Majuba Drilling and Field Program Underway

VANCOUVER, BC - Minterra Resource Corp. reported that a 4,500 foot reverse-circulation drill program is underway at the Majuba Hill Project. This is a focused drill program designed to explore the Line Drive and Section 35 Induced Polarization chargeability anomalies identified during the geophysical program completed in the 4th quarter of 2007. Four holes will test the two anomalies. These anomalies underlie and are adjacent to surface oxide copper-bearing zones discovered earlier in the 2007 field season.
One hole is planned for the Myler Zone to expand the leachable copper
mineralization outlined in 2007. The 2007 Phase 1 drilling returned up to
315 feet of leachable copper as well as significant silver intervals.
Project-wide surface and underground field mapping and sampling
programs are also underway. The project-wide program is designed
to define and refine additional drill targets associated with
historic mines such as the Last Chance Mine area (which was a historic
silver-lead-gold mine) and expand on 2007 rock chip sampling
results.
Minterra is focused on gold and copper-gold exploration in the Great Basin of Nevada, currently having six active projects in the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, the Walker Lane, and the Western Nevada Gold Belt. Minterra plans in 2008 to drill the copper anomaly at Majuba Hill and gold anomalies at Golden Snow, Agate Pass, and Fish.
