Brett Drilling Continues to Confirm Continuity of Mineralization Along Known Trends

08/03/2010 1:03pm

Marketwired Canada


Brett Resources Inc. ("Brett") (TSX VENTURE:BBR) is pleased to provide an update
on assay results from the continued drilling of its Hammond Reef Project, in
northwestern Ontario. Three of the better intersections in this set of assays
include BR179 which ran 100.50m of 1.39 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, BR182
which ran 114.0m of 1.33 g/t gold, and BR183 which reported 190.50m of 0.84 g/t
gold.


All holes completed prior to the Christmas break were reported in Brett's
January 14, 2010, news release "Brett's In-Fill Drilling Continues to Intersect
Significant Widths and Grades at Hammond Reef ". The number of drills at Hammond
Reef has been increased to five and two more are expected before mid March.


Since drilling resumed in January, more than 36 diamond drill holes have been
completed. Results are available for 20 of these holes. The completed holes are
part of a definition drill program that consists of both in-fill holes and holes
to test the open, down dip limits of the mineralization which defines the
current resource. This drill program is being undertaken in both the A-Zone and
41-Zone.


In early February, once ice thickness was sufficiently built-up, Brett moved
four drills onto Mitta Lake. These drills are working to complete a 50-metre
spaced drill pattern that will provide more information in the sparsely drilled
area between the A and 41 Zones. Lake and wet muskeg drilling is a priority for
the balance of the winter program.


Patrick Soares, President and CEO comments, "I am pleased that our Hammond Reef
project has been ramped up with additional drills and that our new facility is
able to support a multi drill program. I am also pleased that good assay results
continue to confirm the continuity of the mineralization."


A Zone and Mitta Lake Drilling

The A Zone drilling results presented in Table 1 should be read in conjunction
with Figure 1 (http://www.brettresources.com/i/maps/Nr-10-07_Fig-1.jpg), which
is a plan view that shows the location of the holes. The majority of the holes
were designed to better define the northeast trend of the mineralization. Two
holes (BR-175 and BR-177) were completed at specific orientations to test the
continuity of mineralization between cross sections. These two holes also tested
for any mineralized cross structures that would not have been readily recognized
based on the orientation of previous holes.


These two holes have verified our belief that the Hammond Reef mineralization
has good three-dimensional continuity, and further suggest our current resource
model does not have any grade bias derived by any unrecognized controls. Also
encouraging is the fact that new drilling has demonstrated excellent grade
thickness values to the northeast, to Section 2020E, as demonstrated by holes
BR-179, BR-180 and BR-183. Drilling beyond Section 2020E may continue to confirm
this trend, and further drilling this winter will test this area.

(ii) Not true thickness, holes completed in an orientation that is not
perpendicular to the main trend of mineralization.


The balance of the holes to be reported here are from the 41 Zone with two holes
(BR-170 and BR-174) testing the area between down dip portion of the 41 Zone and
the RAB Zone.


Very poor productivity has been obtained from the drill assigned to test the RAB
Area, a new exploration trend. This drill has been replaced, and better
productivity is noted with the new rig.


Hole BR-170, encountered moderate alteration and gold mineralization up to 24.0
metres of 0.46 g/t Au, but potential exists to locate additional gold
mineralization down dip in this hole.


Hole BR 174 returned only narrow intervals of anomalous gold levels.

The location of the holes in the area of the 41 Zone is illustrated on Figure 2
(http://www.brettresources.com/i/maps/Nr-10-07_Fig-2.jpg) with the summary of
significant assay intervals presented below:
