Valterra Provides Update on Pilar Gold

Valterra Resource Corporation (“Valterra” or “the Company”) has received an update from management of Pilar Gold Inc. (“Pilar Gold”) on its drill program at the Sertão mine and current financing. Valterra has a $2.4M equity investment in Pilar Gold following the sale to Pilar Gold of its Brazilian assets, including Poconé Mining Mineração Ltda (“PMM”), which held a 100% interest in the Lima gold property and a binding agreement to purchase a 100% interest in the Livramento gold property, both located in the Poconé Mining District, Brazil.

Pilar Gold management states, “Recent results from our Sertão drill program are very encouraging, strengthening our theory on the continuation of the high-grade ore body running west from the original Troy Resources open pit (mined at average 29 g/t over three years).”

Further, management reports that drilling has intersected bonanza grades at Sertão’s Nilsson Reef

(Stage 4):

* Sertão drilling at Stage 4 returned 0.5m @ 208 g/t from 128m and 0.5m @74.8 g/t from 125m.

* Stage 5 drilling is well underway and showing encouraging results.

* Sertão was the highest grading lowest cost gold mine in the industry between 2003-2007 when Troy Resources mined 256,000 ounces at an average grade of 29 g/t open pit.

* Historical hole SRT001 intersected 2m @ 18.7 g/t from 541 metres ~1.2km to the west of the pit and illustrates the potential that the current program is drilling the same system. Pilar holds the land tenements for 5.9kms on trend to the west of the Sertão pit.

* Mining at Sertão is planned for 2H’22 and will be trucked to the Pilar mill for processing.

* Plans are in place to accelerate drilling at Sertão with a second drill rig to be added in February 2022.

About Pilar Gold Inc.

Pilar Gold Inc. is a Canadian gold mining company focused entirely on Brazil. On 16 April 2021, Pilar Gold acquired the Pilar gold mine in the central Brazilian state of Goiás from Equinox Gold Corp. With current production of approximately 40,000 ounces p.a. and significant growth potential, the Pilar gold mine is the flagship asset for Pilar Gold and a strong foundation for an emerging Brazil-focused gold company.

PMM will form the cornerstone for Pilar Gold’s operations in the prolific Poconé gold belt in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. With decades of hands-on experience in the Poconé region, Pilar Gold’s management team intends to develop PMM into a successful regional gold producer.
