ROUYN-NORANDA, Oct. 20, 2016 - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Michael Ferreira as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra effectively immediately.

Mr. Dallaire will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as a Director of X-Terra.

Mr. Ferreira has been working with public and private companies as an independent advisor for more than five years, primarily in the junior mining sector and most recently, Mr. Ferreira was the Vice President Operations of X-Terra.

Because of his past role and relationship with X-Terra's management team and shareholders, Michael is uniquely qualified and proven himself ready to assume a more senior role in the administration and affairs of the company.
