Brett Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BBR) (the "Company" or "Brett") is pleased to
announce that the Sawbill North road was officially opened on February 2, 2010.
Approximately 26 kilometres in length, this road provides a shorter link between
Brett's mineral properties in the Hammond Reef Area and the community of
Atikokan. The road will also provide access for other resource related
activities in the area.


The rehabilitation of the Sawbill North road is a collaborative construction
project between the Seine River First Nation, which contributed $45,000 in
training funds, Brett which contributed $150,000 and the Ministry of Natural
Resources which provided funding of $150,000. The Ministry also provided a
bridge for use on the rehabilitated Sawbill North road. Brett would like to
thank the Town of Atikokan for their assistance in coordinating this project.


All parties recognize the need to support economic development in the area for
First Nation Communities and the town of Atikokan. Work on the road provided
employment, training and development opportunities to First Nation community
members in the area as well as employment opportunities to residents of the town
of Atikokan. Rainy Lake Tribal Contracting Ltd. supervised construction and
rehabilitation activities along the road which was completed on budget and on
time.


The official opening
(http://www.tbnewswatch.com/Video/Default.aspx?art_id=18443) of the road was
attended by Chief Earl Klyne, chief of the Seine River First Nation, Dennis
Brown, Mayor of Atikokan, and Bill Mauro, MPP. Brett President and CEO, Patrick
Soares, and Director, Steve Cook, were also in attendance along with employees
of Brett's Atikokan office.


"Brett is extremely pleased with the collaborative approach taken by all parties
involved with this project. We are looking forward to this being the first of
many future ventures that will be beneficial to all the stakeholders of the
Hammond Reef Project," said Patrick Soares, President and CEO of the Company.


Brett is conducting a minimum of 70,000 metres of drilling during 2010 with the
expectation of a sequential program for 2011. Up to six drills will be
operating, one of which will be focused on completing PQ drilling for
metallurgical samples. The Company is also advancing base line environmental,
engineering and metallurgical studies that are in support of a feasibility
study.


Now that this road is complete, travel time to Hammond Reef from the town of
Atikokan will be reduced to about 45 minutes. Brett has set up an exploration
office, core logging facilities and a community relations centre in the town of
Atikokan and will continue to pursue a local hiring policy where qualified local
personnel are available.


Ongoing Exploration Activities:

As part of its efforts to satisfy the obligation under Brett's acquisition
agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation to expend $2 million on reviewing,
acquiring and testing properties of mutual interest in British Columbia and the
Yukon, In September 2009 Brett signed a letter agreement (the "Letter
Agreement") with Firesteel Resources Inc. ("Firesteel") pursuant to which Brett
would have the option to acquire, on certain terms set out in the Letter
Agreement, Firesteel's interest in certain mineral claims in British Columbia
referred to as the "ROK Property". The definitive purchase and sale agreement
contemplated by the Letter Agreement was not entered into and in the intervening
period Firesteel has entered into a letter of intent with a third party for the
acquisition of an interest by that third party in the ROK Property. Brett has
filed a writ of summons against Firesteel for breach of the Letter Agreement
which seeks various remedies including specific performance of the Letter
Agreement or, alternatively, damages. Brett does not presently consider the ROK
Property to be material to the Company.
