VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 23, 2013) - BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BTR)(BONXF)(9BR.F) (the "Company" or "BonTerra") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Gold Royalties Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GRO) ("Gold Royalties") to sell a 1% net smelter return royalty interest (the "NSR") on the Eastern Extension Gold Property, located in Urban Barry Township near historic Val D'Or, Québec. The terms of the LOI stipulate that Gold Royalties will purchase the NSR for 1,000,000 common shares of Gold Royalties (the "Share Consideration") at a deemed price of $0.50 per Gold Royalties Share (the "Transaction").

Closing of the Transaction, which is expected to occur on or before November 15, 2013 is subject to certain conditions, including execution of a binding definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). One-half of the Share Consideration will be provided to BonTerra at Closing, with the balance of the Share Consideration provided to BonTerra six months from the date of Closing. All securities issued will be subject to the standard TSXV 4 month hold period.

BonTerra President and CEO, Nav Dhaliwal, states: "Gold Royalties has presented the Company with a unique partnership and strategy to continue to develop our Eastern Extension Property. Gold Royalties recently made its royalty entry into the Urban-Barry Gold Camp earlier this year when it acquired a 1% NSR royalty on the Barry Gold Deposit operated by Metanor Resources Inc. This is the first of many steps we, at the Company, are striving to make to clean up our balance sheet, service our existing debts and finance the Company in order to continue to develop what we feel to be a world class asset in a challenging gold market."
