Quaterra Discovers New Silver Zone at Nieves Drilling Intersects 0.8m of 1,865 g/t Silver (54.5 Oz/Ton) Two Kilometers West of Current Resource

Drilling Intersects 0.8m of 1,865 g/t Silver (54.5 Oz/Ton) Two Kilometers West of Current Resource

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- Quaterra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: QTA)(NYSE MKT: QMM)(NYSE Amex: QMM) and its 50% joint-venture partner Blackberry Ventures I, LLC, today announced assay results from eight core holes totaling 3,060 meters completed between August and October 2012 at their Nieves silver property in northern Zacatecas, Mexico.


Hole QTA 190 intersected 0.8 meters of 1,865 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (54.5 oz/ton) which is part of a larger vein interval starting at 243.6 meters averaging 341 g/t silver (10.0 oz/ton). The hole was collared to test an induced polarization (IP) anomaly on the Orion vein, believed to be a westward extension of the Gregorio vein located two kilometers to the east. Holes QTA 191 and QTA 192, drilled 200 meters west and east of QTA 190, intersected 0.85 meters of 289 g/t silver and 1.1 meters of 284 g/t silver respectively. The new zone is open laterally and at depth.


"These results validate our belief that Nieves is a large, high-level hydrothermal system with potential to extend well beyond the limits of mineralization discovered to date," says Nieves Project Manager Hector Fernandez. "We have always thought that the vein system extends to the west, and hole QTA 190 confirms it."


Three holes (QTA 185-187) tested coincident IP and geochemical gold anomalies on the western extension of the Santa Rita vein. Holes QTA 186 and QTA 187 intersected 5.1 meter intervals averaging 0.7 g/t gold and 0.55 g/t gold respectively. The gold anomalies may represent the upper levels of deeper and as yet undiscovered silver mineralization.


Wildcat holes QTA 188 and QTA 189, drilled 2,000 meters further west from holes QTA 185-187 to test anomalous vein occurrences, did not intersect significant mineralization.

Exploration maps illustrating all of these features are posted on the Quaterra website. A table of drill-hole results is attached to this news release and posted on the Company's website. True thicknesses are about 80% of intercept widths reported.


Core samples were prepped and analyzed by ALS Chemex in Guadalajara, Mexico, and Vancouver, B.C., respectively. Property-specific standards were routinely submitted with each batch of samples. Samples were initially run using a conventional 35-element ICP analysis with an aqua regia digestion process. A 30-gram fire assay with gravimetric finish for gold and silver was run on all samples. ICP results are reported for silver values up to 100 g/t; fire assay results are reported for silver assays greater than 100 g/t. Samples containing more than 1% lead, copper or zinc were analyzed using AA with aqua regia digestion.
