Brinx Resources Ltd., (OTCBB:BNXR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the

degree in geology. He has over 37 years of experience and is a registered
geologist in Wyoming and a licensed geologist in Texas. He has been employed by
Gulf Oil Corporation, Phillips Petroleum and Energy Reserves Group as well as
several public and private firms.

His broad experience has allowed him to perform mineral appraisals under United

Mr. Halterman's experience has been in management positions where he has
administered multimillion-dollar budgets for exploration, development, and
operations.

itself as an aggressive competitor in the oil and gas sector," said Mr.
Halterman, President. "I have every intention of assembling an expert team and
the capital required at this early, high-growth stage of its development."
