| Quaterra Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement |
| VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 15, 2009) - Quaterra Resources Inc. ("Quaterra") (TSX VENTURE:QTA)(NYSE Alternext US:QMM) today announced that, in accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange extension to January 15, 2009, it has now closed the offering. Quaterra has had two interim closings and with the final Closing it has received subscriptions aggregating $3,787,973.00 US Funds. Previous News Releases had indicated that in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreements (based on the terms of the original conditional approval of the financing by the TSX Venture Exchange) the balance of the up to $5,000,000 financing might close in one or more tranches on or before December 31, 2008, later extended to January 15, 2009. Description of Securities Notes: Each Note is non-transferrable and convertible into Shares. The principal and interest of each Note will become due and payable two years from the date of issuance of the Unit, unless the Note is earlier converted or redeemed. Each Note bears simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum in arrears payable to the extent accrued on the earlier of the Due Date, conversion or redemption, as set forth in the Note. Subject to provisions set forth in each Note, upon conversion or redemption, interest will be paid in the form of Shares at a Market Price as set forth in the Note. The Company has no present intention of listing the Notes on any exchange and currently there is no published market for any Notes of the Company. The issue of the Notes will not restrict or prevent the Company from obtaining any other financing, or from issuing additional securities or rights, during the period within which the Notes may be converted. At any time after the expiration of (4) four months after the Closing Date, the holder may convert a Note to Shares in the ratio of US$0.60 of Note converted to one Share. Any interest payable will be converted into Shares at a Market Price rate as set forth in the Note. However, as to any Note, the Company reserves the right to pay some or all of the interest in cash (U.S. funds) if necessary to satisfy a listing condition of the NYSE Alternext US. In the event that, at any time after the expiration of (4) four months after the Closing Date, the Company's common shares have achieved or exceeded a closing price of US$0.75 for a 10 trading day consecutive period on the NYSE Alternext US, the Notes shall be automatically redeemed and converted to Shares in the ratio of US$0.60 of Note redeemed to one Share. Any interest payable will be converted into Shares at a Market Price rate as set forth in the Note. However, as to any Note, the Company reserves the right to pay some or all of the interest in cash (U.S. funds) if necessary to satisfy a listing condition of the NYSE Alternext US. At any time after the expiration of (4) four months after the Closing Date, the Company may, prior to conversion, on 30 days notice in writing (during which period, the holder may exercise the right of conversion) redeem the Notes by paying the holders the principal amount of the Note together with interest at the rate of 15% per annum calculated from the date of the issue of the Note. Warrants: Each Warrant is non-transferable and entitles the Purchaser at any time after the expiration of (4) four months after the Closing Date to acquire common shares in the capital of the Company as constituted on the date hereof (each such common share referred to as a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.75 (U.S. Funds) per Warrant Share at any time on or before 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the "Expiry Date", being the first business day that is two years after issue of the Unit. The number of Warrant Shares each Warrant shall be entitled to acquire shall be in the ratio of US$0.60 per total consideration paid by the Purchaser rounded to the nearest whole Warrant Share. (For example, if the Purchaser subscribes for $25,000, then the Warrant will entitle the Purchaser to acquire 41,667 common shares.) The Company has no present intention of listing the Warrants on any exchange and currently there is no published market for any warrants of the Company. The terms and conditions which govern the Warrants are referred to on the certificates representing the Warrants and, among other things, includes provisions for the appropriate adjustment in the class, number and price of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Company's common shares, the payment of stock dividends and the amalgamation of the Company. The issue of the Warrants will not restrict or prevent the Company from obtaining any other financing, or from issuing additional securities or rights, during the period within which the Warrants may be exercised. In the event that, at any time after four months after issue of the warrant, the Company's common shares have achieved or exceeded a closing price of US$1.00 for a 10 trading day consecutive period on the NYSE Alternext US, the Company may accelerate the warrants expiry date to 30 days after notice is given. Subject to vetting by TSX Venture Exchange, cash finder's fees will be payable with respect to the subscriptions as to which this closing has occurred. Quaterra Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QTA)(NYSE Alternext US:QMM) is a junior exploration company focused on making significant mineral discoveries in North America.
