Vancouver, B.C. - Brilliant Mining Corp. (BMC:TSXV) (“Brilliant”) today announces a preliminary production forecast and an exploration update for the high-grade Lanfranchi Nickel Mine, Tramways Tenements in the world class Kambalda District of Western Australia.

Key Point Summary (100% basis)

• Significant ramp-up in production at the Lanfranchi Nickel Mine through the next two years
• 8,000 tonnes (17.6 million lbs) Ni metal production projected for July 07-June 08
• 13,250 tonnes (29.2 million lbs) Ni metal production target for July 08-June 09
• Aggressive exploration budget greater than US$4 million to be spent over next 12 months
• US$0.007/lb Ni per Deacon Indicated Resource discovery/delineation unit cost

“The proposed mine plan and continued increase to the resource inventory, plant and infrastructure is on schedule for the Lanfranchi Nickel Mine’s production goal of 10,000 tonnes of Ni metal” states John Williamson, CEO Brilliant Mining Corp.

Production Forecast 2007/08 (100% basis)
The preliminary production forecast for the high-grade Lanfranchi Nickel Mine is 8,000 tonnes (17.6 million lbs) contained Ni metal in 2007/08 (July 07 to June 08) based on approximately 300,000 tonnes of ore deliveries at 2.65% Ni. This preliminary forecast represents a 45% increase to the 2006/07 forecast for Lanfranchi of 5,500 tonnes of contained Ni, reflecting continued successful economies of scale and the planned introduction of higher grade ore coming from Winner and Deacon.

The main factors contributing to the significant ramp-up in production are:

• Ore from Winner(1) with a reserve grading 4.28% Ni scheduled for October 2007; and
• Ore from Deacon(2) with an indicated resource grading 3.09% scheduled for first development ore production November 2007 and first longhole stope ore production in March 2008.

Production Target 2008/09
Based on the previously delineated resource and reserve inventory, the recent exploration success at Lanfranchi and Deacon, and the continued investment in plant and infrastructure the Lanfranchi Joint Venture’s potential production target for the 2008/09 (July 07 to June 08 mine-plan year end) operating year is approximately 13,250 tonnes (29.2 million lbs) contained Ni metal. This rate of production is achievable provided the ramp-up at Deacon and Winner progresses on schedule.

Discovery & Purchase Unit Costs
The Lanfranchi Nickel Mine and surrounding Tramways Tenements was purchased by the Lanfranchi Joint Venture for an USD $20 million equivalent. At the time of the acquisition the Lanfranchi Mine contained 53,000 tonnes of Ni metal in the Indicated Resource category(3). This translates to an acquisition unit cost of US$0.17/lb of Ni metal (see Table 1 below). In comparison, the discovery and delineation of the Deacon containing 50,000 tonnes of Ni metal in the Indicated Resource category cost US$0.007/lb.

The nominal exploration unit cost associated with the Deacon’s contribution to the resource inventory highlights the overall prospectivity of the property. In this regard, the Company believes that a focussed exploration program is fundamental to the continued vitality of the project and has budgeted an aggressive USD $4 million for the next 12 month period (July07-June08).

Exploration Update
Numerous channel style massive and disseminated nickel sulphide deposits have been historically developed at the Lanfranchi Mine and most display evidence of down-plunge extensions. These potential extensions to known bodies of mineralization are the primary focus of the exploration program at Lanfranchi over the next 12 months.

Exploration and resource definition drill programs are currently underway from both surface and underground at the Tramways Tenements. The plan is to test a total of six advanced targets during the remainder of 2007 (see Table 2).

Northern Tramways Dome – Overturned Stratigraphy
The Northern Tramways Dome stratigraphy is under-explored and geologically complex. Vertical stratigraphic holes have been drilled previously to test the concept that the basal contact of the Kambalda komatiite is overturned in places along the northern side of the Tramways Dome. The drilling indicated that the basal contact of the highly prospective Silver Lake Member of the Kambalda Komatiite Formation is overturned in this area and dips back towards the south under the Lunnon Basalt (Figure 3). This provides considerable future exploration significance. If this interpretation is maintained elsewhere across the Tramways Dome then new massive nickel sulphide shoots could potentially be discovered in this region.

Given the conceptual success to date a more detailed program has commenced to explore for continuations of the Schmitz and Helmut channels on the north side of the Tramways Dome. Drill testing of this surface over a 2 kilometre strike length will form a significant part of the exploration activities for the next 12 months (Figure 4).
