BONTERRA INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE GOLD IN NEW ZONE AT MOROY
Bonterra Resources Inc. has discovered a new zone of gold mineralization at the Moroy project. Recently completed diamond drill hole intercepts in the new zone, referred to as the M4 zone, are summarized in the included table. Highlights include:
- 18.09 grams per tonne gold over 3.6 metres in hole MY19-158;
- 18.39 g/t Au over 2.94 m in hole MY19-161;
- 11.09 g/t Au over 11.41 m in hole MY19-166.
The Moroy deposit is located on the company's 125-square-kilometre Bachelor Lake property, approximately 225 km northeast of Val d'Or and is located south of the Bachelor mine. Mineralization at Moroy consists of quartz veins with minor pyrite hosted by hematite, sericite, quartz and pyrite altered volcanic rocks. Mineralization previously delineated at Moroy and included in the company's mineral resource estimate (May 28, 2019) consists dominantly of a westerly striking and steeply north-dipping (approximately 60 to 80 degrees) vein system. In contrast, the M4 zone dips shallowly, approximately 20 to 30 degrees (to the north-northwest). The delineation of the M4 zone represents a newly recognized orientation for mineralization at Moroy.
Greg Gibson, company president and chief executive officer, stated: "We are thrilled with our drilling results to date, especially the discovery of high-grade gold within the Moroy project at our M4 target area. These results demonstrate the tremendous prospectivity of the company's district-scale holdings."

Analyses and quality assurance/quality control
Gold analyses of Moroy drill core are completed at the Bachelor mine assay laboratory. The company employs an industry standard QA/QC program that includes duplicate analyses from pulp and coarse rejects, and the use of certified reference materials and blanks. Check assays on a minimum of 10 per cent of the samples are completed at ALS Laboratories in Val d'Or.
