    operation of the Project will be offered to qualified members from the
    First Nations Parties and the local community and the Company will
    assist in providing training;

    community's businesses will be able to participate in the open bidding
    process for service and equipment contracts that will be awarded during
    the development, construction and operation of the Project; and
C.  funding consisting of $400,000 in the first year and $250,000 thereafter
    will be provided by Brett to the First Nations Parties for education and
    training.

Brett has also agreed, subject to regulatory approvals, to issue shares of the Company to the First Nations Parties as the following milestones are achieved:

A.  350,000 shares on signing of the formal IBA;
B.  350,000 shares on the earlier of the 1st anniversary of the signing of
    the IBA and the release of a new resource estimate for the Project by
    Brett;
C.  650,000 shares on each of the following: (i) the public announcement by
    Brett of the results of a feasibility study for the Project; and (ii)
    the receipt by Brett of all government permits required to put the
    Project into production;
D.  one million shares on each of the following: (i) the receipt by Brett of
    the requisite financing for the construction of a mine on the Property;
    (ii) the completion of mine construction on the Property; and (iii) the
    commencement of commercial production from the Project.

The First Nations Parties will have a pre-emptive right to participate in subsequent public offerings by Brett to maintain their then-existing percentage equity interest in Brett.

"We are thrilled to have these First Nations partners with us to participate in the success of our Project", stated Patrick Soares, President and CEO of Brett. "We believe that the opportunities created by this Project will benefit all the communities in the area."

Brett and the First Nations Parties have also agreed to establish four committees in relation to the development of the Project: (i) Environmental; (ii) Training and Employment; (iii) Implementation; and (iv) Social, Cultural and Economic development, in a continuing effort to further the Company's development of the Project and ensure the interests of the First Nations Parties are addressed in an ongoing manner.

This Agreement and the IBA are subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, all other required regulatory approvals and the execution of a formal IBA.

A formal signing of the Agreement, a significant document for Brett and the First Nations, will take place at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Convention taking place in Toronto. The ceremony is expected to take place in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South Building) Room 717A on March 9, 2010 between 2:00 and 3:00 pm (Toronto time).
