---------------------------------------------------------------------

Vancouver, British Columbia - Brazil Resources Inc. (the 'Company' or
'Brazil Resources') (TSX-V: BRI; OTCQX: BRIZF, Frankfurt: BSR) is pleased
to announce that recent rock sampling, geophysical and soil geochemical
surveys at its Artulândia project have identified an anomalous copper gold
zone of approximately 1,000m by 250m, which is open in all directions.  The
Artulândia project covers 12,000 acres within the Company's 247,000 acre
Pireneus district and is located in Goias state, one of the most prolific
mining districts in Brazil.

Stephen Swatton, President and CEO, stated, 'Our geological team believes
Artulândia has the potential to be a significant discovery, made with a
modest budget in an area that has not had previous mining or exploration
activity. Based on preliminary exploration data, similarities are being
drawn with Yamana's Chapada Copper-Gold Mine to the north.  However, we
acknowledge that the Artulândia project is in the early stages of
exploration and, therefore, more work, including drilling, needs to be done
to fully realize and understand this project.'

Highlights from the new results obtained at Artulândia include:

* Target ART-1; Further follow-up work completed on target area ART-1 has
confirmed new mineralized outcrops, with increased copper values of up to
0.81%, gold values of up to 2.3 g/t and silver values of up to 344 g/t,
plus additional anomalies of lead-zinc. A geophysical survey has identified
a main IP anomaly trending along strike for approximately 400m, which
coincides with the geochemically defined gold-copper zone identified by
previous soil and rock chip sampling. ART-1 is considered a priority, and
the next phase of exploration is expected to include diamond drilling of
this target.  Geochemical sampling indicates that the mineralization
extends for an additional 600m to the east of the main IP anomaly (Targets
ART-2 and ART-3).

* Target ART-5; A new zone located approximately 750m NE of ART-1 has been
discovered comprising gossans trending along strike for approximately 700m.
These gossans are similar to those found at target area ART-1. A total of
50 rock geochemical samples have been collected from target area ART-5 and
sent to the laboratory to confirm the presence of mineralization.

In its news release dated April 26, 2012, Brazil Resources announced the
first results of a geochemical sampling program at Artulândia and
identified eight target areas (ART-1 to ART-8) with elevated copper, gold,
lead and zinc values surrounding a large intrusive granitoid with rock grab
sample results of up to 1.2 g/t gold, 0.7% copper and greater than 2%
lead-zinc in separate samples.

Since May 2012, follow-up geochemical sampling and detailed geological
mapping programs have been completed on target areas ART-1 and ART- 5.  In
addition a geophysical IP/Mag ground survey has been completed and a
trenching program has been initiated at ART-1. To date, assay results are
available for a total of 603 rock grab samples, 1,581 soil samples and 62
stream sediment collected from target areas ART-1 and ART-5.
Based on petrographic and detailed geochemical and geophysical data
interpretation, Company geologists believe the geology at Artulândia may be
a porphyry copper deposit.

Therefore comparisons are being drawn with the Chapada Mine operated by
Yamana Gold, which is located approximately 140 km north of the Artulândia
project.  Chapada produced 135,000 oz of gold and 166 million pounds of
copper in 2011 as publicly disclosed by Yamana. Readers should be aware
that the comparison to Chapada contained herein is based on preliminary
exploration by the Company to date and substantial additional exploration
is required to define the extension, continuity and geology of the
mineralized zones at Artulândia, which does not currently have any defined
resources, and, therefore, the results at Chapada are not necessarily
indicative of the potential of the Artulândia project.

The geophysical survey was performed by Fugro Geophysics, and processed by
Reconsult Geofísica. The IP-resistivity survey comprised 7.65 line kms, and
the magnetics survey comprised 23.35 line kms. The grid lines were oriented
north-south and each line was 100 meters apart.

Future Work:
The Company plans to further its exploration efforts on all the remaining
targets.  A diamond drill program to investigate Target 1, and possibly
Targets 2 and 3, is currently under consideration.  Targets ART-4, ART-5
and ART-6 have been outlined by the recent geophysical survey and will be
investigated by additional rock sampling and mapping. The current
geochemical/geophysical results only represent the investigation of two
targets (ART-1 and ART-5) of the eight geochemical targets initially
identified by the Company.

Note Regarding Scientific and Technical Information 
Paulo Pereira, the Company's Vice President of Exploration has supervised
the preparation of and reviewed the technical information and verified the
data contained in this document. Mr. Pereira holds a Bachelor degree in
Geology from Universidade do Amazonas in Brazil, is a qualified person as
defined in National Instrument 43-101 and is a member of the Association of
Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

The reconnaissance sampling at the Artulândia project was performed using
stream sediment sampling to cover the entire area of the claim block.
Streams sediment samples were collected using 10 liters constant volume
samples and the collected material was panned in the field for gold color
counts. Follow-up sampling was completed on anomalous areas defined by the
results of the stream sediment sampling. Soil samples were collected on
regular grids (200m x 50m) at 0.30 m depth. The material excavated in each
soil sampling location was homogenized and a 2 kg representative sample was
collected.  Rock samples (hand-specimen size) were collected during
geological mapping over the entire area and on target area ART-1 rock
samples were collected over regular grid (100m x 25m) and on representative
mineralized outcrops.

Brazil Resources operates QA/QC controls of sampling and analytical
procedures.  For geochemical sampling (stream sediment, soil, rock)
duplicates are inserted in the sample batches at a reason of one duplicate
for every ten samples.  Samples from the Artulândia project are transported
by the company staff from the project by road to SGS-Geosol Labs in
Goiania, Goias for preparation and pulps are sent to SGS-Geosol Labs in
Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil in secured and sealed sample bags for
analysis. Samples are assayed by the lab for gold using a 50 gram fire
assay with AAS finish and ICP for 37 elements.
