The Company is dedicated to building shareholder value by acquiring strategic uranium properties in this period of strengthening global demand for uranium supply. The Company's combination of strategic land positions, prospective exploration projects and no risk carried interest projects - combined with technical expertise and management's fundraising ability - are the foundation for growth in the uranium business. The Company is also committed to leveraging trends in potentially high growth resource markets by investing in the mining and development of such minerals as Gold.

An updated resource estimate incorporating Roughrider Zone east is due out Q1 2011. Terra's interest is fully carried to completion of bankable feasibility study.
