X-Terra Resources begins airborne geophysical survey on the eastern extension of the Veronneau property

ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 5, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) is pleased to announce it has initiated an airborne geophysical survey on the eastern extension of the Veronneau property, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory. Geotech Ltd. has been engaged to conduct a 1,130-line-kilometre airborne survey. Geotech will be using its VTEM^TM Plus Time Domain EM to complete the survey during the next few weeks. In addition, Marc Boivin of MB Geosolutions has been engaged by X-Terra Resources as the geophysicist to interpret and verify the results as they become available.

The survey will serve to expand on X-Terra Resources' existing geophysical database and will provide knowledge for a comprehensive understanding of the geological features and trends that have been outlined during the fall exploration on Veronneau's eastern extension. Michel Chapdelaine, X-Terra Resources Vice-President of Exploration and Development stated "this airborne survey will aim to highlight the geophysical signature of the LEJ showing (see attached map), in relation to the geology observed on the Veronneau property".

The airborne survey is being performed along 100-metre spaced lines in order to obtain high-resolution image quality of the geological features, including discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity. Additionally, full waveform recording is employed to achieve very clean early-time measurement to effectively resolve near surface structures.

Michael Ferreira, X-Terra Resources' President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The lack of outcrops on the eastern extension of the Veronneau property proved to be very challenging in identifying drill targets during our summer exploration programs, therefore this survey will serve as an invaluable tool in identifying drill targets for this winter's drill program".

The scarce number of outcrops that X-Terra Resources was able to identify on the eastern extension highlighted a bimodal volcanic package.

X-Terra Resources also announces that it has hired 1712060 Alberta Ltd. of Vancouver, British Columbia ("1712060") to provide investor relations services to X-Terra Resources. 1712060 will focus on the development and expansion of the Corporation's communications with the investment community through a comprehensive investor relations program and public relation activities. Under the terms of the agreement, X-Terra Resources will pay 1712060 $12,500 per month for a term of 12 months and may be cancelled by either party by giving 30 days' notice. X-Terra Resources and 1712060 are at arm's length. 1712060 and its principal does not at present own any shares of X-Terra Resources. The agreement between X-Terra Resources and 1712060 is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
