21.12.2016  |  DGAP
Vancouver, December 21, 2016: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, US: BONXF, FSE: 9BR1) (the "Company" or "BonTerra") is pleased to review a year of significant growth for the Company encompassing strategic corporate financings, multiple acquisitions in Ontario and Quebec, discovery and project/resource advancements in Quebec, and the building of a dynamic and experienced team to lead the Company going forward. In 2017, BonTerra will be expanding and building on the Gladiator Deposit size, ultimately with the goal of establishing a stand-alone producer, along with its ongoing acquisition and project development strategy in both Quebec and Ontario.

During the year, we remained focused on ensuring each step was strategic to clearly provide a path to being able to develop a portfolio of assets that would deliver significant gold resource portfolio. In 2017, we will be in a position to complete two key resource development programs at our 100% controlled gold projects in Quebec and Ontario, respectively the Gladiator Gold Deposit and the Larder Lake Gold Project, where each project has the potential to yield multi-million-ounce resource deposits. I would like to thank each of our shareholders for their support during 2016 and in addition to the dedication of our amazing team in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. We expect 2017 to be the year of significant re-rating for BonTerra, and an elevated presence amongst our peers."
