Brett's In-Fill Drilling Continues To Intersect Significant Widths and Grades At Hammond Reef
January 14 2010 - 7:19AM
Marketwired Canada
Brett Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BBR) is pleased to provide results from
drilling completed to the end of 2009 at its Hammond Reef Project in
northwestern Ontario. Highlights of recent results include drill holes BR-148
with 196.5 metres of 1.13 grams per tonne Au, BR-153 with 97.5 metres of 2.24
grams per tonne Au and BR-163 with 198.0 metres of 1.02 grams per tonne Au.
Patrick Soares, President and CEO comments, "I am pleased that the current
in-fill drill program is providing consistently good results that confirm the
continuity of the mineralization".
Drilling completed to the end of 2009 totaled 29 holes and just over 9,200
metres. Assay results from BR-135 to BR-147 were released on December 8, 2009.
The Company has now received the assays for the remaining 16 holes, BR-148 to
BR-163. Please see drill plan map
(http://www.brettresources.com/i/pdf/100107_Drilling_Pressrelease.pdf) on the
Company's website.
The majority of these newly released results report to the infill program of the
A-Zone, with the exception of holes BR-149 and BR-151 which were collared North
of Mitta Lake. The diamond drilling completed North of Mitta Lake tested the
footwall of the system just east of the A-Zone. The in-fill program has been
designed to assist in determining the drill density required to convert the
current Inferred Resource to Indicated and Measured. The infill holes will also
be used to refine the geological interpretation of the deposit.
Summarized below are the best intervals for each of the 16 holes. A complete
listing of all the intervals for these holes along with a plan view of the holes
can be found on the Company web site at www.brettresources.com. Schematic
cross-sections showing mineralization will be added to the web site.

Limited drill testing of the footwall was completed with six holes. The assay
results of last two of these holes are reported. The objective of drill testing
the footwall was for a combination of exploration and engineering planning
purposes.
The following table shows the footwall exploration holes:

Brett has resumed drilling at Hammond Reef with two diamond drills. One drill
will continue to test the A-Zone area and the other will move to the 41-Zone
where it will initiate completion of a tightly spaced drill hole layout.
This phase of 41-Zone testing will have a similar objective to the A-Zone
in-fill program where geological data will be collected to assist in determining
the required drill density to upgrade the current Inferred Resource. These holes
will also assist in refining the 41-Zone geological model.
A third drill diamond will be added to the program before the end of January.
This third drill will be operated by Rainy Lake Tribal Contracting ("RLTC"), a
well respected and highly experienced local First Nations contractor.
