Larder Lake Gold Project Description:

• -The Larder Lake Property is located in Eastern Ontario, in the McVittie and McGarry Townships, near the town of Virginiatown.

  -The Bear Lake deposit hosts a historical inferred mineral resource* (2011, P+E Mining) of 3,750,000 tonnes at 5.7 g/t (683,000 oz). The Cheminis deposit contains a historical indicated mineral resource* (2011, P+E Mining) of 335,000 tonnes at 4.1 g/t (43,800 oz) and inferred of 1,391,000 tonnes at 5.2 g/t (233,400 oz).

  -The Larder Lake Gold Property straddles 9 km strike length of the Cadillac/Larder Lake break, a prolific regional fault zone that hosts numerous historic and active gold mines, including the historic Kerr Addison mine located about 5 km east of the Larder Lake Project (11 million ounces of gold produced during its mine operation).

  -Extensive infrastructure including a paved highway crosses the length of the Property, various areas of the project are easily accessible by truck or all-terrain vehicles on non-serviced roads and trails, and an Ontario Hydro power line also runs along the length of the Property.

  -Central to the Larder Lake Gold Property is the Cheminis Property, otherwise known as the Cheminis Mine, which includes a vertical shaft to a depth of 1,085 feet, with six levels of which the deepest is at 1,035 feet. Intermittent past production from the Cheminis Mine has totaled approximately 260,000 tons at a recovered grade of approximately 0.104 ounces Au/ton.

  -Gold Fields entered into an option in 2012 to earn a 60% interest in the Bear Lake properties by spending $40 million in exploration and development. After 3 years of work, they terminated their option last year when Gold Fields terminated all exploration activities worldwide. Kerr Mines is in possession of their results and data.

Disclosure of Historical Estimates*:

The Larder Lake Project contains a historical resource estimate completed in August 15, 2011 by P&E Mining Consultants titled "43-101 Technical Report and Updated Resource Estimates on the Larder Lake Property, Larder Lake, Ontario for Bear Lake Gold Ltd." BonTerra considers this resource estimate to be historical; it has not independently verified them, and therefore they should no longer be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and BonTerra is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

In relation to the transaction, the Company paid a finder's fee of 558,908 common shares to an arm's length third party.
