VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 30, 2011) - Brazilian Gold Corporation (News - Market indicators) -

Highlights

1. Phase One Drill Program intersects mineralization down dip of historic drilling.

• Phase One Drill Program (5,000 metres) is 80% complete with nine holes completed to date with assays pending for an three holes.
• Program has intersected mineralization down dip of the historic drilling to +300 metres below surface in the central portion of the São Jorge deposit, a strike length of 700 metres.
• Significant intersections include 1.37 grams/tonne over 86 metres (SJD-085-11, previously reported), 1.71 grams/tonne over 12.0 metres (SJD-086-11), and 1.44 grams/tonne over 18.0 metres (SJD-088-11).

2. Phase Two Drill Program (7,000 metres) soon to commence.

• Phase Two Drill Program (7,000 metres) will infill along strike northwest and southeast of the central portion of the São Jorge deposit in areas with wide spaced drilling and will also test new targets identified from the soil sampling and induced polarization surveys that are currently in progress.

3. Six new targets identified outside of the São Jorge deposit area.

• Reconnaissance prospecting and sampling program on the large, highly prospective São Jorge property in May and June has identified 6 new targets for more detailed follow-up exploration work; assay results are pending.

4. Preliminary Economic Assessment by Coffey Mining on schedule for completion by the end of Q2 2011.

5. A National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate is scheduled to be completed by Q1 2012 incorporating the results of the Phase One and Phase Two Drill Programs.

Brazilian Gold Corporation ("Brazilian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from an additional five holes from the Phase One Drill Program (5,000 metres) at the São Jorge project. The São Jorge deposit hosts an NI43-101 indicated resource of 343,000 ounces (8.3Mt grading 1.3 g/t gold) and an inferred resource of 458,000 ounces (12.6 Mt grading 1.1 g/t gold) using a 0.5 gram/tonne cut-off (Coffey Mining, Sept. 14, 2010). The deposit is approximately 1,450 metres long, up to 100 metres wide and has been delineated from surface to 200 metres depth; the deposit is open along strike and at depth. The five holes reported herein were drilled down dip of existing drilling between 200 to 300 metres below surface and all five holes intersected significant intervals of alteration and mineralization (Table 1).

The current drill program tested below the central portion of the São Jorge deposit on 50 metres sections representing approximately 700 metres of the overall strike length (1,450 metres) of the deposit. The drill holes were drilled to the north or south at -55° to -60° to intersect the deposit between 200 to 300 metres below surface; approximately 4,000 metres of the Phase One program has been completed to date. The Phase Two drill program (7,000 metres) will infill along strike of the central portion of the deposit where drilling is widely spaced and will also test new targets identified by the soil geochemistry and induced polarization surveys currently in progress.

Commenting on these latest set of results from São Jorge, Ian Stalker, CEO of the Company, said, "These latest drill results continue to expand the limits of the São Jorge deposit and these results along with results from the Phase Two Drill program will be incorporated into a new NI43-101 compliant resource estimate schedule to be completed by Q1 2012."

Laboratory Procedures

Drill core is sampled at 2 metre or smaller intervals using a Diamond saw. One half of the sample is archived and the other half is dispatched to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd.'s sample preparation facility in Itaituba, Brazil, where the sample is crushed, split and pulverized to -200 mesh. The pulp is shipped to Santiago, Chile or Vancouver, Canada for gold fire assay. Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. is an internationally certified ISO 9001 laboratory.

Garnet Dawson, M.Sc., P.Geo. (British Columbia), Vice President, Exploration for the Company and a Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this News Release.

About Brazilian Gold Corporation

Brazilian Gold Corporation is a Canadian based public company with a focus on acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in northern Brazil. It is the largest holder of exploration concessions (3,546 km²) in the underexplored Tapajós Mineral Province, which historically produced over 30 million ounces of gold largely from alluvial deposits. The Company has a portfolio of ten grass-roots to development stage gold projects (8 projects in the Tapajós and 2 projects in the nearby Alta Floresta Gold Province) with drill programs (4 drill rigs) currently underway on the São Jorge, Rio Novo and Surubim projects.

The São Jorge development project hosts an NI43-101 indicated resource of 343,000 ounces (8.3 Mt grading 1.3 g/t gold) and an inferred resource of 458,000 ounces (12.6 Mt grading 1.1 g/t gold) using a 0.5 gram/tonne cut-off (Coffey Mining, Sept. 14, 2010). The Company has commissioned Coffey to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) or Scoping Study that will look at various development and production scenarios to determine the financial viability of the project. The study is expected to be completed in Q2 2011 and dependent on project economics, the Company plans to embark on a pre-feasibility/feasibility study soon thereafter.

Brazilian Gold owns a 75% interest in the Rea Uranium Project in northeastern Alberta, which is currently being operated by AREVA, who are earning up to a 50% interest by completing an additional Cdn$2.84 million in expenditures by Dec. 31, 2013.
