Brinx Resources Completes First 6 of the 10 Well Drilling Program at Palmetto Point

Brinx Resources Ltd. (OTCBB: BNXR) (the "Company" or "Brinx") is pleased to announce additional gas and oil discoveries at Palmetto Point, Mississippi that are exceeding the Company's expectations.

Six wells have been drilled of the current ten-well program. Production casing has been set on four of these wells -- F-118, F-42, F-40, and F-39. All four of these Wells encountered zones of natural gas, and two of the four wells contain oil zones in addition to the natural gas. The results of the four successful wells to date are as follows:

       Well Number        Thickness of        Thickness of
     and Total Depth      Natural Gas Pay(s)    Oil Pay

    F-118   3800 feet      13 feet              3 feet
    F-42    3050 feet       6 feet              4 feet
    F-40    3892 feet       2 feet             13 feet
    F-39    3900 feet      15 feet              4 feet

At present the F-118 and F-42 wells are being hooked up to the natural gas pipeline, and gas production should begin within three weeks. Connections to the pipeline should be complete for the F-40 and F-39 soon after. Potential flow rates will not be known until after connections are complete and production established, and will be reported at that time. The drill rig has now moved onto the P-36-2: the seventh well in the 10 well program.

Brinx President Leroy Halterman says that, "Brinx is keenly interested in our ability to participate in the long-term development of potentially over eighty wells at Palmetto Point." Halterman added that "the Palmetto project along with our Oklahoma assets have the potential to deliver significant value to our Company."

Brinx intends to evaluate the results of the ten-well program, as well as the technical information being generated through the drill program, and will determine the extent of its involvement in additional drill programs.

As announced March 8, Brinx has acquired an initial 10% interest in a 10-Well drilling program at Palmetto Point. Targets are primarily but not exclusively natural gas and the Operator -- Griffin & Griffin Exploration -- has already shot and analyzed extensive areas of 3D seismic and identified over 80 drill targets.

Griffin & Griffin Exploration is facilitating all aspects of the program including drilling, logging, testing, completing and equipping for production of all ten wells. The prospect wells are located in the Frio Geological Formation. Frio wells typically enjoy low finding costs and have a high degree of success. Griffin has utilized seismic "bright spot" technology, a technology that helps to identify gas reservoirs and to delineate the reservoir geometry and limits. Utilizing these critical factors has improved reserve estimates and the geologic success ratio.

The gas targets occur at shallow depths, and have minimal completion costs. The Frio in the area of Southwest Mississippi and North-Central Louisiana is a very complex series of sand representing marine transgressions and regressions and the presence of varying depositional environments. Structurally, the Frio gas accumulations are a function of local structure and/or structural nose formed as a result of differential compaction features. However, stratigraphic termination (i.e. up dip pinchout of sands within shales) also plays a role in most Frio accumulations. The stratigraphy is so complex that seismic HCL evaluations are the primary viable exploratory tool for the Frio prospect.

About Brinx Resources

Brinx Resources is an expanding exploration company focused on developing North American oil and natural gas reserves. The Company's current focus is on the continued exploration and development of its land portfolio comprised of working interests in the Owl Creek Project located in McClain County, Oklahoma (50% interest), the Three Sands Project located in Noble County, Oklahoma (40% interest), and its newest interest in its Mississippi Prospect in Palmetto Point (10% interest). Brinx Resources is seeking to expand its portfolio to include additional interests North America.

Leroy Halterman, President

The Company has no official gas or oil reserves at this time and may not have sufficient funding to thoroughly explore, drill or develop its properties. Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future operations, performance and other developments. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company's best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors but they include and are not limited to the existence of underground deposits of commercial quantities of oil and gas; cessation or delays in exploration because of mechanical, operating, financial or other problems; capital expenditures that are higher than anticipated; or exploration opportunities being fewer than currently anticipated. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company's public announcements and filings.
