Brinx Resources Completes Private Placement

Brinx Resources Ltd. (OTC BB: BNXR) (the "Company" or "Brinx") is pleased to announce the completion of a private placement in the amount US$239,980 on May 3, 2006. The Company has raised US$739,979 through private placements during the last 70 days.

In its May 3, 2006 private placement, the Company issued 184,600 restricted units to a foreign investor at the price of $1.30 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $1.80 per share within 24 months of issuance. The Company does not intend to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to these units, thus the shares issued will be restricted under various regulatory provisions.

"We are extremely happy to close this phase of funding insofar as it allows our company the opportunity of strengthening its balance sheet through the drill bit," said Leroy Halterman, President of Brinx Resources Ltd. "The commencement of drilling this month on both the Powell #2 well at Owl Creek in Oklahoma and the 10-well program at Palmetto Point in Mississippi are indicative of the forward momentum Brinx is generating."

Along with its partner and project operator Ranken Energy Corporation, Brinx Resources has the potential to complete 25 additional wells on the Owl Creek Prospect after the completion of the Powell #2 well -- the first offset development well to the Powell #1 -- which commenced on May 1, 2006. Brinx has a 70% working interest in the Owl Creek Prospect.

Additionally, drilling at Palmetto Point is expected to commence within the next week. The targets at Palmetto Point are primarily, but not exclusively, natural gas and the operator, Griffin and Griffin, has shot and analyzed extensive areas of 3D seismic and identified over 80 drill targets. Brinx has a 10% gross working and revenue interest in the 10-well drilling program at Palmetto Point.
