Bonterra Resources Inc (CVE:BTR) (OTCMKTS:BONXF) announced Thursday promising results from diamond drilling at its Gladiator Deposit in Quebec.

The exploration company reported in a statement the extension of gold-bearing mineralized deposits. The results included the intersection of 14.6 grams of gold per tonne over 4.6 meters and 37.6 grams of gold per tonne over 1.7 meters, according to Bonterra.

"These drill results continue to demonstrate the potential for strike extensions on the multiple gold-mineralized zones that make up the Gladiator deposit, which we anticipate will translate into additional ounces," said interim CEO Greg Gibson. "This new drilling data on the Gladiator deposit will be included in the upcoming property-wide resource estimate."
