr. Gagnon has over 10 years' experience as a professional geologist, earning his Mining Techniques Diploma from the Collège de la Région de l'Amiante (1995) . Ordre des géologues du Québec (circa 2002), Board of Directors of the Quebec Mineral Exploration Association (circa 2009). President of the Association des prospecteurs du Nord du Québec (circa 2012) BSc., Geology from the University of Quebec (1999).  He is more than capable of handling the Company's on-going field work and also has a good network in Northern Quebec, especially considering that he is currently the President of the Northern Quebec prospector's association.  Mr. Rasmussen has over 28 years' experience in the resource industry as a geophysicist and geologist with junior exploration and major mining companies including Teck Cominco Ltd., Quadra Mining Ltd., Mansfield Minerals Inc., Newmont Exploration Ltd., and Kennecott/Rio Tinto.  His knowledge spans a vast array of projects in North and South America, having been involved in the discovery of Penasquito in Mexico, Lindero in Argentina and Whistler in Alaska.  Currently, he leads Colombia Crest Gold Corp. as President, CEO and Director.  Mr. Rasmussen is a member of the Society of Exploration Geologists, Northwest Mining Association and the Geological Society of Nevada. He graduated with a Master of Science from the University of Utah and holds Bachelor of Science degrees in geology and physics from Southern Oregon State College.
• Clarke states that he had a close and good working relationship with the former President of BonTerra and that changed with the appointment of Mr. Dhaliwal as the new President.  This is an entirely subjective statement and as a contractor and fellow director, it was Clarke's duty to use his best efforts to work with the new President.
• Clarke's complaint about the fact that the Board and new President raised $1,852,199 between February 2012 and November 2012, is completely contradictory to his complaint that prior to the appointment of the new President, the Company was well funded (which implies that afterwards it was not).  The Board is of the view that had it not raised capital at the time it did, the Company would be in a far more precarious position than it is today.  The Board is very well aware of numerous junior companies that have no or negative working capital and are completely unable to fund at this time.  Some of those companies will not survive.  Management has been careful with the Company's treasury and in fact hopes to complete some of the recently announced private placement.  We are of the view that Clarke's concern on this matter is ridiculous.  The fact that BonTerra was able to raise these funds in very difficult economic times is a credit to management.  Furthermore we point out that as far as we can see there is no history of successful fundraising by any of the Dissident Nominees.  As far as progressing with work programs is concerned, considering the financial environment, management determined to review all exploration data before proposing a plan for the next program.  Management was keenly aware of the risk of spending the entire treasury on exploration work and possibly running out of funds without being in a position to refinance the Company.  We submit that the cautious approach is the correct approach.  We are formulating exploration plans and awaiting ice drill permits.  Provided we are satisfied that we have the financial resources to proceed we will do so at the earliest opportunity.
• Clarke admits that he is pursuing an IPO with Laurier Gold and a listing of same on the TSXV.  We note that this does not appear to have progressed well, and believe it is irrelevant in any event.  None of Clarke's handpicked Dissident Nominees have any financial interest in BonTerra and there is no assurance that any of them will assist in marketing or fundraising activities.

In Clarke's news release, of January 7, 2013, Clarke complains about a "dramatic increase in compensation paid to Officers" of BonTerra.  We point out that Mr. Dhaliwal receives $10,000 per month which is only $10,000 a year more than the Company's previous President was paid.  Prior to Mr. Dhaliwal being appointed President, he was a consultant to the Company, and part of the compensation reflected in the summary of management compensation contained in the management information circular relates to consulting fees incurred in the prior year which were deferred and paid in the reported fiscal period.  The Board submits that Mr. Dhaliwal's compensation is not out of line with comparable junior resource company compensation guidelines.

Shareholders are right to ask why Clarke waited so long to circulate his Dissident Circular.  Even though it is dated December 31, 2012, it only came to light yesterday, January 7, 2013.  Just days before the Meeting, Clarke is hoping to catch shareholders off guard with this surprise attack. 

Finally, the Board has become aware of interference with the Company's mailing of the management information circular to shareholders, by a person thought to be an accomplice of Clarke.  This is a matter of grave concern, and the Company will be investigating the matter further and referring same to the appropriate authorities.

Vote for an experienced and capable Board

The nominees put forward by the Company are experienced and capable.  Under their supervision, the current management team will advance our exploration properties and raise awareness of BonTerra in a prudent and measured fashion – all with a view to surfacing value for our shareholders.

• Don’t put your faith in dissidents who omit crucial details from their disclosure, whose nominees appear to have limited market experience and who in the case of the main dissident doesn't understand basic fiduciary and good corporate governance concepts.

• Recognize that investing in a junior exploration business comes with risks.  Opt for a Board that has the right experience and is capable of minimizing risk and maximizing the opportunities ahead.

This is not a short-term game. The Board and management of BonTerra are in it for the long-term and remain committed to creating value for our shareholders. Please vote your management  proxy today.

Vancouver, BC – October 31, 2012:  BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE: 9BR) (the “Company” or “BonTerra”) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Eastern Extension property (the “Property”) located approximately 170 km northeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. BonTerra recently completed a prospecting program which aimed to check IP anomalies (conductors) associates with magnetic highs along the NE-SW structures.

BonTerra discovered two parallel structures identified on the magnetic map as well at the chargeability/resistivity map. These structures have been followed up and confirmed by BonTerra’s geologist, Robert Gagnon and his team. The first structure intersects the Peninsula zone (calculation showed an inferred resource of 492,000 ounces of gold at 3.53 grams per tonne) with a shear continuous corridor and favorable to discovery of a new gold showing. Several mineralized samples were collected along the corridor and sent in to be sampled.

