Teras Continues to Receive Positive Assay Results from Drilling at Its Cahuilla Project

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - April 10, 2012) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TRA): is pleased to announce assay results from its most recent reverse circulation drill campaign at the Cahuilla gold-silver project in Imperial County, California.

The significant intercepts listed below were encountered in the south-central mineralized area of the precious metal deposit within the general vicinity of where the very high grade gold and silver values (up to 135.36 g/t or 3.948 opt gold in CAH-139 and 983.00 g/t or 28.7 opt silver in CAH-142) were intersected in November and December of last year. Drilling was focused along the northern and eastern margins of this highly prospective area with the objective of extending historic gold and silver mineralization into relatively untested areas.

The Company is pleased to report the following results as they continue to significantly enhance precious metal mineralization at Cahuilla.

(i) Holes CAH-169 and 173 were terminated before reaching their projected depths as a result of difficult ground conditions and poor sample recovery.


Results of this most recent round of drilling continue to be very encouraging as demonstrated by the discovery of many new higher grade gold veins throughout the north and northeastern portion of this area where few veins had been encountered in historic drilling. For example, drill holes CAH-170 and 173, which are located along the central-north boundary of this mineralized area, intersected a total of four veins that assayed more than 7 g/t gold over widths of 1.5m. CAH-176 was drilled more than 100 meters east of these newly discovered veins and encountered significant thicknesses of low to moderate grade gold in addition to a higher grade zone that assayed more than 15 g/t gold over 1.5m.

Assaying of the reverse circulation samples was conducted by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Drill samples were collected by Mr. Paul Stubble (project geologist), split on site, placed in sample bags and delivered to Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada for analysis. In addition, blanks and certified standards have been inserted into the sample stream at random intervals for quality control purposes.

The Cahuilla Project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple high grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization. For further information on the Cahuilla project refer to the NI 43-101 technical report entitled "Cahuilla Property 43-101 Technical Report," dated October 25, 2007 prepared by Todd Wakefield, MAusIMM of AMEC E&C Services filed on Sedar on November 15, 2007.

Dale A Vitone P. Eng., registered with the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, Alberta and North West Territories and a Director for Teras, is the Company's nominated qualified person responsible for monitoring the supervision and quality control of the programs completed on the Company's properties. Mr. Vitone has reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this news release.


About Teras

The Company is focused on developing its Cahuilla project located in Imperial County, California. The project encompasses an area of at least 3 km by 1.5 km and demonstrates the potential for a large-scale, bulk mining operation consisting of altered and mineralized sedimentary host rocks containing numerous sheeted high grade quartz veins. Grades of the host rock are equivalent to grades of gold reserves at New Gold's Mesquite Mine, also in Imperial County, California (0.56 g/t; Mineral Reserves and Resources Summary as of December 31, 2011 on the New Gold website). Teras will continue drilling at Cahuilla to define a gold resource complaint to the standards required for a new NI 43-101 resource report and continue developing a gold resource for future extraction.
