Terra Partner Hathor Drills 46 Metres Grading 3.25% U3O8 at Midwest Northeast Property

Vancouver, BC � October 2, 2008 -- 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 October 2, 2008, Hathor reported: �Hathor Exploration Ltd. is releasing more significant assay results for basement-hosted uranium mineralization in Diamond drill holes MWNE-08-33, MWNE-08-34 and MWNE-08-35.

For a complete list of assay results for drill holes MWNE-08-33 through MWNE-08-35, all recently completed during the summer 2008 drill program on Hathor's 90-per-cent-owned Midwest NorthEast project, and a drill hole location map, please visit Hathor's website.

Highlights from U3O8 assayed core-length intervals (using a cut-off grade of 0.05 per cent U3O8)

Drill hole MWNE-08-33: 

• 46 metres grading 3.25 per cent U3O8, consisting of 7.0 metres grading 11.99 per cent U3O8 from 314.5 to 321.5 metres core length, 4.5 metres grading less than 0.01 per cent U3O8 from 321.5 to 326.0 metres core length and 34.5 metres grading 1.89 per cent U3O8 from 326.0 to 360.5 metres core length.
  Drill hole MWNE-08-34: 
• 6.5 metres grading 8.93 per cent U3O8 from 309.0 to 315.5 metres core length; 
• 3.0 metres grading 1.74 per cent U3O8 from 318.5 to 321.5 metres core length; 
• 12.0 metres grading 0.69 per cent U3O8 from 327.5 to 339.5 metres core length; 
• 1.5 metres grading 0.15 per cent U3O8 from 345.0 to 346.5 metres core length; 
• 1.0 metres grading 0.42 per cent U3O8 from 348.5 to 349.5 metres core length

Drill hole MWNE-08-35: 

• 1.5 metres grading 0.08 per cent U3O8 from 303.5 to 305.0 metres core length; 
• 1.5 metres grading 2.70 per cent U3O8 from 312.0 to 313.5 metres core length.

FIVE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL CORE INTERVAL (i) U3O8 ASSAY RESULTS

MWNE-08-33      316.5      317.0          0.5           23.2
MWNE-08-34      312.5      313.0          0.5           20.9
MWNE-08-34      313.0      313.5          0.5           41.8
MWNE-08-34      313.5      314.0          0.5           34.7

(i) The reader is cautioned that all intersections reported are downhole, core-length intervals and true thickness of mineralization is yet to be determined.

Vertical depth to the unconformity is approximately 210 to 215 metres. The high-grade uranium mineralization encountered in these drill holes occurs in basement rocks that are a heterogeneous mix of variably clay-altered to clay-replaced pelitic gneiss, graphitic pelitic gneiss, granitic pegmatite and microgranite.

Drill core samples were analyzed for U3O8 at the geoanalytical laboratories of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in Saskatoon, Sask. The facilities used for the analysis operate in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E). The samples were analyzed using ISO/IEC 17025:2005-accredited U3O8 method. Laboratory method quality controls included the insertion of certified reference materials applicable for the ranges of mineralization encountered and duplicate samples. In ad dition to the laboratory duplicates, reject repeat analyses were performed on every 20th sample and a number of reinserted, blind one-fourth core duplicate samples. All repeat samples had good reproducibility. All samples are being analyzed for a suite of other elements, including nickel, cobalt, copper and lead. Further assay results for the balance of the summer drill program will be released by Hathor as they are received from the SRC.

The Roughrider zone was discovered in February, 2008. During the winter drill program, Hathor completed 10,654 metres in 29 NQ-sized, vertical and angled Diamond drill holes. The summer Diamond drill program comprised 13 drill holes totalling 5,296 metres. Anomalous radioactivity was encountered in 11 of the summer drill holes. Hathor's management believes that the Roughrider zone remains open in all dimensions and that, in particular, the potential for classic, unconformity-style uranium mineralization occurring at or above the sub- Athabasca unconformity (as suggested by detailed resistivity and gravity geophysical surveys) remains untested.

Terra Ventures owns a 10-per-cent carried interest in the Midwest NorthEast property.

With capital resources in excess of $27-million, Hathor continues to aggressively advance its portfolio of Athabasca region uranium exploration projects. This area accounts for approximately 23 per cent of the world's annual mine production of uranium. All of this production comes from unconformity-style uranium ore deposits -- the highest-grade uranium ore deposits in the world.
