NEWS RELEASE Goldbrook Confirms Contracts for 2009 Exploration Program
Vancouver, British Columbia - Goldbrook Ventures Inc. ("Goldbrook") is pleased to announce that it has concluded contracts for all program elements of its planned 2009 exploration in the Raglan belt in Ungava, Quebec. The 2009 Goldbrook program, in cooperation with project partner Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co., Ltd. of Jilin China, will entail a 70-person exploration camp and have a budget in excess of $15 million. The work will follow-up on the highly successful 2008 exploration, which resulted in the discovery of extensive nickel sulphides within the Mystery zone. Goldbrook has expended considerable effort over the winter months working with in-house geoscience staff, geological and geophysical consultants to review and analyze the company geophysical and geological databases and to compile geoscience data for the property. The result of this work has been the identification of a significant number of new targets for drill testing, particularly within the Mystery-Delta region. The planned program will better define the Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide potential within the company's extensive Raglan nickel belt property holdings. This year's exploration program will include in excess of 15,000 metres of drilling; sixteen hi-priority targets have been selected for drill testing, most of which are new showings with geological and geophysical characteristics similar to previous discoveries at Mystery, Getty and Sylvie. In addition, there will be an extensive program of geological mapping and geochemistry to improve the Company's knowledge of the setting and characteristics of the ultramafic rocks in the property area. Goldbrook plans to undertake additional VTEM surveys which have proven highly valuable in identifying new target zones for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization. New geoscience tools will also be deployed to the Raglan property as part of this year's program. Goldbrook will utilize an Innov-X Systems XRF Analyzer in field operations. This sophisticated tool provides real time analysis of metal content in rock, drill core and other earth materials. This helps with drill planning and most importantly provides immediate feedback to the regional mapping, geochemistry and prospecting programs.
Current planning is to mobilize equipment, drill crews and geological staff in mid-June with exploration work starting before the month end. The program is planned to run from about mid June into mid September.
Brian Grant, P.Geo. (President), Jamie Pardy P.Geo. (Goldbrook's Exploration Manager), and Ginette Carter, P.Geo. a consulting geologist to Goldbrook, are the designated Qualified Persons for Goldbrook Venture's Raglan Project. These individuals will supervise drill program, geological surveys and ensure control/quality assurance programs for the Raglan project during 2009.
