Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 31, 2021) - Valterra Resource Corporation (TSXV: VQA) (OTCQB: VRSCF) ("Valterra" or the "Company") has entered into an agreement to settle a debt of C$225,000 by the issuance of 4,500,000 common shares at a price of C$0.05 per share.

As previously announced, Valterra agreed to purchase all of the outstanding quotas of Poconé Mining Mineração Ltda ("PMM"), a private Brazilian company which holds a 100% interest in the Lima gold property and an agreement to purchase a 100% interest in the Livramento gold property, both located in the Poconé Mining District, Brazil. In connection with this acquisition, the Company agreed to retain the four vendors of PMM to continue management of PMM and to advise Valterra on its Brazil strategy for a total monthly consulting fee of US$20,000, which fees have been accruing since July 2020. Under the terms of the proposed sale of the Company's interest in PMM to Pilar Gold Inc. (see news release dated May 12, 2021), the Company must settle the outstanding consulting fees of US$180,000 (C$225,000) by the issuance of 4,500,000 common shares.

This debt settlement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. The securities that will be issued upon this debt settlement will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from issuance.

Project Update

Valterra will now focus its attention on the Company's Los Reyes Cu-Au project in southern Chihuahua, Mexico, where the Company conducted surface sampling and a 4.8 line kilometre 2D/3D DCIP geophysical survey along an 800 metre strike length of Cu-Au skarn along the eastern contact between a Tertiary-age granodiorite intrusion and Cretaceous-age limestones and shales. The target is locally over 100 meters wide and contains multiple zones of strongly copper-enriched mineralization. Near-surface mineralization exposed in shallow artisanal workings and adjacent dump material is strongly oxidized and the Company's samples of waste dumps and limited outcrop samples returned 22 of 28 samples with >1% Cu at an average grade of 3.1% Cu and up to 5.9% Cu. The samples contain elevated precious and additional base metal values up to 0.57g/t Au, 25.3g/t Ag, 0.47% Mo and 1.7% Zn.

The 2D/3D DCIP geophysical successfully imaged a strong conductive response along the intrusive contact which projects for over 400m through four of the five main areas of historic workings and defines the primary target area for drill targeting. The conductivity anomaly is strongest near surface and plunges to depth to the southeast. Conductivity and chargeability anomalies in the 2D inversions are identified on each of the five survey lines and are spatially associated or immediately adjacent to areas of known historical surface mineralization which helps further refine targeting.

Valterra has identified up to six core holes totaling 2000 metres to test multiple IP geophysical targets along the strike length of the target area and beneath the surface expressions of the artisanal workings and is planned for the Fall of 2021.
