Shamika 2 Gold grants 570,000 shares to Terra Energy

NEW YORK (Scrap Monster): Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TEGR), a natural resource exploration technology and services company, will receive 570,000 shares of Shamika 2 Gold, Inc., a publicly held company whose shares are traded on OTCBB, and 0.45% of the preferred net return from production and sale of gold and rubies derived from the Cambodia mining project which Terra helped discover.

In exchange for its satellite-based STeP® analysis exploration services rendered for the project in 2010, Terra received not only fees but also a royalty and a project co-investment right from MIG International Mining Group, the project sponsor. Later MIG agreed for Terra to convert its 5% project co-investment right into a 1% interest in MIG, with no cash payment by Terra.

In March 2011, Shamika acquired 85% of the equity in MIG, seeking to benefit from MIG's mining concession in Cambodia, which as noted previously, was a direct result of Terra's analysis of the license area. Shamika's acquisition is a welcome development for Terra, increasing the liquidity of Terra's interest in the project and validating the production potential of same.

"In July-August of 2010, Terra helped MIG create a substantial value in gold and ruby geological resources. Terra completed its STeP® analysis of the area of interest in January 2010. In only six months, MIG transformed a frontier exploration territory into a marketable mining property," said Dmitry Vilbaum, CEO of Terra Energy & Resource Technologies. Shamika's CEO calls the MIG acquisition an historic event for his company. All of us at Terra are excited that we played a key role in such a positive corporate development for both MIG and Shamika."

Dr. Alexandre Agaian, President of Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, stated: "It shows the strength of Terra's exploration methods that it can secure partial compensation in the form of royalties. Subject to MIG obtaining the appropriate mining licenses and achieving a two month production, Terra's shares of Shamika will be released from the escrow to Terra.

We recently met with Shamika's CEO Mr. Robert Vivian, who informed us that his current priority is to establish mining and production from the license area. Terra welcomes Mr. Vivian's plans to ramp up production quickly and hopes to start receiving its share of the revenue stream in a short order. In summary, the total potential compensation package in connection with this license area for Terra is now a 1.5% overriding royalty, 570,000 shares of Shamika 2 Gold, Inc., and 0.45% of the preferred net return from production."
