He holds a B.Sc. Geology, is a "Qualified Person" in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

Mr. Thomas K. (Toby) Mancuso is a well-respected mine development geologist with more than 40 years of experience in exploration, operations and management of various mining companies. Mr. Mancuso previously held the position of President and CEO of Western Goldfields Inc. (now New Gold Inc.) and is credited with purchasing the operating Mesquite Mine in southern California from Newmont. Mr. Mancuso was also Senior Geologist for Freeport Gold Company and Chief Geologist for Kennecott Corporation where he specialized in advancing projects from exploration to production. At Kennecott, he began managing the Cahuilla project in 1993 and has been involved with the property to date. Mr. Mancuso is presently Managing Director for NexGen Mining, Inc. and operates his own company, Mancuso Resource Development Services, LLC. He received his M.S. Geology at the University of Idaho School of Mines and B.SC. Geology from Bowling Green State University.

The Utah Clipper gold-silver-base metal project is located in Lander County, Nevada in one of the most highly prospective precious metal regions in Nevada and the world. The state of Nevada has played host to more than 150 million ounces of existing gold resources and historic production and the project is situated on the highly prolific Battle Mountain-Eureka mineralizing trend adjacent to Barrick's Pipeline gold mine. The project exhibits exceptional exploration potential for both precious and base metals within a large land position comprised of both patented and unpatented claims.

Multiple targets have been identified on the Clipper claims as summarized below:

• High grade shallow lead-silver system; historical direct shipping ore assayed 114.6 oz/ton (3,925 gm) silver and 40.4% lead
• High grade deeper Carlin-type gold system confirmed by drilling that intersected anomalous gold within classic Carlin-type alteration
• Copper-zinc system with samples assaying up to 12.9 oz/ton (441 gm) silver, 2.2% copper, 1.4% zinc that were intersected in historic drilling

A map illustrating the location of the Clipper project, Battle Mountain-Eureka mineralizing trend and surrounding gold mines follows:

Peter Leger, President and CEO of Teras Resources, commented "We are very excited regarding this significant move forward for Teras. We are not only adding value by the acquisition of a high-profile project within the most prolific precious metal mining region in the United States, but also our new, highly experienced management team can now advance Cahuilla as well as our other projects to a whole new level in a very timely manner. In addition, we will have the internal expertise to evaluate, acquire, model and develop projects from exploration to mine production. Expanding the team to this degree will shorten the path to successfully increasing the value of Teras for our shareholders."

Steve Craig, President and CEO of NVM remarked "I have always focused on building shareholder value by advancing assets through sound exploration principles and utilizing shareholder investments properly and prudently. Cahuilla is a familiar project to me as I managed the Kennecott group when the property was brought into the company in 1993. I have always liked Cahuilla and felt the project has excellent potential to become a world-class precious metal producer."

"Studying the project in detail over the last few months confirms to me that with the work Teras has done over the years and the current plan being developed by our combined management will advance Cahuilla resulting in a much larger resource base. I am excited to bring my team into a company with great projects and future as we intend to make Teras successful on multiple fronts."

Teras will grant 3.5 million options to purchase common shares of the Company to directors, officers, and consultants of NVM in accordance with the Company's stock option plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.09 per share. The expiry date of the options will be 5 years from the date of issuance.

Teras has determined that there are exemptions available from the various requirements of TSX Venture Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 for the issuance of the options to the directors and officers of Teras (Formal Valuation - Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets; Minority Approval - Fair Market Value Not More Than 25% of Market Capitalization).

Subject to the TSX Venture approval Teras has extended the terms of its $0.15 Warrants set to expire on July 4, 2018 to July 4, 2019 and its $0.24 Warrants set to expire on July 22, 2018 to July 22, 2019.

About Teras

Teras is focused on developing its Cahuilla project located in Imperial County, California. The project encompasses an area of at least 3 km by 1.5 km and Teras believes that the Cahuilla project has the potential to develop into a mining operation consisting of altered and mineralized sedimentary host rocks with numerous high-grade sheeted quartz veins. Teras filed a NI 43-101 technical report with an indicated resource of 1.0 million ounces of gold and 11.9 million ounces of silver on its Cahuilla project (70 million tons at an average grade of 0.015 ounces per ton gold and 0.17 ounces per ton silver with a cut-off of 0.008 ounces per ton gold) and inferred resource of 10 million tons grading 0.011 opt gold and 0.10 opt silver. Gold equivalent ounces are 1.2 million ounces in indicated class and 130,000 ounces in inferred class using a ratio of 55 ounces silver to 1 ounce of gold.
