Bonterra Resources Inc (TSXV:BTR) has reported its intersections from the winter drilling regime at the Gladiator Deposit in Quebec.

The results reported are from hole BA-20-7. They include an intersection of 5.93 grams per tonne gold over an intersection length of 11.0 metres, which includes a higher grade intercept of 13.76 grams per tonne gold over 4.5 metres.
Results from the remainder of hole BA-20-7 and from other holes drilled at Gladiator remain pending, and the company has committed to releasing these results as soon as its lab can do so.
