Valterra Announces Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 26, 2014) -

Not for Distribution to United States Wire Services or for Dissemination in the United States

Valterra Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE:VQA)(FRANKFURT:3VA) ("Valterra" or the "Company") plans to issue up to 8,000,000 units in a non-brokered private placement at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $400,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 3 years.

Proceeds from the private placement will be used for property payments, general working capital and for exploration expenses incurred on the Bobcaygeon Graphite Property located in the Grenville Graphite Trend in southeast Ontario. The Company is planning for a multi-faceted exploration program which includes further drill testing, surface trenching and sampling toward the development of a preliminary mineral resource on the property.

Trenching at the Discovery Zone target has uncovered a high-grade vein which returned graphite values up to 64.3% Cg in chip samples and 36.8% Cg over 1.5m in channel samples. Sampling and mapping has extended the projection of the Discovery zone mineralization to over 600 metres on surface which is supported by recent IP/Res geophysics on the property.

Historic drilling (for zinc) at the Salerno Zone identified graphite-bearing stratigraphy over a +2km strike length. Mapping in the area has identified two different graphite horizons and sampling has confirmed the high-grade potential of this newly developed target. Current drill targeting which is planned for 2014 would test a +4km cumulative strike-length of this target.

In other news, Courtney Shearer has resigned as a director of the Company effective April 28, 2014. Valterra thanks Mr. Shearer for his service as a director and audit committee chair and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
