Valterra Resource Corporation: Valterra Intersects 4.07 g/t Au & 1.57 g/t Ag over 47.64m at the Star Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 10, 2009) - Valterra Resource Corporation ("Valterra") (CNSX:VTA)(FRANKFURT:3VA) reported significant near surface, diamond drill results from its recent 2009 exploration program at the gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc "Star Project" located in southeast British Columbia, Canada.

Drilling highlights at the Alma N zone include:

- VST09-007: 4.07 g/t Au & 1.57 g/t Ag over 47.64 metres (Collared in
 Mineralization)
 Including 7.41 g/t Au & 1.97 g/t Ag over 14.00 metres
 Including 15.96 g/t Au & 5.60 g/t Ag over 2.00 metres
- VST09-008: 1.42 g/t Au & 1.90 g/t Ag over 4.00 metres
- VST09-009: 3.40 g/t Au, 3.13 g/t Ag & 0.28% Cu over 7.00 metres
 Including 7.40 g/t Au, 5.80 g/t Ag & 0.23% Cu over 3.00 metres
 Including 17.09 g/t Au, 15.00 g/t Ag & 0.60% Cu over 1.00 metre 
 (Visible Gold)

The drilling focused on the centrally located Alma N zone, where the company completed a total of 478 metres of drilling in three NQ2-sized core holes. The program tested and confirmed several near surface gold zones outlined in a recently compiled 3D model of historical drilling, and defined the zones northerly strike extension from the area drilled in 2008 that was highlighted by an intercept of 18.77 g/t Au and 11.55 g/t Ag over 4.0 metres, located approximately 150 metres south of the recent 2009 drill holes (see NR-01-09). All of the 2009 holes intersected anomalous gold, silver +/- copper mineralization to a maximum depth of only 135 metres below surface (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

Valterra has currently outlined approximately 250 metres of mineralized strike length to the Alma N zone and all of the zones remain under-explored and open for further expansion.

The "Star Project" now encompasses over 1,900 ha having been recently expanded by acquisition and claim staking. The claims contain five structurally aligned gold zones within the regionally prominent and historically prolific Silver King Shear Zone. One of the Star Property mines - the Eureka (ca. 1897) - reportedly produced small amounts of ore averaging 2.13 g/t Au, 125.0 g/t Ag and 1.77% Cu(1). This mineralized belt continues southeast-ward toward the past-producing ca. 1888 Silver King Mine and the Kena Gold property. The Silver King was BC's first lode mine that produced a reported 4.4 million ounces of silver, while the Kena contains a 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource of approximately 1.0 million ounces of gold(2). The region is also home to numerous historic mining camps hosting million ounce gold deposits within the Ymir/Sheep Creek and Rossland districts.

Exploration conducted on the property between 1988 and 1990, included 24 diamond drill holes totalling over 5,500 metres. Several exploration targets were identified, including the Star, Eureka, Alma N, and Toughnut zones. The drilling returned several thick intervals of anomalous precious and base-metal mineralization including drill hole GWS-89-01(3), from the Alma N zone, that intersected 5.12 g/t Au and 4.45 g/t Ag over 14.6 metres at a down hole depth of 30 metres, which included a higher grade intercept of 12.87 g/t Au and 9.67 g/t Ag over 4.4 metres.

(i) Metallic gold analysis by fire assay methods were conducted on 60 of
 the 276 samples (20%) collected from the 2009 drill program, and all of
 the composites tabled above are metallics-related. The estimated true
 thickness of the mineralization in the Alma N zone area is currently
 approximated at 85-90% of the drill intercept. Estimates are based on
 prior drilling, mapping and computer modelling that generated an
 average strike and dip of 170 degrees / 70 degrees

2009 QA/QC Protocols

Samples were analyzed at International Plasma Labs Ltd. (IPL), an ISO 9001:2000 certified company located in Richmond BC, for Au + 30 elements by Fire Assay (FA)/Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES)/Aqua-Regia Acid Digestion (AqR) using appropriate calibration standards. Additionally, any samples assaying greater than 10.0 g/t Au are re-analyzed using a Gravimetric finish.

Furthermore, Valterra has initiated a comprehensive metallic-gold analysis by fire assay method check-sampling program in an effort to determine potential "nugget effect" (commonly associated with gold systems) and/or to assist with the detection of very fine grained gold. Further check assays, on both the 2009 and 2008 company drill programs are anticipated.

Valterra implemented established QA/QC quality protocols that are followed throughout the core sampling process. A variety of analytical standards were utilized from suppliers CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. and WCM Minerals Limited. For every batch of 22 core samples collected, two random and "blind" QA/QC samples were included. Protocol required that a single standard pulp be inserted, and either a blank or duplicated core sample be added within the sample stream. Overall, approximately 9% of the total assays were QA/QC-related; the results of which were carefully monitored in order to verify the assaying quality.

2009 Fall Exploration Plan for the Star Project

- Drilling of the main Toughnut occurrence, where approximately 1,000 to 1,500 metres of diamond drilling is proposed. Historical drill results yielded values of 1.57 g/t Au and 1.26 g/t Ag over 24.66 metres in drill hole GWS-90-18.

- Expansion of the Alma N zone and further delineation of gold-silver +/-copper mineralization drill-intersected during the 2009 and 2008 exploration programs, and

- Additionally, further drilling is anticipated within the 3.5 kilometre long mineral belt targeting the Eureka, Star and Gold Eagle zones that are defined by a combination of previous wide-spaced drilling, geochemical and geophysical surveys.
