Teras Resources Inc. ("Teras" or the
"Company") (TRA.V - News): announces that the Company has engaged National Drilling Company
to continue development of its Cahuilla project in Imperial County,
California. National will initiate mobilization of an Atlas-Capco
CS14 core drill this week to begin testing one of the linear
west-northwest trending, high grade precious metal zones as
reported in the January 14th, 2014 press release. Teras anticipates
that the diamond drill will begin operations this weekend once all
of the equipment has been mobilized to the project site.
The initial phase of
this upcoming core drilling program will consist of six to eight
angle holes totaling approximately 1100 meters. The goal of the
diamond drill program will focus on delineating the continuity of
known sub-vertical, near surface high grade gold and silver veins
that were intersected in previous Teras and historical reverse
circulation drilling. As a result of the near vertical vein
control, these new high priority targets will be tested by angled
core holes drilled in various directions through the high grade
sub-vertical veins at angles that fluctuate from
-65? to
-80?.
Teras' primary
objective for 2014 is to increase the grade of the precious metal
resource by further delineating high grade precious metal
mineralization, thus enhancing the total in ground gold and silver
ounces within the existing NI 43-101 resource. Teras will also
obtain more detailed information required to perform metallurgical,
mineralogical and geotechnical studies, along with the geologic
understanding of ore controls in preparation for a scoping study
based on current resources to rapidly advance the project to a
mining operation.
The following map
illustrates the location where the new angled core holes will be
collared to begin testing the high grade precious metal
zones:

The angled core holes
will be targeting some of the highest grade reverse circulation
precious metal intercepts on the property including Teras drill
holes CAH-139 and CAH-142, which are approximately 150m apart and
situated within the current target area shown on the map above.
Significant high grade intercepts from these two drill holes are
shown in the table below:

*Fire assays of
duplicate samples from the very high grade gold values in CAH-139
encountered 3.1m of 80.79 g/t gold from 88.4 to 89.5m including
1.5m of 135.40 g/t (10' @ 2.359 oz/t including 5' @ 3.954
oz/t).
**The higher grade
gold intercepts in CAH-142 also contain significant silver values
including 213.6 grams (6.24 oz/t) from 103.6 to 112.8 meters (9.2m)
and 493.3 grams (14.40 oz/t) from 128.0 to 137.2
meters (9.2m) including 1.5 meters of 4.45 grams
gold (0.130 oz/t) and 983 grams silver (28.7 oz/t) from 135.6 to
137.1 meters.
Core samples will be
delivered to Inspectorate America in Reno, Nevada for analysis.
Core from the diamond drill shall be collected on site, placed in
boxes, and photographed. The core will then be split in half by a
rock saw at the Company's secured warehouse facility near the
project site and one half will be transported and analyzed for
precious metals by Inspectorate. Sample blanks and certified
standards shall be inserted into the sample stream at random
intervals for quality control purposes.
Teras is also pleased
to report that URS Corporation of La Jolla, California is achieving
excellent progress on the Company's phase three permitting program
that encompasses the entire Cahuilla project area, which is
comprised of nearly eight square kilometers. Biological and
archeological surveys are currently in progress and expected to be
complete in the early spring of this year. Final draft permit
documents will be submitted to the appropriate regulators sometime
in mid-2014, while final approvals are anticipated to be received
during the second half of the year.

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 cut-off of 0.008 ounces per ton
gold). The Company has an aggressive plan to increase the grade of
the resource and develop the project for future mining
operations.
