BrazMin Announces Final Phase II Drill Results from the São Jorge Gold Project

Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (Nov 3, 2006) – BrazMin Corp. (“BrazMin” or the “Company”) (TSX: BZM) is pleased to announce the results of the final seven diamond drill holes from the Phase II Exploration Program on the Company’s 100%-owned São Jorge Gold Project (“São Jorge” or the “Project”), located in the Tapajós Gold District, Pará State, Brazil.

The drill holes reported in this release are from the Wilton East and Kite Zones, as well as several additional target areas; highlights include:

Wilton East Zone

  • 1.63 g/t Au over 24.77 metres, including 5.17 g/t Au over 4.29 metres in hole SJD-072-06
  • 5.53 g/t Au over 1.12 metres, 5.48 g/t Au over 1.07 metres, and 3.72 g/t Au over 2.24 metres in hole SJD-071-06

Kite Zone

  • 6.25 g/t Au over 0.61 metres and 2.66 g/t Au over 1.10 metres in hole SJD-065-06

The Phase II Program successfully identified two new gold mineralized zones, namely the Kite and Wilton East Zones, located 350 metres northwest and 430 metres southeast, respectively, of the Wilton Zone. The Kite and Wilton East Zones lie within the same northwest trending structural corridor as the Wilton Zone. This structural corridor is open along strike to the northwest of the Kite Zone and to the southeast of the Wilton East Zone (see maps on the Company’s website at www.brazmin.com).

The Kite Zone is located in an area of small-scale “garimpos” (artisanal workings) which exploited the stone line to the mottled zone. A total of seven drill holes, including one reported in this release, have been drilled by BrazMin in the Kite Zone. Of these seven holes, five intersected gold mineralization.

The Wilton East Zone is located in an area overlain by tailings and dams from the Wilton Pit, with little indication of garimpos. To date, three holes, two of which are reported in this news release, have intersected gold mineralization in the Wilton East Zone over a 200 metre strike length.

Three holes reported in this release (SJD-076-06, SJD-079-06, and SJD-082-06) tested Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical anomalies. With the exception of hole SJD-076-06, which intersected a narrow zone of sulphide-hosted mineralization yielding 1.06 g/t Au over 0.82 metres north of the Wilton Zone, the sources of the IP anomalies were not explained by the drilling. A fourth hole (SJD-069-06) tested an area with indications of mineralization and alteration at surface, known as the Borboleta target. This hole did not encounter significant mineralization.

Based on the interpretation of structural and airborne geophysical data, a total of eight new regional targets have been defined at São Jorge. Geological mapping and grid-based soil sampling is planned for these targets, with the objective of delineating drill targets. BrazMin’s Phase II Drill Program at São Jorge is now complete, with a total of 7,952 metres drilled in 34 holes. Assay results for all holes have now been received and released by the Company.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Qualified Person

The drill holes reported in this release were collared using HQ (63.5mm)-sized core in the oxidized saprolite zone and NQ (47.6mm)-sized core in the fresh (sulphide) bedrock. The core is logged and photographed by BrazMin staff and then split using a diamond saw. Half the core is stored on-site in a secure core shed and the other half is sampled, bagged, secured, and stored on-site until several holes are ready for transporting by road to SGS-Lakefield-Geosol Laboratorio Ltda’s (“Lakefield”) sample-preparation laboratory in Itaituba, Brazil. The entire half-core is crushed and two kilograms is pulverized and homogenized. 150 Gram pulps are then air-freighted by Lakefield to their main assay laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Lakefield is ISO14001 and ISO 9001:2000 accredited and is independent of BrazMin. Gold is determined by fire assay/atomic absorption with a detection limit of 5ppb Au using 50 gram aliquots. Lead fire assays use silver as a co-collector to facilitate easier handling of prills as well as to minimize losses during the cupellation process. Selected samples will later be analyzed for other elements such as silver, copper, lead, zinc, etc. by ICP spectrometry/multi-acid digestion. The laboratory is instructed to automatically reanalyze abnormally high gold values.Specific gravity determinations are done using a gas picnometer. QA/QC procedures include the submission by BrazMin of systematic duplicates, blanks and standard samples within the sample batches submitted to Lakefield. In addition, Lakefield inserts its own standards into each sample batch. The results from these control samples indicate acceptable consistency of analysis. Selected representative pulverized sample duplicates are submitted for referee analyses to ALS Chemex’s laboratory in Vancouver, an ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025 accredited laboratory which is independent of BrazMin.

BrazMin’s exploration programs are being managed by BrazMin’s President and CEO, Mr. Tony Ransom (Pr.Sci.Nat.), and, on-site, by BrazMin’s VP Exploration, Mr. Paulo Ilidio de Brito (Member: AusIMM), both of whom are qualified persons within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Ilidio, who is responsible for the technical material in this release, has verified the data disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information. Geological logging, sampling and core handling procedures were carried out under the supervision of Mr. Ilidio.
