VANCOUVER, Jan. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - Brazil Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Brazil Resources") (TSX-V: BRI; OTCQX: BRIZF) is pleased to announce that it has received National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") resource estimates for each of its São Jorge, Boa Vista and Surubim Gold Projects located in Pará State, Brazil. The projects were acquired by Brazil Resources through its acquisition of Brazilian Gold Corporation ("BGC") in November 2013. The resource estimates confirm the historical estimates completed by BGC as disclosed by the Company in its press release dated November 22, 2013.

São Jorge Gold Project

Brazil Resources engaged Coffey Mining Pty Ltd. ("Coffey") to prepare an NI 43-101 resource estimate on the São Jorge Project (the "São Jorge Estimate"). The São Jorge Estimate has an effective date of November 22, 2013 and provides the following estimates for the project (oxide and primary mineralization) at various cut-off grades (the oxide resource comprises a small part (approximately 9%) of the overall resource):

São Jorge Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimates Summary
	Lower Cutoff Grade	Million Tonnes	Average Grade	Contained Gold (Kozs)
	(g/t Au)		(g/t Au)
Indicated Mineral Resource	0.3	14.42	1.54	715
	0.4	12.15	1.77	690
	0.5	10.49	1.97	666
Inferred Mineral Resource	0.3	28.19	1.14	1,035
	0.4	22.43	1.35	971
	0.5	18.78	1.52	918

The São Jorge Estimate was based on a block model of the deposit. Coffey classified the resource estimate as an indicated or inferred mineral resource based upon the confidence of the input data, geological interpretation and grade estimation. Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au, which is estimated by Coffey based upon economic estimates, process recovery, government taxes, other expenses and a gold price of US$1,300/oz. The São Jorge Estimate is based on 37,154 m (145 holes) of diamond drilling completed by previous operators, including 14,708 m (37 holes) of diamond drilling completed by BGC since late 2010. Gold assays (19,590) were composited at 1 m lengths and interpolated into the block model using multiple indicator kriging. A three-dimensional solid model of the sulphide and oxide mineralization was constructed to constrain the resource estimate. The block model is comprised of individual blocks measuring 5 m by 5 m by 5 m and grade is interpolated into these blocks using multiple indicator kriging. The above estimates may not reconcile due to rounding. No additional material exploration work has been completed on the project by the Company.

The São Jorge Estimate was prepared for Brazil Resources by Porfirio Rodriquesz, B.Sc. (Min Eng.), MAIG and Leonardo de Moraes Soares, B.Sc (Geo), MAIG of Coffey, who are qualified persons as defined under NI 43-101, are independent of the Company and have reviewed and approved the disclosure regarding the São Jorge Estimate above.

Boa Vista Gold Project

The Company has received an NI 43-101 resource estimate respecting the VG1 deposit (Boa Vista Gold Project), located in Pará State in northern Brazil (the "Boa Vista Estimate"), with an effective date of July 3, 2012. The following tables set out the Boa Vista Estimate (oxide and primary mineralization) at various cut-off grades (the oxide resource comprises a small part (approximately 1.3%) of the overall resource):

Boa Vista Gold Project - VG1 Deposit Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates Summary
Au Cut-off (g/t)	Tonnes > Cut-off (tonnes)	Grade > Cut-off Au (g/t)	Contained Metal Au (ozs)
0.50	8,470,000	1.23	336,000
0.60	6,980,000	1.38	310,000
0.70	5,930,000	1.51	288,000
0.80	5,090,000	1.64	268,000
0.90	4,580,000	1.73	254,000
1.00	4,150,000	1.81	241,000

The Boa Vista Estimate was based on shallow (<150m depth) and limited drilling (15 holes in 3,007m) and 14 trenches (2,299 m) containing 3,399 assays. The drill holes intersected a west-northwest striking, steeply dipping mineralized zone that is up to 85 m in thickness and extends at least 150 m below surface based on existing drilling. The mineralized zone consists of quartz-pyrite stockwork and silicified zone(s) that are hosted within a foliated, mixed mafic volcanic and intrusive unit at or adjacent to granite rocks. Gold assays were composited at 5 m lengths and interpolated into the block model using ordinary kriging. A three-dimensional solid model of the primary and oxide mineralization was constructed to constrain the resource estimate. 12 of the 15 diamond drill holes and 6 of the 14 trenches penetrated these solids over a strike length of 500 m and were used in the resource estimate. The block model is comprised of individual blocks measuring 20 m by 20 m by 5 m with the long dimensions of the block orientated east-west and down dip. At the time of the Boa Vista Estimate no economic studies have been completed on the project and, as a result, an economic cut-off is unknown. No additional material exploration work has been completed on the project by the Company.

The Boa Vista Estimate was prepared for Brazil Resources by Jim Cuttle, B.Sc., P. Geo, Gary Giroux, MAsc., P. Eng. and Michael Schmulian, Bsc (Hons), Msc, FAusIMM, who are qualified persons as defined under NI 43-101, are independent of the Company and have reviewed and approved the disclosure regarding the Boa Vista Estimate above.

Surubim Gold Project (previously called Rio Novo project)

Brazil Resources has received an NI 43-101 resource estimate (the "Surubim Estimate") respecting the Surubim Gold Project, located in Pará State in northern Brazil, with an effective date of April 15, 2012. The following table sets out the Surubim Estimate at various cut-off grades:

Surubim Gold Project - Jau Prospect Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates Summary
Au Cut-off (g/t)	Tonnes > Cut-off (tonnes)	Grade > Cut-off Au (g/t)	Contained Metal Au (ozs)
0.30	19,440,000	0.81	503,000
0.40	15,230,000	0.93	456,000
0.50	11,960,000	1.06	409,000
0.60	9,520,000	1.20	336,000
0.70	7,750,000	1.32	329,000
0.80	6,660,000	1.42	303,000
0.90	5,790,000	1.50	279,000
1.00	4,880,000	1.60	252,000
1.10	3,910,000	1.74	219,000
1.20	3,080,000	1.90	188,000
1.30	2,510,000	2.05	165,000

The Surubim Estimate was based on a total of 20 drill holes containing 2,978 gold assays. Gold assays were composited at 2.5 m lengths and interpolated into the block model using ordinary kriging. A three dimensional solid model of the mineralization was constructed to constrain the resource estimate. The block model is comprised of individual blocks measuring 20 m by 20 m by 5 m with the long dimensions of the block orientated east-west and north-south. No economic studies have been completed on this property and, as a result, the economic cut-off is unknown. A gold cut-off of 0.3 g/t was highlighted in the estimate as a possible open pit cut-off. No additional material exploration work has been completed on the project by the Company.

The Surubim Estimate was prepared for Brazil Resources by Jim Cuttle, P. Geo and Gary Giroux, P. Eng., who are qualified persons as defined under NI 43-101, are independent of the Company and have reviewed and approved the disclosure regarding the Surubim Estimate above.

Technical reports respecting each of the above resource estimates will be filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR in due course.  There is no new material scientific or technical information respecting each of the above projects since the effective date of their respective resource estimates.

Cautionary Note

Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in the "indicated" and "Inferred" categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves with demonstrated economic viability or that inferred mineral resources will be converted to the measured and/or indicated categories through further drilling. In addition, the estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
