High Grade Drilling Results to Expand the Resource at Grey Fox

Brigus Gold Corp. ('Brigus? or the 'Company?) (NYSE MKT: BRD; TSX: BRD)
is pleased to report additional drilling results from its ongoing drill
program at the 147 Zone, including high grade gold intercepts of 8.7
grams per tonne over 21 metres and 6.2 grams per tonne over 25 metres.

'It is clear that the Grey Fox resource is more significant than
initially reported,? said Howard Bird, Brigus′ Senior Vice President of
Exploration. 'These high grade drill results are located outside of our
current resource estimate and will expand the gold resource on the Grey
Fox property.?

Next quarter, the Company plans to release an updated NI 43-101 resource
estimate on the Grey Fox property followed by a full feasibility study
in Q3 2013.

Highlights from the 147 Zone which remains open for expansion:

All assays are capped at 100 gpt gold, average gold grades over core
length widths.

'Currently we have four drill rigs turning on the 147 Zone and one rig
on the Contact Zone,? said Bird. 'Drill results are demonstrating
excellent potential for both an open pit and underground mine on the
Grey Fox property.?

Brigus′ 2013 Grey Fox drilling program is designed to extend and expand
both the 147 and Contact zones through systematic drilling along strike
and below the 200m level. Recent drilling results from below the 200m
level prove strong continuity in the down-dip especially with hole
GF12-639 intersecting 5.35 grams per tonne gold over 11 metres at a
vertical depth of 380 metres below surface.

Details of the most recent 147 Zone drill holes, the 147 Zone drill-hole
location map and a long section map can be found 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, which is ISO 9001:2000
certified in North America using standard fire assay procedures.
