Valterra Closes Private Placement

January 2, 2014

Valterra Resource Corporation ("Valterra") has closed its recently announced flow-through private placement by issuing 1,000,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.05 per flow-through share for proceeds of $50,000.  All securities issued in this financing include a legend restricting trading of the securities until May 1, 2014.  Finder's fees may be payable.  The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.

Proceeds from the private placements will be used for exploration expenses incurred on the Bobcaygeon Graphite Property located in southern Ontario. Recent exploration has generated high-grade, high-purity, flake graphite drill targets from shallow trenching and ground geophysics. 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 early 2014 to extend the Discovery Zone and test new targets.
