Minterra Resource Corp. (“Minterra" or the “Company") is very pleased to announce it has received results from drill hole MH-2. The 670 foot reverse-circulation drill hole contained copper throughout the 650 foot long assayed interval (20’ to 670’) that averaged 0.16% leachable copper and 0.235 opt silver. Included within this zone are the following intervals:

• 230 feet (160’ to 390’) with 0.37% copper and 0.434 opt silver
• 25 feet (295’ to 320’) with 1.36% copper and 0.327 opt silver
• 10 feet (485’ to 495’) with 0.52% copper and 0.233 opt silver

The drilling program was completed on August 25, 2007 and drilled 4,125 feet in 9 reverse-circulation drill holes as shown on the attached phase 1 drill hole map. All of the drilling was on private, patented claims which are 100% owned by Minterra. The Phase 1 drilling was designed to drill test a zone with characteristics similar to historic workings from which D.L. Stevens (University of Nevada Masters of Science Thesis) reported cumulative historic production of 2.2 million lbs of copper (Minterra News Release June 4, 2007 - This data is historical information and is not N.I. 43-101 compliant and should not be considered reliable and is relevant only because it discloses the presence of a mineralized system at the Majuba hill prospect that has the potential for discovery of possible copper, gold, silver, lead and tin resources at this prospect.).

As shown on the Interpretive cross section a mineralized copper envelope has been interpreted based on the assays received for drill hole MH-2 and the visible copper oxides and carbonates identified in drill holes MH-4, -5, -6, and -7. Copper oxide and carbonate was noted in all 9 drill holes. Drill hole MH-1 was abandoned at 80 feet and the sample intervals have not been submitted. Assays for the remaining drill holes are in progress.



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 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. All additional assays will utilize a four acid digestion which will return near-total dissolution of all the metals.

Drilling and geologic evaluation completed to date supports Minterra’s interpretation that Majuba Hill is a porphyry copper system with high-sulfidation-style mineralization in the upper 1,000 feet of the main project area. This is similar to the description of Newmont Mining Corporations Yanacocha District by Lewis Teal and Peter Bell. They describe structurally controlled intrusive rocks associated with the gold-copper mineralization in the deeper parts of the deposit cut by “phreatic and phreatomagmatic breccias". Majuba Hill has the same type of geologic setting which has been described by MacKenzie and Bookstrom in Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Bulletin 86. Copper and silver (Teal and Bell) were the original metals targeted at Yanacocha with gold later discovered in association with the high-sulfidation alteration. Surface sampling by Minterra at Majuba has returned gold values (1.2 ppm (0.035 opt) gold) during the reconnaissance sampling program and published data in the U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1046 reported 0.15 opt gold at Majuba.

An additional 88 unpatented mining claims have been staked; bringing the total project area to approximately 5 square miles.
