The initial resource estimate for the Contact and 147 zones, released in
December 2011, added more than 50 percent to the gold resource at the
Black Fox Complex. Exploration and resource in-fill drilling is
progressing as planned with three drill rigs currently turning. An
updated resource estimate for the Contact and 147 zones will be released
later this year.


Brigus has also commenced a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for
the 147 and Contact zones and is expected to release results during the
third quarter. These zones have the potential for robust economics and
near term production growth.


All drill hole data is posted on the Company′s website at www.brigusgold.com.


Surface drilling was conducted by Norex Drilling and was supervised by
the Brigus exploration team. All sample analyses reported herein were
performed by Polymet Labs of Cobalt, Ontario, and SGS Laboratories of
Sudbury, Ontario, which are ISO 9001:2000 certified in North America
using standard fire assay procedures. Intercepts cited do not
necessarily represent true widths, unless otherwise noted. Brigus Gold′s
quality control checks include insertion of blanks, standards and
duplicates to ensure laboratory accuracy. Senior Exploration Project
Manager John A. Dixon, P. Geo., reviewed the technical exploration
information in this release as the Qualified Person for the Company.
