About Brookwater: 

Brookwater Ventures Inc. is a Canadian independent oil exploration company
focused on growing its asset base primarily in Brazil. The Company believes that
a tremendous opportunity exists in Brazil, where only approximately 6% of the
sedimentary basins have been titled for exploration and development. The country
remains underexploited and the Company believes that to capitalize on these
opportunities requires investing in and leveraging a domestic team with basin
knowledge, technical expertise and a network of relationships to optimize risk
adjusted returns.
