NEWS RELEASE
Goldbrook Receives Initial Funding for 2010 Exploration Program
Vancouver, British Columbia - Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook") is pleased to announce that it has received initial funding of $3,000,000 for the 2010 exploration program from Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. of Panshi, Jilin, China ("Jilin Jien"). This year's planned exploration program will include up to 25,000 metres of diamond drilling in addition to a regional mapping program, geochemical surveys and ground geophysical surveys. This program will follow-up on the highly successful previous programs of the last several years, which resulted in discoveries of extensive nickel sulphides at the Mystery and Timtu zones and other priority drill targets across the property. Exploration program funding in 2010, which is planned to be in excess of $17,500,000 plus received government rebates, will also test new and positive results from previous geophysical, geological, remote sensing and other work to better define the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide potential within Goldbrook's extensive Raglan Nickel Belt property holdings.
About Goldbrook
Goldbrook Ventures is engaged in the exploration for Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element sulphide deposits - a class of mineral deposit that, due to its poly-metallic nature, has the advantage of protection against individual metal price cycles and has strong long term supply-demand fundamentals. Goldbrook's quest for discovery is focused in the Raglan District of Northern Quebec, a district that hosts Xstrata's Raglan operations, arguably one of the world's most profitable nickel-copper-PGE mines. Goldbrook is the District's single largest holder of mineral rights, with a 100% interest in 861,000 acres.Goldbrook also owns 25% of the voting shares of Jien Canada Mining Ltd. ("Jien Canada"). Jien Canada successfully acquired Canadian Royalties Inc., the owner of the nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum-palladium-gold deposits in the Raglan mining district which collectively form the Nunavik Nickel Project.
