(TSXV: BTR) (OTCQX: BONXF) (FSE: 9BR2) (\"Bonterra\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the completion of a high-resolution helicopter-borne gravity survey and the commencement of a ground induced polarization (\"IP\") survey at its Desmaraisville North and South Properties (the \"Properties\"). These comprehensive gravity and IP surveys are expected to assist the Company in its 2024 exploration program by generating exploration targets.Bonterra contracted Sander Geophysics Ltd (\"SGL\") based in Ottawa, Ontario to conduct a high-resolution helicopter-borne gravity survey on its Properties (Figure 1). The survey consisted of a total of 1,583 line-kilometers (\"km\") at 200 meters (\"m\") flight-line spacing and flown at a 60 m elevation over the entirety of the Properties. The purpose of the survey is to identify potential target areas of gold enrichment in enhanced basement alteration associated with large structural corridors and as well to identify potential targets for base metals (Zn, Pb and Ag) and strategic metals (Ni and Cu) associated with volcanic and ultramafic geological environments. The survey was completed in November and preliminary data has already been received. The final report and interpretations are expected by year end.Bonterra has also contracted Abitibi Geophysics Inc. (\"AG\") of Val-d'Or, Quebec to carry out an 85 line-km OreVision® 2D IP survey at its Desmaraisville South Property (Figure 2). The survey consists of a total of 80 line-km with a configuration of a = 37.5 m and n = 1 to 20 for a depth of investigation of 300 m. The surveyed area covers the Opawica-Guercheville corridor of deformation where numerous gold showings have been previously discovered and historical gold mineral resources have been estimated. The survey is expected to be completed by year end and will be used in combination with the gravity survey to identify and explore disseminated and massive sulfide mineralized zones in the Company's as part of the Company's 2024 exploration program.In early December, Bonterra mobilized one drill rig south of the old Coniagas Mine to drill test the deep southwest plunge of a zinc...
