Terra Firma Identifies High Grade Copper Mineralization
on it's Malawa Property in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Vancouver, BC - Terra Firma Resources Inc. (TSX-V:TFR) (“Terra Firma” or “the Company”) ,
through its wholly owned Indonesian subsidiary, PT. Terra Mineral Resources Indonesia is
pleased to announce the first reconnaissance sample results from the initial exploration program
at its Malawa Property in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
This early field exploration program consisted of prospecting, reconnaissance mapping and chip
sampling. This work has resulted in the identification of high grade copper mineralization (up to
7% copper) and good grades of Silver contained within porphyry copper mineralization and an
associated peripheral copper (lead-zinc) skarn mineralization. A total of 19 samples were
collected along partially exposed bedrock, mainly along creeks. As such, sampling was done by
taking rock chips (grab samples). A Petrographic report was completed on selected samples.
Sample analytical result highlights include:

Company geologists have described samples MLW2A and MLW2D to be from a porphyritic sericite
altered granodiorite with disseminations and veinlets of pyrite, chalcopyrite, covellite and malachite.

Numerous occurrences of copper gossans have been observed within the alteration zones
associated with sheared and intensely fractured rocks. Anomalous gold values of up to 1.2 g/t
have also been detected on sample MLW-2A. On the periphery of the alteration zone to the east
malachite and extensive chalcopyrite veins assaying up to 7 percent copper (sample MLW5D)
have been identified. Float in stream drainages have been observed to contain mainly
chalcopyrite mineralization.
Samples MLW05A, MLW05B and MLW05C were taken from skarn type mineralization mainly
comprised of chalcopyrite with lesser sphalerite and galena. The second phase of the exploration
program will consist in trenching, sampling and test pits.
All samples collected from the property were submitted to Intertek’s Jakarta lab for geochemical
analysis. The exploration program is led by Senior Geologist Andri Subandrio, with oversight
being provided by Geologist Johannes Erasmus, Associate Senior Geologist of Micromine
Consulting Services.
Geologist Johannes Erasmus is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Johannes Erasmus will be the Qualified Person for this and future work programs on the South
Sulawesi Property. Mr. Erasmus has a B.Sc (Geology) from the University of South Africa and
an MSc (Mineral Economics) from the School of Mining Engineering at the University of
Witwatersrand. Mr. Erasmus has more than 30 years experience in both mining and exploration
and has been responsible for the management of numerous exploration programs around the
world.
Brian Buchanan, CEO of Terra Firma said, “We are very pleased with the first sampling results,
that have identified high grade copper and good grades of silver mineralization, within an
associated peripheral copper, lead-zinc skarn type mineralization on the Mallawa property in
South Sulawesi.”
This News Release has been reviewed and approved by Johannes Erasmus Senior Associate
Geologist of Micromine Consulting Services. Johannes Erasmus is a Qualified Person as defined
