BonTerra Significantly Extends East Plunge of the Gladiator Deposit by 250 Meters with 5.5 m of 70 g/t Gold

Vancouver, BC - November 16, 2016: BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, US: BONXF, FSE: 9BR1) (the "Company" or "BonTerra") is pleased to announce that it has significantly extended its Gladiator Gold Zones by over 250 m down plunge and to the east with multiple intersections of high grades and meaningful widths. Assays from an additional seven (7) holes from its 2016 Exploration and Drill Program on its 100% owned Gladiator Gold Project located north of Val d'Or, Québec have been received from the eastern extension and are reported below. Drilling continues with one rig on the deep eastern portion of the deposit while a second rig has been added and is underway at the west end strike extension toward the Rivage zone (see attached longitudinal section). A number of holes are in various stages of processing ie. logging and assaying from both drills.

Highlights and Observations:

- Drill Hole BA-16-39, targeting the lowest and easternmost extents of the Gladiator zones, generated multiple gold bearing horizons including a high grade intersection of 70.0 g/t over 5.5 meters at the eastern extent of the deposit and at over 600 meters in depth below surface. Drill BA-16-38, located the zone an additional 50 meters lower in depth and 100 meters to the east, intersected 12.4 g/t over 4.0 meters.

- Drill holes 31, 38 and 39 also intersected the Main Zone below an eastern plunging mineralized felsic porphyritic unit that appears to coincide with the overall plunge of the deposit.

- Mineralization consists of pyrite, sphalerite and free visible gold contained within quartz veining and alteration near or at a mafic contact with the felsic porphyry.

- Core axis angles of the intersection contacts and surrounding rock units vary between 45 to 65 degrees.

- The drilled dimensions of the Gladiator Deposits, to-date, are outlined to a depth of 650 meters below surface. Current strike length has now been drilled to 700 meters in length

- The company is set to begin drilling the gap between the Rivage zone to the west and the Main zones in order to demonstrate a potential total strike length of over 1,200 meters.

Nav Dhaliwal, President and CEO of BonTerra, commented: "On the back of our very successful winter drilling campaign that significantly expanded the Gladiator Gold Deposit to the west, we made the decision to concentrate on extending the east side and depth extensions of the deposit at a measured pace with one drill rig. This strategy has resulted in two major milestones: A major extension of grade and width eastward and to depth, and a much better understanding of the excellent continuity and predictability of the west side leading us to add an additional drill rig with the intention of proving that the Gladiator Gold Deposit could exceed 1,000 meters in strike length."

Dale Ginn, Vice President Exploration of BonTerra, added: "Our 2016 winter drilling campaign has proven that our Gladiator Gold Zones exhibit excellent continuity to the west and to depth. Our followup drill program was completed with the intention to methodically explore the eastern extensions at a measured pace over the summer months, while conducting ground geophysical and geochemical till programs over a majority of the large Bonterra land package. This summer's drilling program has matured greatly our understanding of the deposit and has given us the confidence to take a more aggressive stance on further strike length and depth expansion drilling this coming winter. The down plunge results are a further confirmation of the strength and potential breadth of this mineralized system. Our technical team looks forward to expanding this deposit to the west, east and to depth this winter. "
