Perth, Aug 29, 2008 (ABN Newswire) - Terrain Minerals Limited (ASX:TMX) Announce Bundarra Resource Increased by 60% To 321,000 oz Of Gold. Highlights of the announcement are:

- New resource estimate of 4.96mt @ 2.0 g/t gold (321,000 oz)

- Resource grade cut off 1g/t gold

- New resources have been outlined at the Wonder North, Bluebush, Great Western and Black Cat deposits.

- All the resources remain open down dip and down plunge.

- Terrain on track to define interim target of 400 - 600,000 oz of gold.

Following the completion of a 16,000m RC and Diamond drilling program in May 2008 geological consultants CSA Global Pty Ltd have undertaken resource estimates on a cluster of deposits within the Bundarra project area. These deposits include: Wonder North, Bluebush, Great Western and Black Cat. Additional resources have previously been defined at the Celtic deposit. At a grade cut off of 1g/t gold the resources total 4.96mt @ 2.0g/t gold (321,000 oz) (see below).

All the deposits remain open down dip and down plunge. In addition there are a number of other prospects: Garden Well, Katalina, Craig and Wilsons Win, with drill intercepts up to 37.8 g/t gold. All these prospects require further drilling.

With deposit extensions and a number of other attractive targets still to be tested, the directors are confident that the new resource estimate demonstrates significant progress towards the interim target of 400 - 600,000 oz of gold#.

Planning for follow up drilling programs are well advanced.

# The target is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain that further exploration will result in a Mineral Resource.

Further information regarding Terrain's projects and exploration programs can be found on the Company's website, www.terrainminerals.com.au.
