Magna Terra Partner Gold Hunter Provides Update on Exploration Activities at the Great Northern Project, Newfoundland

TORONTO, October 16, 2024 - Magna Terra Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Magna Terra") (TSXV:MTT) is pleased to announce that its partner, Gold Hunter Resources Inc. ("Gold Hunter") (CSE:HUNT)(OTC PINK:GHREF), has completed a comprehensive data compilation effort, and has initiated an exploration program at the Great Northern Project ("Great Northern" or the "Project") in western Newfoundland.

Since acquiring the Project from Magna Terra, Gold Hunter has diligently completed a compilation of historic digital data from the Project, to add to that already completed by Magna Terra. This represents the first time that such a database has been compiled on the recently expanded 23,060 hectare land package along the Doucers Valley Fault - a significant geological structure which hosts gold mineralization. The additional exploration data and subsequent analysis has increased the cumulative strike length of priority exploration targets by 64%, from 30 kilometres to 49.2 kilometres, underscoring the scale of the Project and offering substantial opportunities for new discoveries.

Following this compilation effort and the completion of an updated NI43-101 Technical Report for the Great Northern Project, Gold Hunter has recently initiated a fall field program comprising a 2,788-line kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey over the entire Great Northern Project, as well as a systematic prospecting and geological mapping program designed to follow-up on the many untested targets along the 49.2 kilometres of strike potential. This work will allow Gold Hunter to better characterize known alteration and mineralization zones, as well as make new surface discoveries and outline new zones of gold-related alteration.

"We are extremely pleased with Gold Hunter's exploration strategy at Great Northern. The additional exploration targets generated during the compilation effort and immediate follow-up with systematic airborne surveying and surface prospecting will help advance the Project by demonstrating increased scale; follow-up and better define the existing numerous exploration targets; and further characterize existing zones of known gold mineralization. The increase in cumulative strike length of exploration targets from 30 to 49.2 kilometres in multiple occurrences continues to underscore the scale of the gold mineralizing system on the property along and adjacent to the Doucers Valley Fault. We look forward to reviewing and communicating the results of Gold Hunter's work later this fall and into 2025."
