Bonterra Announces Results of Canada Revenue Agency Audit

Val-d’Or, QC – January 16, 2026 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) announces that the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA“) is completing a tax audit (the “Audit“) of the Company’s renunciation of Canadian exploration expenses (“CEE“) in favour of subscribers of the private placements of flow-through shares which closed in December 13, 2019 and October 21, 2021 (the “Flow-Through Financings“) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$16.96 million. Renunciations made pursuant to other flow-through offerings by the Company are not affected by the Audit.

CRA has notified the Company of CRA’s intention to reclassify approximately C$11.05 million of previously renounced CEE on the basis that they did not meet the definition of CEEs, as defined for income tax purposes (the “Proposed Tax Adjustments“). CRA’s notification relies on the incorrect assumption that the Moroy Deposit constitutes an extension of the Bachelor Mine, a finding that Bonterra strongly disagrees with. Bonterra has voiced its disagreement with the Proposed Tax Adjustments and the audit process followed by the CRA, and intends to continue to vigorously defend its position by objecting to any forthcoming notice of reassessment.

CRA will contact directly the subscribers of the Flow-Through Financings regarding a reassessment of deductions claimed in connection with the related CEEs. It is to be expected that the CRA will begin by providing notice of reassessments to subscribers in the December 2019 flow through financing (TIN#48427 and TIN#48428), with the other reassessment following later this year (TIN#49934). The Company anticipates that the reductions in renounced CEE will be made on a pro rata basis among all subscribers of the same financing. 

The Company agreed to indemnify subscribers for tax attributable to disallowed renunciations of CEE pursuant to the terms of the subscription and renunciation agreements entered into by the Company and the subscribers in connection with the Flow-Through Financings. The Company invites subscribers of the Flow-Through Financings who receive a notice of reassessment from CRA in connection with the Proposed Tax Adjustments to contact the Company as soon as possible in connection with this right of indemnification for more information about next steps. To support the Company’s appeal, subscribers may need to file a notice of objection in respect of their reassessment.

The maximum aggregate amount of the Company’s exposure with respect to the indemnification obligation from the Flow-Through Financings, together with interest and penalties payable to CRA, and anticipated Part XII.6 tax payable under section 211.91 of the Income Tax Act, is presently estimated to be approximately C$9.5 million, although the initial liability anticipated in respect of the initial reassessment’s that will be issued by CRA will be closer to C$3 million.  The Company expects to account for this liability in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.  This provision does not include any provision for the effect, if any, of the reclassification on provincial tax credits received by the Company.

The Company is actively working to address the obligations resulting from the Proposed Tax Adjustments and will provide additional information when available.

Bonterra Announces 2025 Exploration Plans at its 100% Owned Desmaraisville South Project

Val-d’Or, QC – July 9, 2025 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 2025 exploration plans at its 100% owned Desmaraisville South Project (the “Project”). During the first half of the year, Bonterra’s geology team has diligently worked on a comprehensive reinterpretation of the geological setting surrounding the Bachelor Mill Complex. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of VRIFY’s AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform known as DORA, the team has identified several high-potential drill targets. As a result, Bonterra is planning a 10,000 to 12,000 meters (“m”) drill program expected to be completed by year-end (See Figure 1, which highlights the targeted areas, including those selected with the assistance of VRIFY’s DORA). Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “At our 100% owned Desmaraisville South Project, Bonterra’s exploration strategy is focused on discovering new mineralized zones near the Bachelor Mill Complex. The 2025 exploration program builds on the success of the 2024 drilling campaign, which identified several high-priority targets. We also plan to test additional promising targets selected with the assistance of VRIFY’s DORA. With the recent completion of our upsized financing, Bonterra is fully funded to execute on this year’s exploration plans.”

2025 Exploration Plans

  • Drill 10,000 to 12,000 m near the Bachelor Mill Complex, including the Mistik 13, Hewfran and other targets, including a predominantly base metals target and VRIFY’s AI generated targets.
  • Carry out field work, focusing on mapping, soil and rock geochemical sampling.
  • Reinterpret the 2023 gravimetric geophysical surveys.

Bonterra Provides Exploration Updates at Phoenix JV with Gold Fields

Val-d’Or, QC – July 2nd, 2025 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide exploration updates being led by a 100% indirect subsidiary of Gold Fields Ltd (“Gold Fields” or the “Operator”) at the Phoenix JV (the “Project”). The Project is under a definitive earn-in and joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Gold Fields. Under the JV Agreement, Gold Fields has the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by spending C$30 million in work expenditures, with a minimum spending commitment of C$10 million per year over a three-year period (see press release dated November 28, 2023, for more details).

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “Progress at the Phoenix JV is well underway, with geophysical surveys, mapping, and soil sampling currently in progress. These initiatives, combined with a 15,000 meter drill program scheduled to begin in August, offer promising potential for new discoveries at the Phoenix JV, particularly at the Gladiator NE-Titan targets where near surface economic values have been intercepted before. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Gold Fields as we work to advance Quebec’s newest emerging gold camp.”

