Vancouver, British Columbia - Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook") announced today that Jien Canada Mining Ltd. (the "Offeror") has formally commenced an all-cash take-over bid (the "Take-Over Bid") for Canadian Royalties Inc. ("Canadian Royalties", TSX:CZZ) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Shares") and all of the 7% Convertible Senior Unsecured Debentures due March 31, 2015 (the "Debentures") of Canadian Royalties (the "Offers"). The Offeror is jointly owned by Jien International Investment Ltd. ("JJ Holdco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd ("Jilin Jien") and Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook"). 

"We are extremely pleased with the support we have received since announcing our intention to launch a take-over bid for Canadian Royalties," said Mr. David Baker, Chairman and CEO, Goldbrook Ventures Inc. "We look forward to making a significant investment in the development of the large scale Nunavik Nickel project. We firmly believe that many stakeholders will benefit from this transaction, not only the Canadian Royalties securityholders, who will realize substantial and immediate premium."

Offer Reflects True Value of Canadian Royalties' Assets 

• Total cash consideration of approximately Cdn$148.5 million, including accrued interest on the Debentures. 
• The Share Offer represents a premium of approximately 28.2% over the volume weighted average trading price for the 20 previous trading days ending August 6, 2009. 
• The Debenture Offer represents a premium of approximately 122% over the volume weighted average trading price for the 20 previous trading days ending August 6, 2009. 

On August 6, 2009, the last day prior to the Offeror's announcement of its intention to make Offer, the closing price of the shares was Cdn$0.48 and the closing price of the Debentures was Cdn$305 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. 

Pursuant to the Offers, each holder of Shares ("Shareholder") will receive C$0.60 for each Share tendered under the Share Offer (the "Share Offer") and each holder of $1,000 principal amount of Debenture ("Debentureholder") will receive C$600 per C$1,000 principal amount of Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date the Debentures are taken up under the debenture offer (the "Debenture Offer"). The Share Offer price represents a premium of approximately 25% based on the closing price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on August 6, 2009. The Debenture Offer price represents a premium of approximately 97% based on the closing price of the Debentures on the TSX on August 6, 2009. 

The Take-Over Bid is subject to customary conditions, including: that a minimum of 66 2/3% of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis and 66 2/3% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Debentures are tendered to the Offers, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the absence of any material adverse change in Canadian Royalties, the absence of certain prohibited activities on the part of Canadian Royalties (including share issuances, material debt issuances, acquisitions and dispositions) between August 6, 2009 and the expiry of the Offers, and no untrue statements or omissions in Canadian Royalties' public disclosure. The Offeror intends to take all necessary steps to acquire any Shares or Debentures that remain outstanding following the expiry of the Offers.  

Full details of the Offers are contained in the formal offers and a take-over bid circular (the "Offer Documents") to be filed today with securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Shareholders and Debentureholders ("Securityholders").