The second potential area contains a shear corridor which is parallel to the first but shifted to the North. This shear corridor contains a new showing called the Rivage that has returned 73.82 grams per tonne gold over 3.00 metres (May 10, 2012 news release). It is possible that a late stage structure could have moved and shifted the same shear. Additionally, several outcrops hosting tension and mineralized quartz pyrite-chalocoypyrite veins have been sampled along the second shear corridor.

The map below shows the distribution of samples and the projection of the structures and their continuities in the Peninsula area as well as in the Rivage area. In all, 30 mineralized samples were sent to the Val d’Or ALS Chemex Analysis Laboratory.



“The discovery of these parallel structures in our Peninsula and Rivage zone are exciting findings as we look to expand our drill targets for our upcoming drill program” stated Navjit Dhaliwal, BonTerra’s President. “BonTerra’s technical team is currently preparing to carry out the drilling program on the Property beginning this fall which will be aimed at these new targets”.

Robert Gagnon, P.Geo (OGQ), of BonTerra, is a “Qualified Person” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

Vancouver, BC – September 27, 2012:  BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSXV: BTR; FSE: 9BR) (the “Company” or “BonTerra”) has received gold assays for two holes, BA-12-12 (“Hole 12”) and BA-12-14 (“Hole 14”), from the Rivage Zone on its Eastern Extension property (the “Property”) located approximately 170 km northeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. Hole 12 was the highlight as this drill hole hit the target Rivage Vein as well as four additional veins. The best drill core sample of the Rivage Vein assayed 23.30 g/t over 1.0 metre.  BonTerra discovered the Rivage in 2011. The Rivage is characterized by a series of parallel veins mineralized with sulphides and often visible gold.

Highlights of assay results for the Rivage Vein include 23.3 g/t over 1.0 metre at 50 metres vertical depth in Hole 12 as disclosed in this news release, 204.0 g/t in a surface chip sample taken from the discovery outcrop as previously disclosed in the Company’s news release dated October 4th, 2011 and 220.0 g/t over 1.0 metre at 200 metres in vertical depth in BA-12-10 (“Hole 10”) as previously disclosed in the Company’s news release dated May 10th, 2012. When reviewing results for Hole 10 and Hole 12, gold grades seem to increase with depth. BonTerra intercepted the high grade Rivage Vein and four other parallel veins in Hole 12 which is encouraging for the Company. Significant drill results from Hole 12 are shown in Table 1 with the collar details shown in Table 2.

Table 1: Significant drill results (down hole depths)

BonTerra recently closed a financing, and the Company anticipates that the bulk of such proceeds will be used to continue drilling the Property. One key component of this drill program is to attempt to connect the parallel veins at the area of the Property which hosts BonTerra’s NI 43-101 inferred gold resource (the “Target Area”) with the multiple parallel veins at the Rivage Vein approximately 700 metres to the west of the Target Area. Additionally, BonTerra plans on drilling a target which is situated approximately 500 metres east of the Target Area. The total strike distance from the Rivage eastwards to the Target Area and onwards to the eastern target is approximately 1,700 metres. BonTerra is working to determine the extent of the mineralization in this area.

Navjit Dhaliwal, President of the Company states, “BonTerra is encouraged by the Rivage Zone drill results. BonTerra was expecting one or two gold bearing veins in Hole 12. Instead, we discovered five. These five veins at the Rivage Zone share the same characteristics as the mineralized veins in the area of our inferred mineral resource. Our ultimate goal is to now attempt to connect these veins in an effort to update and potentially expand the size of BonTerra’s inferred mineral resource calculation. We plan on resuming the drilling this fall.”

This technical content of this press release has been reviewed and accepted by Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat., and a Director of BonTerra. Mr. Clarke is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Sample preparation and analysis is discussed below.

The sample results disclosed in this news release are taken from mineralized intervals of the drill holes. Depths and lengths are core lengths and are not true widths and possibly down dip at times or otherwise non perpendicular. The gold intercepts disclosed in this news release are significant gold intercepts and not all the samples were submitted for fire assay. Samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories (“ALS”) in Val d’Or, Quebec for crushing and pulverizing. ALS is independent of the Company and is certified by the Standards Council of Canada. ALS is individually certified to standards within ISO 9001:2008 and has received accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 from the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for fire Assay Au by Atomic Absorption (AA) and Au by gravimetric finish. The samples crushed to 75% passing 2 mm and split to 250 grams. The crushed sample is then pulverized to 85% passing 75 um. Once the sample preparation is complete they are sent for assay. Fifty gram samples are fire assayed with ICP finish. All samples assaying greater than 10 g/t gold are then re-assayed with a gravimetric finish. Assay samples are taken from drill core, sawed in half along the core axis. One half is sent to ALS and the other half retained by the Company for future reference. BonTerra retains coarse rejects and pulps in a secure facility. The Company applies a full quality assurance and quality control program (QAQC) system for every batch of samples submitted to the lab (gold standard, field sample duplicate and blank).
Table 2: Collar details of drill holes disclosed in this news release

Hole 12 and Hole 14 were both collared on section with Hole 10. Hole 10 assayed 73.8 g/t gold over 3.0 metres which included 1.0 metre of 220 g/t gold. Hole 12 was drilled approximately 65 metres south of Hole 10 and approximately 115 metres along strike from the original discovery outcrop.
