The key points presented were:

Niger

On 14 May 2008, Brinkley Mining announced that its 70 percent owned Nigerien subsidiary, African Uranium SARL ("African Uranium"), had been granted an Exploration Permit in Niger ("Terzemasour 3"). Terzemasour 3 covers an area of 422.3km² in the Tim Mersoi basin, is located approximately 30 kilometres to the west of the northern Niger town of Agadez and is proximal to the Arlit fault which is the main structural control to the existing uranium producing mines in Niger.

Brinkley also announced that the Nigerien owner of the 30 per cent interest in African Uranium SARL had a put option to sell its interest in the company to Brinkley Mining at a price of US$1.75 million for a period of 360 days. This option has now been exercised, the option amount paid and all legal formalities completed such that African Uranium is now a 100 percent owned subsidiary of Brinkley Mining.

Following the award of the Terzemasour 3 permit, the Company established a field office in town of Agadez close to the permit area. A team of three geologists is currently undertaking a field mapping and ground radiometric survey program in around selected radiometric anomalies identified by the aerial survey undertaken by Brinkley earlier in the year. A drilling program has been scheduled to commence in mid-September after the rainy season has ended. The program will consist of a reconnaissance tri-cone drilling program at each of the selected anomalies as well as a limited diamond drilling program to provide complete stratigraphic control information.

Sudan

On 30 April 2008, Brinkley Mining announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brinkley Mining Project 4 Ltd, had 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 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. 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.

Following the award, the Company carried out a comprehensive Landsat interpretation of the geology of the concession are and its field team carried out an initial reconnaissance field survey involving a programme of stream sampling, radiometric surveying and mapping. This work has been suspended due to the start of the rainy season and will resume in November.

An airborne aeromagnetic and radiometric survey commenced on 1 June 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by late September 2008. It is planned that 49,000 line kilometers will be flown. Some 2,887 line km have been flown as of 9 July 2008.

The exploration program is being carried out in terms of a Joint Venture Agreement with the New Kush Exploration and Mining Company Limited, which holds the exclusive licence for gold exploration within the Budi Concession. In terms of the Agreement, the parties share on a 50:50 basis the cost of exploration and the benefits arising from it.

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 and the results of the airborne survey are known. 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.
