BBR Brett Resources

Osisko Mining Corporation ("Osisko") (TSX:OSK) (FRANKFURT:EWX) and Brett
Resources Inc. ("Brett") (TSX VENTURE:BBR) (FRANKFURT: A4N) are pleased to
announce that their previously announced Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement")
has been approved by the shareholders of Brett at a special meeting of Brett
shareholders held on August 11, 2010.


On August 12, 2010, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued a final order
approving the Arrangement. The Arrangement is expected to become effective on or
about August 13, 2010. The common shares of Brett (the "Brett Shares") are
expected to be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange two or three business
days following the effective date of the Arrangement. In addition, Brett intends
to apply to the relevant provincial securities regulators to cease to be a
reporting issuer.


Under the terms of the Arrangement, each Brett shareholder will receive 0.34
Osisko common shares and $0.0001 in cash for each Brett Share held (the
"Exchange Consideration"). The Exchange Consideration is the same consideration
that Osisko offered and paid under its offer dated April 13, 2010 (the "Offer").
The Arrangement constitutes the subsequent acquisition transaction, as
contemplated under the Offer, by which Osisko will acquire all of the remaining
Brett Shares not already owned by Osisko.


In order to receive the Exchange Consideration, former Brett shareholders that
held their Brett Shares registered in their names, must complete the letter of
transmittal which accompanied the Brett information circular dated July 13, 2010
and deposit it, together with their Brett share certificates, with CIBC Mellon
Trust Company. Complete instructions are set out in the information circular and
the accompanying letter of transmittal. The information circular and a copy of
the letter of transmittal are available on Brett's profile at www.sedar.com.
Former Brett shareholders who held their Brett shares through intermediary banks
or brokerage houses should contact their bank or broker to determine what
action, if any, they need to take to receive the Exchange Consideration.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this press release may be deemed
"forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other than
statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that Osisko
and Brett expect to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking
statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but
not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates",
"believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and
similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may",

expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, including, without limitation that all technical, economical and

include gold prices, access to skilled consultants, mining development and mill
production personnel, results of exploration and development activities, Osisko
and Brett's limited experience with production and development stage mining
operations, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability
of personnel, materials and equipment, timeliness of government approvals,
actual performance of facilities, equipment and processes relative to
specifications and expectations, unanticipated environmental impacts on
operations market prices, continued availability of capital and financing and
general economic, market or business conditions. These factors are discussed in
greater detail in Osisko and Brett's most recent Annual Information Forms, both
of which are filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions
in connection with these statements. Osisko and Brett caution that the foregoing
list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base
themselves on the forward-looking statements contained herein should carefully
consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the
risk they entail. Osisko and Brett believe that the expectations reflected in
