News Release<br />

INTERRA EXPLORATION INC.<br />

TO ACQUIRE RWANDAN GOLD PROPERTY<br />

April 12, 2010 – Interra Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: ITA.P) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a<br />

binding letter agreement dated February 12, 2010 with Rogi Mining Limited and Igor Vishnevskiy,<br />

president and principal shareholder of Rogi Mining, whereby Interra is proposing to acquire up to 100%<br />

of Rogi Mining. Rogi Mining holds the exploration and exploitation rights to a gold mining property and<br />

project situated in the mining district of Karenda/Masogwe, Republic of Rwanda. The transaction with<br />

Rogi Mining is intended to constitute Interra’s Qualifying Transaction.<br />

Information on Rogi Mining<br />

Rogi Mining is a private limited company incorporated under the Companies Law of the Republic of<br />

Cyprus. Mr. Vishnevskiy is the principal shareholder of Rogi Mining, currently holding 80% of the<br />

outstanding shares of Rogi Mining.<br />

Rogi Mining is the registered holder of a license and special permit by the Rwandan Ministry of Lands,<br />

Environment, Forests, Water and Mines, conferring upon Rogi Mining exploration and exploitation rights to<br />

a gold mining property known as the Miyove Gold Project, which is located in the mining district of<br />

Karenda/Masogwe.<br />

Rogi Mining has entered into a consulting agreement with Kleimber Construction LMD, a company<br />

incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Rwanda, whereby Kleimber will provide ongoing services to<br />

Rogi Mining in connection with the exploration and development of the Miyove Gold Project and assisting<br />

with regulatory requirements in Rwanda. Robert Weicker, P. Geo., is a consultant to Kleimber and a<br />

qualified person under NI 43-101. In exchange for consulting and management services, Kleimber has the<br />

right to receive a 34% equity interest in Rogi Mining.<br />

Information on the Miyove Gold Project, Rwanda<br />

Rwanda is a politically stable country with the highest economic growth rate of East African countries<br />

(2008) and a leader who promotes open and transparent business development. Rwanda is relatively<br />

unexplored in terms of gold, but is a current producer of tungsten, tin and coltan (columbite-tantalite ore).<br />

Rogi Mining owns three groups of properties in Rwanda with the principal asset being the Miyove Gold<br />

Project located in the northern province of Rwanda, Burea and Gicumbi Districts. The Miyove Gold<br />

Project comprises 2,937 hectares over the largest historic gold producing areas.<br />

Rogi Mining’s compilation of government and international reports estimates historic production by<br />

artesian miners resulting in approximately 2.5 to 4 metric tons of gold (80,400 to 128,600 ounces) in the<br />

1930’s and 1940’s. Gold was worked from a depth of 50-60 m, including in placer deposits.<br />

Gold was discovered and initially mined in the 1930’s by the Minetein Company, which completed<br />

exploration and production (alluvial and parent gold) from the Karenda, Baradega, Masogwe and the<br />

Mutonga zones. In 1984 and 1985, a Belgian company associated with the United Nations (UN)<br />

conducted geological prospecting, geochemical surveys, trenching and pitting, and underground<br />

development. From 1986 through 1988 the UN completed exploration programs including geological


mapping, geochemical (soil sampling), geophysical (MAG & VLF-EM), trenching, and diamond drilling.<br />

The best intersection from this program was in hole MK-03, from 88.0 to 94.0 m averaging 24.93 g/t Au<br />

over 6.0 metres (assays cut to (1 oz/t) 34.29 g/t). Diamond drilling to date comprises only 2,258 metres in<br />

16 holes directed at three mineralized zones. Previous soil geochemical surveys have been useful and<br />

highly efficient in indentifying new gold mineralized zones. Two surveys, in 1985 by the PRM and 1987<br />

by the UN, formed the basis for successful follow-up work, and several targets remain to be tested.<br />

From 2006-2009, Rogi Mining completed geological mapping, extensive trenching with detailed<br />

sampling, limited underground development, metallurgical and processing studies, and thin section<br />

analysis. Rogi Mining completed internal calculations of quantity and grade in accordance with Russian<br />

standards in the range of 4.4 to 4.5 million tonnes grading 2.77 to 3.01 grams per tonne gold for a<br />

contained quantity of 12.2 to 13.6 tonnes (393,900 to 438,800 ounces) of gold. These estimates<br />

completed by Rogi were not compiled within the definitions and standards outlined in National<br />

Instrument 43-101. In addition Rogi did not complete any drilling. Accordingly the potential quantity<br />

and grade should be considered as conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to<br />

define a mineral resource in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. It is uncertain whether further<br />

exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.<br />

The Miyove Gold Project is underlain by rocks of the Central African Mesoproterozoic-aged Kibara<br />

orogen that extends from Katanga (Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC) in the south, to southern<br />

Uganda in the north. The Kibaran geology on the property consists of shale, siltstone, sandstone, and rare<br />

conglomerate units. Mineralization is associated with multiple NW-SE trending gold-bearing quartz veins<br />

and stockworks, and associated wall rock alteration comprising kaolinization and iron oxidation.<br />

Rogi Mining’s exploration activities from 2006 to 2009, with expenditures in excess of Cdn.$2.0 million,<br />

have indicated encouraging gold mineralization on surface and at shallow depths on the Miyove Gold<br />

Project. Rogi Mining and Kleimber are well established in Rwanda, are complemented by contract<br />

personnel with experience and knowledge in the country, and have the ability to conduct efficient and<br />

effective exploration programs.<br />

Interra has engaged J. Garry Clark, P.Geo. with Clark Exploration Consulting of Thunder Bay, Ontario to<br />

prepare a technical report on the Miyove Gold Project in the form required under National Instrument 43-<br />

101. Subject to the recommendations in the technical report, additional exploration on the Miyove Gold<br />

Project is expected to involve an initial exploration program comprising approximately 3,000 metres of<br />

drilling to test multiple gold targets, at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. The report will be filed on<br />

SEDAR when available.<br />

Transaction Terms<br />

The acquisition of Rogi Mining is proposed to occur by way of a share purchase option, whereby Interra<br />

will have the right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rogi Mining in exchange for cash<br />

payments of $2,750,000 and the issuances of 5,700,000 common shares of Interra, over a period of five<br />

years as follows:<br />

$156,250 and 950,000 shares on closing of the transaction;<br />

$312,500 and 950,000 shares on the first and second anniversaries of the closing;<br />

$343,750 and 950,000 shares on the third anniversary of the closing; and<br />

$1,300,000 and 1,900,000 shares on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing.<br />

Of the cash payments, $400,000 payable to Mr. Vishnevskiy will be credited to outstanding debt owing to<br />

him by Rogi Mining.<br />

Interra will pay a finder’s fee in connection with the transaction with Rogi Mining in accordance with the<br />

parameters permitted under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.<br />

and third party agreements, and completion of a private placement.<br />

Private Placement<br />

between $3,000,0000 to $5,000,000. The terms of the private placement will be determined at a later date<br />

and will be announced by subsequent press release. The proceeds of the private placement, combined with<br />

other funds available to Interra, will be used to fund a portion of the cash payments to the shareholders of<br />

Rogi Mining and for exploration work on the Property.<br />
