Teras Receives Assay Results Including 9.1m of 10.3 g/t and 1.5m of 28.6 g/t Within 97.5m of 1.85 g/t Gold

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Nov. 17, 2011) - Teras Resources Inc. (“Teras“ or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE: TRA): is very pleased to announce the receipt of assay results from its reverse circulation drill program which was initiated in October 2011 at the Cahuilla gold-silver Project in Imperial County, California. The Cahuilla Project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple high grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization. For further information on the Cahuilla project refer to the NI 43-101 technical report entitled “Cahuilla Property 43-101 Technical Report,“ dated October 25, 2007 prepared by Todd Wakefield, MAusIMM of AMEC E&C Services filed on Sedar on November 15, 2007.

As of this press release, fifteen holes have been drilled and assays for the first six are complete. The primary objective of this drill program is to expand the known gold and silver mineralization delineated by historic drilling. The first six holes were drilled over a strike length of 220 meters along the margins and within areas of known mineralization. Assaying of the reverse circulation samples was conducted by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. The samples were collected by Mr. Paul Stubble (project geologist), split on site, placed in sample bags and delivered to Inspectorate laboratory in Reno, Nevada for analysis.

The Company is very pleased to announce the results of the first six holes:

Five of the six drill holes bottomed in anomalous gold mineralization. Mr. Peter Leger, President/CEO of Teras Resources commented “Teras is very pleased with drill results from the first six holes. The significant drill hole intercepts illustrate the substantial size of shallow gold/silver mineralization which characterizes the Cahuilla epithermal system. We look forward to receiving continued assay results over the next few months as we advance our current drill program.“ Teras plans to drill a minimum of 100 drill holes during this phase of the program.
