Valterra Announces Private Placements to Fund Drilling at Bobcaygeon

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 12, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Valterra Resource Corporation ("Valterra") (TSX VENTURE:VQA)(OTCBB:VRSCD)(FRANKFURT:3VA) reported today that it plans to issue up to 7,000,000 units in a non-flow-through private placement at a price of $0.06 per unit for gross proceeds of $420,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each whole share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of 3 years.

Valterra also announces a flow-through private placement of up to 7,000,000 flow-through shares to Canadian resident investors, with each flow-through share priced at $0.07 to raise gross proceeds of $490,000 with the gross proceeds utilized for Canadian exploration expenses, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), related to the exploration during 2013 of Valterra's +160 sq. km Bobcaygeon graphite project in southern Ontario and other eligible exploration expenses, with expense renunciations on December 31, 2013.

Proceeds from the private placements will be utilized for eligible Canadian exploration expenses incurred on the Bobcaygeon Graphite Property located in Southern Ontario. Recent exploration has generated several high-grade, high-purity, flake graphite drill targets from prospecting, shallow trenching and ground geophysics programs. One prospective anomaly covers an 800m x 400m area, being co-incident with the Discovery Zone and remains open for expansion. A Phase I drill program totaling up to 2,500m is proposed for 2013 to extend the Discovery Zone and test newly identified targets located up to 23km on-strike from the main zone. Historical geological data indicates widespread accessory graphite throughout the regional host stratigraphy and suggests strong exploration potential within these areas.

Contingent on initial results, Valterra has also planned for expanded geophysical work, continued metallurgical testing and prospecting to cover the large property package. Net proceeds from the Non-Flow-Through Offering will be used for property payments, general working capital and for exploration expenses. Valterra reserves the right to expend the funds on any other eligible Canadian exploration property.

About Graphite

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon with wide-ranging and unique physical properties. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity and has outstanding lubrication properties and is very resistant to chemical corrosion. Graphene is derived from graphite and is one of the strongest and lightest known substances with a tensile strength 200 times the strength of steel. The industrial development of graphene is at an early stage but will eventually become a replacement for several expensive electronic components such as silicon semi-conductors. Graphite occurs naturally as - vein, flake, and amorphous where the highest quality product can command prices in excess of $2,000 per tonne. In pricing graphite, the flake size and purity are key factors with the large flake at +0.178mm and purity at +99% C(g) commanding the highest prices in markets dominated by multi-national eco-automobile manufacturers, high-tech industries and nuclear energy companies. Recent pricing and demand increases have accelerated numerous exploration and investment opportunities in the graphite market.

The Province of Ontario is an excellent locale to explore owing to superior geology, geoscience knowledge, infrastructure, political stability and tax incentives. Several projects are advancing in the graphite field including Northern Graphite Corporation, Zenyatta Ventures Inc. and Ontario Graphite Ltd.
