Minterra Resource Corp. (“Minterra" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that the agreement has been finalized whereby E.L. “Buster" Hunsaker III will become Vice President of Exploration for the Company. Under an exclusive consulting arrangement with Hunsaker Inc he will devote 100% of his time to Minterra. Minterra is actively exploring for gold in Nevada. Hunsaker has been the primary consultant directing these programs for the past two year. During the last 25 years Mr. Hunsaker has been involved with exploration, evaluation, and discovery of gold deposits in Nevada. He has also designed, implemented, and managed exploration programs in Argentina and Mongolia. The Company believes that his addition to the experienced, mining management of Minterra will enhance the strength of Minterra’s exploration programs.

The addition of the infrastructure which Hunsaker Inc has in Nevada will help Minterra to capitalize on the recent success of its drilling at the Majuba Hill project (News Release September 5, 2007). Majuba Hill is a very exciting prospect that appears to be advancing into a large copper, silver, and gold project. Majuba Hill is one of 6 projects that Minterra has in the western Nevada Rift and the Battle Mountain-Eureka and Walker Lane Mineral Belts.

In Nevada the company has utilized a discovery-driven approach of geologic evaluation, geochemical sampling, and geophysics followed by drilling on early stage exploration projects. This time proven approach to exploration has led to a group of properties with a high likelihood of moving to advanced level projects.

The Company expects the dedicated exploration staff and infrastructure will accelerate the exploration program in Nevada. Minterra is primarily focused on:

• Majuba Hill Project (Western Nevada Rift)

Follow-up and expansion of favorable Phase 1 Drilling results
Project level surface and underground mapping, sampling, and improvement of the three dimensional exploration model
Development of additional targets based on mapping and sampling

• Agate Pass Project (Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend)

Mapping, sampling and three dimensional exploration model are in progress to follow-up earlier sampling of 0.015 ppm to 24.7 ppm gold (0.72 ounces gold per ton) and 0.06 ppm to 1120 ppm silver (32.6 ounces silver per ton); News Release July 18, 2007.

• Golden Snow (Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend)

Complete and permit specific drill hole targeting based on detailed mapping (in-progress), Minterra geochemistry and geophysics, and data acquired from Newmont Mining Corp.

• Fish, CPG, and IXL Projects

Project Stage mapping and sampling to follow up on gold, silver, and base-metal targets
