John Greenslade, President of Minterra Resource Corp. (the "Company"), advises that, at the request of the Company, its shares were halted from trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. The trading halt was requested in reaction to increased trading activity and an increase in trading price while a diamond drill program was underway on the Company's Star Property, located in the Omineca Mining Division, Northern British Columbia.

Previous prospecting identified eight zones of mineralization containing magmatic

Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd) bearing sulphides of chalcopyrite (copper-Cu) and pyrrhotite, disseminated throughout gently dipping olivine clinopyroxenite and pyroxenite layers. (see News release November 4, 2003).

An induced polarization, of chargeability, resistivity and self potential geophysical survey was conducted in 2003 on three (3) separate grids - referred to as the Haslinger A ("HA"), Haslinger C ("HC") and the GL-Queen areas. The survey grid covered 3.225 line kilometres. The geophysical survey delineated shallow-dipping sulphide mineralized layers on the HA, HC and GL "zones". The HA, HC and GL zones can be traced in outcrops for at least 5 kilometres (only a small portion of which has been covered by the current geophysical program). Chargeability readings reach up to 115 milliseconds, which generally represent extremely high sulphide content. All chargeability anomalies can be traced to mineralized outcrops on surface containing chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite. Previous bedrock grab samples from these mineralized outcrops returned values up to 1.1% copper, up to 1.1 grams of platinum and up to 1.5 grams of palladium. Sporadic values of nickel and cobalt are also found in these mineralized layers. (See News release dated November 20, 2003).

The GL and HC Zones are 2 of 8 "zones" that contain mineralized sulphide layers within the Polaris Ultramafic Complex. A preliminary 8 diamond drill hole program (NQ core) has now been completed. Originally 12 drill holes were proposed, however, the program ended sooner due to having to drill deeper holes, as strong sulphide mineralization continued beyond the originally programmed depths, and also due to increased costs and delays resulting from inclement weather. Three diamond drill holes (GL 1 to 3) were drilled in the GL zone. Five diamond drill holes (HC 1 to 5) were drilled in the HC zone. The total drilled in both zones was 3,423 feet (1,044.04 m).

The Company is pleased to announce that the first analytical results for diamond drill holes GL-3 and HC-2 have been received. The GL zone is approximately 5 kilometers south of the HC zone.
