Southern Sudan Provisional License

30 April 2008

Brinkley Mining announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brinkley Mining Project 4 Ltd, has been awarded a Provisional Prospecting License ("PPL") in Southern Sudan for the exclusive exploration of uranium and associated minerals over an area of over 5,000km(2) of Budi County, Eastern Equatoria State, Southern Sudan. The PPL is effective until 21 February 2009 and is renewable annually thereafter. The PPL is deemed provisional as there currently exists no formal Mining Law in Southern Sudan and accordingly there can be no certainty that on introduction of a formal Mining Law that the PPL will be renewed or continue to be valid.

A field team is currently carrying out a regional exploration programme of stream sampling, radiometric surveying and mapping in the Southern Sudan. An airborne aeromagnetic and radiometric survey is scheduled once all flight permitting is in place. While the Company believes that the Southern Sudan presents potentially attractive exploration opportunities, the Company intends to limit its expenditure until the Mining Law is clarified further. Accordingly, in aggregate, the Company has initially budgeted to spend up to US$1 million in the next 12 months on its exploration activities in the Southern Sudan.

The Company is seeking both primary and secondary uranium targets within an area that has received little attention or the application of modern exploration techniques.
