Amended NI43-101 filed for Nieves preliminary economic assessment

Quaterra and its 50% joint-venture partner Blackberry Ventures I, LLC, have
filed on SEDAR an amended Canadian National Instrument 43-101-compliant
technical report for the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of their Nieves
silver property in Zacatecas State, Mexico. 


The amended report was prepared by M3 Engineering & Technology of Tucson,
Arizona, and follows the announcement of the Nieves PEA in a news release on
September 19, 2012. The technical report includes a description of the project
resources, mine plan, capital costs, operating costs, metallurgy and financial
analysis. There are no material differences between the technical report filed
on November 2, 2012 and the amended report filed today. The change relates to a
decimal point error in figure 22-4 for lead and zinc values. Because lead and
zinc were not used in the model, there is no effect on project economics. In
addition, the estimated concentrate grade was clarified at the end of section
13.4. 


The Qualified Person for the updated Nieves project resource estimate in this
release is Jason Baker, P. Eng., of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc.
(CCIC) of Toronto, Canada. Zsuzsanna Magyarosi Ph.D., P.Geo. (APGO#2031), also
of CCIC, is the Qualified Person responsible for the QA/QC evaluation. Doris M.
Fox M.Sc., P.Geo., also of CCIC, is the Qualified Person responsible for the
site visit and sampling procedures. The Qualified Person for the preliminary
economic assessment is Joshua Snider P.E. with M3 Engineering & Technology
Corp., Tucson, Arizona. The Qualified Person for the mining portion of the PEA
is Jeffery Choquette P.E. of Butte, Montana, and for metallurgy Thomas L.
Drielick P.E. of M3 Engineering & Technology Corp., Tucson, Arizona. The
complete NI43-101-compliant technical report is available at www.sedar.com and
on the company's website.

This press release, required by applicable Canadian laws, does not constitute an
offer of the securities described herein. These securities offered have not been
and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any State securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the
United States or to U.S. persons unless registered or exempt therefrom.


Disclosure note 

The mining terms "indicated resource" and "inferred resource" are used in this
news release in accordance with Canadian regulations but are not recognized by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. For clarification, the
Company has no properties that contain "reserves" as defined by the SEC and is
providing the forgoing, in part, in order to meet its requirements under
National Instrument 43-101 adopted by the BC Securities Commission and the
Canadian Securities Administrators.


A PEA should not be considered to be a pre-feasibility or feasibility study, as
the economics and technical viability of the Project have not been demonstrated
at this time. A PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral
Resources that are considered too geologically speculative at this time to have
the economic considerations applied to them to be categorized as Mineral
Reserves. Thus, there is no certainty that the production profile concluded in
the PEA will be realized. Actual results may vary, perhaps materially.


Some statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements
within the safe harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements generally are identified by words such as the Company
"believes", "expects", and similar language, or convey estimates and statements
that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals. Since
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events
and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Further information regarding risks and uncertainties which may
cause results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking
statements, are included in filings by the Company with securities regulatory
authorities. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. The Company
does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from
time to time except in accordance with applicable securities laws. References
may be made in this press release to historic mineral resource estimates. None
of these are NI 43-101 compliant and a qualified person has not done sufficient
work to classify these historic estimates as a current mineral resource. They
should not be relied upon and Quaterra does not treat them as current mineral
resources.
