Brigus Increases Black Fox Complex Resource By More Than 50% In Initial NI 43-101 On 147 And Contact Zones

Brigus Gold Corp. (“Brigus” or the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: BRD) (TSX: BRD) is pleased to announce an initial National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant, independent mineral resource estimate for the 147 and Contact zones on the Black Fox Complex. Highlights of the initial resource estimate include:

Zone			Indicated ounces			Inferred ounces			Number of Holes Included			Number of Holes Pending
147			43,820			351,910			86			59
Contact			72,890			107,510			169			36
TOTAL			116,710			459,420			255			95

“We are very pleased with the initial resource estimate,” said Howard Bird, Brigus’ Vice President of Exploration. “We believe these resource ounces represent near-term production opportunities given their proximity to our Black Fox infrastructure including the Black Fox mill which is currently being expanded. In addition, there are another 95 drill holes, with assays pending, that have not been included in the initial resource calculation and will increase our resource area drill hole data by 37% upon receipt of final assays. We expect the results from these holes will expand the resource and convert Inferred ounces to Indicated ounces in 2012.”
