VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 29, 2012) - Quaterra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QTA)(NYSE Amex:QMM) today announced it has filed with SEDAR a Canadian National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report on the Yerington Mine portion of the Yerington Copper Project located in Lyon County, Nevada.
The report was prepared by Tetra Tech Inc. of Golden, Colorado, for wholly-owned Quaterra subsidiary, Singatse Peak Services, LLC (SPS), which is exploring and developing the Yerington project.

There are no material differences between the mineral resource estimates in the technical report and the January press release.
The qualified person for the Tetra Tech technical report is Dr. Rex Bryan, Senior Geostatistician for Tetra Tech, Golden, Colorado.

These statements generally are identified by words such as the Company "believes", "expects", and similar language, or convey estimates and statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time except in accordance with applicable securities laws. References may be made in this press release to historic mineral resource estimates. None of these are NI 43-101 compliant and a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify these historic estimates as a current mineral resource. They should not be relied upon and Quaterra does not treat them as current mineral resources. Expanded information on the Company's projects is described on our website at www.quaterra.com.
