Vancouver, April 11, 2011- Terra Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: TAS) is pleased to provide an update on the Midwest Northeast Uranium property in which Terra owns a 10% production carried interest. In a press release dated April 11, 2011, Hathor reported:

Highlights and key attributes of the Far East Zone include:

 Nearly continuous radioactivity over drill lengths up to 50 m
 Off-scale radioactive intervals in 13 of the 15 drill holes with anomalous radioactivity, and
off-scale radioactive intervals totalling up to 8.9 m in a single hole
 Semi-massive and massive pitchblende mineralization in replacement, vein, fracture lining and breccias textures
 Locally pervasive alteration surrounding basement-hosted mineralization, and also at the unconformity above
 Drill intersections span 45 metres of strike, in an easterly direction, across mineral zones dipping moderately north-northeast; intersections of 30-50 metres are oblique to true thickness
 Mineralization is basement-hosted, up to 200 m below the unconformity, and not restricted to Wollaston Group lithologies
