• District-scale Land Package, 198,068 Hectares (489,426 Acres)
• Along Southern Extension of the Prolific Cuiaba Gold Trend, Mato Grosso
  State Brazil
• One of Only Two Precambrian Rock Exposures in the Republic of Paraguay

VANCOUVER, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – Brazil Resources Inc. (the “Company” or
“Brazil Resources”) (TSXV: BRI) (OTCQX: BRIZF) is pleased to announce
that it has acquired through its wholly owned Paraguayan subsidiary, a
mineral concession from the Republic of Paraguay, covering 198,068
hectares (489,426 acres) in Concepcion State, Paraguay, (the “Apa High
Project” or the “Project”). The Project area is contiguous with the
Brazilian border and is located along the southern extension of the
Cuiaba Gold Belt, Mato Grosso State Brazil.

Stephen Swatton, President and CEO, stated, “We are very pleased to
announce our first Project in Paraguay. It is a natural fit for the
Company to leverage our team’s understanding of the geology in Brazil
with the similar geology in bordering Paraguay. Paraguay has shown
through government policy that it is determined to establish itself as
a leading mining jurisdiction in South America, which we believe has
created a frontier opportunity.”

In the Brazilian portion of the Cuiaba Belt, also known as Apa Shield,
there are a number of well known large and mid-size mining companies
exploring for gold and base metal deposits, including Votorantim
(Nickel), Kinross (Gold) and MMX (Copper).

The Project area contains one of the two exposed areas in Paraguay where
Precambrian-age rocks occur and it is believed that this package of
rocks may be prospective for gold mineralization. To our knowledge the
only mining company to have explored in this area is Yamana Gold Inc.
which initiated gold exploration at Apa High in the mid-1990s, however,
much of the Project area remains underexplored.

Company geologists have compiled and reviewed available exploration data
and geological literature. A structural and geochemical analysis of the
Project is planned through available Landsat imagery to potentially
identify prospective target areas for reconnaissance field mapping and
sampling.

The area was acquired by the Company through Resolution 1692 issued by
the Paraguayan Ministry of Public Works and Communication (MOPC), which
includes the Vice Ministry of Mines and Energy. The resolution will
allow the Company to conduct initial prospecting and exploration
activities over the concession area for a period of eight years subject to acquiring the required licenses.

The Company will need an environmental license through MOPC and pay
annual land fees to the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

In other business the Company also announces that it has completed the
scheduled issuance of 100,000 common shares under the terms of its
mineral property option and joint venture agreement with respect to its
Montes Áureos and Trinta Projects. The share issuance is in relation to
the Company’s option to earn an initial 51% interest in the projects
upon satisfying the conditions thereof, including issuing an additional
100,000 common shares on or before September 30, 2013 and incurring
certain additional expenditures on the projects. The Company also has
an option to earn an additional 46% interest in the Montes Áureos and
Trinta Projects by satisfying certain conditions prior to September 30,
2015.

Paulo Pereira, the Company’s Vice President of Exploration, has
supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in
this news release. Mr. Pereira holds a Bachelor’s degree in Geology
from Universidade do Amazonas in Brazil, is a qualified person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101 and is a member of the
Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.
