NEWS RELEASE 

Goldbrook announces additional nickel sulphide mineralization
at Sylvie including 6.05 metres averaging 2.72% Ni, 1.37% Cu
and 7.115 g/t PGE+Au in drill hole SYL07-018

 Vancouver, British Columbia - Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook" or "Company") is pleased to announce the assay results for an additional four holes drilled on its 100% owned Sylvie Prospect during the 2007 exploration season in the Raglan Belt, northwest Quebec (see Tables 1 and 2).  Results for sixteen other holes were released earlier (see press releases dated Nov. 27 2007 and Feb. 14 2008).  During the 2007 exploration season, Goldbrook carried out an extensive exploration program and completed 133 holes for 20,563.8 metres on six separate prospects known as Getty, Sylvie, Bravo B4, R2, Timtu and Mystery.  These prospects outcrop along a 40 km strike length of the favourable Belanger-Delta Horizon. 

Sylvie is hosted within the gabbro-pyroxenite margin at the east end of an ultramafic-mafic intrusive complex one kilometre east of the Getty Prospect and 5.5 km NNE of the Company's Belanger base camp.  The 2007 drilling program at Sylvie followed up previous successful drilling and tested a strong bulls-eye, moving-loop TEM (SQUID) conductor.  Wardrop Engineering Inc. ("Wardrop") is in the process of completing an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate and report for the Getty and Sylvie showings.  All available drilling, assay, geological and metallurgical data will be incorporated into this estimate.   Maps and a cross-section for the Sylvie prospect are available for viewing on the Goldbrook website: http://www.goldbrookventures.com/EN/sylvie/

Thirty-three (33) holes were drilled on the Sylvie showing in 2007.  Twenty (20) of those holes have intersected significant high grade Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralization.  The results for sixteen (16) holes have already been released while the results for the remaining four holes are as follows:  

• Drill hole SYL07-003 intersected 0.5 metres core length averaging 0.55% Ni and 0.42% Cu.
   
• Drill hole SYL07-007, drilled on the east side of Sylvie showing, contains three significant intersections:
• 2.7 metres core length from 54.6 m downhole, averaging 0.65% Ni and 0.55% Cu with 1.020 g/t PGE+Au
• 8.4 metres core length at 61 metres downhole averaging 0.55% Ni and 0.50% Cu with 1.264 g/t PGE+Au
• 0.5 metre core length at 73.5 metres downhole averaging 0.98% Ni and 1.29% Cu with 1.007 g/t PGE+Au.

 �         Drill hole SYL07-018 contains two intersections of significant interest:

�         The first section of 0.65 metres core length is from 100.25 metres downhole and averages 1.59% Ni, 2.38% Cu with 2.352 g/t PGE+Au.

�         A second section of 13.05 metres core length is from 109.1 metres downhole and averages 1.66% Ni, 1.06% Cu and 4.707g/t PGE+Au.  This latter intersection includes two higher grade intervals, one of 0.60 metres core length at 109.6 metres downhole (interval 2i in Table 1) containing 11.910 g/t PGE+Au, and a second intersection (interval 2ii in Table 1) of 6.05 metres core length starting at 111.2 metres downhole averaging 2.72% Ni, 1.37% Cu, and 7.115 g/t PGE+Au. 

�         Drill hole SYL07-019 intersected 5.55 metres core length of massive and net-textured sulphides averaging 0.51% Ni and 0.67% Cu (interval 1 in Table 1) from 170.75 metres down hole. This section includes (interval 1i in Table 1) 0.7 metres core length averaging 3.13% Ni and 4.134 g/t PGE+Au from 175.60 metres downhole. 

 The composited assay results for the mineralized intersections in all four Sylvie holes are presented in Table 1.

 Table 1: Composited assay results

Note: true widths are estimated to be 80-95% of the core lengths reported due to the irregular shapes of the nickel sulphide zones.

Previously released results for the Sylvie prospect include drill hole SYL07-023 (released Nov. 14, 2007) which intersected 18.5 m of mineralization grading 1.41% Ni, 0.67% Cu and 3.232 g/t PGE+Au.  In addition, hole SYL07-032 (released Nov. 27, 2007) contains 6.3 m grading 3.13% Ni, 1.22% Cu and 2.227 g/t PGE+Au while drill hole SYL07-033 (released Nov. 27, 2007) contains 7.9 m of 3.23% Ni, 0.93% Cu and 1.569 g/t PGE+Au.

This new data, combined with historic and previous drilling data, indicates that Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralization has been intersected intermittently for approximately 125 metres along strike and to depths of up to 200 metres down dip at Sylvie.  The Sylvie Prospect is shallow and remains open to the west and down-dip. 

Goldbrook will be including additional zone delineation and resource drilling of the Sylvie Prospect in future program planning. 

Core samples from the 2007 drill program were prepared and assayed by ALS Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, BC (ISO 9001:2000 certified).  Assay results for nickel, copper, and cobalt were determined by acid digestion and ICP-AES finish.  Platinum, palladium and gold were determined by lead fire assay and ICP-AES finish.  In addition to quality control by ALS Chemex, Goldbrook inserts Certified Reference Materials, blanks and duplicates into sample batches for independent verification of quality control.

(Toronto) and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and is responsible for the technical content of this press release.  G. Carter, P.Geo., Vancouver, is an independent consultant who has carried out a full QAQC review of the 2007 Goldbrook Raglan project assay data, prior to this release, and verified the data validity.
