NEW YORK, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Gold Price traded higher on Monday on renewed concerns over a potential trade war between China and the United States. Gold Spot rose 0.97 percent to $1,338.28 per ounce during Monday trading session, while U.S. Gold futures for June delivery was up 0.96 percent to $1,333.8 per ounce. China announced a roll out new tariffs on 128 kinds of U.S. products, including meat, fruit and wine. China's latest move is in response to the penalties imposed by presidential administration on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum. Gold is considered as a safe-haven asset during times of political and economic turmoil. Bonterra Resources Inc. (OTC: BONXF), Eldorado Gold Corp (NYSE: EGO), IAMGOLD Corp (NYSE: IAG), Gold Fields Limited (NYSE: GFI), Yamana Gold Inc (NYSE: AUY).

The U.S. dollar also went lower on Monday. Gold price is sensitive to the U.S. dollar as a weaker dollar makes other currencies holders cheaper to buy dollar-denominated commodities. According to Reuters, Yuichi Ikemizu at ICBC Standard Bank in Tokyo, said: "The trade war is going on and it is getting worse, so that might be the reason that people are selling dollar and buying gold." According to MarketWatch, Marshall Gittler, chief strategist at ACLS Global, said: "The impact of the turmoil in U.S. trade policy is hard to evaluate however as the market has been distorted by end-of-quarter flows. This may be one reason why the dollar has seemed to go up and down almost at random, without regard to risk."

Bonterra Resources Inc. (OTCQX: BONXF) is also listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the ticker (TSX-V: BTR). Earlier today the company announced breaking news that the latest results from the ongoing winter drilling campaign at the Gladiator Gold Deposit, including an intersection of 17.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m. High-grade intersections extend multiple zones westward, adding strike length at the Rivage Gap and continue to demonstrate the continuity of the deposit, highlighting the predictability of the mineralized zones. The ongoing drilling campaign, totaling 70,000 m in 2018, includes infill and definition drilling at the Gladiator Gold Deposit. Multiple drill holes are in the lab with assays pending.

Highlights and Observations:

- Results from four recent drill holes demonstrate the continuity of the Gladiator Gold Deposit. The four drill holes were drilled on the ice and focused on the western side of the deposit. Two holes, BA-18-07 and BA-18-08, extend the near-surface strike length of multiple zones westward at the Rivage Gap, an area with minimal drilling.

- Hole BA-18-05 intersected 9.3 g/t Au over 3.1 m at the North Zone, 4.2 g/t Au over 1.5 m at the Footwall Zone, 6.9 g/t Au over 1.3 m at the Main Zone and 3.5 g/t Au over 1.2 m at the Barbeau Zone. Multiple intersections in BA-18-05 confirm the continuous nature of the modelled mineralized zones.

- Hole BA-18-06 intersected 6.1 g/t Au over 2.5 m at 350 m depth the South Zone and 4.7 g/t Au over 2.0 m at 200 m depth in the North Zone.

- Holes BA-18-07 and BA-18-08 added near-surface strike length to the North and South zones at the Rivage Gap. BA-18-07 intersected the North Zone with 8.8 g/t Au over 1.3 and the South Zone at 5.8 g/t Au over 1.2 m. BA-18-08 intersected 17.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m at the South Zone.

- To date, continuity of mineralization is now confirmed over a total drilled strike length on at least four horizons (North, Footwall, Main and South) of 1,200 m, as well as a drilled depth of 1,000+ m.

Hole BA-18-07 intersected the North Zone near surface with 8.8 g/t over 1.3 m and the South Zone at 230 m depth with 5.8 g/t Au over 1.2 m. BA-18-07 is the most western hole drilled in 2018 at the Gladiator Gold Deposit so far, with anomalous gold intersected across all mineralized horizons. Results from BA-18-07 extend multiple mineralized zones to the west, adding over 100 m of strike length near surface. BA-18-08 intersected 17.8 g/t Au over 3.0 m at the South Zone at 250 m depth. This intersection occurs in an area with minimal drilling and confirms the continuity of the South Zone on the western side of the Gladiator Deposit.

The seven-drill, 30,000 m winter drilling campaign, is part of the ongoing resource development program at the Gladiator Gold Deposit. Bonterra continues to advance the development of the Gladiator Gold Deposit through definition drilling across all mineralized horizons."
