VANCOUVER, Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – Brazil Resources Inc. (the “Company” or
“Brazil Resources”) (TSX-V: BRI) is pleased to announce it has staked
247,000 acres covering the Pireneus region in Goias State, Brazil. The
project area is located approximately 150 km west of Brasilia and
contains several occurrences of historic artisanal gold mining
operations.

After completing a preliminary review of available exploration data and
examining neighbouring projects, the Company’s geological team is
encouraged by the potential of the new project area. Goias State is an
emerging gold-producing district in Brazil with increasing production
from the Kinross-Anglogold Ashanti Crixas Mine and Yamana Gold’s
Chapada Mine, and total qualified gold resources of more than 7 million
ounces. The Company has identified areas of initial interest based on
geophysical surveys and regional geochemical sampling. A regional
exploration program is scheduled to begin immediately upon obtaining
the requisite exploration license, which will include mapping, stream
sediment sampling, soil sampling and geophysical reconnaissance on
these areas.

President and CEO Stephen Swatton stated, “Today’s announcement is a
significant development in realizing our goals to establish a
diversified project portfolio throughout Brazil by adding this
district-sized land package in one of Brazil’s most prominent mining
jurisdictions. We continue to be excited by the potential of our
exploration activities in the Gurupi Belt, including our pending
drilling program at Montes Áureos, which is currently our primary
project.”

The staked area is being acquired by the Company through an application
to the Brazilian National Department of Mining Production for a new
exploration license, which has priority and is pending approval. The
initial term of the exploration license is three years from the date of
official publication. Under the terms of the license, in addition to its exploration programs
and other requirements under the license and applicable law, the
Company will be responsible for annual land fees.
