Brett Resources 70,000 Metre Drill Program Underway

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Brett Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: BBR) is pleased to announce that
drilling has started on its Hammond Reef Gold Property in north-western
Ontario.

Highlights of the drill program are outlined below:

- Approximately 70,000 metres of drilling is scheduled for completion by
the fall of 2010.

- Information from an infill drill program on the A Zone and the 41 Zone
will be used to evaluate the drill spacing necessary to move Brett's
current plus 5 million ounce resource from the inferred category to the
indicated and measured categories.

- Drilling in open areas along strike and up and down dip is expected to
increase the size of the current resource and has the potential to lower
the mine strip ratio.

- Exploration drilling will target new potential discoveries over the
Manley area, the Sande and Stewart and in other new gold zones uncovered
by this summer's exploration program.

"Brett's current drill campaign should provide the Company with
information so that an advanced stage scoping study that includes an
upgraded resource can be produced late in 2010," said Patrick Soares,
President and CEO of Brett Resources. "This information will allow us to
move the project to a pre-feasibility level. We expect to see the
resource grow within the known resource area, and hope that the new
exploration areas provide additional targets for further resource growth."

Cyr Drilling Ontario Inc. currently has its first drill turning on the
property and has just completed its second hole. A second drill is
expected to be added in mid-October. Rainy Lake Tribal Contractors Ltd.
of Fort Frances will provide a third drill to test exploration targets
later this fall, once these targets are finalized.

In January two drills are scheduled to drill off the ice on Mitta Lake
delineating the deposit between the A and 41 Zones, and later in the
year, up to four or more drills will be active on the property. A map to
indicate where drilling is taking place on the property will be posted to
our web site, and be updated regularly. The actual drill locations and
the amount of drilling completed on the property will vary as results
from on-going drilling are received and interpreted.

Hammond Reef Milestones

During the past year Brett has successfully advanced the Hammond Reef
Project on a number of fronts.

- The Hammond Reef Resource, at a 0.6 g/t Au cut-off, was increased from
4.8 million ounces Inferred, announced late in 2008, to 5.2 million
ounces inferred, announced in July 2009 (155 million tonnes at a gold
grade of 1.04 g/t).

- At a lower cut-off of 0.4 g/t this inferred resource increases to 6.34
million ounces (227 million tonnes at a gold grade of 0.87 g/t) for an
additional 1.15 million ounces.

- Metallurgical results indicate that capital and operating cost savings
may be achieved by using a mill flowsheet that involves flotation versus
whole ore leaching. Gold recoveries from both processes exceed 90
percent, with results from flotation work indicating up to 93% recovery.

- A Memorandum Of Understanding ("MOU") was signed with Brett and all
eight First Nation communities that consider Hammond Reef part of their
Traditional Land.

- New exploration targets were identified in several areas that remain to
be tested.

- A scoping study contract was signed with Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle.
The study is due later this year.
