Goldbrook Commences Arbitration Proceedings Against Jilin Jien

20/10/2010 2:00pm

Marketwired Canada


NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES


Further to its press release dated September 21, 2010, Goldbrook Ventures Inc.
(TSX VENTURE:GBK) ("Goldbrook" or the "Company") announces that it has commenced
arbitration proceedings in British Columbia against Jilin Jien Nickel Industry,
Co., Ltd. and its affiliates ("Jilin Jien") in respect of Jilin Jien's purported
issuance of voting common shares of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. ("Jien Canada") that
would reduce Goldbrook's percentage of voting shares, and consequently
Goldbrook's interest in the Nunavik Nickel Project, from 25% to 4.21%. Goldbrook
is seeking remedies, including declarations that the share issuance violated the
terms of the Shareholder Agreement between the parties and that Goldbrook
continues to hold 25% of the voting shares of Jien Canada. 


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
861,000 acres.


Goldbrook's Raglan project is in the third year of an option-joint venture
agreement with Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd., ("Jilin Jien") under which
they can earn a fifty percent interest in the Goldbrook properties by funding
minimum exploration expenditures of $45 million plus reinvestment of Quebec
government rebates.


Goldbrook is a shareholder of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. ("Jien Canada") (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. The board of Jien
Canada has recently purported to approve an issuance of voting common shares of
Jien Canada that would reduce Goldbrook's percentage of voting shares, and
consequently Goldbrook's interest in the project, from 25% to 4.21%. Goldbrook
has commenced arbitration proceedings against Jilin Jien and others seeking
remedies, including declarations that the share issuance violated the terms of
the Shareholder Agreement between the parties and that Goldbrook continues to
hold 25% of the voting shares of Jien Canada. Although Goldbrook intends to
advance its position vigorously there is no certainty it will be successful in
this regard.


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: 

David Baker, Chairman and Director
