(the \"Company\" or \"Magna Terra\") (TSXV:MTT) is pleased to announce that it has started a 1,000 metre diamond drilling program (the \"Drill Program\") designed to test specific opportunities to expand the Rattling Brook Deposit (the \"Deposit\") on its 100% owned Great Northern Project (\"Great Northern\"), located in western Newfoundland (Exhibit A). The targets were generated based on recent mapping and prospecting programs as well as a comprehensive review of historic data, which identified the Apsy Feeder Zone - a previously untested mineralized structure that is continuous with, and northwest of the Deposit. The Drill Program will specifically test the relationship between the Apsy Feeder Zone and the area where it intersects the Deposit over 250 metres of strike with the goal of expanding mineralization (Exhibit B).Previous (1986 to 2007) select drill intercepts (core length) that partly define the Rattling Brook Deposit include:1.77 g/t grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold over 74.4 metres (2.3 to 76.7 metres; estimated true thickness (\"TT\") 60 metres), including 3.25 g/t gold over 22.7 metres in drill hole JA-05-35;1.13 g/t gold over 115.7 metres (45.0 to 160.7 metres; TT 70 metres) in drill hole JA-05-36;1.40 g/t gold over 84.6 metres (10.5 to 95.1 metres; TT 80 metres), including 8.62 g/t gold over 2.5 metres in drill hole JA-06-46;1.28 g/t gold over 75.6 metres (1.0 to 76.6 metres; TT 70 metres) in drill hole JA-06-53;3.92 g/t gold over 7.9 metres (112.6 to 120.5 metres; TT 5 metres), including 10.0 g/t gold over 1.4 metres in drill hole JA-06-60;1.01 g/t gold over 66.4 metres (15.5 to 81.9 metres; TT 60 metres) in drill hole JA-07-73;1.22 g/t gold over 56.5 metres (61.0 to 117.5 metres; TT 50 metres) in drill hole RB-30;1.07 g/t gold over 68.0 metres (115.6 to 183.6 metres; TT 60 metres), including 8.84 g/t gold over 1.0 metres in drill hole RB-40; and1.02 g/t gold over 66.5 metres (3.0 to 69.5 metres; TT 65 metres), including 7.86 g/t gold over 1.4 metres in drill hole JA-05-38.\"We are excited to be back drilling at Great Northern with the goal of testing priority exploration targets that we have developed since acquiring the...
