) has completed the Fourth Stage diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral  campaign at its Tocantinzinho Project in the Tapajos region of Para State, Brazil. The program consisted of twelve core holes (TOC 06-35 to TOC 06-46) for a total of 3,022 meters. To date analytical results have been received for seven of the twelve holes. The best results were returned from Hole TOC 06-35 which intersected 108.92 meters averaging 1.48 g/t gold and 159.49 meters averaging 2.16 g/t gold, including 99 meters averaging 3.24 g/t gold.

The objective of the drilling program is to better define specific segments of the 650-meter-long known gold mineralization Mineralization

TOC 06-35 was collared northwest of hole TOC 05-21 to fill a gap in the known mineralization along Cross Section 8. The hole was directed towards the northeast at an inclination of -50 degrees. TOC 06-35 made two significant intersections and is one of the best holes drilled at Tocantinzinho to date. One intersection, from a depth of 48.86 meters to 157.78 meters, an interval of 108.92 meters, averaged 1.48 g Au/tonne. The second intersection, extending from a depth of 173.51 meters to 330.0 meters, an interval of 159.49 meters, averaged 2.16 g Au/tonne. An andesite andesite

 separates the two intervals. Both intervals contain higher grade zones. The upper interval contains a 77.00 meter interval grading 1.85 g Au/tonne. The lower interval contains a 99.00 meter interval grading 3.24 g Au/tonne.

TOC 06-36 was drilled to fill another gap in the area of known mineralization along Cross Section 10. The hole was collared 75 meters to the northwest of TOC 06-35 and was directed N.28 degrees E with an inclination of -50 degrees. This hole made a long intersection of gold mineralization. From a depth of 124.50 meters to 342.80 meters the hole intersected 218.30 meters grading 1.55 g Au/tonne.

" holes, designed to better define the capping andesite and to check the upper extent of gold mineralization. TOC 06-37, with an inclination of -75 degrees, intersected 17.55 meters of mineralization grading 1.1g Au/tonne before entering andesite. On the far side of the andesite, in the interval 90.00 to 144.00 meters, the hole intersected 54.0 meters grading 1.77 g Au/tonne. TOC 06-39, drilled from the site of TOC 06-37 but inclined at -50 degrees, made a 17.47 meter intersection of 1.06 g Au/tonne, crossing andesite from 17.47 to 66.00 meters. From 66 meters to 130.00 meters the hole intersected 64 meters grading 0.93 g Au/tonne.

TOC 06-38 was a wildcat wildcat, common name of two Old World cats, the European wildcat, Felis sylvestris, of Europe and W Asia, and the African wildcat, or kaffir cat, F. lybica, of Africa and Asia.  hole drilled to explore for mineralization at depth to the northwest of known mineralization along Cross Section 13. This -70 degrees inclined hole found no significant gold mineralization either near the surface or at depth. TOC 06-41 was drilled to test a large circular magnetic-low feature two kilometers to the northwest of the known Tocantinzinho gold area. The hole intersected a variety of granitic host rocks, some with fresh magnetite magnetite (măg`nətīt), lustrous black, magnetic mineral, Fe3O4. It occurs in crystals of the cubic system, in masses, and as a loose sand. . Only traces of pyrite pyrite (pī`rīt) or iron pyrites (pīrī`tēz, pə–, pī`rīts), pale brass-yellow mineral, the bisulfide of iron, FeS2.  are visible in the core; the drill hole failed to explain the prominent circular magnetic-low anomaly that it tested.

TOC 06-40 tested the northeastern limb of the known mineralization between Cross Sections 13 and 14. The hole was drilled towards the northeast at an inclination of -50 degrees and made an intersection of 53.05 meters, from 72.45 to 125.50 meters depth, grading 1.42 g Au/tonne.

Brazauro is awaiting the analytical results from five outstanding drill holes. The drill rig has moved on to another project and is slated to return to Tocantinzinho later this year. Locations of the drill holes discussed above are posted on Brazauro's website: www.brazauroresources.com

After comprehensive study of the Brazauro-generated geochemical, geological, and drilling results, the Mamoal and Batalha projects have been terminated. Brazauro's Brazilian subsidiary has signed agreements on two very promising new gold properties in the Tapajos region and Brazauro is consolidating its land position surrounding these properties.

Additional News

As announced February 16, 2006 Brazauro's subsidiary has entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to a mining license which covers the area of the Tocantinzinho Project where Brazauro held the rights to an application for an exploration license numbered 850.196/2003 and on which the eastern portion of the discovery zone is located. Under the terms of the agreement to acquire these rights Brazauro's subsidiary has agreed to pay the holders of the rights US$150,000 upon signing and a further US$2,850,000 in staged payments over two years, such staged payments being conditional upon publication of Departamento Nacional de Producao Mineral (DNPM DNPM Departamento Nacional da Produção Mineral (Brazilian: National Department of Mineral Production) ) approval of the assignment.

The mining license, once reviewed and approved by the DNPM in Brazil will provide paramount title In the law of real property, ownership that is superior to the ownership with which it is compared, in the sense that the former is the source or the origin of the latter.

The term paramount title
 to the whole area encompassed by application 850.196/2003. The boundaries of this application extend a number of kilometers to the east of the discovery zone at the Tocantinzinho Project providing a substantial buffer area around the discovery zone and its possible extensions. Completion of the review by the DNPM is anticipated soon.

Brazauro holds title to the western portion of the discovery zone at the Tocantinzinho project.

The drilling and exploration program has been conducted under the direction of Stephen Zahony, Vice-President of Brazauro, a "qualified person" under NI 43-101 who has also reviewed this news release.

The sampling and quality control procedures used in connection with the drilling program are described in a news release dated July 12, 2005, which may viewed under Brazauro's profile on www.sedar.com.
