Teras Receives Assay Results Including 1.5m of 104.3 g/t Gold Within 10.7m of 19.1 g/t and 9.2m of 8.7 g/t Within 36.6m of 2.7 g/t

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Dec. 15, 2011) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TRA) is very pleased to announce the receipt of additional assay results from its reverse circulation drill program 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, twenty-two holes have been drilled and gold assays have been received for twelve. Reverse circulation drilling is currently being conducted in two areas where historic gold mineralization was encountered. The Company is aiming to link the two areas of precious metal mineralization, which extend for a strike length of approximately 500 meters, by drilling between the two mineralized zones where very minimal drill data exists. Assaying of the reverse circulation samples is being conducted by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Drill 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 gold assay results from the recent drilling:

Primary objectives of this drill program are to expand the known gold and silver mineralization delineated by historic drilling as well as search for additional high grade veins. Mr. Peter Leger, President/CEO of Teras Resources, remarked "Teras is again very pleased with drill results from our second round of assays. The significant drill hole intercepts received to date illustrate the substantial size of the gold/silver mineralization system and demonstrate the existence of previously undiscovered high grade gold veins as encountered in CAH-139."

The Company is also pleased to report that a second reverse circulation drill will arrive on site in mid-December of this year to expedite the program in order to prepare a new NI43-101 resource compliant report during 2012. Drilling will be conducted by Harris Drilling of Escondido, California who originally began drilling operations at Cahuilla for Teras in October of 2011.
