CONCERNED SHAREHOLDER OF BONTERRA RESOURCES CIRCULATES A DISSIDENT CIRCULAR PROPOSING NEW DIRECTORS
Vancouver, BC,-(Symbol-TSX-V: BTR)-Thomas Clarke (the "Concerned Shareholder"), has prepared a Dissident Proxy Circula
--->r proposing a Replacement Board of Directors (the "Dissidents") for BonTerra Resources Inc (the "Company" or "BonTerra
--->"). He is soliciting Proxies to be voted at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company to be held on January 14
--->, 2013 at 10:00am at Suite 700-595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.  
Together with other concerned shareholders the Concerned Shareholder has obtained the Proxy for 5.47% or 4,847,294 of 
--->the issued and outstanding common shares of Company. SHAREHOLDERS WISHING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE DISSIDENT BOARD OF D
--->IRECTORS AND WHO OWNED SECURITIES OF BONTERRA AS OF MARKET CLOSE ON DECEMBER 10, 2012 ("SHAREHOLDERS") MAY DOWNLOAD TH
--->E DISSIDENT CIRCULAR AND FORM OF GREEN PROXY AT: http://shareholdermeeting.twillar.com
SHAREHOLDERS MAY COMPLETE THIS FORM OF GREEN PROXY AND RETURN THEIR GREEN PROXIES TO THE CONCERNED SHAREHOLDER NO LATE
--->R THAN 5:00PM (VANCOUVER TIME) ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 9, 2013 IN ORDER TO BE DEPOSITED WITH THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT
---> AND BE VOTED AT THE AGM.
The Concerned Shareholder proposes to replace the current Directors of BonTerra except Mr. Robert Bryce should he wish
---> to continue his service to the Company. The Concerned Shareholder proposes a new, highly educated, qualified and expe
--->rienced Board of Directors (the "Dissident Directors") whose objectives will be to enhance shareholder value through t
--->he development of the Company's assets the resumption of exploration activities and improvement the corporate governan
--->ce of the Company. 
The Dissident Directors are as follows:
Thomas Clarke, Pr.Sci.Nat. , MSc, BSc (Hons.), BSc (Director, President & Geologist) 
Bryan Loree, CMA , BA (Director, Chief Financial Officer & Corporate Secretary)
Kevin Brewer, P.Geo. , MBA, BSc (Hons.) (Independent Director & Geologist)
Jose Perez, B.Com. (Independent Director & Corporate Development)
Each of Messrs. Clarke, Loree, Brewer & Perez has consented to act as a Director of BonTerra.
The concerned shareholders, after reviewing the management information circular (the "Management Circular") have lost 
--->confidence in the current Board of Directors and management of BonTerra. 
There has been a dramatic increase in the compensation paid to Officers of the Corporation while BonTerra's stock pric
--->e has collapsed nearly 80% between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. 
During 2011 the Corporation has raised a total of $1,852,199 in two financings as disclosed on www.sedar.com. Little i
--->f any of these funds seem to have been invested in exploration. An announced Private Placement has not been completed.
---> This might be detrimental to the Corporation.
During the year major changes have been made to the Board of BonTerra which appear to represent a significant change o
--->f corporate culture and a move away from focusing efforts on creating shareholder value by not actively working the Co
--->mpany's Quebec gold Properties (the "Properties"). 
The Concerned Shareholder feels that in light of management's failure to practice prudence in tough market conditions,
---> failure to advance the Company's Properties and unnecessary dilution of BonTerra's share capital he is within his rig
--->hts to publically file a Dissident Proxy Circular and solicit GREEN PROXIES in the support of the election of the prop
--->osed slate of Dissident Directors.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT'S NOMINEES AND RESOLUTIONS, YOU MAY CHANGE YOUR VOTE BY SUBMITT
--->ING A GREEN PROXY WITH A LATER DATE.
