Brett Resources Inc. ("Brett") (TSX VENTURE: BBR) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Messrs. Sean Roosen, Robert Wares, John
Burzynski and Bryan A. Coates to the Board of Directors.
The new directors are executives of Osisko Mining Corporation

to a friendly takeover bid.
The new directors replace Ms. Pauline Pasetka, Messrs. Steven
Cook, Carl Hering and Maurice Tagami. Messrs. Ron Netolitzky and
Patrick Soares will be continuing on the Board and will provide for
continuity in the direction of the project.
Mr. Patrick Soares, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Brett, commenting on the Board changes noted: "We extend our
appreciation to the directors that have tendered their resignation
for the guidance and contribution in the development of our
Company, and we welcome the new representatives from Osisko Mining
Corporation on the Board of Directors as we pursue the development
of our Hammond Reef Gold Project. We believe the addition of the
new directors and the access to the management team of Osisko will
allow the development of the Hammond Reef project to proceed with
increased efficiency and on an expedited time line."
Osisko intends to effect a subsequent acquisition transaction
within the next 15 weeks in order to acquire all of the remaining
Brett shares that were not tendered on May 19, 2010. Osisko intends
to vote all of the Brett common shares acquired under the offer in
favour of any subsequent acquisition transaction. On completion of
a subsequent acquisition transaction, Osisko intends to de-list the
Brett shares from the TSX Venture Exchange.

discussed in greater detail in the Corporation's most recent Annual
Information Form filed on SEDAR, which also provides additional
general assumptions in connection with these statements. The
Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important factors
