Teras Continues to Expand Precious Metal Mineralization at Its Cahuilla Project with Recent Assay Results

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - April 26, 2012) - Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TRA): is pleased to announce recent assay results from its Cahuilla gold-silver project in Imperial County, California. Drilling was conducted in the south-central area of the precious metal deposit expanding the footprint of gold-silver mineralization. Drilling was also completed along the Modoc Fault zone approximately 200 meters to the northwest of the south-central mineralized area.

The Company is pleased to report the following results which continue to further delineate new precious metal mineralization in relatively untested areas.

* CAH-174 intersected 4.6m of 187.3 g/t silver from 91.4 - 96.0m (15' @ 5.47 opt silver); CAH-176 encountered 6.1m of 180.82 g/t silver from 134.1 - 140.2m (20' @ 5.28 opt silver) and CAH-177 cut 3.1m of 199.6 g/t silver from 82.2 - 85.3m (10' @ 5.83opt silver).

As reported in previous news releases from our current reverse circulation program, assays continue to demonstrate the existence of many high grade gold/silver veins which are commonly associated with moderate to lower grade broadly mineralized zones. These very favorable assay results are being encountered throughout all areas presently being drill tested at the Cahuilla project.

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 with 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; 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.
