Minterra Resource Corp. (“Minterra" or the “Company") is very pleased to announce additional results from the phase 1 drilling at the Majuba Hill Project in Nevada. A total of 4,125 feet in 9 reverse-circulation drill holes was drilled within the patented claims which are 100% owned by the Company (see Project Area Map). Very encouraging copper results were returned in 7 of the 8 holes submitted for analysis. Drill hole MH-1 was abandoned and no samples were submitted. Significant copper intervals calculated using a 0.2% cutoff are:

MH-2 (Reported September 5, 2007) 230 feet @ 0.37% Cu (160 to 390 feet)
With: 15 feet @ 0.92% Cu (235 to 250 ft) and 25 feet @ 1.36% Cu (295 to 320 ft)
MH-3 70 feet @ 0.59% Cu (220 to 290 feet)
MH-4 30 feet @ 0.21% Cu (300 to 330 feet)
MH-5 290 feet @ 0.49% Cu (0 to 290 feet)
With: 15 feet @ 1.18% Cu (0 to 15 ft)
MH-6 145 feet @ 0.49% Cu (0 to 145 feet)
With: 10 feet @ 1.04% Cu (10 to 20 ft) and 15 feet @ 0.94% Cu (110 to 125 ft)
MH-7 315 feet @ 0.34% Cu (85 to 400 feet)
With: 15 feet @ 1.05% Cu (165 to 180 ft)
MH-8 10 feet @ 0.37% Cu (65 to 75 feet)



The phase 1 drill program was targeting oxide zones similar to the historic Copper Stope area; up to 150 feet wide and 400 feet long (see Myler Target Zone map). The drill results received indicate that the Myler Zone is much larger than the Company had originally anticipated. A very large zone of oxidized copper is indicated by the drill results in total. Only three five foot intervals contained less that 0.001% Cu and when all of the intervals are averaged together the average is 0.13% Cu for the entire volume tested by the phase 1 program. These drill results when combined with surface sampling, geologic mapping and historic soil sample data indicate the Myler Zone target is at least 800 feet long, 700 feet wide with at least 650 feet vertical extent.

Sample collection was completed using a wet splitter by Lang Exploratory drilling personnel and was supervised on-site by Minterra geologists. Samples were delivered directly to the ALS Chemex sample preparation facility in Winnemucca Nevada. All assays were completed by ALS Chemex. Copper analysis for MH-2 was performed using conventional ICP analysis with an aqua regia digest. QA/QC includes a series of standards and blank pulps inserted within the submitted samples. The aqua regia digestion is suitable for the dissolving the leachable portion of the metals. Assays for holes MH-3 to MH-9 utilized a four acid digestion which will return near-total dissolution of all the metals. Soluble copper analyses are currently in progress to determine specific leach characteristics.

Additional Private Land Acquired
In addition to the 88 unpatented mining claims have been staked earlier (NR September 5, 2007) Minterra has completed a letter agreement to acquire 100% ownership of the surface of section 35 which lies adjacent to the Myler Zone target. Minterra had previously acquired private ownership of the minerals in section 35 when it purchased the historic Majuba patented mining claims. The Company now has a private mineral and surface as well as unpatented mining claim holding that covers approximately 6.5 square miles.
