NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook") (TSX VENTURE:GBK) announces that the Directors of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. ("Jien Canada") have approved a project development budget of $122,400,000 for 2010, and have additionally approved a construction program which targets Q1 of 2012 for the commissioning and start-up of a mill and the necessary infrastructure to exploit the known resources of the Nunavik Nickel Project, located in Ungava, Northern Quebec. Goldbrook owns 25% and Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. owns 75% of the voting shares of Jien Canada. Jilin Jien is responsible for providing 100% of the funding to bring the Nunavik Nickel Project into production and will be repaid for its contribution out of cash flow from production on the property if commercial production occurs. Ongoing work on site includes the preparation during this construction season of fuel storage, personnel accommodations, roadwork, pre-stripping of the Expo and Mesamax deposits to generate construction material, Bombardier Dam site, concrete foundations for the mill site, structural steel erection and engineering studies in preparation for subsequent work. See photos at: http://www.goldbrookventures.com/EN/photo_gallery/photos_nunavik_nickel. SNC Lavalin were selected as the engineering, procurement and construction management services (EPCM services) contractor and they began work in early June based on a letter-of-intent. In connection with the construction activities, application has been made to regulatory authorities in Quebec for a permit to operate a 4,500 tpd mill at the site of the Nunavik Nickel Project (an upgrade from the 3,500 tpd mill currently permitted). Additionally, roadwork and earthworks are being executed by Kiewit-Nuvumiut based on a letter-of-intent. Current plans anticipate various infrastructure components to be advanced sufficiently to allow construction to continue through the winter months into 2011 leading to an anticipated start-up in the Q1 of 2012. An updated feasibility study on the Nunavik Nickel Project is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2010. Goldbrook Ventures Inc. previously commissioned P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to carry out an independent, compilation of previously released (Goldbrook PR April 10, 2010), NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for the Allammaq, Expo, Ivakkak, Mequillon, Mesamax and Puimajuq Deposits which are the foundation of the Nunavik Nickel Project. The work included a review of the geology, exploration history, historical resource estimates, a description of the deposit types and other information relevant to understanding the geology and exploration programs carried out on the Property. A copy of this report entitled "Technical Report on the Allammaq, Expo, Ivakkak, Mequillon, Mesamax and Puimajuq Ni-Cu-PGE Deposits of the Nunavik Nickel Project, Nunavik, Quebec", and dated April 14, 2010 is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on the Goldbrook website: www.goldbrookventures.com under Nunavik Nickel Project. Current Resources Estimated for the Nunavik Nickel Project ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Category (1) tonnes Ni % Cu % Co % Pt g/t Pd g/t Au g/t ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Measured Resources 560,000 0.93 1.10 0.04 0.60 2.66 0.10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indicated Resources 21,342,000 0.93 1.15 0.05 0.54 2.17 0.14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inferred Resources (2) 5,244,000 0.73 0.92 0.04 0.51 2.03 0.13 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. (2) The quantity and grade reported in this inferred resource estimation are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define an indicated mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of an indicated or measured mineral resource on the property. The mineral resources in these estimates were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council December 11, 2005. Jien Canada, and its team of senior management, professional employees, skilled trades people and contractors will be in charge of bringing the Nunavik Nickel Project into production on a timely and environmentally friendly basis. In addition to the Nunavik Nickel Project mine construction, under the Option Joint Venture Agreement between Goldbrook and Jilin Jien on Goldbrook's Raglan property, Goldbrook is currently executing an extensive exploration program with a budget of $17,500,000. The exploration program is being operated out of two camps, with 5 drills and with a target of up to 25,000 metres of drilling. The goals for the 2010 program will be to further delineate previously identified mineralized zones and conduct an extensive reconnaissance program to better understand the mineral potential across the extensive land holdings, comprising some 863,000 acres. Additionally, Goldbrook has learned that Canadian Royalties and its former directors, and certain of its current and former officers have been named as defendants in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made material misrepresentations about Canadian Royalties' operations and prospects in various public statements and filings from June 21, 2007 through August 5, 2008. The lawsuit also names Jien Canada as a defendant and seeks a declaration that it be bound by the court's findings with respect to the liability of Canadian Royalties and its former directors, and certain of its current and former officers. The time period that the alleged misrepresentations relate to is prior to the acquisition of Canadian Royalties by Jien Canada. Neither Goldbrook nor any of its directors or officers are named as defendants in the lawsuit. Jilin Jien is responsible for funding 100% of the costs of any lawsuits against Jien Canada. Mr. Antoine Yassa, P.Geo., Mr. Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., and Ms. Tracy Armstrong, P.Geo., all independent Qualified Persons as defined in NI 43-101, have reviewed and approved the scientific or technical information in this press release. About Goldbrook Goldbrook Ventures is engaged in the exploration and development of Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element sulphide deposits - a class of mineral deposit that, due to its polymetallic nature, has an advantage of protection against individual metal price cycles and has strong long term supply-demand fundamentals. Goldbrook's quest for discovery is focused in the Raglan District of Northern Quebec, a district that hosts Xstrata's Raglan operations, arguably one of the world's most profitable nickel-copper-PGE mines. Goldbrook is the District's single largest holder of mineral rights, with a 100% interest in 863,000 acres. Goldbrook also owns 25% of the voting shares of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. (which successfully acquired Canadian Royalties Inc.), the owner of the nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum-palladium-gold deposits in the Raglan mining district which collectively form the Nunavik Nickel Project.
