ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, June 30, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) is pleased to announce the beginning of a summer exploration program on its flagship Veronneau project following the closing of the $1.3 million financing in May 2017. The summer 2017 exploration program of approximately $500,000 should be completed by the end of the month of July 2017.

The exploration program led by Mr. Michel Chapdelaine will be performed by X-Terra Resources' consultant IOS Geoservices and will be comprised of exploration, stripping, channel sampling and detailed mapping of more than 30 priority targets on the Veronneau Project where management believes additional gold mineralization could be uncovered.

The Veronneau project hosts at least two gold settings; one where gold is associated to semi-massive pyrrhotite mineralization (the Marcaut showing), and a totally new setting located approximately 10 kilometres west where gold is associated with early stage quartz veins and some arsenopyrite (the Veronneau showing). X-Terra Resources intends on expanding on both of these settings.

"After months of waiting, X-Terra Resources will be able to expand on the Veronneau showing and test targets that were generated through last year's brief field observations in correlation with our very detailed geophysical and thin section results. Having access to a greenstone belt of this size which extends over 45.5 kilometres, and near infrastructure is a great opportunity in the James Bay area" stated Michel Chapdelaine.

Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra Resources, states "We are extremely excited by this important work program on the Veronneau Project. With a consolidated land position over the entire Colomb-Chaboullié greenstone belt, X-Terra Resources is well positioned to capitalize on the numerous high priority unexplored targets".

Results from this summer exploration program will provide critical information that will be essential to ongoing exploration throughout the Veronneau project and provide vital targeting data for X-Terra Resources' first phase of exploration drilling.  Results for this summer exploration program will be reported as they become available.

X-Terra Resources also announces that at its annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 28, 2017 in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, X-Terra Resources' six directors were re-elected, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, a partnership of Chartered Professional Accountants, were re-appointed as X-Terra Resources' auditor, and shareholders adopted a resolution ratifying and confirming X-Terra Resources' Stock Option Plan, as required by the TSX Venture Exchange.
