Valterra Completes Year 1 Option Payments for Bobcaygeon Property and Discusses 2014 Phased Exploration Program

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2014) - Valterra Resource Corporation ("Valterra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:VQA) (FRANKFURT:3VA) (reported today that it has paid the cash consideration and issued the share consideration for the earn-in requirement on the Bobcaygeon Graphite property which is now in good standing until December 2014. Since acquisition of the option Valterra has spent approximately $450,000 on exploration and development of the extensive claim block comprising some 190 square kilometres of mining claims, leases and graphite rights on patented land located near the town of Bobcaygeon, southern Ontario.

The Company plans, subject to completion of equity funding, a multi-faceted exploration program which includes further drill testing, surface trenching and sampling toward the development of a mineral resource on the project. An initial program comprising up to 1500 metres of drilling and eight to ten trenches is planned for spring and summer 2014.

Bobcaygeon Project

The Bobcaygeon Graphite Property consists of a series of parallel graphitic zones measuring from 1.0 metre to +100 metres wide which can be traced locally for up to 2000 metres in strike length. At least six flake graphite-bearing zones have been located on surface and numerous other targets are indicated over a +24km strike-length; all of which require further definition before the full potential of the project can be determined. The project is favorably situated in Precambrian calcitic marble of the Grenville Province with four past producing flake-graphite mines located to the northeast of the property and within the same geological belt.

Previous work on the project included: reconnaissance mapping and prospecting; backhoe excavator trenching; diamond drilling; surface geophysics; and whole rock/multi-element analyses. Sampling has identified extensive areas of anomalous to high-grade graphite throughout the property.

High-grade graphite horizons (+5% Cg) occur at both the Discovery and Salerno zones. Trenching at the Discovery zone has uncovered a high-grade vein which returned graphite values of 36.8% Cg over 1.5m, 20.2% Cg over 1.4m, 14.6% Cg over 0.7m. Sampling and mapping has extended the projection of the Discovery zone mineralization to over 600 metres and now defines a priority drill target that is supported by recent EM and IP/Res geophysics on the property.

Historic drilling in the 1990's at the Salerno zone (for zinc) identified graphite-bearing stratigraphy over a +2km strike length. Mapping in the area has identified two different graphite horizons and sampling has confirmed the high-grade potential of this newly developed occurrence. Current planning would test a +4km cumulative strike-length of the target area.

Further regional work including mapping, prospecting and trenching is planned to delineate the full extent of the graphitic stratigraphy throughout the property.
