JUNO CONDUCTIVE ZONE DRILL RESULTS MICHIKAMAU NI-CU-CO-PGE PROPERTY, LABRADOR
September 24, 2006 Vancouver, B.C. - Brilliant Mining Corp. (BMC:TSXV) ("Brilliant" or the "Company") has received analytical results for the first two holes of a 12 drill hole program, from the Juno Conductive Zone on the Company´s 100% owned Michikamau Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Project located in west central Labrador. Juno Conductive Zone - Key Point Summary:
"These initial Nickel-Copper-Cobalt results are very encouraging as they demonstrate that the project area hosts significant occurrences of magmatic sulphides with near surface potential" states Brilliant President Mike Sieb. Juno Conductive Zone Drill Results Two drill holes (MK06-01 and MK06-02) located 300 metres apart were designed to test near surface anomalies within the north-south Juno Conductive Trend. Table 1 highlights the significant intersections encountered: Table 1: Juno Conductive Zone Significant Drill Results
Drill hole MK06-01 intersected a 10.5 metre interval with individual samples ranging from 20-60% sulphide content. Drill hole MK06-02 intersected two 3.1 and 1.5 metre intervals with individual samples ranging from 20-60% and 40-70% sulphide content respectively. Michikamau 2006 Drill Program Summary The August 2006 drill program was comprised of 12 core holes (MK06-01 to MK06-11 and MK06-13) targeting 5 conductive zones and totaling 1,244 metres. The last hole was shut down on August 25, 2006 with all samples pending at ALS Chemex analytical laboratory. Brilliant expects 2-3 weeks for receipt of the rest of the 2006 drill program analytical results. The drill program tested 5 of 7 conductive zones refined by a high-resolution AeroTEM airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey. The conductive zones form part of two distinct trends observed within the survey area striking north-south for 5 kilometres (km) and east-west for greater than 2km in length.. Twenty-seven individual conductors within the zones, were modeled with drill priority assigned to targets of sufficient size exhibiting classical nickel sulphide signatures. All of the selected drill targets have been modeled in close proximity to the surface with the tops of the conductors not exceeding a depth of 75m below surface. Images and details discussed in the Michikamau Update can be viewed on our website at http://www.brilliantmining.com/. Michikamau Property The Michikamau Property ("Property") covers 488.25km2 within the Michikamau layered gabbro-anorthosite (troctolite) intrusion. This intrusion is considered to be highly favourable for hosting Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralization and represents a conceptual and empirical exploration target for Voisey´s Bay type mineralization. Twenty-seven (27) high to medium conductors have been identified on the Property, hosted in troctolite within the interpreted throat "feeder" zone. The largest conductive zone encompasses an 800m x 1000m area. The best exploration targets are near surface, shallow dipping, strong conductors with coincident moderate-high magnetic responses. The Property is proximally situated to existing infrastructure including the Churchill Falls hydroelectric facility. The project is supervised by Rob Carpenter, Ph.D., P.Geo. a Director of Brilliant, and is the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Analytical Technique ALS Chemex is a recognized laboratory employing the following analytical procedure on the reported samples. The received sample is logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 10 mesh) screen. A split of up to 250 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen. The prepared sample is subjected to four acid digestion (0.4g is digested with nitric, perchloric, and hydrofluoric acids with Hydrochloric acid subsequently added for further digestion). The resulting solution is analyzed by inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry. Results are corrected for spectral interelement interferences. QA/QC consists of the insertion of one method blank, two standards and one duplicate sample. Brilliant Mining Brilliant Mining Corp. (BMC: TSXV) is focused on the production, development and exploration of nickel opportunities world wide. The Company currently has a 25% interest in the Tramways Tenements which is host to the producing Lanfranchi Nickel Mine in Western Australia and has 3 active nickel projects in Canada, including the Michikamau property in central Labrador.