2025 Exploration Program updates

To date, over 65,000 meters (“m”) have been drilled, with approximately C$20 million invested in the Project under the JV Agreement. The current work includes two gravity surveys, one airborne and one ground base, as well as field activities such as soil sampling, prospecting and mapping of outcrops and review of historical trenches. Gold Fields is currently preparing a 15,000 m drill program, with final target selection subject to internal review and prioritization. Several promising targets have already been identified, based on historical gold showings, previous drill results, and geophysical survey data (see Figure 1). Gold Fields intends to deploy three drill rigs, primarily focused along the Barry Shear Zone at the Gladiator NE and Titan targets. The program will also explore additional areas including Duke NE, Chanceux, the Tourmaline Ridge Extension, Rouleau Till, and Cominco. Some of these targets exhibit multiple mineralized indicators, several of which show economically significant values. Additionally, field work combined with a gravity airborne survey is ongoing. The 2025 exploration program will generate new targets once the results are analyzed later this year.

Figure 1 – Phoenix JV Project – Surface Plan View with Completed Drill holes, Historical Drill Hole Assay Results and 2025 Drill Target Areas

Gladiator NE and Titan targets The Gladiator NE sector, including the Titan target, is crossed by the Barry Deformation Zone, hosts to the Gladiator deposit which contains 0.39 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral resources and 0.99 million ounces of Inferred Mineral resources, as reported in the 2021 mineral resource estimate (“2021 MRE”). Titan’s previous drill hole BA-18-116 returned an intersection of 12.4 g/t Au over 5.3 m and drill hole BRS 17-11 returned 7.7 g/t over 3.0 m, including 23.2 g/t over 1.0m (see Bonterra’s press release dated November 20, 2018, and January 21, 2019), confirming the discovery potential along the Barry fault (see Figure 2). The geological setting is similar to that of Gladiator deposit, with gabbroic sills and felsic intrusions associated with gold mineralization.

Bonterra Highlights Initial Drill Results from Gladiator SW Target; Announces 2025 Exploration Program at Phoenix JV with Gold Fields 

Val-d’Or, QC – March 19, 2025 – Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, OTCQX: BONXF, FSE: 9BR2) (“Bonterra” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the first assay results from the Gladiator Southwest (“Gladiator SW”) target and announce details of the 2025 exploration program being led by a 100% indirect subsidiary of Gold Fields Ltd (“Gold Fields” or the “Operator”) at the Phoenix JV (the “Project”). The Project is under a definitive earn-in and joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Gold Fields (previously, Osisko Mining Inc.). Under the JV Agreement, Gold Fields has the right to acquire a 70% interest in the Project by spending C$30 million in work expenditures, with a minimum spending commitment of C$10 million per year over a three-year period (see press release dated November 28, 2023, for more details). 

Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: “Gold Fields has achieved significant progress in exploration near their high-grade Windfall project, identifying multiple promising targets for further drilling. With over half of the planned joint venture expenditures already completed in the first year, we look forward to continued collaboration to advance Quebec’s newest emerging gold camp.” 

First Assay Results from the Gladiator SW Target 

To date, over 65,000 meters (“m”) have been drilled, with approximately C$18 million invested in the Project under the JV Agreement. This includes 5,700 m (13 drill holes) completed at the Gladiator SW Target along the Barry Shear Zone by the end of 2024 (see Figure 1 – Plan View of Gladiator SW Target). Additionally, a detailed review of core samples from both the Barry and Gladiator deposits was conducted to improve geological understanding. These deposits contain a combined 1.08 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral resources and 1.68 million ounces of Inferred Mineral resources, as reported in the 2021 mineral resource estimate (“2021 MRE”). 

Highlight at the Gladiator SW Target: 

  • 20.3 g/t Au over 1.5m, in hole PHX-24-0119 

2025 Phoenix JV Exploration Program Updates by Gold Fields 

Gold Fields is currently preparing a potential 15,000 m drill program, with final target selection subject to internal review and prioritization. Several promising targets have already been identified, based on historical gold showings, previous drill results, and geophysical survey data (see Figure 2 – Plan View of Target Areas on the Phoenix JV). 

Gold Fields intends to deploy three to four drill rigs, primarily focused along the Barry Shear Zone at the Gladiator NE and Titan targets. The program will also explore additional areas such as Duke NE, Chanceux, the Tourmaline Ridge extension, and Rouleau Till. Diamond drilling is expected to commence later this year upon approval. Additionally, a gravity airborne survey and associated fieldwork are being planned for the upcoming summer.

2) Assays are uncut except where indicated. 

3) Intercepts have not been correlated to individual zones or vein domains at this time. 

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols (adopted by Gold Fields) 

NQ core assays were obtained by either 1-kilogram screen fire assay or standard 50-gram fire-assaying-AA finish or gravimetric finish at ALS Laboratories in Val-d’Or, Québec, or Vancouver, British Colombia. The 1-kilogram screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or present a higher percentage of pyrite than surrounding intervals. All samples are also analyzed for multi-elements, including silver, using Four Acid Digestion-ICP-MS method at ALS Laboratories. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for QA/QC purposes by Gold Fields as well as the lab.
