Brownstone and Canoro Enter Into Letter of Intent for Farm-In on Indian Blocks.

TORONTO -- Brownstone Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BWN) ("Brownstone"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent with Canoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CNS) ("Canoro") whereby Brownstone will farm-in for a 15% participating interest in Canoro's AA-ON/7 and AA-ONN-2003/2 exploration blocks in northeast India, subject to governmental and other approvals. Canoro and Brownstone have also agreed to work together on future opportunities in India for the next three years.

For Brownstone, this letter of intent marks an entry point into India's tight oil and gas market and access to Canoro's significant Indian experience and oil and gas expertise. Canoro's balance sheet is strengthened and its capital exposure to exploration reduced, providing flexibility for development expenditures for the Amguri field and NELP VI.

To earn the 15% participating interest in both blocks, Brownstone will be paying a portion of Canoro's past and current costs, including 2-D seismic costs, in the aggregate of up to US$2 million with respect to work on the blocks and, in addition, Brownstone will issue to Canoro 400,000 common shares and 200,000 share purchase options entitling Canoro to purchase one common share in Brownstone at a price of $2.20 for a period of five years, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Canoro's existing partners in each block have pre-emptive rights on any transfer of interest by Canoro. The transaction is also subject to usual conditions including due diligence and approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
