Vancouver, B.C. – Brilliant Mining Corp (BMC: TSXV) ("Brilliant" or the "Company") today announced an initial $1.0 million 2007 exploration program to follow-up on the highly encouraging results from the 2006 program at the 100% owned Michikamau Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Platinum Group Elements (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE) Project located in Labrador, Canada.

Key Point Summary:

2007 Program

• 1,500 m diamond drilling planned for early July
• Drill test the Sword Far North surface discovery
• Focus on observed nickel enrichment zones within the Michikamau troctolitic intrusion
• 100 line km ground geophysics in late June

2006 Highlights

• Ni-Cu-Co sulphides intersected near surface across 4 km by 5 km area
• Grab samples averaging 1.14% Ni, 0.67% Cu and 0.194% Co
• Comparison of Nickel / Sulfur ratios reveals nickel enrichment
• Microprobe analysis identifies significant nickel enrichment textures in surface showing sample
• Land position increased from 116 km² to 488 km²

Michikamau 2007 Planned Exploration Program

The 2007 exploration program, combining both ground geophysics and drilling, is currently planned to commence in late June.  An initial 100 line kilometre magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical program at 25-100 metre line spacings will establish and refine targets for a 1,500 metre diamond drill program.  A helicopter and diamond drill have been sourced and contracted to complete the program.

The 2007 program will focus on the Juno and Sword geophysical anomaly trends with special emphasis on expanding the observed nickel enrichment within the system as outlined by the 2006 Sword Far North surface discovery.
