Brampton Brick Limited Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid.

BRAMPTON, Ontario -- Brampton Brick Limited (TSX:BBL.SV.A) announced today that The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") has accepted a notice filed by BBL of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid").

The notice provides that BBL may, during the 12 month period commencing August 11, 2005 and ending August 10, 2006, purchase on the Exchange up to 420,000 Class A subordinate voting shares in total, being approximately 5% of the total number of Class A subordinate voting shares outstanding. The price which BBL will pay for any such shares will be the market price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of Class A subordinate voting shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Bid and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by management of BBL. As at July 31, 2005 there are approximately 8,417,854 Class A subordinate voting shares and 2,429,000 Class B multiple voting shares outstanding. All Class A subordinate voting shares purchased pursuant to the Bid will be cancelled.

The Corporation purchased 200 of its Class A subordinate voting shares during the twelve months preceding the date of the notice at an average price of $11.55. All of such shares were purchased for cancellation.

BBL believes that its Class A subordinate voting shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect the value of such shares in relation to the business of BBL and its future business prospects. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, BBL believes that its outstanding Class A subordinate voting shares may represent an attractive investment to BBL. Furthermore, the purchases are expected to benefit all persons who continue to hold Class A subordinate voting shares by increasing their equity interest in BBL.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
