Minterra Resource Corp. (“Minterra" or the “Company") is very pleased to announce encouraging gold results from the ongoing surface rock chip sampling program at the Majuba Hill Project in Nevada. The rock chip sampling program has returned 10.115 ppm gold (0.293 opt Au) from the surface and 1.21 ppm gold (0.035 opt Au) from an underground sample. The sampling program is directed to sampling outcropping bedrock on the road cuts in the primary target areas, underground characterization samples, and exploring the broader mineral potential of the Majuba Hill intrusive complex (see Aerial View of Project Area). The high grade sample was taken immediately adjacent to the Myler Target Zone where phase 1 drilling returned good copper and silver results reported on October 24, 2007 (see Myler Target Photo Looking Northeast) showing phase 1 drilling and high grade gold locations.

Three primary target zones have been identified (see Target Zones Looking North). The primary target zones are based on phase 1 drilling, surface mapping, copper results from the rock chip sampling program and historical soil sampling results showing large zones of anomalous copper.

A geophysical (IP survey) program is currently in progress to explore for the large-target potential of the Majuba Hill intrusive complex.

The Myler Target Zone is on Minterra’s 100% owned patented claims and is delineated by the copper results from phase 1 drilling (see news release dated ) drill results designated as “MH�? on attached photo, surface rock chip sampling designated as “MHR�? on attached photo, geologic mapping, and historic copper in soil samples. The zone appears to cover an area 800 feet long, 700 wide and has a potential depth starting from the surface of at least 650 feet. MHR-66, the high grade (0.293 opt gold) surface rock chip sample, is 5 feet long and within a 17 foot zone of altered siltstone and intrusive dike. Gold was also returned in the two adjacent samples; MHR-64 (2 foot long; dike) 0.505 ppm gold (0.015 opt Au) and 3.56 ppm silver and MHR-65 (10 foot long; siltstone) 0.135 ppm gold. The high grade zone is cross cut by quartz veinlets. Additional samples have been delivered to ALS Chemex for analysis.

The Line Drive Adit Target Area is on Minterra’s 100% controlled unpatented mining claims and the underground chip channel sampling, taken to characterize the exploration potential, returned a 1.21 ppm gold (0.035 opt Au) and 174 ppm silver (5.1opt Ag). The target area is delineated by surface and underground outcrop and chip-channel samples combined with the historic soil geochemical date. This target zone is approximately 950 feet long, 650 feet wide and has a potential depth starting from the surface to at least 500 feet.

The Section 35 Target is on the 100% owned section 35 and appears to be 2150 feet long, 650 feet wide and has a potential depth starting from the surface of at least 400 feet. This target zone is delineated by surface rock chip samples and the historic soil geochemical sample data.
