Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TRA)(OTCQX:TRARF):
Teras is pleased to report that the Company has engaged National Drilling of
Phoenix, Arizona to continue the development drilling program at its Cahuilla
project in Imperial County, California. National will be employing a Scrhamm
T685WS drill that possesses the capability of drilling more than 1000 meters in
depth, in order to test the high grade feeder zone. The Company is scheduled to
resume operations with the anticipation of mobilizing the drill rig to Cahuilla
in August 2013.
The primary objective of this next phase of exploration will be focused on
deeper high grade feeder zone targets that have been delineated by recently
obtained geological and geophysical data. As reported in the June 6, 2013 press
release, geophysics delineated multiple deeper high grade feeder vein targets
located beneath the phase 2 permitted drill area. As a result, deeper drill
holes were strategically selected throughout the permit area to optimize the
probability of discovering the high grade source of precious metal
mineralization.
Recently received detailed microscopic data from core and rock chips for select
drill holes indicates that the gold/silver mineralizing system is intense
throughout the entire deposit area. Evidence of multiple boiling zones
associated with the precipitation of gold and silver was observed in all of the
selected drill samples signifying that the epithermal system is robust and
likely extends far beneath the existing precious metal resource. This data
provides further support to the existence of deeper high grade feeder vein
targets that were originally defined from the geophysical surveys.
The following map illustrates the locations where drilling will occur during
this next phase of exploration and development.

Additional holes to test high grade feeder veins are being planned as the
Company continues to receive geological research data. Shallower drilling will
also be conducted with the objectives of expanding the existing gold/silver
resource by better defining near surface, high grade veins and testing areas
along the margins of the resource where no to little drill data exists.
Peter Leger, President and CEO of Teras Resources, remarked "We are very pleased
to select National Drilling for our continued exploration and development
program at Cahuilla. National performed exceptionally well during our 2012
drilling program and we have the utmost confidence that they can satisfy our
goal of testing the high priority deeper feeder vein targets with the primary
objective of increasing the tonnage and grade of our current gold/silver
resources. The Scrhamm T685WS National will provide is a much more powerful
drill rig capable of drilling deep holes at a much faster rate of speed than
previously planned."
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 and volcanic host rocks with
numerous sheeted high-grade quartz veins. Teras filed a NI 43-101 compliant
technical report with an indicated resource of 1.2 million plus ounces of gold
and 11 million plus ounces of silver on its Cahuilla project (70.148 million
tons at an average grade of 0.015 ounces per ton gold and 0.17 ounces per ton
silver with a cutoff of 0.008 ounces per ton gold). The Company has an
aggressive plan to increase the resource and develop the project for future
mining operations.

costs and expenses being based on historical costs and expenses, adjusted for
inflation; continued success in drilling and exploration programs and geological
and geophysical studies at the Cahuilla project; successful studies in mining
techniques and metallurgy; commodity prices continuing at today's prices or
rising; obtaining the necessary funding to carry out recommended work programs,
exploration and studies; and continued success in obtaining permits.
