Magna Terra Minerals Inc. announced that it has commenced an exploration program on its 100% owned Great Northern Project, located in western Newfoundland. Great Northern is a proven gold environment with existing Mineral Resources and numerous untested gold trends over a cumulative 30+ kilometre strike with the potential to host multi-million-ounce gold deposits. The exploration program will comprise an approximate 300-line kilometre drone magnetic survey and collection of approximately 1,250 B-horizon soil samples covering poorly explored areas of the Project.

The magnetic survey and a limited soil grid will be focused on a region of the Project area adjacent to the Rattling Brook Deposit, where previous geophysical and geochemical coverage is limited, that offers immediate opportunity for resource expansion. The exploration program is partially funded by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador through the Junior Mining Assistance Program.
